Anti-inflammatory control of human skin keratinocytes by targeting nuclear transport checkpoint.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In the two common inflammatory skin diseases, Atopic Dermatitis (AD) and Psoriasis (Ps), keratinocytes (KCs) respond to immune insults through activation of proinflammatory transcription factors (TFs) and their translocation to the cell's nucleus. Therein, the TFs induce expression of genes encoding mediators of skin inflammation. The Nuclear Transport Checkpoint Inhibitors (NTCIs) were developed to regulate nuclear translocation of activated TFs, the essential step of inflammatory response. This new class of cell-penetrating peptide therapeutics controls inflammation caused by allergic, autoimmune, metabolic, and microbial insults. In preclinical model of AD, the treatment with NTCI, cSN50.1 peptide, suppressed the expression of Thymic Stromal Lymphopoietin (TSLP
