Project description:Ceramide is an important lipid in skin barrier function. Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease, and the skin barrier function has disturbed. Furthermore, the balance of each ceramide species in stratum corneum is disrupted in psoriatic skin. However, it involved remains unclear what detailed mechanism ceramide species changed in psoriatic skin lesion. We comprehensively investigated lipid metabolism including ceramide in skin of psoriasis patients by DNA microarray analysis. The expression level of PNPLA1 gene involved in acylceramide synthesis which is epidermis-specific ceramide species essential for skin barrier function was decreased in psoriatic skin. In contrast, the expression level of lipid metabolism-related enzymes gene including ceramide were increased in psoriatic skin. Consequently, the acylceramide synthesis was decreased in skin of psoriasis patients, suggesting that increased biosynthesis of other sphingolipids to supplement the function of acylceramide may cause the pathology of psoriasis.

Project description:Here we elucidate the molecular mechanism of tofacitinib, an oral Janus kinase inhibitor, in psoriasis. Tofacitinib exhibits a multi-tiered action, with early direct effects on keratinocytes and histological and transcriptomic improvement prior to IL-17 reduction. Twelve patients with plaque psoriasis were randomized (3:1) to receive tofacitinib 10Â mg or placebo twice daily for 12 weeks. Biopsies were taken from lesional and nonâlesional skin at baseline, and from lesional skin on Day 1, Day 3, and Weeks 1, 2, 4 and 12. Biopsies were examined for psoriatic epidermal features (thickness; Ki67+ keratinocytes, keratin 16 [KRT16] mRNA expression; phosphoSTAT [pSTAT] + nuclei) and T-cell and dendritic cell (DC) subsets using immunohistochemistry. mRNA transcripts were quantified by microarray.

Project description:We report the high-throughput profiling of human primary keratinocytes transfected with either miR-378 mimic or miR-378 inhibitor at 24 or 48 hours. Our study focused on the dysregulation of microRNAs that might partially be a fundamental mechanism leading to psoriasis development. We knock-in and knock-out a specific miR-378 and see the cellular responses. As expected, overexpression of miR-378a inhibited the proliferation, enhanced the apoptosis and disturbed the cell cycle. Regarding to the confirm experiment, our results suggested that the expression of miR-378a associated with the psoriasis pathogenesis enhancing the severity of psoriatic lesion, and might useful for further development of therapeutic strategy for psoriasis.

Project description:Psoriasis is a common and chronic inflammatory skin disease complicated by genetic-environmental interactions. Although genomic, transcriptomic and proteomic analyses have been performed to investigate the pathogenesis of psoriasis, the role of metabolites in psoriasis, particularly of lipids, remains unclear. Lipids not only comprise the bulk of the cellular membrane bilayers but also regulate a variety of biological processes, such as cell proliferation, apoptosis, immunity, angiogenesis and inflammation. In this study, an untargeted lipidomics approach was used to study the lipid profiles in psoriasis and identify lipid metabolite signatures for psoriasis through ultra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry. Plasma samples from 90 participants (45 healthy and 45 psoriasis patients) were collected and detected. Statistical analysis was applied to find different features between the disease and control groups. In addition, ELISA was performed to examine differentially-expressed lipids in psoriatic patient plasma. We finally identified several differential expression lipids including LPAs, LysoPCs, PIs, PCs and PAs, among these metabolites, LPAs, LysoPCs and PAs were significantly increased, while PCs and PIs were down-regulated in psoriasis group. We found that elements of the glycerophospholipid metabolism, such as LPAs, LysoPCs, PAs, PIs, and PCs, were significantly altered in the plasma of psoriatic patients. This investigation characterizes the circulating lipids in psoriatic patients and provides novel insights into the pathogenesis of psoriasis.

Project description:Crosstalk between keratin-forming cells and aberrant immune cells due to immune imbalance is a key factor in the pathogenesis of psoriasis. Most of the current clinical treatments provide rapid symptomatic relief but bring side effects that should not be ignored. Tetrastigma hemsleyanum polysaccharides (THP) have significant immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory properties. In this study, we used imiquimod (IMQ)-induced psoriasis mouse model and LPS/IL-6-stimulated HaCaT cell model. The potential and mechanism of action of THP for psoriasis treatment were assessed by Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI) score, histopathology, flow cytometry, Western blot, and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. The signs and symptoms of psoriatic mice induced by IMQ were significantly relieved by percutaneous administration of THP, including the improvement of psoriatic skin signs (erythema, folds, scales), pathological changes, decreased PASI score, and decreased spleen index. Results of in vivo and in vitro studies suggest that THP inhibits abnormal cell proliferation and excessive inflammation at skin lesions, balances Th17 immune cells, and blocks the keratinocyte-Th17 cell cycle, thus playing a role in psoriasis treatment by a mechanism that may be related to the regulation of the JAK/STAT3 signaling pathway.

Project description:Psoriasis is a common inflammatory skin disease with complex etiology and chronic progression. To provide novel insights into the molecular mechanisms of regulation of the disease we performed RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) analysis of fourteen pairs of skin samples collected from psoriatic patients with consequent pathway analysis and identification of the main transcriptional regulators of psoriasis-associated pathways. In order to identify the most important regulators of the disease, we combined the results obtained with MetaCore Interactome enrichment tool and cisExpress algorithm and compared them to regulatory psoriasis response elements found in literature. Comparative approach allowed us to identify 42 core transcriptional regulators of the disease associated with inflammation (NFkB, IRF9, JUN, FOS, SRF), activity of T-cells in the psoriatic lesions (STAT6, FOXP3, NFATC2, GATA3, TCF7, RUNX1, etc.), hyper-proliferation and migration of keratinocytes (JUN, FOS, NFIB, TFAP2A, TFAP2C), and with lipid metabolism (TFAP2, RARA, VDR). We also identified 66 transcription factors not previously associated with psoriasis. Using MetaCore pathway maps we illustrated and described the molecular basis of psoriatic skin lesions.

Project description:The study focuses on the cellular composition of the psoriasis epidermis, using single-cell transcriptomics to identify cell subsets and their interactions in both healthy and psoriatic skin. The research uncovers three keratinocyte populations and seven immune cell subsets exclusive to psoriatic lesions. A significant finding is the identification of a previously undetected population of plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) in the psoriatic epidermis, suggesting their role in the disease's pathogenesis. The study also highlights enhanced keratinocyte-immune cell interactions in psoriatic lesions, contributing to our understanding of psoriasis at the cellular level.

Project description:Herein we demonstrate the efficacy of an unbiased proteomics screening approach for studying protein expression changes in the KC-Tie2 psoriasis mouse model, identifying multiple protein expression changes in the mouse and validating these changes in human psoriasis. KC-Tie2 mouse skin samples (n=3) were compared with littermate controls (n=3) using gel-based fractionation followed by label-free protein expression analysis. 5482 peptides mapping to 1281 proteins were identified and quantitated: 105 proteins exhibited fold-changes ≥2.0 including: stefin A1 (average fold change of 342.4 and an average P = 0.0082; cystatin A, human orthologue); slc25a5 (average fold change of 46.2 and an average P = 0.0318); serpinb3b (average fold change of 35.6 and an average P = 0.0345; serpinB1, human orthologue); and kallikrein related peptidase 6 (average fold change of 4.7 and an average P = 0.2474; KLK6). We independently confirmed mouse gene expression-based increases of selected genes including serpinb3b (17.4-fold, P < 0.0001), KLK6 (9.0-fold, P = 0.002), stefin A1 (7.3-fold; P < 0.001) and slc25A5 (1.5-fold; P = 0.05) using qRT-PCR on a second cohort of animals (n=8). Parallel LC/MS/MS analyses on these same samples verified protein-level increases of 1.3-fold (slc25a5; P < 0.05), 29,000-fold (stefinA1; P < 0.01), 322-fold (KLK6; P < 0.0001) between KC-Tie2 and control mice. To underscore the utility and translatability of our combined approach, we analyzed gene and protein expression levels in psoriasis patient skin and primary keratinocytes vs. healthy controls. Increases in gene expression for slc25a5 (1.8-fold), cystatin A (3.0-fold), KLK6 (5.8-fold) and serpinB1 (76-fold; all P < 0.05) were observed between healthy controls and involved lesional psoriasis skin and primary psoriasis keratinocytes. Moreover slc25a5, cystatin A, KLK6 and serpinB1 protein were all increased in lesional psoriasis skin compared to normal skin. These results highlight the usefulness of preclinical disease models using readily-available mouse skin and demonstrate the utility of proteomic approaches for identifying novel peptides/proteins that are differentially regulated in psoriasis that could serve as sources of auto-antigens or provide novel therapeutic targets for the development of new anti-psoriatic treatments.
