Abstract
BACKGROUND Psoriasis is a common chronic inflammatory disease with an unclear aetiology. Keratinocytes in psoriasis are susceptible to exogenous triggers that induce inflammatory cell death. OBJECTIVES To investigate whether gasdermin E (GSDME)-mediated pyroptosis in keratinocytes contributes to the pathogenesis of psoriasis. METHODS Skin samples from patients with psoriasis and from healthy controls were collected to evaluate the expression of GSDME, cleaved caspase-3 and inflammatory factors. We then analysed the data series GSE41662 to further compare the expression of GSDME between lesional and nonlesional skin samples in those with psoriasis. In vivo, a caspase-3 inhibitor and GSDME-deficient mice (Gsdme-/-) were used to block caspase-3/GSDME activation in an imiquimod-induced psoriasis model. Skin inflammation, disease severity and pyroptosis-related proteins were analysed. In vitro, tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α-induced caspase-3/GSDME-mediated pyroptosis in the HACAT cell line was explored. RESULTS Our analysis of the GSE41662 data series found that GSDME was upregulated in psoriasis lesions vs. normal skin. High levels of inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α were also found in psoriasis lesions. In mice in the Gsdme-/- and caspase-3 inhibitor groups, the severity of skin inflammation was attenuated and GSDME and cleaved caspase-3 levels decreased after imiquimod treatment. Similarly, IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α expression was decreased in the Gsdme-/- and caspase-3 inhibitor groups. In vitro, TNF-α induced HACAT cell pyroptosis through caspase-3/GSDME pathway activation, which was suppressed by blocking caspase-3 or silencing Gsdme. CONCLUSIONS Our study provides a novel explanation of TNF-α/caspase-3/GSDME-mediated keratinocyte pyroptosis in the initiation and -acceleration of skin inflammation and the progression of psoriasis.

Electroacupuncture and methotrexate cooperate to ameliorate psoriasiform skin inflammation by regulating the immune balance of Th17/Treg. Int Immunopharmacol 2024; 140:112702. [PMID: 39094355 DOI: 10.1016/j.intimp.2024.112702] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/26/2023] [Revised: 06/02/2024] [Accepted: 07/14/2024] [Indexed: 08/04/2024]
Abstract
Psoriasis is an autoinflammatory dermatosis, while methotrexate (MTX) is an immunosuppressant used to treat psoriasis. However, conventional immunosuppressants may cause various side effects. Acupuncture has potential benefits in treating psoriasis based on its anti-inflammatory effects. However, the immune mechanisms underlying its effects remain unclear. In this study, imiquimod-induced psoriatic mice were used to investigate the effects and mechanisms of electroacupuncture (EA) and, in particular, its joint treatment with MTX. We found that treatment with either EA or MTX ameliorated psoriasiform skin lesions, improved skin pathology and reduced proinflammatory cytokines in the skin, while joint treatment with both EA and MTX further alleviated the skin lesions and inflammation compared to either one alone. Moreover, percentages of CD4+ IL-17A+ Th17 cells in the skin and lymph nodes were decreased by EA or MTX and further lowered by combined EA+MTX treatment. Similarly, EA or MTX also reduced their RORγt expression. On the contrary, CD4+ FoxP3+ Treg frequency in psoriatic mice was augmented by EA or MTX and further increased by the joint treatment. However, depleting Tregs mostly reversed the therapeutic effects of EA or EA plus MTX. Additionally, the phosphorylated NF-κB (p65) expression was suppressed by treatment with EA, MTX or better with EA+MTX. Meanwhile, the anti-inflammatory effects of EA plus MTX were offset by an NF-κB agonist. Thus, this study has revealed that EA cooperates with MTX to balance Th17/Treg responses and to ameliorate psoriasiform skin inflammation through suppressing NF-κB activation. Our findings may be implicated for treating human psoriasis.

Metabolic Syndrome and Psoriasis: Pivotal Roles of Chronic Inflammation and Gut Microbiota. Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:8098.

Abstract
In recent years, the incidence of metabolic syndrome (MS) has increased due to lifestyle-related factors in developed countries. MS represents a group of conditions that increase the risk of diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and other severe health problems. Low-grade chronic inflammation is now considered one of the key aspects of MS and could be defined as a new cardiovascular risk factor. Indeed, an increase in visceral adipose tissue, typical of obesity, contributes to the development of an inflammatory state, which, in turn, induces the production of several proinflammatory cytokines responsible for insulin resistance. Psoriasis is a chronic relapsing inflammatory skin disease and is characterized by the increased release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, which can contribute to different pathological conditions within the spectrum of MS. A link between metabolic disorders and Psoriasis has emerged from evidence indicating that weight loss obtained through healthy diets and exercise was able to improve the clinical course and therapeutic response of Psoriasis in patients with obesity or overweight patients and even prevent its occurrence. A key factor in this balance is the gut microbiota; it is an extremely dynamic system, and this makes its manipulation through diet possible via probiotic, prebiotic, and symbiotic compounds. Given this, the gut microbiota represents an additional therapeutic target that can improve metabolism in different clinical conditions.

Abstract
Background Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease. EDP1815 is an oral, gut-restricted preparation of non-live Prevotella histicola, the first of a new immunomodulatory therapeutic class targeting the small intestine to generate systemic anti-inflammatory responses. Objective To evaluate safety and efficacy of EDP1815 in mild-to-moderate psoriasis in a proof-of-concept study. Methods A phase 2, multicenter, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study with a 16-week treatment period and up to 24 weeks of follow-up. Participants were randomized to receive 1, 4, or 10 capsules daily. Results EDP1815 was well tolerated with comparable rates of treatment-emergent adverse events to placebo, and no drug-related serious adverse events. Clinically meaningful responses to EDP1815, defined as at least 50% reduction in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI-50) at week 16, were observed in all 3 cohorts, statistically significant in the 1-capsule (29.7%; P = 0.048) and 4-capsule (31.9%; P = 0.022) groups, compared with placebo (12.1%). Among EDP1815-treated PASI-50 responders at week 16, 60% (18/30) maintained or improved off-treatment responses at week 40. Limitations Continued off-treatment improvement past 16 weeks shows potential for greater therapeutic benefit that was not assessed. Conclusion EDP1815 was well-tolerated with a placebo-like safety profile, and had meaningful efficacy outcomes in psoriasis, validating this novel immunomodulatory approach.

Abstract
Background: The care of psoriatic patients requires a multidisciplinary approach that addresses not only skin involvement but also cardiovascular risk factors. Coordination between dermatology and internal medicine departments, with a specific focus on treatment and long-term follow-up, can substantially improve the course of a disease and its associated complications. Objective: to evaluate the effects of the holistic management of patients with psoriasis by a multidisciplinary team consisting of dermatology and internal medicine specialists. Methods: We conducted an observational, prospective, single-center case-control study between October 2016 and December 2019 in San Jorge University Hospital (Huesca, Spain). Cases included patients undergoing follow-up in the combined dermatology and internal medicine clinic. The control group consisted of an equivalent number of randomly selected, age- and sex-matched patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis who were seen in the general dermatology department of the same hospital during the same time period. Main outcomes and measures: The primary outcome was the control of psoriatic disease and cardiovascular risk factors such as weight, blood pressure, waist circumference, body mass index (BMI), SCORE index (Systematic Coronary Risk Evaluation), and blood test parameters, as well as diet, physical exercise, and habits such as tobacco and alcohol consumption. To compare data collected over time, data were grouped into three time periods: baseline (t1), intermediate (t2), and final (t3). Results: The case group consisted of 27 patients, and the control group consisted of 25 patients. Multivariate analysis was used to evaluate the relationship between the 10-year risk of experiencing a cardiovascular event (SCORE) and the clinical characteristics and analytical variables of patients with psoriasis and controls (n = 52). The variables that were significantly associated with a higher 10-year risk of experiencing a cardiovascular event were age (OR, 1.33; CI95% 1.21-1.50; p < 0.001); smoking (OR, 5.05, CI95% 1.07-27.37; p = 0.047); PASI (OR, 7.98, CI95% 2.32-35.86; p = 0.003); BSA (OR, 1.22, CI95% 1.01-1.49; p = 0.044); and being a control patient (OR, 3.26; CI95% 0.84-13.56; p = 0.029). Conclusions: Pharmacological and behavioral interventions carried out as part of the procedure of the multidisciplinary clinic resulted in improvements in the following variables relative to the control group: PASI, BSA, DLQI, PSOLIFE, lipid profile, insulin and HOMA-IR GGT levels, vitamin D levels, and SCORE. These findings indicate the beneficial effect of the multidisciplinary clinic, which reduced the risk of cardiovascular events in psoriatic patients with metabolic comorbidities.

A BET inhibitor, NHWD-870, can downregulate dendritic cells maturation via the IRF7-mediated signaling pathway to ameliorate imiquimod-induced psoriasis-like murine skin inflammation. Eur J Pharmacol 2024; 968:176382. [PMID: 38311277 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejphar.2024.176382] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/17/2023] [Revised: 01/24/2024] [Accepted: 02/01/2024] [Indexed: 02/10/2024]
Abstract
Psoriasis is a chronic, recurrent, inflammatory dermatosis accompanied by excessive activation of dendritic cells (DCs), which are primarily responsible for initiating an immune response. The bromodomain and extraterminal domain (BET) family plays a pivotal role in the transcriptional regulation of inflammation and its inhibitors can downregulate DCs maturation and activation. Here we investigated the effect of NHWD-870, a potent BET inhibitor, on inflammation in an imiquimod (IMQ)-induced psoriasis-like mouse model and murine bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (BMDCs) stimulated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and IMQ. Application of NHWD-870 significantly ameliorated IMQ-triggered skin inflammation in mice, and markers associated with DC maturation (CD40, CD80 and CD86) were decreased in skin lesions, spleen and lymph nodes. Additionally, NHWD-870 reduced LPS or IMQ induced DCs maturation and activation in vitro, with lower expression of inflammatory cytokines [interleukin (IL)-12, IL-23, tumor necrosis factor-α, IL-6, IL-1β, chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand (CXCL)9 and CXCL10]. In addition, we found that interferon regulatory factor 7 (IRF7) significantly increased during DCs maturation, and inhibition of IRF7 could impair BMDCs maturation and activation. What's more, IRF7 was highly expressed in both psoriatic patients and IMQ-induced psoriasis-like mice. Single-cell RNA sequencing of normal and psoriatic skin demonstrated that IRF7 expression was increased in DCs of psoriatic skin. While NHWD-870 could inhibit IRF7 and phosphorylated-IRF7 expression in vivo and in vitro. These results indicate that NHWD-870 suppresses the maturation and activation of DCs by decreasing IRF7 proteins which finally alleviates psoriasis-like skin lesions, and NHWD-870 may be a potent therapeutic drug for psoriasis.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION TYK2 inhibitors and traditional natural drugs as promising drugs for psoriasis therapy are receiving increasing attention. They both affect different molecules of JAK/STAT pathway, but it is currently unclear whether their combination will enhance the effect on psoriasis. In this study, we used imiquimod (IMQ)-induced psoriasis mouse model to investigate the therapeutic effects of the combined administration of deucravacitinib (TYK2 inhibitor) and shikonin. METHODS Aldara cream containing 5% IMQ was used to topically treat the dorsal skin of each mouse for a total of six consecutive days to induce psoriasis. The psoriasis area and severity index (PASI) scores were recorded every day. On the 7th day, skin tissues were taken for histopathological examination and the content of cytokines in skin were evaluated. The frequency of immune cells in peripheral blood, spleen and skin were detected through flow cytometry. RESULTS Compared to the vehicle control group, the psoriasis symptoms and immune disorder improved significantly in the combination therapy group and deucravacitinib treatment group on the 7th day, and the expressions of p-STAT3 and Ki67 in skin were reduced as well. Moreover, the combined treatment of deucravacitinib and shikonin for psoriasis was superior to the monotherapy group, especially in inhibiting abnormal capillaries proliferation, reducing immune cells infiltration and decreasing the concentration of IL-12p70 in skin. CONCLUSION The combination of deucravacitinib and shikonin is a promising clinical application.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Several interleukin (IL)-17 inhibitors have been approved for the treatment of moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis (PsO). There is still scope for the development of affordable treatments for PsO. OBJECTIVES To assess, in a phase Ia study, the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics (PK) of HB0017, a humanized monoclonal antibody that targets IL-17A, in healthy participants and patients with moderate-to-severe plaque PsO; and, in a phase Ib study, to assess the efficacy of HB0017 in patients with moderate-to-severe plaque PsO. METHODS The phase Ia study (NCT04505033) was a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled dose-escalation study in healthy participants. Each cohort of 10 volunteers was randomly assigned to receive either a single dose of HB0017 (50 mg, 150 mg, 300 mg or 450 mg) or the matching placebo at a ratio of 4 : 1. The phase Ib study (NCT05442788) was a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled dose-escalation study in enrolled patients with moderate-to-severe plaque PsO. Each cohort of 10 patients was randomly assigned to receive either multiple doses of HB0017 (150 mg, 300 mg or 450 mg) or the matching placebo at a ratio of 4 : 1. RESULTS HB0017 demonstrated dose-proportional linear PK and was tolerated across the dose range assessed. In the phase Ia and Ib studies, participants in both the HB0017 and placebo groups experienced treatment-emergent adverse events (69% vs. 87%, 96% vs. 100%, respectively). HB0017 demonstrated clinically meaningful effects in patients with moderate-to-severe plaque PsO. PASI 75 [≥ 75% improvement in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI)], PASI 90 (≥ 90% improvement in PASI) and static Physician Global Assessment (sPGA) 0/1 (i.e. 'clear' or 'almost clear') responses were 100% for the HB0017 300-mg group, with maximal improvements (100% or near 100% reductions from baseline) in PASI score observed at week 12, while the duration of effect was evident up to week 20. There was no clinical response in any participant in the placebo group in the phase Ib study. CONCLUSIONS Overall, HB0017 showed acceptable safety and tolerability in both healthy participants and patients with moderate-to-severe plaque PsO. An encouraging signal of efficacy with a longer half-life provides HB0017 with the potential to be added to the currently available range of biologics targeting IL-17A.

Abstract
Objectives Despite extensive research, there is currently no specific biomarker that reliably and universally indicates treatment response in psoriasis. Multiple studies have evaluated systemic inflammation markers, including neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR), systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), and systemic immune response index (SIRI) in psoriasis patients. However, there are limited studies investigating changes in these markers with biologic therapy. The goal of this study was to investigate the impact of biologic therapy on parameters including NLR, PLR, MLR, SII, and SIRI in patients with psoriasis. Methods In this cohort study, we retrospectively evaluated 108 psoriasis patients who were on biological treatment, including interleukin (IL)17, IL23, and IL12/23 inhibitors, for a minimum of 12 weeks. We analyzed Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI) scores, complete blood count parameters, and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels both before and after 12 weeks of treatment. Results The NLR, PLR, MLR, SII, SIRI, and CRP values all demonstrated a significant decrease, regardless of the specific type of biologic agent (p=0.001, 0.007, 0.011, <0.001, <0.001 and <0.001, respectively). Furthermore, we observed a statistically significant but low correlation between the reduction in PASI scores and PLR, SII, and SIRI values (p=0.036, r=0.202; p=0.042, r=0.196; p=0.023, r=0.219, respectively). Conclusion The NLR, MLR, especially PLR, SII, and SIRI might be used as simple, convenient, and inexpensive laboratory markers to monitor the degree of inflammation and response to treatment after biologic therapy in daily practice.

Abstract
Psoriasis and diabetes are both common comorbidities for each other, where inflammation and insulin resistance act in a vicious cycle, driving the progression of disease through the activation of the NF-κB signaling pathway. Therefore, disrupting the linkage between inflammation and insulin resistance by inhibiting the NF-κB pathway presents a promising therapeutic strategy for addressing psoriasis-diabetic comorbidity. Herein, an open-loop therapy was developed by integrating microneedle-mediated short- and long-range missiles to target psoriasis and diabetes, respectively. The short-range missile (curcumin nanoparticle) could be stationed in the psoriatic skin for topical and prolonged antipsoriasis therapy, while the long-range missile (metformin) is capable of penetrating transdermal barriers to induce a systemic hypoglycemic effect. More attractively, the short- and long-range missiles could join hands to inhibit the NF-κB signaling pathway and diminish inflammation, effectively disrupting the crosstalk between inflammation and insulin resistance. Pharmacodynamic studies showed that this microneedle-mediated combination, possessing dual anti-inflammatory and antihyperglycemic properties, proves to be highly efficacious in alleviating typical symptoms and inflammatory response in both nondiabetic and diabetic mice with imiquimod (IMQ)-induced psoriasis models. Hence, the microneedle-mediated open-loop therapy shows great potential in the management of psoriasis-diabetes comorbidity.

Abstract
Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune pathological condition characterized by hyperactivation of proinflammatory cytokines (IL-6, TNF-α, IL-17, IL-23, etc.). Severe drug-associated toxicities like hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity (Methotrexate), teratogenicity (Tazarotene), hypercholesterolemia (Cyclosporine) and hypercalcemia (tacalcitol), are the forefront challenges that demand an alternative approach for the treatment of psoriasis. In the present study, a natural lead molecule 'Betulin' (BE, lup-20(29)-ene-3b,28-diol) was isolated from Betula utilis and subsequently, structure-based molecular docking was employed to identify the molecular target for psoriasis. The computational analysis reflects better affinity of BE towards pro-inflammatory cytokine as compared to standard drugs. Apart from this BE shows a greater affinity towards the overexpressed Glut-1 receptor in comparison to standard drug Metformin (Met). Based on the in silico screening the isolated lead compound was further processed for the evaluation of anti-psoriatic activity via imiquimod (IMQ 5%) induced psoriasis-like skin inflammation model. In vivo screening models were characterized by different parameters (psoriasis area and severity index (PASI) scores, macroscopically and behavioral evaluation, splenomegaly, cytokine levels and histological changes) and compared among the experimental groups. The experimental finding reflects comparable results of PASI score, i.e., 57.14% and 61.9% recovery of test BE-solution (180 mg/kg) and standard Betamethasone di-propionate ointment (BD-oint.0.5 mg/g), respectively. Focusing on other parameters, BE shows relative results such as an enhanced macroscopically with behavioral conditions, reducing the expression of proinflammatory cytokine as well as restoring histological changes with that of BD. These findings suggest that BE-isolated phytoconstituents from Betula utilis could be a potential agent and a step closer to psoriasis treatment. HIGHLIGHTPsoriasis is a multifaceted, immunologically mediated disease consequences production of high levels of proinflammatory mediators and overexpression of Glut-1 transporters that trigger keratinocyte proliferation and inflammatory cascades.A Himalayan silver birch, Betula utilis (Bhojpatra) contains many steroidal terpenes which are responsible for various pharmacological activities that could be exploited in drug development in psoriasis.The computational analysis of BE reflects a better affinity toward the proinflammatory cytokines with their target receptors and indicates a satisfactory range with a slight deviation from Jorgensen and Lipinski's rule and possesses a significant drug choice for psoriasis.Preclinical findings of BE-solution (BE-sol) give a positive response towards IMQ-induced psoriasis-like skin inflammation model.[Figure: see text]Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Abstract
Apremilast (APM) is a novel drug for the treatment of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. APM is a phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) inhibitor, raising intracellular cAMP levels and thereby decreasing the inflammatory response by modulating the expression of TNF-α, IL-17, IL-23, and other inflammatory cytokines. The goal of this study is to develop APM gels as a new pharmaceutical formulation for the treatment of topical psoriasis. APM was solubilized in Transcutol-P and incorporated into Pluronic F127, Sepigel, and carbomer bases at different proportions. All formulations were characterized physiochemically. A biopharmaceutical study (release profile) was performed, and ex vivo permeation was evaluated using a human skin model. A toxicity assay was carried out on the HaCaT cell line. A mouse model of imiquimod-induced psoriasis skin inflammation was carried out to determine its efficacy by histological analysis, RNA extraction, and RT-qPCR assays. APM gel formulations showed good physicochemical characteristics and a sustained release profile. There was no permeation of any gel measured through human skin, indicating a high retained amount of APM on the skin. Cell viability was greater than 80% at most dilution concentrations. APM gels treated the psoriasis mouse model, and it shows a reduction in the proinflammatory cytokines (IL-8, IL-17A, IL-17F, and IL-23). APM gels could be a new approach for the treatment of topical psoriasis.

[PMID: 37631384 PMCID: PMC10458821 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics15082171] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/21/2023] [Revised: 08/04/2023] [Accepted: 08/08/2023] [Indexed: 08/27/2023] Open
Abstract
Psoriasis is a chronic, inflammatory, multisystemic disease which affects approximately 2-3% of the population globally, whose onset is triggered by genetic and environmental factors which activate both dendritic cells and keratinocytes, resulting in the production of proinflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor alpha, interleukin 17, interleukin 23, interleukin 22, and interleukin 1β. An in-depth understanding of the pathophysiology of psoriasis led to significant advances in the development of safe and efficient novel therapeutic options, with four classes of biologic therapy being approved for the management of moderate to severe psoriasis: tumor necrosis factor alpha inhibitors, interleukin 23 inhibitors, anti-interleukin 12/23 agents, anti-interleukin 17 agents, as well as small-molecule inhibitors, such as apremilast. Psoriasis is associated with comorbid conditions, namely psoriatic arthritis, cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, psychiatric disorders, malignancy, as well as inflammatory bowel disease. For patients affected by both psoriasis and inflammatory bowel disease, there is a strong recommendation to avoid IL-17 inhibitors since they may play a part in the exacerbation of the gastrointestinal disease. Our aim was to perform a thorough literature review regarding the development of inflammatory bowel disease lesions in psoriasis patients treated with IL-17 inhibitors, along with a case presentation to emphasize the need for close follow-up of these patients.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "blood fever" is an important cause of psoriasis. Fufang Shengdi mixture (FFSD), based on the Hongban Decoction, is composed of Rehmannia glutinosa (Gaertn.) DC., Raw gypsum (Chinese: Sheng Shi Gao), and Lonicera japonica Thunb (Caprifoliaceae). FFSD has effects on nourishing Yin, clearing heat, connecting collaterals, and cooling blood. In modern medical explanation, FFSD has the effects of anti-inflammatory and immunosuppression. Our study proved that FFSD can suppress immunity and ameliorate the symptoms of imiquimod-induced psoriasis in mice. AIM OF THE STUDY This study evaluated the efficacy and possible mechanism of FFSD in psoriasis mice. METHODS AND MATERIALS First, the main components of FFSD were analyzed using high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem high-resolution mass spectrometry (HPLC-HRMS). An imiquimod (IMQ)-induced psoriasis mouse model was used to evaluate the efficacy of FFSD orally. Psoriasis area and severity index (PASI) scores were recorded throughout the course of the mice to reflect the severity of psoriasis. Hematoxylin-eosin staining was used to observe the pathological changes in skin lesions. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was performed to test the level of IFN-γ and TNF-α in plasma. To further investigate the immunopharmacological effect of FFSD, we used chicken ovalbumin (OVA) to induce immunoreaction in mice. ELISA was used to detect the levels of anti-OVA antibody, IFN-γ and TNF-α in mice. Flow cytometry was performed to quantify the ratio of cell types in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) to evaluate the effect of FFSD on immunosuppression. Proteomics and bioinformatics analyzes were performed to find the regulation pathway of the immunosuppressive effect of FFSD. Finally, quantitative PCR (qPCR) and immunohistochemistry were used to measure the upregulation of Annexin-A proteins (ANXAs) in the skin lesion tissue of IMQ-induced mouse. RESULTS On the basis of knowing the composition of FFSD, we first proved the efficacy of FFSD in alleviating IMQ-induced psoriasis in mice. Second, we further clarified the pharmacological effect of FFSD on immunosuppression via OVA-induced mice. Subsequently, it was found that the significant up-regulation of ANXAs was caused by FFSD through proteomics analysis, and the finding was proved in the IMQ-induced psoriasis mouse model. CONCLUSIONS This study elucidates the immunosuppressive pharmacological effect of FFSD on improving psoriasis through up-regulating ANXAs.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease associated with synovial proliferation and bone erosion, which leads to the structural and functional impairment of the joints. Immune cells, together with synoviocytes, induce a pro-inflammatory environment and novel treatment agents target inflammatory cytokines. Psoriasis is a chronic immune-mediated skin disease, and several cytokines are considered as typical mediators in the progression of the disease, including IL-23, IL-22, and IL-17, among others. AREA COVERED In this review, we try to evaluate whether cyclin-dependent kinases (CDK), enzymes that regulate cell cycle and transcription of various genes, could become novel therapeutic targets in RA and psoriasis. We present the main results of in vitro and in vivo studies, as well as scarce clinical reports. EXPERT OPINION CDK inhibitors seem promising for treating RA and psoriasis because of their multidirectional effects. CDK inhibitors may affect not only the process of osteoclastogenesis, thereby reducing joint destruction in RA, but also the process of apoptosis of neutrophils and macrophages responsible for the development of inflammation in both RA and psoriasis. However, assessing the efficacy of these drugs in clinical practice requires multi-center, long-term clinical trials evaluating the effectiveness and safety of CDK-blocking therapy in RA and psoriasis.

Abstract
The advent of immunotherapy and targeted therapies in treating dermatological malignancies has dramatically changed the landscape of dermato-oncology in recent years. Their superior efficacy compared to previous therapeutic options, such as chemotherapy, has resulted in their use in treating devastating malignancies, such as melanoma or unresectable/metastatic basal cell and squamous cell carcinoma. Skin toxicity is a critical safety consideration, among other adverse reactions, that can occur under treatment with these agents. This article aims to summarize the cutaneous side effects of immune checkpoint inhibitors and targeted dermato-oncological therapies. Although the skin side effects of these agents are primarily mild, they can occasionally affect the decision for treatment continuation and the quality of life of the affected patients. Therefore, physicians must be acquainted with the specific cutaneous toxicity profile of such treatments to mitigate their impact on the patients and optimize the overall outcome of dermato-oncological therapy.

Abstract
Psoriasis is a systemic inflammatory disease that associates with multiple comorbidities. It involves complex interactions between environmental factors and polygenic predisposition. The IL-17 family is one of the main actors in the pathogenesis of psoriasis. Secondary nonresponse is common, especially during the long-term use of TNF-α inhibitors, but it is not uncommon even for newer biologics, such as IL-17 inhibitors. Identification of clinically useful biomarkers of treatment efficacy and safety would enable optimal treatment selection, improve patient quality of life and outcome, and reduce healthcare costs. To our knowledge, this is the first study to evaluate the relationship between genetic polymorphism of IL-17F (rs763780) and IL-17RA (rs4819554) and response to biological treatment and other clinical data in bio-naive and secondary non-responders psoriasis patients in Romania and Southeastern Europe. We performed a prospective, longitudinal, analytical cohort study of 81 patients diagnosed with moderate-to-severe chronic plaque psoriasis who received biological treatments for the first time. Of the 79 patients treated with TNF-α inhibitors, 44 experienced secondary nonresponse. All patients were genotyped for the two SNPs in IL-17F and IL-17RA genes. The rs763780 polymorphism in the IL-17F gene could be an attractive candidate biomarker for predicting which patients will respond to anti-TNF-α therapies. Another emergent association of rs4819554 in IL-17RA with the risk of nail psoriasis and a higher BMI in moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis patients is described.

Abstract
Introduction EDP1815 is a non-colonizing pharmaceutical preparation of a single stain of Prevotella histicola isolated from the duodenum of a human donor. We report here preclinical and clinical studies showing that the action of EDP1815, an orally delivered and gut restricted single strain of commensal bacteria can regulate inflammatory responses throughout the body. Methods Supported by evidence for anti-inflammatory activity in three preclinical mouse models of Th1-, TH2-, and Th17-mediated inflammation, EDP1815 was tested clinically in three Phase 1b studies in patients with psoriasis, patients with atopic dermatitis, and healthy volunteers in a KLH skin challenge model. Results Preclinically, EDP1815 was efficacious in all three mouse models of inflammation, showing reduction in skin inflammation as well as related tissue cytokines. In the Phase 1b studies, EDP1815 was found to be well tolerated by participants, with a safety profile comparable to placebo, including no severe or consistent side-effects reported, and no evidence of immunosuppression with no opportunistic infection occurring in these studies. In psoriasis patients, signs of clinical efficacy were seen after 4 weeks of treatment, which continued beyond the treatment period in the higher-dose cohort. In atopic dermatitis patients, improvements were seen throughout the key physician-and patient-reported outcomes. In a healthy-volunteer study of a KLH-induced skin inflammatory response, consistent anti-inflammatory effects were seen in two cohorts through imaging-based measures of skin inflammation. Discussion This is the first report demonstrating clinical effects from targeting peripheral inflammation with a non-colonizing gut-restricted single strain of commensal bacteria, providing proof of concept for a new class of medicines. These clinical effects occur without systemic exposure of EDP1815 or modification of the resident gut microbiota, and with placebo-like safety and tolerability. The breadth of these clinical effects of EDP1815, combined with its excellent safety and tolerability profile and oral administration, suggests the potential for a new type of effective, safe, oral, and accessible anti-inflammatory medicine to treat the wide range of diseases driven by inflammation.Clinical Trial Registration: EudraCT # 2018-002807-32; EudraCT # 2018-002807-32; NL8676; https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03733353; http://www.trialregister.nl.

Abstract
Local and systemic treatments exist for psoriasis, but none can do more than control its symptoms because of its numerous unknown mechanisms. The lack of validated testing models or a defined psoriatic phenotypic profile hinders antipsoriatic drug development. Despite their intricacy, immune-mediated diseases have no improved and precise treatment. The treatment actions may now be predicted for psoriasis and other chronic hyperproliferative skin illnesses using animal models. Their findings confirmed that a psoriasis animal model could mimic a few disease conditions. However, their ethical approval concerns and inability to resemble human psoriasis rightly offer to look for more alternatives. Hence, in this article, we have reported various cutting-edge techniques for the preclinical testing of pharmaceutical products for the treatment of psoriasis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND As a common skin disease, psoriasis is related to inflammation and immune response. Due to the frequent recurrence of psoriasis, the treatment of psoriasis remains a clinical challenge. As an effective tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) inhibitor, etanercept has been used for the treatment of psoriasis. However, some patients with psoriasis have no response to etanercept or discontinue treatment. To improve the therapeutic effect of etanercept, searching the potential biomarkers and investigating the related mechanisms of etanercept in the treatment of psoriasis are vital. MATERIALS AND METHODS We stimulated HaCaT cells with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to generate cellular psoriatic changes and established an imiquimod (IMQ)-induced psoriasis-like mouse model, and then used an etanercept to treat cell and mouse model. RESULTS Etanercept alleviated IMQ-induced pathological changes and inflammation, and it also decreased the protein expression of high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), receptor for advanced glycation end-products, and toll-like receptor 4. Moreover, the results of in vitro experiments showed that etanercept inhibited proliferation and inflammation, and promoted cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in LPS-treated HaCaT cells. Knockdown of HMGB1 further enhanced the inhibitory effects of etanercept on LPS-treated HaCaT cell viability and inflammation, while overexpression of HMGB1 notably reversed the inhibitory effects of etanercept on LPS-induced HaCaT cell viability and inflammation. CONCLUSION Etanercept inhibited proliferation and inflammation and promoted cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in LPS-induced HaCaT cells, and etanercept ameliorated inflammation in a psoriasis-like mouse model.

Abstract
Psoriasis is an immune-mediated inflammatory systemic disease with skin tropism and chronic relapsing course; it is associated with an increased cardiovascular risk and with many metabolic comorbidities, emerging during childhood in 22–33% of cases. Diet influences the presentation and the clinical course of inflammatory diseases, including psoriasis; in particular, it was shown that a Mediterranean, gluten-free, or low-calorie diet may positively affect disease control in adult patients with psoriasis and adequate pharmacological therapy. These three dietary regimens may play a role also in children with psoriasis. It has been demonstrated that pediatric psoriasis is associated with psychological stress, celiac disease, and obesity, which may be positively influenced by these dietary regimens, respectively. Therefore, the expertise of multiple health figures (gastroenterologists, nutritionists, pediatricians, dermatologists) is required to plan a tailor-made dietary strategy, ensuring good growth, through an adequate intake of essential micro- and macronutrients and, at the same time, impacting the pro-inflammatory biochemical profile and on the associated cardiovascular risk of psoriasis disease.

More than 10 disease-modifying therapies (DMT) are approved by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS) and new therapeutic options are on the horizon. Due to different underlying therapeutic mechanisms, a more individualized selection of DMTs in MS is possible, taking into account the patient's current situation. Therefore, concomitant treatment of various comorbid conditions, including autoimmune mediated disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis, should be considered in MS patients. Because the pathomechanisms of autoimmunity partially overlap, DMT could also treat concomitant inflammatory diseases and simplify the patient's treatment. In contrast, the exacerbation and even new occurrence of several autoimmune diseases have been reported as a result of immunomodulatory treatment of MS. To simplify treatment and avoid disease exacerbation, knowledge of the beneficial and adverse effects of DMT in other autoimmune disorders is critical. Therefore, we conducted a literature search and described the beneficial and adverse effects of approved and currently studied DMT in a large number of comorbid autoimmune diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, inflammatory bowel diseases, cutaneous disorders including psoriasis, Sjögren´s syndrome, systemic lupus erythematosus, systemic vasculitis, autoimmune hepatitis, and ocular autoimmune disorders. Our review aims to facilitate the selection of an appropriate DMT in patients with MS and comorbid autoimmune diseases.

LIFE (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 12:life12122026. [PMID: 36556392 PMCID: PMC9782020 DOI: 10.3390/life12122026] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/18/2022] [Revised: 11/23/2022] [Accepted: 12/01/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
Psoriasis (PSO) and Atopic dermatitis (AD) are common inflammatory skin diseases that affect people of all ages globally. They negatively impact the quality of life (QoL) of patients in health-related aspects such as physical, psychological and mental functioning. Here, we conducted a review of studies relating to candidate biomarkers and indicators associated with QoL impairment in PSO and AD. Data research was performed using PUBMED and SCOPUS databases from inception to September 2022. Most of the included studies reported genomic or proteomic biomarkers associated with disease activity and QoL outcomes. Sociodemographic, clinical and therapeutic factors have also been implicated in deterioration of life quality in these patients. The inclusion of clinical characteristics, QoL impairment and co-diagnosis should be considered in drug development programs, since processing biomarkers based on an increased number of features in addition to drug class and disease will intensify the value of the biomarker itself, thereby maximizing the future clinical utility as a stratification tool.

Abstract
Secukinumab demonstrated high efficacy and favorable safety profile in patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis (PsO) in clinical trials. However, understanding of patient characteristics and clinical outcomes in real world in Thailand is still limited. To describe patient characteristics, effectiveness and safety of secukinumab in Thai PsO patients. This retrospective study analyzed data from medical records of adult PsO patients who initiated secukinumab at 7 dermatology centers from September 2017 to April 2021. Study outcomes included patient characteristics and changes in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) score from baseline at weeks 4 and 16 after secukinumab initiation. Adverse events were recorded. Subgroup analyses by adherence rate and completeness of loading dose were performed. Of 163 patients, the mean (SD) age was 44.0 (14.0) years. Most patients (84.7%) were previously treated with topical therapy while 62.0% and 21.5% of patients had received systemic and biologic therapy, respectively. The mean baseline PASI score was 15.4 (9.3). Overall, the mean PASI score improved by 58.0% at week 4 and 78.4% at week 16. Statistically significant differences in PASI approvement were revealed among subgroups of patients with different loading dose and adherence rate. Adverse effects were reported in 8.0% of patients. The characteristics of patients in this study were slightly different from clinical trials in terms of demographic and clinical characteristics, as well as PsO treatment. Secukinumab was effective and safe in Thai patients with PsO, especially among those with complete loading dose and a higher adherence rate.

Abstract
Goat's beard (Aruncus dioicus var. kamtschaticus) is a traditional medicinal plant, widely used in Chinese and Korean traditional medicine because of its anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, antimicrobial, and anti-cancer activity. However, its effect on skin inflammatory diseases like psoriasis is unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate the therapeutic potency of A. dioicus extract (ADE) in in vitro and in vivo psoriasis models. ADE treatment significantly attenuated skin inflammation and improved skin integrity in imiquimod-treated mice by suppressing keratinocyte hyperproliferation, inhibiting the infiltration of immune cells, and downregulating the expression of psoriatic markers. Further, ADE treatment suppressed protein kinase B/mammalian target of rapamycin (Akt/mTOR) and Janus kinase 2/signal transducers and activators of transcription 3 (JAK2/STAT3) signaling in HaCaT cells. Overall, the application of ADE relieves psoriasis-like skin inflammation possibly by regulating the Akt/mTOR and JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathways, making it an effective alternative for psoriasis therapy.

Abstract
Background: Fecal calprotectin has emerged as a significant, validated, and non-invasive biomarker allowing for the evaluation of inflammatory bowel disease. Our study assessed the reliability of the use of faecal calprotectin as a valuable tool in the management of psoriatic patients on biological therapy. Methods: This was a single-centre prospective study including adult patients affected by moderate-to-severe psoriasis starting biological therapy. Faecal calprotectin levels were evaluated at baseline and at week 24 (W24) of treatment in all enrolled patients. Results: Overall, 129 patients were enrolled. The mean baseline faecal calprotectin levels were 74.7 μg/g and a significant reduction was detected at W24 of biological therapy (57.5 μg/g). An analysis of faecal CP values stratified by therapy type was performed. No significant reduction was assessed at W24 for any of the anti-IL17 drugs, whereas a significant reduction was detected for all IL23 inhibitors. Conclusions: Our study showed the potential use of faecal CP levels as a valuable tool for exploring intestinal inflammation in the management of psoriatic patients undergoing treatment with biologic drugs.

Abstract
Background. Psoriasis (skin lesions and psoriatic arthritis PA) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease that can be triggered by excessive activation of endosomal toll-like receptors (TLRs), mainly TLR9. Elevated TLR9 levels are observed in both PA and psoriasis. Therefore, studying the expression pattern of the TLR9 gene may help select therapies for patients with PA and psoriasis.
Aim. To study the expression pattern of the TLR9 gene in blood mononuclear cells of PA and psoriasis patients without joint involvement for possible use in the transition to targeted therapy.
Materials and methods. Mononuclear cells were isolated from the peripheral blood of 31 patients with psoriasis vulgaris without joint involvement, 45 patients with PA, and 20 healthy volunteers. TLR9 gene expression was analyzed by real-time polymerase chain reaction.
Results. A comparison of expression levels in PA patients and healthy volunteers showed that the expression level of TLR9 in PA patients was 591 times higher than that in healthy volunteers. The expression level of TLR9 in psoriasis patients without joint involvement was also significantly (423-fold) higher than that in healthy subjects.
Conclusion. TLR9 gene expression in mononuclear cells of psoriasis patients with severe skin lesions is similar to that in PA patients. High levels of TLR9 gene expression may be a marker of possible joint involvement in patients with psoriasis and indicate the need to reconsider the therapeutic approach to a particular patient.

Biomarkers of systemic treatment response in people with psoriasis: a scoping review. Br J Dermatol 2022; 187:494-506.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Responses to the systemic treatments commonly used to treat psoriasis vary. Biomarkers that accurately predict effectiveness and safety would enable targeted treatment selection, improved patient outcomes and more cost-effective healthcare. OBJECTIVES To perform a scoping review to identify and catalogue candidate biomarkers of systemic treatment response in psoriasis for the translational research community. METHODS A systematic search of CENTRAL, Embase, LILACS and MEDLINE was performed for relevant articles published between 1990 and December 2021. Eligibility criteria were studies involving patients with psoriasis (any age, n ≥ 50) reporting biomarkers associated with systemic treatment response. The main outcomes were any measure of systemic treatment efficacy or safety. Data were extracted by one reviewer and checked by a second; studies meeting minimal quality criteria (use of methods to control for confounding) were formally assessed for bias. Candidate biomarkers were identified by an expert multistakeholder group using a majority voting consensus exercise and mapped to relevant cellular and molecular pathways. RESULTS Of 71 included studies (67 studying effectiveness outcomes and eight safety outcomes; four studied both), most reported genomic or proteomic biomarkers associated with response to biologics (48 studies). Methodological or reporting limitations frequently compromised the interpretation of findings, including inadequate control for key covariates, lack of adjustment for multiple testing, and selective outcome reporting. We identified candidate biomarkers of efficacy to tumour necrosis factor inhibitors [variation in CARD14, CDKAL1, IL1B, IL12B and IL17RA loci, and lipopolysaccharide-induced phosphorylation of nuclear factor (NF)-κB in type 2 dendritic cells] and ustekinumab (HLA-C*06:02 and variation in an IL1B locus). None were supported by sufficient evidence for clinical use without further validation studies. Candidate biomarkers were found to be involved in the immune cellular crosstalk implicated in psoriasis pathogenesis, most notably antigen presentation, T helper (Th)17 cell differentiation, positive regulation of NF-κB, and Th17 cell activation. CONCLUSIONS This comprehensive catalogue provides a key resource for researchers and reveals a diverse range of biomarker types and outcomes in the included studies. The candidate biomarkers identified require further evaluation in methodologically robust studies to establish potential clinical utility. Future studies should aim to address the common methodological limitations highlighted in this review to expedite discovery and validation of biomarkers for clinical use. What is already known about this topic? Responses to the systemic treatments commonly used to treat psoriasis vary. Biomarkers that accurately predict effectiveness and safety would enable targeted treatment selection, improved patient outcomes and more cost-effective healthcare. What does this study add? This review provides a comprehensive catalogue of investigated biomarkers of systemic treatment response in psoriasis. A diverse range of biomarker types and outcomes was found in the included studies, serving as a key resource for the translational research community.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Identification of those at risk of more severe psoriasis and/or associated morbidities offers opportunity for early intervention, reduced disease burden and more cost-effective healthcare. Prognostic biomarkers of disease progression have thus been the focus of intense research, but none are part of routine practice. OBJECTIVES To identify and catalogue candidate biomarkers of disease progression in psoriasis for the translational research community. METHODS A systematic search of CENTRAL, Embase, LILACS and MEDLINE was performed for relevant articles published between 1990 and December 2021. Eligibility criteria were studies involving patients with psoriasis (any age, n ≥ 50) reporting biomarkers associated with disease progression. The main outcomes were any measure of skin severity or any prespecified psoriasis comorbidity. Data were extracted by one reviewer and checked by a second; studies meeting minimal quality criteria (longitudinal design and/or use of methods to control for confounding) were formally assessed for bias. Candidate biomarkers were identified by an expert multistakeholder group using a majority voting consensus exercise, and mapped to relevant cellular and molecular pathways. RESULTS Of 181 included studies, most investigated genomic or proteomic biomarkers associated with disease severity (n = 145) or psoriatic arthritis (n = 30). Methodological and reporting limitations compromised interpretation of findings, most notably a lack of longitudinal studies, and inadequate control for key prognostic factors. The following candidate biomarkers with future potential utility were identified for predicting disease severity: LCE3D, interleukin (IL)23R, IL23A, NFKBIL1 loci, HLA-C*06:02 (genomic), IL-17A, IgG aHDL, GlycA, I-FABP and kallikrein 8 (proteomic), tyramine (metabolomic); psoriatic arthritis: HLA-C*06:02, HLA-B*27, HLA-B*38, HLA-B*08, and variation at the IL23R and IL13 loci (genomic); IL-17A, CXCL10, Mac-2 binding protein, integrin b5, matrix metalloproteinase-3 and macrophage-colony stimulating factor (proteomic) and tyramine and mucic acid (metabolomic); and type 2 diabetes mellitus: variation in IL12B and IL23R loci (genomic). No biomarkers were supported by sufficient evidence for clinical use without further validation. CONCLUSIONS This review provides a comprehensive catalogue of investigated biomarkers of disease progression in psoriasis. Future studies must address the common methodological limitations identified herein to expedite discovery and validation of biomarkers for clinical use. What is already known about this topic? The current treatment paradigm in psoriasis is reactive. There is a need to develop effective risk-stratified management approaches that can proactively attenuate the substantial burden of disease. Prognostic biomarkers of disease progression have therefore been the focus of intense research. What does this study add? This review is the first to scope, collate and catalogue research investigating biomarkers of disease progression in psoriasis. The review identifies potentially promising candidate biomarkers for further investigation and highlights common important limitations that should be considered when designing and conducting future studies in this area.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This phase III study aimed to compare the efficacy, safety, and immunogenicity of SCT630 with the reference adalimumab. METHODS A total of 367 Chinese patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis were randomly assigned to receive 80 mg of SCT630 or adalimumab subcutaneously at week 1, 40 mg at week 2, then 40 mg biweekly. At week 16, those with 50 % or more improvement in psoriasis area and severity index (PASI) were eligible to enter an extension period up to week 52. Patients on SCT630 continued the same treatment, whereas patients receiving adalimumab were re-randomized at a ratio of 1:1 to adalimumab or SCT630 group. The primary endpoint was percentage improvement in PASI at week 16. Other endpoints included PASI 50/75/90/100, Physician's Global Assessment, Dermatology Life Quality Index, safety, and immunogenicity. RESULTS PASI improvement at week 16 was 85.07 % for SCT630 and 84.82 % for adalimumab. The mean difference (3.10 %, 95 % CI: -1.875 %, 8.066 %) was within the equivalence interval. Other efficacy endpoints, safety and immunogenicity profiles were similar across the two groups. There were no safety or immunogenicity difference between switched/continued groups. CONCLUSION This phase III study demonstrated the equivalences in efficacy, safety and immunogenicity of SCT630 to adalimumab in patients with moderate to severe psoriasis.

Abstract
Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by scaly indurated erythema. This disease impairs patients’ quality of life enormously. Pathological findings demonstrate proliferation and abnormal differentiation of keratinocytes and massive infiltration of inflammatory immune cells. The pathogenesis of psoriasis is complicated. Among immune cells, dendritic cells play a pivotal role in the development of psoriasis in both the initiation and the maintenance phases. In addition, it has been indicated that macrophages contribute to the pathogenesis of psoriasis especially in the initiation phase, although studies on macrophages are limited. In this article, we review the roles of dendritic cells and macrophages in the pathogenesis of psoriasis.

The Inflammatory Factor SNP May Serve as a Promising Biomarker for Acitretin to Alleviate Secondary Failure of Response to TNF-a Monoclonal Antibodies in Psoriasis. Front Pharmacol 2022; 13:937490.

Abstract
Psoriasis is a common immune-mediated inflammatory skin disease. Although biological agents have achieved good clinical efficacy in the treatment of moderate-to-severe psoriasis, the phenomenon of secondary non-response (SNR) has been gradually recognized. SNR refers to the gradual decline of efficacy after the patient achieves clinical remission with biological agents such as TNF-α biologics. Acitretin, as an immunomodulatory systemic drug for psoriasis, can improve the SNR to biological agents with good tolerance, but there are still individual differences in efficacy. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of many related inflammatory cytokines have been shown to be important factors of individual differences in drug response in psoriasis, but there have been few reports on the use of pharmacogenomics to alleviate the SNR to biological agents. This study recruited 43 patients with psoriasis and 24 normal controls to investigate whether SNPs of inflammatory cytokines could be used as biomarkers for acitretin to alleviate SNR to TNF-α biologics in psoriasis, including rs1800795 (IL-6), rs6887695 (IL-12b), rs3212227 (IL-12b), rs10484879 (IL-17a), rs4819554 (IL-17ra), rs763780 (IL-17F), rs11209032 (IL23R), rs11209026 (IL23R), and rs2201841 (IL23R). The study also analyzed the correlation between the abovementioned SNPs and the efficacy of acitretin-only patients so as to understand whether the improvement is attributable to the intervention of acitretin on SNR or a simple response of acitretin. We found that in patients with homozygous AA (χ2 = 6.577, p = 0.02) at the SNP rs112009032 (IL-23R), acitretin could improve the SNR to TNFα monoclonal antibody. Patients with the genotype of TG (χ2 = 6.124, p = 0.035) at rs3212227 (IL-12B) were more sensitive to using acitretin in the treatment of psoriasis. Rs3212227 (χ2 = 7.664, p = 0.022) was also associated with the susceptibility to psoriasis. The study might provide a clinical decision reference for personalized treatment of secondary loss of response to psoriasis biologics.

Abstract
Psoriasis is a chronic immune-mediated inflammatory skin disease, characterized by well-demarcated scaly, erythematous, infiltrated plaques. The cutaneous-to-systemic expansion of the inflammation in psoriasis leads to the concept of “psoriatic march” or “inflammatory skin march”. Accordingly, psoriasis is thought to be a systemic inflammatory disease associated with numerous comorbidities. Indeed, it’s currently considered an independent risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. Here, we discuss the current knowledge on TNF-α and IL-23/IL-17 mediated pathways linking the psoriatic plaque to the cardiovascular compartment. We further argue the possible involvement of the endothelial compartment in the psoriatic plaque- cardiovascular system crosstalk.

Abstract
Psoriasis is a common chronic immune-inflammatory disease. Challenges exist in the present treatment of psoriasis, such as difficulties in transdermal drug administration and severe side effects. We hope to achieve a better therapeutic outcome for psoriasis treatment. By using modified soluble microneedles (MNs) loaded with daphnetin, the psoriasis symptoms of mice, the abnormal proliferation of keratinocytes, and the secretion of inflammatory factors were significantly reduced. In vitro, daphnetin is proven to inhibit the NF-κB signaling pathway and to inhibit the proliferation of HaCaT cells and the release of inflammatory factors, especially CCL20. This research showed that the modified microneedle loaded with daphnetin optimized transdermal drug delivery and relieved the symptoms of psoriasis more effectively. The novel route of Daph administration provides a future research direction for the treatment of psoriasis.

Abstract
Skin is an important organ that mainly functions as a barrier. Skin diseases can damage a person's self-confidence and reduce their willingness to socialize, as well as their social behavior and willingness. When the skin appearance is abnormal, in addition to affecting the quality of life, it often leads to personal, social, and psychological dysfunction and even induces depression. Psoriasis and atopic dermatitis are common chronic skin diseases. Their prevalence in the world is 3-10%, and there is an increasing trend year by year. These congenital or acquired factors cause the dysfunction of the immune system and then destroy the barrier function of the skin. Because these patients are flooded with a variety of inflammatory mediators, this causes skin cells to be in chronic inflammation. Therefore, psoriasis and atopic dermatitis are also considered systemic chronic inflammatory diseases. In the healthcare systems of developed countries, it is unavoidable to spend high costs to relieve symptoms of psoriasis and atopic dermatitis patients, because psoriasis and atopic dermatitis have a great influence on individuals and society. Giving a lot of attention and developing effective treatment methods are the topics that the medical community must work on together. Therefore, we used a narrative review manuscript to discuss pathogenesis, clinical classification, incidence, and treatment options, including topical medication, systemic therapeutics, immunosuppressive medication for psoriasis, and atopic dermatitis, as well as also comparing the differences between these two diseases. We look forward to providing readers with comprehensive information on psoriasis and atopic dermatitis through this review article.

Clinical evidence on the use of brodalumab for the treatment of psoriasis in Greece: experience from clinical practice of 4 tertiary hospitals. Dermatol Ther 2022; 35:e15532.

Abstract
Despite brodalumad demonstrated efficacy in clinical trials, real-world data reflecting clinical benefits in unselected patient populations treated in routine clinical practice are limited. Thus, we performed a longitudinal, retrospective, real-world analysis assessing the long-term clinical benefits of patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis treated with brodalumab in Greece in the long term (up to 24 months). Main efficacy assessments included changes from baseline in the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) and proportions of patients achieving at least 50%, 75%, 90% and 100% reduction from baseline in PASI scores (PASI50, PASI75, PASI90 and PASI100) at different timepoints up to 24 months. Other endpoints included changes in the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) and Body Surface Area (BSA) involvement. Data from medical records of 180 patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis treated with brodalumab for up to 24 months were assessed. Following treatment, mean [Standard Deviation (SD)] PASI scores were decreased across all visits compared to baseline (p < 0.001). The proportion of patients achieving PASI50, PASI75, PASI90 or PASI100 were high as early as at month 1 and consistently tended to increase over time, mainly during the first six months. Improvements on disease severity were further reflected by reductions from baseline on BSA scores across all visits (p < 0.001). Concurrent improvements on DLQI scores were observed across all visits (p < 0.001). This retrospective analysis provides real-world evidence supporting the long-term efficacy profile of brodalumab in Greek patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis treated in standard clinical practice, which is characterized by a rapid onset of action generally sustained over time.

Abstract
Background:The global prevalence of psoriasis, a chronic inflammatory skin disease, has substantially increased in the last decade. The increase activity of Transforming Growth Factor ß1 (TGFß1)/nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB) pathway which cause inflammation, is the major pathological mechanism in psoriasis. Current psoriasis treatment using chemical agents is hampered by the side-effects when used long-term, which underlines the need for alternative, low side-effect anti-psoriatic agents. The extract of Physalis angulata L., also known as Ciplukan in Indonesia, contains Physalins, compounds known for their anti-inflammatory effects, but whose effect on psoriasis has not been studied.
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effect of Ciplukan extract (CE) to TGFß1/NF-κB pathway in psoriasis mouse models.
Methods: This was experimental study with posttest-only control group design. The CE active ingredients were identified using Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Twenty-five female imiquimod (IMQ) induced psoriasis-like dermatitis mice were allocated into five groups, with three groups receiving 7 days of 400, 800, and 1200 mg/kg bodyweight doses of CE, respectively, and two groups serving as control and IMQ groups. The NF-κB and TGFß1 expressions were evaluated using Allred score based on immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining. Histopathology and clinical psoriasis manifestations were assessed using Baker’s from Hematoxylin Eosin (HE) staining and Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI) scores. The Kruskal-Wallis followed by Mann Whitney tests were conducted for data analysis. The p-value < 0.05 was considered to be statistically different.
Results: Based on LC-MS/MS test, Physalin B, D, and F were active ingredients from CE in ethyl acetate solution. An improvement in psoriasis inflammation was observed in 400 and 800 mg/kg bodyweight doses of CE, but only the dosage of 800 mg/kg BW significantly decreased of Allred scores from NF-κB and TGFß1 expressions; Baker’s and PASI scores compared to IMQ group (p<0.05). The 1200 mg/kg bodyweight doses of CE associated with acute toxicity signs and mortality, meanwhile dosage of 800 mg/kg BW showed the highest efficacy with lowest toxicity effect.
Conclusions: Ciplukan extract improved psoriasis manifestations via inhibition effect to TGFß1/NF-κB pathway and the extract might be developed as an alternative anti-psoriasis agent

Abstract
Heterogeneous genetic and environmental factors contribute to the psoriasis phenotype, resulting in a wide range of patient response to targeted therapies. Here, we investigate genetic factors associated with response to the IL-12/23 inhibitor ustekinumab in psoriasis. To date, only HLA-C*06:02 has been consistently reported to associate with ustekinumab response in psoriasis. Genome-wide association testing was performed on the continuous outcome of percent change in Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI) at 12 weeks of ustekinumab therapy relative to baseline. A total of 439 European ancestry individuals with psoriasis were included [mean age, 46.6 years; 277 men (63.1%)]. 310 (70.6%) of the participants comprised the discovery cohort and the remaining 129 (29.4%) individuals comprised the validation cohort. Chromosome 4 variant rs35569429 was significantly associated with ustekinumab response at 12 weeks at a genome-wide significant level in the discovery cohort and replicated in the validation cohort. Of psoriasis subjects with at least one copy of the deletion allele of rs35569429, 44% achieved PASI75 (75% improvement in PASI from baseline) at week 12 of ustekinumab treatment, while for subjects without the deletion allele, 75% achieved PASI75 at week 12. We found that differences in treatment response increased when rs35569429 was considered alongside HLA-C*06:02. Psoriasis patients with the deletion allele of rs35569429 who were HLA-C*06:02 negative had a PASI75 response rate of 35% at week 12, while those without the deletion allele who were HLA-C*06:02 positive had a PASI75 response rate of 82% at week 12. Through GWAS, we identified a novel SNP that is potentially associated with response to ustekinumab in psoriasis.

Su Y, Zhang F, Wu L, Kuang H, Wang Q, Cheng G. Total withanolides ameliorates imiquimod-induced psoriasis-like skin inflammation. JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2022; 285:114895. [PMID: 34875348 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2021.114895] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/26/2020] [Revised: 09/29/2021] [Accepted: 12/02/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Datura metel L. has been used as an anesthetic in clinic for more than 1800 years in China, and the main efficacy of D. metel L. flower is relieving asthma and cough, relieving spasm and relieving pain. From 1978 to 1980, Datura metel L. was used as an anesthetic agent and occasionally cured psoriasis patients during anesthesia clinically, and our group confirmed that the effective portion is total withanolides (YWS). Moreover, the new drug "Datura metel L. capsule" composed of YWS has since been approved and used for the treatment of more than 3,000 psoriasis patients, with efficacy and cure rates greater than 90% and 65%. However, the immunological mechanism has not been elucidated. AIM OF THE STUDY Nowadays, although total withanolides from Datura metel L. have a better clinical efficacy in the treatment of psoriasis, there is a lack of overall understanding of the mechanism of their treatment, especially about some immune cells and proteins closely related to psoriasis and their relationship in executive function and biological significance. This study focused on investigating the mechanism of psoriasis treatment by YWS and determined the biochemical processes in the treatment of psoriasis based on Treg/Th17 axis cell-mediated bidirectional immunoregulatory functions, which provides an important scientific basis for understanding the mechanism underlying the treatment of psoriasis by YWS. MATERIALS AND METHODS The effects of YWS on the lesion pathology of IMQ-induced psoriasis mice and the underlying molecular mechanism were assessed directly using HE staining, the PASI score and the animal body mass. We also investigated the effects of YWS on the Treg/Th17 axis and their critical functions in psoriasis pathogenesis via molecular biological methods. Finally, we performed differential proteomics analysis on skin in IMQ-induced psoriasis mice to clarify the effect of YWS by incorporates mass spectrometry-bioinformatics and annotated the functions and pathways associated with the differential proteins through GO enrichment, KEGG pathway analysis and PPI networks analysis, respectively. RESULTS YWS regulated the imbalance of the Treg/Th17 axis. And proteomic analysis showed that YWS up-regulated 46 and down-regulated 37 proteins. According to the bioinformatics analysis, the improvement of Treg/Th17 imbalance may be the key immunological mechanism of YWS in the treatment of psoriasis by up-regulating the butyrate metabolism pathway, down-regulating leukocyte migration, inhibiting the phagocytic function of natural killer cells, suppressing osteoclast differentiation and interfering with chemokine activity, and the critical proteins involved are Lyn, HMGCS2, ABAT, ITGβ2, PRKCβ, MMP9, NCF1, JUNβ, and Hck. CONCLUSION This research clarified that the improvement of the imbalance of the Treg/Th17 axis may be the key immunological mechanism of YWS in the treatment of psoriasis through metabolic pathways and influencing key proteins. The results not only expand the therapeutic targets and approaches for the treatment of psoriasis, which is a challenging and complex disease, but also deepens the understanding of the mechanism of YWS in the treatment of psoriasis and other important conditions to open up a new way of thinking for research on YWS in the treatment of psoriasis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A wide variety of effects of irisin, as a myokine and adipokine, have been reported. Although there are some clues about its role in the modulation of immune response in the pathogenesis of immune-mediated diseases such as psoriasis, it has not yet been clearly elucidated. The aim of the present study is to investigate the relationship of irisin levels with inflammation and insulin resistance in patients with psoriasis. METHODS This study was conducted in patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis and healthy subjects who were admitted to Haseki Training and Research Hospital. In addition to routine laboratory analyses, hs-CRP, insulin, irisin, adiponectin, and leptin levels were measured. The association between irisin levels and study variables was assessed using univariate and multivariate analyses. RESULTS A total of 42 non-diabetic patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis and 43 healthy subjects were enrolled. The mean irisin, waist circumference, insulin, insulin resistance, and hs-CRP, and frequency of metabolic syndrome were significantly higher in psoriasis patients than healthy controls. Psoriasis and control groups were similar in terms of adiponectin, leptin, and Body Mass Index levels. Also, hs-CRP levels were positively and strongly correlated with irisin, adiponectin, and leptin levels. The median irisin level was 2.15 µg/mL. In the binary logistic regression analysis, CRP level (OR=1.14, 95% CI 1.005-1.29, P=0.042) and a BMI>30 kg/m2 (OR=5.9, 95% CI 1.02-34.4, P=0.048) were independent predictors of a higher irisin level. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates that serum irisin levels are higher in patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis than in healthy subjects. Irisin seems to be associated with inflammation, as measured by hs-CRP. More comprehensive studies are needed to clarify the effect of irisin, on immune-modulate response in patients with psoriasis.

Abstract
Background Psoriasis is an autoimmune skin disease associated with lipid metabolism. Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) is a bioactive lipid that plays a key role in the development of autoimmune diseases. However, there is currently a lack of comprehensive evidence of the effectiveness of S1P on psoriasis. Objective To assess the efficacy and possible mechanism of S1P and its signal modulators in the treatment of psoriasis-like dermatitis. Methods Six databases were searched through May 8, 2021, for studies reporting S1P and its signal modulators. Two reviewers independently extracted information from the enrolled studies. Methodological quality was assessed using SYRCLE’s risk of bias tool. RevMan 5.3 software was used to analyze the data. For clinical studies, the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index score were the main outcomes. For preclinical studies, we clarified the role of S1P and its regulators in psoriasis in terms of phenotype and mechanism. Results One randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial and nine animal studies were included in this study. The pooled results showed that compared with control treatment, S1P receptor agonists [mean difference (MD): −6.80; 95% confidence interval (CI): −8.23 to −5.38; p<0.00001], and sphingosine kinase 2 inhibitors (MD: −0.95; 95% CI: −1.26 to −0.65; p<0.00001) alleviated psoriasis-like dermatitis in mice. The mechanism of S1P receptor agonists in treating psoriasis might be related to a decrease in the number of white blood cells, topical lymph node weight, interleukin-23 mRNA levels, and percentage of CD3+ T cells (p<0.05). Sphingosine kinase 2 inhibitors ameliorated psoriasis in mice, possibly by reducing spleen weight and cell numbers (p<0.05). Conclusions S1P receptor agonists and sphingosine kinase 2 inhibitors could be potential methods for treating psoriasis by decreasing immune responses and inflammatory factors.

Abstract
CONTEXT Gonadotropins can be administered every 5 days under intradermal injection in in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment. OBJECTIVE To explore the effectiveness of intradermal injection of recombinant human FSH (rhFSH) for women undergoing IVF. METHODS Women who received their first IVF treatment enrolled in this prospective intervention in 2018. All women received a bolus of 900 IU rhFSH intradermally at day 2 of the treatment cycle followed by additional dosage of rhFSH at day 7 and/or day 10. The main outcome measures included the total dose of rhFSH and number of injections required, sequential serum FSH level detected, and number of mature oocytes retrieved. RESULTS Seventy women completed the study. On average, 2.31 ± 0.73 injections and 1662 ± 397 IU of rhFSH were administered. While the baseline FSH level was 5.6 ± 2.2 IU/L, the serum concentrations of FSH after rhFSH administration were 35.3 ± 7.0 on the first day (24 hours) and 10.7 ± 3.7 IU/L on the fifth day (120 hours). A total of 10.5 ± 6.6 mature oocytes were retrieved, resulting in 7.3 ± 5.1 pronuclear embryos; 1.8 ± 0.6 embryos were transferred to the uterus. Our findings resulted in 72% fertilization, 91% cleavage, 31% implantation, and 36% live birth rates. Although fewer larger follicles were found, noninferiority results were noted in the mature oocytes retrieved, good embryos available, and clinical pregnancy rate compared with those received conventional daily subcutaneous rhFSH administration. CONCLUSION Intradermal administration of rhFSH, with a smaller dose of rhFSH and fewer injections, may achieve the goal of a cost-effective and more patient-friendly regimen.

Abstract
Psoriasis vulgaris is a common inflammatory skin disease with still unknown pathogenesis. In recent years, genetic and environmental factors have been mentioned as the main causes. Among environmental factors, many researchers are trying to investigate the role of mental health and its importance in the development of many diseases. In the pathophysiology of psoriasis, the role of the interaction between the nervous, endocrine, and immune systems are often emphasized. So far, no one has clearly indicated where the pathological process begins. One of the hypotheses is that chronic stress influences the formation of hormonal changes (lowering the systemic cortisol level), which favors the processes of autoimmunity. In inflammatory skin conditions, mast cells (MCs) are localized close to blood vessels and peripheral nerves, where they probably play an important role in the response to environmental stimuli and emotional stress. They are usually connected with a fast immune response, not only in allergies but also a protective response to microbial antigens. Among many cells of the immune system, MCs have receptors for the hormones of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis on their surface. In this review, we will try to take a closer look at the role of MCs in the pathophysiology of psoriasis. This knowledge may give the opportunity to search for therapeutic solutions.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Psoriasis is a chronic immune-mediated disease affecting 125 million people globally. It is characterized by erythematous plaques in the skin, covered by silvery scales. However, non-cutaneous manifestations (e.g., joint symptoms in psoriatic arthritis) and a high prevalence of other immune-mediated diseases such as inflammatory bowel diseases reflect its systemic nature. So far, research on psoriasis pathogenesis has improved our knowledge of the roles of the immune system, and cytokines play significant roles in immune responses. AREAS COVERED Herein, we review cytokine changes in psoriasis patients. Moreover, we will investigate the possible relationships between disease severity and cytokines alongside describing cytokine alterations in psoriasis patients with other comorbidities. Lastly, we will discuss the biologics and their effects on cytokines in psoriasis patients. EXPERT OPINION Psoriasis could develop various clinical types and clinical manifestations in people. It is an immune-mediated disease, and these manifestations are associated with different impaired cytokines. Imbalanced cytokines could lead to abnormal keratinocytes, neovascularization, and inflammation in psoriasis patients. So, a better understanding of the cytokine roles can help one choose a specific cytokine-targeting biologic to treat psoriasis. Moreover, these cytokines may be used as a severity marker for following up with these patients.

Abstract
High levels of serum vitamin D-binding protein have been shown previously in patients with psoriasis compared with healthy controls; a possible role in inflammation is implied. The primary objective of this study was to investigate the impact of 24-week etanercept treatment on vitamin D status and vitamin D-binding protein in patients with psoriasis. The secondary aim was to explore whether pre-treatment vitamin D levels could predict the treatment effect. A prospective observational study was performed, including 20 patients with psoriasis and 15 controls. Serum samples were analyzed for, among others, vitamin D metabolites, vitamin D-binding protein and highly sensitive Creactive protein. Baseline levels of vitamin D-binding protein were higher in patients with self-reported arthropathy than in those without. After 24 weeks’ treatment, an improvement in psoriasis was noted, as was a decrease in highly sensitive C-reactive protein. Vitamin D-binding protein decreased in those with self-reported arthropathy. Higher baseline levels of vitamin D were associated with faster and greater improvement in psoriasis. Vitamin D-binding protein may have an inflammatory biomarker role.

Abstract
Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by erythematous scaly plaques, accompanied by systemic damage that leads to the development of multiple comorbidities. In particular, the association between psoriasis and cardiometabolic comorbidities, including cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), obesity, diabetes mellitus, and metabolic syndrome, has been verified in a considerable number of clinical trials. Moreover, the increased risk of cardiometabolic comorbidities positively correlates with psoriasis severity. Biologic therapy targeting inflammatory pathways or cytokines substantially improves the life quality of psoriasis patients and may affect cardiometabolic comorbidities by reducing their incidences. In this review, we focus on exploring the association between cardiometabolic comorbidities and psoriasis, and emphasize the benefits and precautions of biologic therapy in the management of psoriasis with cardiometabolic comorbidities. The pathogenic mechanisms of cardiometabolic comorbidities in psoriasis patients involve common genetic factors, lipid metabolism, insulin resistance, and shared inflammatory pathways such as tumor necrosis factor-α and interleukin-23/Th-17 pathways.
