Abstract
Introduction: The cutaneous lymphocyte antigen interacts with E-selectin on endothelial cells and is expressed on 15% of circulating T-cells. Skin-homing T-cells express the cutaneous lymphocyte antigen and play a role in local cutaneous immunity in inflammatory reactions and neoplastic conditions.Areas covered: Lymphocyte extravasation is the essential para-physiological mechanism enabling immune surveillance of tissues for tumors as well as effector cell recruitment to inflammatory sites.The authors focused on skin inflammatory disorders, on cutaneous lymphoproliferative disease, and on other skin malignancies.Expert opinion: Interfering with leukocyte extravasation has been regarded as an attractive strategy in skin disorders, in the past for inflammatory conditions and more recently for cutaneous T-cell lymphomas. Therapeutic blocking of skin-homing interactions has been attempted in psoriasis and atopic dermatitis and has been achieved in the treatment of cutaneous T-cell lymphomas. Cutaneous lymphocyte antigen is a potential molecular target for both systemic and skin-directed therapy for cutaneous T-cell lymphomas.

Abstract
Blood to skin recirculation could play a role in the pathogenesis of psoriasis. To investigate this possibility we dissected the phenotype of circulating T cells in psoriasis patients, calculated the correlation the clinical parameters of the disease and performed a parallel bioinformatics analysis of gene expression data in psoriatic skin. We found that circulating CCR6+ CD4+ TEM and TEFF cells significantly correlated with systemic inflammation. Conversely, the percentage of CXCR3+ CD4+ TEM cells negatively correlated with the severity of the cutaneous disease. Importantly CLA+ CD4+ TCM cells expressing CCR6+ or CCR4+CXCR3+ negatively correlated with psoriasis severity suggesting recruitment to the skin compartment. This assumption was reinforced by gene expression data showing marked increase of CCR7 and CLA-encoding gene SELPLG expression in psoriatic skin and strong association of their expression. The data enlightens a role for CD4+ T cells trafficking between blood and skin in cutaneous and systemic manifestations of psoriasis.

Streptococcus pyogenes-induced cutaneous lymphocyte antigen-positive T cell-dependent epidermal cell activation triggers TH17 responses in patients with guttate psoriasis. J Allergy Clin Immunol 2016; 138:491-499.e6. [PMID: 27056267 DOI: 10.1016/j.jaci.2016.02.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 34] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/29/2015] [Revised: 01/22/2016] [Accepted: 02/05/2016] [Indexed: 12/18/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Guttate psoriasis (GP) is characterized by acute onset of small, rounded psoriatic lesions. Although this particular phenotype of psoriasis is usually associated with streptococcal throat infections and mainly occurs in HLA-Cw6(+) patients, the specific immunologic response to this innate stimulus that causes these skin lesions is poorly understood. OBJECTIVE This study aims to elucidate how key cellular elements of patients with GP respond to Streptococcus pyogenes and whether this initial immune response is favored by the genetic and environmental background of these patients. METHODS Circulating memory T cells and autologous epidermal cells from samples from either patients with GP (n = 14) or healthy control subjects (n = 6) were cocultured ex vivo in the presence of an S pyogenes extract. Levels of the psoriasis-associated cytokines IL-17A, IL-17F, IFN-γ, TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-8 were determined. The expression of several genes with increased (DEFB4, S100A7, LCN2, IL36G, IL8, CXCL9, CXCL10, and CXCL11) or decreased (FLG and LOR) transcripts in psoriatic lesions was examined in keratinocytes treated with coculture supernatants. RESULTS When skin-homing effector memory cutaneous lymphocyte antigen-positive T cells were used in cocultures, a TH17-dominant response was observed, as reflected by the higher amounts of IL-17A and IL-17F than IFN-γ. Moreover, a higher TH17 response was observed in cells isolated from patients with flares associated with a streptococcal tonsillitis and with the HLA-Cw6 allele (cohort 1). In addition, in normal keratinocytes the supernatants from these cocultures induced an increase in IL-17-associated genes, such as DEFB4, S100A7, LCN2, IL36G, and IL8 but a decrease in FLG and LOR, thereby confirming the role of activated TH17 cells. CONCLUSION This study reveals a dominant TH17 response of cutaneous lymphocyte antigen-positive T cells activated by epidermal cells and S pyogenes in patients with GP.

Abstract
T lymphocytes expressing the CLA antigen constitute a subset of effector memory lymphocytes that are functionally involved in T-cell-mediated cutaneous diseases. Skin-seeking lymphocytes recirculate between inflamed skin and blood during cutaneous inflammation. Many studies in different T-cell-mediated inflammatory cutaneous diseases have clearly related their pathologic mechanisms to CLA+ T cells. Based on common features of these cells in different cutaneous disorders mediated by T cells, we propose that circulating CLA+T cells could constitute very useful peripheral cellular biomarkers for T-cell-mediated skin diseases.

Abstract
Streptococcal throat infection is associated with a specific variant of psoriasis and with HLA-Cw6 expression. In this study, activation of circulating psoriatic cutaneous lymphocyte-associated antigen (CLA)(+) memory T cells cultured together with epidermal cells occurred only when streptococcal throat extracts were added. This triggered the production of Th1, Th17, and Th22 cytokines, as well as epidermal cell mediators (CXCL8, CXCL9, CXCL10, and CXCL11). Streptococcal extracts (SEs) did not induce any activation with either CLA(-) cells or memory T cells cultured together with epidermal cells from healthy subjects. Intradermal injection of activated culture supernatants into mouse skin induced epidermal hyperplasia. SEs also induced activation when we used epidermal cells from nonlesional skin of psoriatic patients with CLA(+) memory T cells. Significant correlations were found between SE induced upregulation of mRNA expression for ifn-γ, il-17, il-22, ip-10, and serum level of antistreptolysin O in psoriatic patients. This study demonstrates the direct involvement of streptococcal infection in pathological mechanisms of psoriasis, such as IL-17 production and epidermal cell activation.

Abstract
The cutaneous leucocyte-associated antigen receptor (CLA) can direct Leishmania-specific T lymphocytes towards inflamed skin lesions. Homing receptors [CLA, lymphocyte-associated antigen 1 (LFA-1) or CD62L] were analysed in lymphocytes from blood and cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) lesions. CL patients with active lesions (A-CL) presented lower levels of T lymphocytes expressing the CLA(+) phenotype (T CD4(+) = 10.4% +/- 7.5% and T CD8(+) = 5.8% +/- 3.4%) than did healthy subjects (HS) (T CD4(+) = 19.3% +/- 13.1% and T CD8(+) = 21.6% +/- 8.8%), notably in T CD8(+) (P < 0.001). In clinically cured patients these percentages returned to levels observed in HS. Leishmanial antigens up-regulated CLA in T cells (CLA(+) in T CD4(+) = 33.3% +/- 14.1%; CLA(+) in T CD8(+) = 22.4% +/- 9.4%) from A-CL but not from HS. An enrichment of CLA(+) cells was observed in lesions (CLA(+) in T CD4(+) = 45.9% +/- 22.5%; CLA(+) in T CD8(+) = 46.4% +/- 16.1%) in comparison with blood (CLA(+) in T CD4(+) = 10.4% +/- 7.5%; CLA(+) in T CD8(+) = 5.8% +/- 3.4%). Conversely, LFA-1 was highly expressed in CD8(+) T cells and augmented in CD4(+) T from peripheral blood of A-CL patients. In contrast, CD62L was not affected. These results suggest that Leishmania antigens can modulate molecules responsible for migration to skin lesions, potentially influencing the cell composition of inflammatory infiltrate of leishmaniasis or even the severity of the disease.
