J DERMATOL TREAT 2024; 35:2373826. [PMID: 38964751 DOI: 10.1080/09546634.2024.2373826] [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: 04/01/2024] [Accepted: 06/06/2024] [Indexed: 07/06/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND To evaluate the risk of neutropenia during treatment with anti-IL-23 antibodies in patients with psoriasis. METHOD We conducted an observational study with cohort design using MID-NET® in Japan. We identified patients with psoriasis who were newly prescribed anti-IL-23 antibodies, anti-IL-17-antibodies, adalimumab, or apremilast between January 1, 2009, and March 31, 2021. We estimated the adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) of anti-IL-23 antibodies compared to that of anti-IL-17 antibodies, adalimumab, or apremilast, for the risk of grade 2 (neutrophil count < 1,500/μL) or grade 3 (neutrophil count < 1,000/μL) neutropenia. RESULTS Overall, 287 patients on anti-IL-23 antibodies, 189 patients on anti-IL-17 antibodies, 293 patients on adalimumab, and 540 patients on apremilast were included. Compared with anti-IL-17 antibodies, the aHR (95% confidence interval (CI)) of anti-IL-23 antibodies was 0.83 (0.27-2.51) for grade 2 and 0.40 (0.02-7.60) for grade 3 neutropenia; that when compared with adalimumab was 0.76 (0.28-2.06) for grade 2 but was not calculated for grade 3 as no cases were found; and that compared with apremilast was 3.88 (0.62-24.48) for grade 2 and 0.43 (0.02-11.63) for grade 3 neutropenia. CONCLUSION No clear increase in the risk of neutropenia with anti-IL-23 antibodies was observed.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Stevens-Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis (SJS/TEN) are severe cutaneous adverse drug reactions (SCARs) characterized by widespread epithelial detachment and blistering, which affects the skin and mucocutaneous membranes. To date, therapeutic interventions for SJS/TEN have focused on systematic suppression of the inflammatory response using high-dose corticosteroids or intravenous immunoglobulin G (IgG), for example. No targeted therapies for SJS/TEN currently exist. RECENT FINDINGS Though our understanding of the pathogenesis of SJS/TEN has advanced from both an immunological and dermatological perspective, this knowledge is yet to translate into the development of new targeted therapies. SUMMARY Greater mechanistic insight into SJS/TEN would potentially unlock new opportunities for identifying or repurposing targeted therapies to limit or even prevent epidermal injury and blistering.

Quality of reporting and concordance between sources of adverse events in the treatment of moderate-to-severe psoriasis: a cross-sectional study of RCTs from a Cochrane systematic review. J Clin Epidemiol 2024; 173:111406. [PMID: 38825170 DOI: 10.1016/j.jclinepi.2024.111406] [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: 12/05/2023] [Revised: 05/07/2024] [Accepted: 05/28/2024] [Indexed: 06/04/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Incomplete reporting of safety outcomes in quality and availability of safety reporting in published articles of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were described in different medical areas. The number of RCTs assessing systemic treatments for psoriasis has increased considerably. Complete and precise reporting of safety is mandatory for the efficacy/harms balance evaluation. We aimed to assess the quality and availability of safety reporting in published RCTs assessing systemic treatments for psoriasis, as well as the concordance of data between published trials and ClinicalTrials.gov (CT). STUDY DESIGN AND SETTING We included all RCTs in adults initiated after September 2009, assessing systemic psoriasis treatments compared with placebo or with an active comparator. All trials were selected in duplicate by 2 independent authors from the latest search of the dedicated Cochrane review. We described quality of safety reporting for all published RCTs, using a modified Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials harms scale by using descriptive analysis, and a composite score of 3 key items of safety report. For each RCT, data on adverse events (AEs)/serious AEs (SAEs) were extracted from the publication and CT: total number of AEs/SAEs, patients with AEs/SAEs, SAEs by system organ class classification and deaths. These data were compared between sources for each RCT. RESULTS In total, 128 trials were included in the analysis of reporting quality, and 76 in the analysis of data concordance between sources. The median number of reported Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials harms items per article was 9 out of 18 (IQR 7-10), and mean number was 8.39 (SD = 3.02). Items in the methods section were the least frequently reported. The proportion of RCTs reporting the number of SAEs and death were significantly higher on CT than in the published article ((100% (76/76) vs 88.2%, McNemar test, P < .0016). At least 1 discrepancy between sources for SAE safety data was found in 30/76 (39.5%) RCTs. CONCLUSION Shortcomings and gaps in the quality of safety reporting in publications of RCTs of systemic psoriasis treatments have been identified. A lack of data in published articles and discrepancies between published articles and CT data complete this finding.

Abstract
Therapeutic agents targeting cytokine-cytokine receptor (CK-CKR) interactions lead to the disruption in cellular signaling and are effective in treating many diseases including tumors. However, a lack of universal and quick access to annotated structural surface regions on CK/CKR has limited the progress of a structure-driven approach in developing targeted macromolecular drugs and precision medicine therapeutics. Herein we develop CytoSIP (Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), Interface, and Phenotype), a rich internet application based on a database of atomic interactions around hotspots in experimentally determined CK/CKR structural complexes. CytoSIP contains: (1) SNPs on CK/CKR; (2) interactions involving CK/CKR domains, including CK/CKR interfaces, oligomeric interfaces, epitopes, or other drug targeting surfaces; and (3) diseases and phenotypes associated with CK/CKR or SNPs. The database framework introduces a unique tri-level SIP data model to bridge genetic variants (atomic level) to disease phenotypes (organism level) using protein structure (complexes) as an underlying framework (molecule level). Customized screening tools are implemented to retrieve relevant CK/CKR subset, which reduces the time and resources needed to interrogate large datasets involving CK/CKR surface hotspots and associated pathologies. CytoSIP portal is publicly accessible at https://CytoSIP.biocloud.top , facilitating the panoramic investigation of the context-dependent crosstalk between CK/CKR and the development of targeted therapeutic agents.

Abstract
Psoriasis, a chronic inflammatory skin condition, is often accompanied by psychiatric comorbidities such as anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, and other mental disorders. Psychological disorders may also play a role in the development and progression of psoriasis. The intricate interplay between the skin diseases and the psychiatric comorbidities is mediated by the 'skin-brain axis'. Understanding the mechanisms underlying psoriasis and psychiatric comorbidities can help improve the efficacy of treatment by breaking the vicious cycle of diseases. T cells and related cytokines play a key role in the pathogenesis of psoriasis and psychiatric diseases, and are crucial components of the 'skin-brain axis'. Apart from damaging the blood-brain barrier (BBB) directly, T cells and secreted cytokines could interact with the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA axis) and the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) to exacerbate skin diseases or mental disorders. However, few reviews have systematically summarized the roles and mechanisms of T cells in the interaction between psoriasis and psychiatric comorbidities. In this review, we discussed several key T cells and their roles in the 'skin-brain axis', with a focus on the mechanisms underlying the interplay between psoriasis and mental commodities, to provide data that might help develop effective strategies for the treatment of both psoriasis and psychiatric comorbidities.

Abstract
The 21st-century beginning remarked with the huge success of monospecific MAbs, however, in the last couple of years, polyspecific MAbs (PsAbs) have been an interesting topic and show promise of being biobetter than monospecific MAbs. Polyspecificity, in which a single antibody serves multiple specific target binding, has been hypothesized to contribute to the development of a highly effective antibody repertoire for immune defence. This polyspecific MAb trend represents an explosion that is gripping the whole pharmaceutical industry. This review is concerned with the current development and quality enforcement of PsAbs. All provided literature on monospecific MAbs and polyspecific MAbs (PsAbs) were searched using various electronic databases such as PubMed, Google Scholar, Web of Science, Elsevier, Springer, ACS, Google Patent and books via the keywords Antibody engineering, Polyspecific antibody, Conventional antibody, non-conventional antibody, and Single domain antibody. In the literature, there are more than 100 different formats to construct PsAb by quadroma technology, chemical conjugation and genetic engineering. Till March 2023, nine PsAb have been approved around the world, and around 330 are in advanced developmental stages, showing the dominancy of PsAb in the growing health sector. Recent advancements in protein engineering techniques and the fusion of non-conventional antibodies have made it possible to create complex PsAbs that demonstrate higher stability and enhanced potency. This marks the most significant achievement for cancer immunotherapy, in which PsAbs have immense promise. It is worth mentioning that seven out of the nine PsAbs have been approved as anti-cancer therapy. As PsAbs continue to acquire prominence, they could pave the way for the development of novel immunotherapies for multiple diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Formation of anti-drug antibodies (ADAs) against biologics is an important cause of psoriasis treatment failure. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to summarize the characteristics of ADAs formation under different biological therapies and the influence of ADAs on the clinical effects and safety of biologics in patients with psoriasis. METHODS PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science databases were searched from their inception to August 2022. Studies on biologics that assessed ADA levels in patients with psoriasis were included. The Cochrane risk-of-bias tool was used to assess the quality of randomized controlled trials (RCTs), the Newcastle-Ottawa Quality Assessment Scale (NOS) for case-control and cohort studies, and the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) critical appraisal checklist for single-arm studies. We calculated the pooled incidence with a random-effects model using R software. Subgroup analyses revealed that differences in patient characteristics, disease conditions, study design, and immunoassays may influence ADA generation and detection. RESULTS The analysis included 86 studies, with a total population of 42,280 individuals. The pooled ADA rates were 0.49%, 2.20%, 2.38%, 4.08%, 7.38%, 7.94%, 14.29%, 21.93%, 29.70%, 31.76%, and 39.58% for secukinumab, etanercept, brodalumab, ustekinumab, tildrakizumab, guselkumab, ixekizumab, risankizumab, infliximab, adalimumab, and bimekizumab, respectively. >70% (95% CI, 0.71-0.81) of ADAs against adalimumab were neutralizing antibodies, and over 70% of ADAs against secukinumab and brodalumab were transient. Concomitant methotrexate therapy with tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) inhibitors decreased ADA levels. Lower infliximab doses and intermittent therapy with interleukin (IL)-23 p19 inhibitors increased ADA formation. Additionally, ADA formation under treatment using TNF-α inhibitors and IL-12/23 p40 inhibitors was associated with lower response rates or serum drug levels, but only high ADA titers reduced the clinical effects of IL-17 inhibitors. The occurrence of IL-23 p19 and TNF-α inhibitors has been linked to injection-site reactions. CONCLUSIONS Among the 11 biologics, secukinumab, etanercept, and brodalumab resulted in the lowest ADA formation rates. Immunogenicity contributes to lower biological efficacy and a higher likelihood of injection-site reactions. Low doses, intermittent treatment may increase ADA formation. An appropriate biologic should be selected based on the ADA formation rate and course of treatment.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune condition targeting the neuromuscular junction, which manifests with neuromuscular symptoms of varying severity and significant morbidity. The mainstay of treatment in MG is mitigation of the immune cascade with steroids and non-steroidal immunosuppressive therapies. The therapeutic strategies in MG are transitioning from broad and indiscriminate immunosuppression to novel agents targeting key steps in MG pathogenesis, including T cell activation, B cell proliferation, complement activation, maintenance of pathogenic antibody production, and proinflammatory cytokine production. AREAS COVERED In this review, an overview of the pathogenesis of MG and traditional MG therapies is presented, followed by a discussion of the novel MG drugs that have been evaluated in phase 3 clinical trials with an emphasis on those which have received regulatory approval. EXPERT OPINION Novel MG therapeutics belonging to the classes of complement inhibitors, neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) inhibitors and B cell depletors, as well as the other emerging MG drugs in the pipeline constitute promising treatment strategies with potentially better efficacy and safety compared to the conventional MG treatments. However, further long-term research is needed in order to optimize the implementation of these new treatment options for the appropriate patient populations.

Abstract
Previous basic and clinical investigations have identified various pathogenic factors and determinants of risk that contribute to hypertension. Nevertheless, the pathogenesis of hypertension has not been fully elucidated. Moreover, despite the availability of antihypertensive medications for the management of blood pressure, treatments that address the full spectrum of the pathophysiological defects underpinning hypertension remain to be identified. To further investigate the mechanisms of primary hypertension, it is imperative to consider novel potential aspects, such as fluid management by the skin, in addition to the conventional risk factors. There is a close association between body fluid regulation and blood pressure, and the kidney, which, as the principal organ responsible for body fluid homeostasis, is the primary target for research in the field of hypertension. In addition, the skin functions as a biological barrier, potentially contributing to body fluid regulation. In this review, we propose the hypothesis that changes in skin water conservation are associated with hypertension risk based on recent findings. Further studies are required to clarify whether this novel hypothesis is limited to specific hypertension or applies to physiological blood pressure regulation.

Polesie S, Alinaghi F, Egeberg A. A systematic review investigating at what proportion clinical images are shared in prospective randomized controlled trials involving patients with psoriasis and biological agents. J DERMATOL TREAT 2023; 34:2281261. [PMID: 37965743 DOI: 10.1080/09546634.2023.2281261] [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: 10/19/2023] [Accepted: 11/02/2023] [Indexed: 11/16/2023]
Abstract
For many patients including those with psoriasis, scientific manuscripts comprising clinical outcomes including psoriasis area severity index (PASI) and/or physician global assessment (PGA) may be difficult to understand. However, most patients can relate to images at baseline and follow-up, particularly for dermatological diseases. This study aimed to assess the proportion of shared clinical images in psoriasis trials. A systematic review adhering to the PRISMA guidelines was performed. The review was limited to randomized controlled trials, and among these, only investigations involving biological agents for treatment of psoriasis were included. The Embase, MEDLINE and Scopus databases were searched for eligible studies published from inception to October 26, 2021. In total, 152 studies were included. When combining these, 62,871 patients were randomized. Overall, 203 images were shared depicting 60 patients in the manuscripts yielding an overall sharing rate of 0.1%. Patient images are seldom incorporated in clinical trial manuscripts which impairs interpretation for patients. Inclusion of image material would strengthen the patients' perspective and understanding on what treatment effects that can be expected. As such, this systematic review should be an invitation to the pharmaceutical industry, other sponsors, and editorial offices to improve easy transfer of information to patients using image data.

Short-term risk and long-term incidence rate of infection and malignancy with IL-17 and IL-23 inhibitors in adult patients with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Front Immunol 2023; 14:1294416. [PMID: 38106423 PMCID: PMC10721978 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2023.1294416] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/14/2023] [Accepted: 11/10/2023] [Indexed: 12/19/2023] Open
Abstract
The risk of infection and malignancy may be a concern for patients with psoriasis receiving interleukin (IL)-17 and IL-23 inhibitors, particularly with long-term treatments. We aimed to estimate the short-term risks and long-term incidence rates of infection and malignancy with IL-17 or IL-23 antagonists in adult patients with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis through this comprehensive meta-analysis (PROSPERO registration number: CRD42022363127). We searched PubMed, MEDLINE, Web of Science and ClinicalTrials.gov until May 17, 2023 for randomized placebo-controlled trials and long-term (≥ 52 weeks) open-label extension studies. The estimates of short-term risk ratios (RRs) and long-term exposure-adjusted incidence rates (EAIRs) were pooled using R software 4.1.1 and STATA 16.0. This review included 45 randomized placebo-controlled studies and 27 open-label extension studies. Short-term RRs of serious infection, overall infection and malignancy were 1.45 (95% confidence intervals, 95% CI: 0.81-2.59), 1.20 (95% CI: 1.06-1.35), 0.83 (95% CI: 0.41-1.71) with IL-17 inhibitors; and 0.68 (95% CI: 0.38-1.22), 1.13 (95% CI: 1.00-1.28), 0.87 (95% CI: 0.37-2.04) with IL-23 inhibitors. Increased short-term risks of nasopharyngitis and Candida infection with IL-17 inhibitors were found. Long-term EAIRs of serious infection, overall infection, nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC), malignancies excluding NMSC, nasopharyngitis and upper respiratory tract infection were 1.11/100 patient-years (PYs), 57.78/100PYs, 0.47/100PYs, 0.24/100PYs, 15.07/100PYs, 8.52/100PYs, 3.41/100PYs with IL-17 inhibitors; and 1.09/100PYs, 48.50/100PYs, 0.40/100PYs, 0.43/100PYs, 10.75/100PYs, 5.84/100PYs with IL-23 inhibitors. Long-term EAIR of Candida infection was 3.41/100PYs with IL-17 inhibitors. No active or reactivated tuberculosis was ever reported in all the trials, and only a few cases of latent tuberculosis, hepatitis, and herpes zoster were reported during the long-term extension periods. No evidence of increased EAIRs of infection and malignancy with longer durations was found. Our study suggested that short-term risk and long-term incidence of infections and malignancies in psoriasis patients receiving IL-17 inhibitors and IL-23 inhibitors are generally low. However, close monitoring is required for nasopharyngitis and Candida infection with IL-17 inhibitors. Systematic Review Registration https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO/, identifier CRD42022363127.

Abstract
Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is an unabated risk factor for end-stage liver diseases with no available therapies. Dysregulated immune responses are critical culprits of MASLD pathogenesis. Independent contributions from either the innate or adaptive arms of the immune system or their unidirectional interplay are commonly studied in MASLD. However, the bidirectional communication between innate and adaptive immune systems and its impact on MASLD remain insufficiently understood. Given that both innate and adaptive immune cells are indispensable for the development and progression of inflammation in MASLD, elucidating pathogenic contributions stemming from the bidirectional interplay between these two arms holds potential for development of novel therapeutics for MASLD. Here, we review the immune cell types and bidirectional pathways that influence the pathogenesis of MASLD and highlight potential pharmacologic approaches to combat MASLD based on current knowledge of this bidirectional crosstalk.

Short-, Mid-, and Long-Term Efficacy of Deucravacitinib Versus Biologics and Nonbiologics for Plaque Psoriasis: A Network Meta-Analysis. Dermatol Ther (Heidelb) 2023; 13:2839-2857. [PMID: 37801281 PMCID: PMC10613195 DOI: 10.1007/s13555-023-01034-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/20/2023] [Accepted: 09/08/2023] [Indexed: 10/07/2023] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Deucravacitinib, a newly approved oral medication for the treatment of patients with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis, demonstrated efficacy versus apremilast and placebo in two phase 3 randomized controlled trials (RCTs). A systematic review and network meta-analysis (NMA) indirectly compared deucravacitinib with other relevant systemic biologic/nonbiologic treatments. METHODS Online databases were searched for RCTs published through October 2021. Eligible studies were head-to-head comparisons between systemic therapies and/or placebo reporting 50%, 75%, 90%, or 100% improvement in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) from baseline in adults with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. Comparisons included tumor necrosis factor inhibitors, interleukin (IL)-17, IL-23, and IL 12/23 inhibitors, and systemic nonbiologics. A multinomial Bayesian NMA was used to derive estimates of the relative efficacy of deucravacitinib and other systemic therapies. Response probabilities for each treatment and corresponding 95% credible intervals (CrIs) for achieving a PASI response were calculated over short-, mid-, and long-term follow-up (weeks 10-16, 24-28, and 44-60). RESULTS The NMA included 47 RCTs. Deucravacitinib showed the highest PASI 75 response rates among nonbiologic systemic therapies across time points. Deucravacitinib PASI 75 response rate (95% CrI) over short-term follow-up was 54.1% (46.5-61.6), within the range of first-generation biologics (etanercept, 39.7% [31.6-48.3]; infliximab, 79.0% [74.0-83.5]). At mid-term follow-up, deucravacitinib PASI 75 increased to 63.3% (58.0-68.4). At long-term follow-up, deucravacitinib PASI 75 was 65.9% (58.0-73.4), comparable to first-generation biologics adalimumab (62.8%; 55.3-69.6) and ustekinumab (68.0%; 64.6-71.5). CONCLUSIONS Patients receiving deucravacitinib were more likely to achieve PASI 75 response versus apremilast and methotrexate across all time points. The long-term PASI 75 response rate for deucravacitinib was similar to those of adalimumab and ustekinumab. The approval of deucravacitinib offers patients the choice of an oral therapy with long-term efficacy similar to that of some biologics.

Abstract
Psoriasis is a common, debilitating immune-mediated skin disease. Genetic studies have identified biological mechanisms of psoriasis risk, including those targeted by effective therapies. However, the genetic liability to psoriasis is not fully explained by variation at robustly identified risk loci. To move towards a saturation map of psoriasis susceptibility we meta-analysed 18 GWAS comprising 36,466 cases and 458,078 controls and identified 109 distinct psoriasis susceptibility loci, including 45 that have not been previously reported. These include susceptibility variants at loci in which the therapeutic targets IL17RA and AHR are encoded, and deleterious coding variants supporting potential new drug targets (including in STAP2, CPVL and POU2F3). We conducted a transcriptome-wide association study to identify regulatory effects of psoriasis susceptibility variants and cross-referenced these against single cell expression profiles in psoriasis-affected skin, highlighting roles for the transcriptional regulation of haematopoietic cell development and epigenetic modulation of interferon signalling in psoriasis pathobiology.

Abstract
Psoriasis is a chronic disease that is caused by multiple factors and is identified by itchiness, unpleasant, red, or white scaly patches on the skin, particularly on regularly chafed body regions such as the lateral areas of the limbs. Reports suggest that globally around 2%-3% of the population suffers from psoriasis. In this review, we have discussed the clinical classification of psoriasis and also the ideal characteristics of the biomarkers. An overview regarding the discovery of the biomarker and method for validating the study has been discussed. A growing body of research suggests a link to certain other systemic symptoms such as cardiovascular disorder, metabolic syndrome, and few other comorbidities such as hypertension and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. Natural killer (NK) cells are lymphocyte cells that concentrate on the destruction of virally infected and malignant cells; these tend to produce a wide range of inflammatory cytokines, some of which are associated with the etiology of psoriasis. Detailed information on the molecular pathogenesis of psoriasis in which interleukin (IL)-17, IL-23, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and CCL20 play a very significant role in the development of psoriasis. In this review, we have discussed an overview of the recent state of the biomarkers available for the diagnosis and treatment of psoriasis by emphasizing on the available biomarkers such as epigenomic, transcriptomic, glycomic, and metabolomic. The most recent advancements in molecular-targeted therapy utilizing biologics and oral systemic therapy (methotrexate, apremilast) enable to adequately treat the most serious psoriatic symptoms and also the studies have validated the efficacy of biologic therapy such as TNF-α antagonist (infliximab, adalimumab), IL-23 antagonist (guselkumab, risankizumab), and IL-17 antagonist (secukinumab, ixekizumab). Finally, an overview about the technological opportunities as well as various challenges has been discussed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Psoriasis is an immune-mediated disease with either skin or joints manifestations, or both, and it has a major impact on quality of life. Although there is currently no cure for psoriasis, various treatment strategies allow sustained control of disease signs and symptoms. The relative benefit of these treatments remains unclear due to the limited number of trials comparing them directly head-to-head, which is why we chose to conduct a network meta-analysis. OBJECTIVES To compare the benefits and harms of non-biological systemic agents, small molecules, and biologics for people with moderate-to-severe psoriasis using a network meta-analysis, and to provide a ranking of these treatments according to their benefits and harms. SEARCH METHODS For this update of the living systematic review, we updated our searches of the following databases monthly to October 2022: the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), MEDLINE, and Embase. SELECTION CRITERIA Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) of systemic treatments in adults over 18 years with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis, at any stage of treatment, compared to placebo or another active agent. The primary outcomes were: proportion of participants who achieved clear or almost clear skin, that is, at least Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) 90; proportion of participants with serious adverse events (SAEs) at induction phase (8 to 24 weeks after randomisation). DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS We conducted duplicate study selection, data extraction, risk of bias assessment, and analyses. We synthesised data using pairwise and network meta-analysis (NMA) to compare treatments and rank them according to effectiveness (PASI 90 score) and acceptability (inverse of SAEs). We assessed the certainty of NMA evidence for the two primary outcomes and all comparisons using CINeMA, as very low, low, moderate, or high. We contacted study authors when data were unclear or missing. We used the surface under the cumulative ranking curve (SUCRA) to infer treatment hierarchy, from 0% (worst for effectiveness or safety) to 100% (best for effectiveness or safety). MAIN RESULTS This update includes an additional 12 studies, taking the total number of included studies to 179, and randomised participants to 62,339, 67.1% men, mainly recruited from hospitals. Average age was 44.6 years, mean PASI score at baseline was 20.4 (range: 9.5 to 39). Most studies were placebo-controlled (56%). We assessed a total of 20 treatments. Most (152) trials were multicentric (two to 231 centres). One-third of the studies (65/179) had high risk of bias, 24 unclear risk, and most (90) low risk. Most studies (138/179) declared funding by a pharmaceutical company, and 24 studies did not report a funding source. Network meta-analysis at class level showed that all interventions (non-biological systemic agents, small molecules, and biological treatments) showed a higher proportion of patients reaching PASI 90 than placebo. Anti-IL17 treatment showed a higher proportion of patients reaching PASI 90 compared to all the interventions. Biologic treatments anti-IL17, anti-IL12/23, anti-IL23, and anti-TNF alpha showed a higher proportion of patients reaching PASI 90 than the non-biological systemic agents. For reaching PASI 90, the most effective drugs when compared to placebo were (SUCRA rank order, all high-certainty evidence): infliximab (risk ratio (RR) 49.16, 95% CI 20.49 to 117.95), bimekizumab (RR 27.86, 95% CI 23.56 to 32.94), ixekizumab (RR 27.35, 95% CI 23.15 to 32.29), risankizumab (RR 26.16, 95% CI 22.03 to 31.07). Clinical effectiveness of these drugs was similar when compared against each other. Bimekizumab and ixekizumab were significantly more likely to reach PASI 90 than secukinumab. Bimekizumab, ixekizumab, and risankizumab were significantly more likely to reach PASI 90 than brodalumab and guselkumab. Infliximab, anti-IL17 drugs (bimekizumab, ixekizumab, secukinumab, and brodalumab), and anti-IL23 drugs except tildrakizumab were significantly more likely to reach PASI 90 than ustekinumab, three anti-TNF alpha agents, and deucravacitinib. Ustekinumab was superior to certolizumab. Adalimumab, tildrakizumab, and ustekinumab were superior to etanercept. No significant difference was shown between apremilast and two non-biological drugs: ciclosporin and methotrexate. We found no significant difference between any of the interventions and the placebo for the risk of SAEs. The risk of SAEs was significantly lower for participants on methotrexate compared with most of the interventions. Nevertheless, the SAE analyses were based on a very low number of events with very low- to moderate-certainty evidence for all the comparisons. The findings therefore have to be viewed with caution. For other efficacy outcomes (PASI 75 and Physician Global Assessment (PGA) 0/1), the results were similar to the results for PASI 90. Information on quality of life was often poorly reported and was absent for several of the interventions. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS Our review shows that, compared to placebo, the biologics infliximab, bimekizumab, ixekizumab, and risankizumab were the most effective treatments for achieving PASI 90 in people with moderate-to-severe psoriasis on the basis of high-certainty evidence. This NMA evidence is limited to induction therapy (outcomes measured from 8 to 24 weeks after randomisation), and is not sufficient for evaluating longer-term outcomes in this chronic disease. Moreover, we found low numbers of studies for some of the interventions, and the young age (mean 44.6 years) and high level of disease severity (PASI 20.4 at baseline) may not be typical of patients seen in daily clinical practice. We found no significant difference in the assessed interventions and placebo in terms of SAEs, and the safety evidence for most interventions was very low to moderate quality. More randomised trials directly comparing active agents are needed, and these should include systematic subgroup analyses (sex, age, ethnicity, comorbidities, psoriatic arthritis). To provide long-term information on the safety of treatments included in this review, an evaluation of non-randomised studies is needed. Editorial note: This is a living systematic review. Living systematic reviews offer a new approach to review updating, in which the review is continually updated, incorporating relevant new evidence as it becomes available. Please refer to the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews for the current status of this review.

Abstract
The PDE4 enzyme family is specifically responsible for hydrolyzing cAMP and plays a vital role in regulating the balance of second messengers. As a crucial regulator in signal transduction, PDE4 has displayed promising pharmacological targets in a variety of diseases, for which its inhibitors have been used as a therapeutic strategy. This review provides a comprehensive summary of the development of PDE4 inhibitors in the past few years, along with the structure, clinical and research progress of multiple inhibitors of PDE4, focusing on the research and development strategies of PDE4 inhibitors. We hope our analysis will provide a significant reference for the future development of new PDE4 inhibitors.

Abstract
(1) Introduction: Psoriasis is a chronic, immune-mediated disease that negatively impacts patients' quality of life and predisposes them to cardiovascular or metabolic diseases. This paper aims to summarize the knowledge structure and future directions in psoriasis research by means of bibliometrics. (2) Material and methods: The Thomson Reuters Web of Science database was interrogated using preestablished keywords. A list of the top 100 most cited articles focusing solely on psoriasis was compiled and analyzed. VOSviewer software was used to assess and visualize collaboration networks, citation, co-citation and co-wording analysis, and bibliographic coupling. (3) Results: The articles were written by 902 authors from 20 countries and were published in 31 journals. The United States was at the forefront of this field. Griffiths, CEM had the most citations, while the most prolific institution was Rockefeller University, New York City. Pathogenesis, especially key-pathogenic factors, immune pathways, and epidemiology were the most discussed topics. Work published in the last decade focused on the use of biologics. Keywords such as "quality of life", "efficacy", and "necrosis-factor alpha" have been widely used. (4) Conclusion: Research interest regarding psoriasis is high, leading to the rapid development of this field. Treatment modalities, especially novel-targeted therapies, immune pathways, and an integrative approach to such cases are receiving great interest and represent research hotspots in the future.

Abstract
Steroid resistance represents a major clinical problem in the treatment of severe asthma, and therefore a better understanding of its pathogenesis is warranted. Recent studies indicated that histone deacetylase 2 (HDAC2) and interleukin 17A (IL-17A) play important roles in severe asthma. HDAC2 activity is reduced in patients with severe asthma and smoking-induced asthma, perhaps accounting for the amplified expression of inflammatory genes, which is associated with increased acetylation of glucocorticoid receptors. Neutrophilic inflammation contributes to severe asthma and may be related to T helper (Th) 17 rather than Th2 cytokines. IL-17A levels are elevated in severe asthma and correlate with the presence of neutrophils. Restoring the activity of HDAC2 or targeting the Th17 signaling pathway is a potential therapeutic approach to reverse steroid insensitivity.

Abstract
Psoriasis is a common chronic inflammatory skin disease, associated with substantial comorbidity. TH17 lymphocytes, differentiating under the influence of dendritic cell-derived IL-23, and mediating their effects via IL-17A, are believed to be central effector cells in psoriasis. This concept is underlined by the unprecedented efficacy of therapeutics targeting this pathogenetic axis. In recent years, numerous observations made it necessary to revisit and refine this simple "linear" pathogenetic model. It became evident that IL-23 independent cells exist that produce IL-17A, that IL-17 homologues may exhibit synergistic biological effects, and that the blockade of IL-17A alone is clinically less effective compared to the inhibition of several IL-17 homologues. In this review, we will summarize the current knowledge around IL-17A and its five currently known homologues, namely IL-17B, IL-17C, IL-17D, IL-17E (also known as IL-25) and IL-17F, in relation to skin inflammation in general and psoriasis in particular. We will also re-visit the above-mentioned observations and integrate them into a more comprehensive pathogenetic model. This may help to appreciate current as well as developing anti-psoriatic therapies and to prioritize the selection of future drugs' mode(s) of action.

Abstract
Brodalumab is a recombinant, fully human immunoglobulin IgG2 monoclonal antibody specifically targeted against interleukin-17RA that has been approved for the treatment of moderate-to-severe psoriasis in Europe. We developed a Delphi consensus document focused on brodalumab for the treatment of moderate-to-severe psoriasis. Based on published literature and their clinical experience a steering committee drafted 17 statements covering 7 domains specific to the treatment of moderate-to-severe psoriasis with brodalumab. A panel of 32 Italian dermatologists indicated their level of agreement using a 5-point Likert scale (from 1 = "strongly disagree" to 5 = "strongly agree") using an online modified Delphi method. After the first round of voting (32 participants), positive consensus was reached for 15/17 (88.2%) of the proposed statements. Following a face-to-face virtual meeting, the steering committee decided that 5 statements would form "main principles" and 10 statements formed the final list. After a second round of voting, consensus was reached in 4/5 (80%) of the main principles and 8/10 (80%) for consensus statements. The final list of 5 main principles and 10 consensus statements identify key indications specific to the use of brodalumab in the treatment of moderate-to-severe psoriasis in Italy. These statements aid dermatologists in the management of patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis.

Brodalumab in plaque psoriasis: Real-world data on effectiveness, safety and clinical predictive factors of initial response and drug survival over a period of 104 weeks. J Eur Acad Dermatol Venereol 2023; 37:689-697. [PMID: 36562663 DOI: 10.1111/jdv.18825] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/24/2022] [Accepted: 11/21/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Brodalumab, a fully human IgG2k antibody blocking the receptor of IL17, is characterized by a rapid onset of action with high skin clearance rates in clinical trials. Since setting PASI90/100 or absolute PASI ≤ 3 as treatment goals have become attainable, evaluating the effectiveness and safety profile of biologic agents, such as brodalumab, in a real-world setting is essential. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness and safety profile of brodalumab over a period of 104 weeks in everyday practice. Clinical predictive factors of initial (week 12/16) response to treatment and long-term drug survival were also investigated. METHODS In this monocentric, retrospective study, PASI90/100 and absolute PASI ≤ 1/3 were assessed in 91 patients with moderate-to-severe skin psoriasis under brodalumab at weeks 12/16, 24, 52 and 104 of treatment. At week 12/16, patients with an absolute PASI ≤ 3 were defined as 'initial responders' and ≤1 as 'super-responders'. Clinical parameters, such as age, gender, BMI, comorbidities and previous systemic treatment, were assessed in order to predict 'super-responders'. Drug survival and its prognostic factors were also evaluated. RESULTS PASI90/100 has reached 81.1/66.0% in week 12/16. This response rate increased at week 104, where 87.1/80.7% had PASI90/100 and 84.9% had absolute PASI ≤ 1. The presence of >3 comorbidities, prior treatment with >2 systemic agents and obesity tended to be negative predictive factors of 'super-response'. Previous exposure to IL17 inhibitors had no impact on both PASI < 1 and PASI < 3 initial response. One- and two-year drug survival probability was 87.6% and 77.32%, respectively. 'Initial responders' and anti-IL17 drug-naïve patients had better drug survival. Drug discontinuation occurred in 24.2%, mostly due to secondary failure, and arthralgia was the most common adverse event that led to discontinuation. CONCLUSIONS Our study confirms the high effectiveness and good safety profile of brodalumab in the real-world setting.

Impact of targeted therapies on the risk of cardiovascular events in patients with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis: A systematic review and aggregate data meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. Int J Rheum Dis 2023; 26:625-637. [PMID: 36760030 DOI: 10.1111/1756-185x.14603] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2022] [Revised: 12/10/2022] [Accepted: 01/25/2023] [Indexed: 02/11/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE We aimed to investigate the effect of targeted therapies on cardiovascular risk in psoriasis (PsO) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) via a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs). METHODS Pubmed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Scopus were searched for RCTs reporting targeted therapies in patients with PsO/PsA published until 28 October 2021. The primary and secondary outcomes included the relationship between targeted therapies and all cardiovascular events (CVEs), major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs), myocardial infarction (MI), heart failure, and stroke in PsO/PsA. The outcome risk ratios (RRs) were calculated using the Mantel-Haenszel fixed-effect method. RESULTS A total of 81 articles involving 88 RCTs were included. There was no statistically significant difference regarding the occurrence of all CVEs for all targeted therapies (RR = 1.03, 95% CI 0.74-1.43, P = .85) compared to placebo in PsO/PsA. No statistically significant difference existed between drugs and placebo in patients with PsA on all CVEs (RR = 0.81, 95% CI 0.48-1.36, P = .43). Surprisingly, the incidence of all CVEs was higher in the low dosage group compared to the high dosage group of all targeted therapies (RR = 1.97, 95% CI 1.19-3.27, P = .008) and prominently anti-interleukin-17 agent (RR = 2.20, 95% CI 1.05-4.58, P = .04). CONCLUSION Current targeted therapies are not associated with the risk of CVEs. Based on the existing evidence, we reported here that a dosage reduction of targeted therapies was not recommended.

Abstract
Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease with a high prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CVD), obesity, dyslipidemia, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and metabolic syndrome. Among them, CVD is the most common cause of morbidity and mortality in psoriasis patients. Since CVD is associated with considerable morbidity and mortality, primary care clinicians are increasingly committed to reducing the risk of CVD in patients with psoriasis. Biologics targeting TNF-α, IL-12/23, and IL-17 are systemic therapies that can dramatically improve the condition of psoriasis. Recent studies have reported that these inflammatory cytokine signals may promote atherosclerosis, suggesting that biologics might be effective for improving psoriasis as well as reducing the risk of CVD. Here, we reviewed cardiovascular risk in psoriasis patients, the association between psoriatic inflammation and atherosclerosis, and the efficacy of biologics for reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Safe and effective pharmacological treatment is of paramount importance for treating severe psoriasis. Brodalumab, a monoclonal antibody against interleukin (IL) 17 receptor A, was granted marketing authorisation in the EU in 2017. The European Medicines Agency requested a postauthorisation safety study of brodalumab to address potential safety issues raised during drug development regarding major adverse cardiovascular events, suicidal conduct, cancer and serious infections. METHODS AND ANALYSIS BRodalumab Assessment of Hazards: A Multinational Safety is a multicentre observational safety study of brodalumab running from 2017 to 2029 using population-based healthcare databases from Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Netherlands, Germany and three different centres in Italy. A distributed database network approach is used, such that only aggregate data are exchanged between sites.Two types of designs are used: a case-time-control design to study acute effects of transient treatment and a variation of the new user active comparator design to study the effects of transient or chronic treatment. As comparators, inhibitors of TNF-α, inhibitors of IL-12 and IL-23, and other inhibitors of cytokine IL-17A are included.In the self-controlled case-time-control design, the risk of developing the outcome of interest during periods of brodalumab use is compared within individuals to the risk in periods without use.In the active comparator cohort design, new users of brodalumab are identified and matched to new users of active comparators. Potential baseline confounders are adjusted for by using propensity score modelling. For outcomes that potentially require large cumulative exposure, an adapted active comparator design has been developed. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION The study is approved by relevant authorities in Denmark, Norway, Sweden, the Netherlands, Germany and Italy in line with the relevant legislation at each site. Data confidentiality is secured by the distributed network approach. Results will be published in peer-reviewed journals. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER EUPAS30280.

Abstract
T helper 17 (Th17) cells represent a specialized subgroup of effector CD4+ T cells known for their role in provoking neutrophil-driven tissue inflammation, particularly within mucosal tissues. Although they are pivotal for defending the host against extracellular bacteria and fungi, they have also been associated with development of various T cell-mediated inflammatory conditions, autoimmune diseases, and even cancer. Notably, Th17 cells exhibit a dual nature, with different Th17 cell subtypes showcasing distinct effector functions and varying capacities to incite autoimmune tissue inflammation. Furthermore, Th17 cells exhibit significant plasticity, which carries important functional implications, both in terms of their expression of cytokines typically associated with other effector T cell subsets and in their interactions with regulatory CD4+ T cells. The intricate balance of Th17 cytokines can also be a double-edged sword in inflammation, autoimmunity, and cancer. Within this article, we delve into the mechanisms that govern the differentiation, function, and adaptability of Th17 cells. We culminate with an exploration of therapeutic potentials in harnessing the power of Th17 cells and their cytokines. Targeted interventions to modulate Th17 responses are emerging as promising strategies for autoimmunity, inflammation, and cancer treatment. By precisely fine-tuning Th17-related pathways, we may unlock new avenues for personalized therapeutic approaches, aiming to restore immune balance, alleviate the challenges of these disorders, and ultimately enhance the quality of life for individuals affected by them.

Abstract
The term "axial spondyloarthritis" (axSpA) refers to a group of chronic rheumatic diseases that predominantly involve the axial skeleton and consist of ankylosing spondylitis, reactive arthritis, arthritis/spondylitis associated with psoriasis (PsA) and arthritis/spondylitis associated with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). Moreover, pain is an important and common symptom of axSpA. It may progress to chronic pain, a more complicated bio-psychosocial phenomena, leading to a significant worsening of quality of life. The development of the axSpA inflammatory process is grounded in the complex interaction between genetic (such as HLA B27), epigenetic, and environmental factors associated with a dysregulated immune response. Considering the pivotal contribution of IL-23 and IL-17 in axSpA inflammation, the inhibition of these cytokines has been evaluated as a potential therapeutic strategy. With this context, here we discuss the main pathogenetic mechanisms, therapeutic approaches and the role of pain in axSpA from the 2022 International GISEA/OEG Symposium.

A shared tissue transcriptome signature and pathways in psoriasis and ulcerative colitis. Sci Rep 2022; 12:19740.

Abstract
Despite multiple efficacious therapies in common between psoriasis (PS) and Ulcerative Colitis (UC), mechanisms underlying their common pathophysiology remain largely unclear. Here we sought to establish a link by evaluating expression differences and pathway alterations in diseased tissues. We identified two sets of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between lesional and nonlesional tissues in meta-analyses of data collected from baseline samples in 3 UC and then 3 PS available clinical studies from Pfizer. A shared gene signature was defined by 190 DEGs common to both diseases. Commonly dysregulated pathways identified via enrichment analysis include interferon signaling, partly driven by genes IFI6, CXCL9, CXCL10 and CXCL11, which may attract chemotaxis of Th1 cells to inflammatory sites; IL-23 pathway (IL-23A, CCL20, PI3, CXCL1, LCN2); and Th17 pathway except IL-17A. Elevated expression of costimulatory molecules ICOS and CTLA4 suggests ongoing T-cell activation in both diseases. The clinical value of the shared signature is demonstrated by a gene set improvement score reflecting post-treatment molecular improvement for each disease. This is the first study using transcriptomic meta-analysis to define a tissue gene signature and pathways dysregulated in both PS and UC. These findings suggest immune mechanisms may initiate and sustain inflammation similarly in the two diseases.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Real-world data are limited comparing Asian and White patients with psoriasis using biologic therapy. This study compared the 6-month effectiveness of biologic therapy between Asian and White plaque patients with psoriasis in the CorEvitas Psoriasis Registry. METHODS Analyses included biologic initiations and 6-month follow-up visits from self-identified Asian (n = 293) and White (n = 2314) patients in the USA/Canada (4/2015-4/2020). Outcomes included: Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI) 75, disease activity measures [body surface area (BSA) ≤ 1, BSA ≤ 3, PASI90, PASI100, Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) 0/1], and patient-reported outcomes [Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) 0/1, itch, fatigue, skin pain, EuroQoL visual analog scale (EQ-VAS), patient global assessment, Work Productivity Activity and Impairment (WPAI) domains]. Unadjusted regression models were used to calculate odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for achievement of binary outcomes and difference in mean change in continuous outcomes (β, 95% CI) at 6 months, followed by adjustment for age, sex, body mass index, alcohol, smoking, health insurance, education, comorbidities, scalp psoriasis morphology, psoriatic arthritis, biologic class, previous biologics, and baseline outcome value. RESULTS Asians had lower proportions of women (32.8% versus 49.1%) and obesity (27.3% versus 54.5%), and higher proportions on Medicaid (19.9% versus 8.8%), graduated college (50.9% versus 40.1%) and never smoked (67.1% versus 44.1%). In unadjusted analyses, Asians had 52% higher odds of achieving PASI75 versus White patients (OR 1.52; 95% CI 1.15, 2.02). After adjustment, the association was attenuated (OR 1.11; 0.81, 1.52). Secondary outcomes experienced similar patterns except for DLQI: Asians had 33% lower odds of achieving DLQI 0/1 in both the unadjusted (OR 0.67; 0.50, 0.90) and adjusted (OR 0.67; 0.49, 0.92) models. CONCLUSION Unadjusted differences in biologic therapy effectiveness between Asians compared with White patients were likely explained by differences in demographic, lifestyle, and psoriatic disease characteristics between groups. However, Asians still experienced lesser improvements in skin-related quality of life, even after adjustment.

Abstract
Secukinumab is an anti-interleukin (IL)-17A IgG1-κ monoclonal antibody approved for psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis. Its efficacy is well documented, but the complete safety profile of secukinumab, especially on long-term use, needs to be studied. IL-17 inhibitors increase the risk of infections, especially respiratory tract infections and candidiasis, and inflammatory bowel disease; the causal relationships are well described. However, evidence regarding the other adverse events is scarce, and causal associations between the adverse events and the biologic remain unresolved. This review aims to present a narrative perspective on the safety of secukinumab and identify some key areas where the safety of secukinumab may potentially be useful in understanding the scope of secukinumab therapy and making informed clinical decisions.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and cardiovascular risk factors are the leading cause of death in the world today. According to the Global Burden of Disease Study, hypertension together with ischemic heart and cerebrovascular diseases is responsible for approximately 40% of all deaths worldwide. The major pathomechanism underlying almost all CVD is atherosclerosis, an inflammatory disorder of the vascular system. Recent large-scale clinical trials demonstrated that inflammation itself is an independent cardiovascular risk factor. Specific anti-inflammatory therapy could decrease cardiovascular mortality in patients with atherosclerosis (increased markers of inflammation). Inflammation, however, can also be beneficial by conferring so-called resolution, a process that contributes to clearing damaged tissue from cell debris upon cell death and thereby represents an essential step for recovery from, e.g., ischemia/reperfusion damage. Based on these considerations, the present review highlights features of the detrimental inflammatory reactions as well as of the beneficial process of immune cell-triggered resolution. In this context, we discuss the polarization of macrophages to either M1 or M2 phenotype and critically assess the role of the CD40L-CD40-TRAF signaling cascade in atherosclerosis and its potential link to resolution. As CD40L can bind to different cellular receptors, it can initiate a broad range of inflammatory processes that may be detrimental or beneficial. Likewise, the signaling of CD40L downstream of CD40 is mainly determined by activation of TRAF1-6 pathways that again can be detrimental or beneficial. Accordingly, CD40(L)-based therapies may be Janus-faced and require sophisticated fine-tuning in order to promote cardioprotection.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Psoriatic arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis belong to a family of rheumatological diseases that lead to painful joint inflammation that impacts on patient function and quality of life. Recent studies have shown that the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-17 is involved in the inflammatory joint changes in spondyloarthritides. We will review the pathophysiology of IL-17 and review the biological therapies targeting IL-17. RECENT FINDINGS IL-17 is produced and released from T cells and is dependent on multiple upstream cytokines, which include IL-23. There are six members of the IL-17 family that are secreted from multiple populations of T cells. The initial biologic medications have been developed against IL-17A, which is the best-studied member of this family. These medications appear to be effective in controlling joint inflammation, improving patient quality of life, and are generally well tolerated. More recently, medications have been developed that target both IL-17A and IL-17F. In addition, brodalumab, an antibody targeting the IL-17 receptor, has had a resurgence after initial concerns for an increased risk of suicide. IL-17 is an inflammatory cytokine that is critical in the pathobiology of axial spondyloarthritides. Recent biological therapies targeting IL-17A are effective and well tolerated in patients with axial spondyloarthritis. Specific targeting of the Il-17A/F heterodimer is also effective and provides another viable option in the clinician's armamentarium.

Abstract
Psoriasis poses a substantial economic burden by reducing the work productivity of affected patients. We aimed to evaluate the negative impact of plaque psoriasis on work productivity and effectiveness of brodalumab in improving work productivity impairment in real-life employed patients. This analysis was conducted in employed patients from ProLOGUE, an open-label, multicenter, prospective cohort study (Japan Registry of Clinical Trials identifier: jRCTs031180037). Outcomes included association of Work Productivity and Activity Impairment-Psoriasis (WPAI-PSO) domain scores with scores from various patient-reported outcome measures or Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) scores at baseline. Change from baseline in WPAI-PSO domain scores following brodalumab treatment was also evaluated. Of the 73 patients enrolled, 51, 48, and 40 patients were considered employed at baseline, Week 12, and Week 48 of brodalumab treatment, respectively. In the model adjusted by age and sex, the work productivity loss score correlated with the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI), itch Numeric Rating Scale (NRS), Patient Health Questionnaire-8 (PHQ-8), and skin pain NRS scores (partial Spearman correlation coefficient [ρ] = 0.608, 0.510, 0.461, and 0.424, respectively); presenteeism score correlated with the DLQI, itch NRS, and skin pain NRS scores (ρ = 0.568, 0.500, and 0.403, respectively); and activity impairment score correlated with the DLQI and PHQ-8 scores (ρ = 0.530 and 0.414, respectively). None of the WPAI-PSO domain scores correlated with the PASI score. All WPAI-PSO domain scores (except absenteeism) significantly reduced from baseline to Weeks 12 (p < 0.0001) and 48 (p < 0.001) with brodalumab treatment. In conclusion, work productivity impairment in psoriasis was associated with various subjective symptoms that can be captured using patient-reported outcome measures. Brodalumab treatment improved work productivity in real-life employed patients with plaque psoriasis.

Abstract
Chronic pain remains to be a clinical challenge and is recognized as a major health problem with varying impacts on quality of life. Currently, the first-line therapy for chronic pain is opioids, which are often accompanied by unwanted psychoactive side effects. Thus, new and effective treatments for chronic pain are urgently needed and eagerly pursued. Inflammatory cytokines, especially interleukin-17 (IL-17), are reportedly potential therapeutic targets owing to their pivotal role in chronic pain from the neuroinflammation perspective. Recently, substantial evidence confirmed that IL-17 and IL-17 receptors (IL-17Rs) were increased in neuropathic, inflammatory, and cancer pain models. Notably, IL-17/IL-17R antibodies also reportedly relieve or cure inflammatory- and pain-related diseases. However, existing studies have reported controversial results regarding IL-17/IL-17Rs as potential therapeutic targets in diverse animal models of chronic pain. In this review, we present a summary of published studies and discuss the evidence, from basic to clinical to research, regarding the role and mechanism of action between IL-17 and diverse kinds of chronic pain in animal models and clinical patients. Furthermore, we evaluated IL-17-based therapy as a potential therapeutic strategy for inflammatory- and pain-related disease. Importantly, we also discussed clinical trials of IL-17/IL-17R targeting monoclonal antibodies. Overall, we found that IL-17 is a potential therapeutic target for chronic pain from the perspective of neuroinflammation.

Abstract
Psoriasis is a common, chronic immune-mediated systemic disease that had no effective and durable treatment. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have immunomodulatory properties. Therefore, we performed a phase 1/2a, single-arm clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of human umbilical cord-derived MSCs (UMSCs) in the treatment of psoriasis and to preliminarily explore the possible mechanisms. Seventeen patients with psoriasis were enrolled and received UMSC infusions. Adverse events, laboratory parameters, PASI, and PGA were analyzed. We did not observe obvious side effects during the treatment and 6-month follow-up. A total of 47.1% (8/17) of the psoriasis patients had at least 40% improvement in the PASI score, and 17.6% (3/17) had no sign of disease or minimal disease based on the PGA score. And the efficiency was 25% (2/8) for males and 66.7% (6/9) for females. After UMSC transplantation (UMSCT), the frequencies of Tregs and CD4+ memory T cells were significantly increased, and the frequencies of T helper (Th) 17 and CD4+ naive T cells were significantly decreased in peripheral blood (PB) of psoriasis patients. And all responders showed significant increases in Tregs and CD4+ memory T cells, and significant decreases in Th17 cells and serum IL-17 level after UMSCT. And baseline level of Tregs in responders were significantly lower than those in nonresponders. In conclusion, allogeneic UMSCT is safe and partially effective in psoriasis patients, and level of Tregs may be used as a potent biomarker to predict the clinical efficacy of UMSCT. Trial registration Clinical Trials NCT03765957.

Abstract
Importance Given the possible treatment modalities in psoriasis management, little is known about whether drug monitoring is associated with response rate. Objective To determine whether drug monitoring is associated with response to brodalumab therapy. Design A multicenter case series study of patients with psoriasis treated with brodalumab whose treatment with previous IL-17A inhibitor therapy failed. Patients were recruited from the Departments of Dermatology at Gentofte and Aarhus University Hospitals, Denmark, between 2018 and 2020. Patient visits were conducted after 4 and 12 weeks of therapy. Patients not achieving Psoriasis Area and Severity Index 75% improvement from baseline (PASI 75) after 12 weeks were discontinued and considered nonresponders. Patients maintaining PASI 75 response were followed up for up to 52 weeks. Exposure Treatment with brodalumab, 210 mg, at weeks 0, 1, 2, then every 2 weeks. Main Outcomes and Measures Outcome measures were PASI reductions vs brodalumab levels and antibrodalumab antibodies. Results Twenty patients with psoriasis (13 [65%] were male; median age, 50 years [range, 19-66 years]) were included. After 12 weeks of therapy, patients with quantifiable levels of brodalumab (≥0.05 μg/mL) experienced significantly higher PASI reductions than those without (median, 93%; range, 61%-100% vs median, -3; range, -49% to 94%, respectively; P = .006). After 12 weeks of therapy, 4 of 5 patients (80%) not achieving PASI 75 had subquantifiable drug levels (<0.05 μg/mL), although this finding was seen for only 3 of 14 PASI 75 responders (21%). None of 7 patients (35%) with subquantifiable drug levels after 12 weeks of therapy maintained response. No antibrodalumab antibodies were detected in any of the tested samples. Conclusions and Relevance Results of this case series study suggest that circulating brodalumab level is a factor associated with clinical treatment response. Monitoring patient levels of circulating brodalumab may aid clinical decision-making and help prevent ineffective therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Psoriasis is an immune-mediated disease with either skin or joints manifestations, or both, and it has a major impact on quality of life. Although there is currently no cure for psoriasis, various treatment strategies allow sustained control of disease signs and symptoms. The relative benefit of these treatments remains unclear due to the limited number of trials comparing them directly head-to-head, which is why we chose to conduct a network meta-analysis. OBJECTIVES To compare the efficacy and safety of non-biological systemic agents, small molecules, and biologics for people with moderate-to-severe psoriasis using a network meta-analysis, and to provide a ranking of these treatments according to their efficacy and safety. SEARCH METHODS For this update of the living systematic review, we updated our searches of the following databases monthly to October 2021: the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), MEDLINE, and Embase. SELECTION CRITERIA Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) of systemic treatments in adults over 18 years with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis, at any stage of treatment, compared to placebo or another active agent. The primary outcomes were: proportion of participants who achieved clear or almost clear skin, that is, at least Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) 90; proportion of participants with serious adverse events (SAEs) at induction phase (8 to 24 weeks after randomisation). DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS We conducted duplicate study selection, data extraction, risk of bias assessment and analyses. We synthesised data using pairwise and network meta-analysis (NMA) to compare treatments and rank them according to effectiveness (PASI 90 score) and acceptability (inverse of SAEs). We assessed the certainty of NMA evidence for the two primary outcomes and all comparisons using CINeMA, as very low, low, moderate, or high. We contacted study authors when data were unclear or missing. We used the surface under the cumulative ranking curve (SUCRA) to infer treatment hierarchy, from 0% (worst for effectiveness or safety) to 100% (best for effectiveness or safety). MAIN RESULTS This update includes an additional 19 studies, taking the total number of included studies to 167, and randomised participants to 58,912, 67.2% men, mainly recruited from hospitals. Average age was 44.5 years, mean PASI score at baseline was 20.4 (range: 9.5 to 39). Most studies were placebo-controlled (57%). We assessed a total of 20 treatments. Most (140) trials were multicentric (two to 231 centres). One-third of the studies (57/167) had high risk of bias; 23 unclear risk, and most (87) low risk. Most studies (127/167) declared funding by a pharmaceutical company, and 24 studies did not report a funding source. Network meta-analysis at class level showed that all interventions (non-biological systemic agents, small molecules, and biological treatments) showed a higher proportion of patients reaching PASI 90 than placebo. Anti-IL17 treatment showed a higher proportion of patients reaching PASI 90 compared to all the interventions, except anti-IL23. Biologic treatments anti-IL17, anti-IL12/23, anti-IL23 and anti-TNF alpha showed a higher proportion of patients reaching PASI 90 than the non-biological systemic agents. For reaching PASI 90, the most effective drugs when compared to placebo were (SUCRA rank order, all high-certainty evidence): infliximab (risk ratio (RR) 50.19, 95% CI 20.92 to 120.45), bimekizumab (RR 30.27, 95% CI 25.45 to 36.01), ixekizumab (RR 30.19, 95% CI 25.38 to 35.93), risankizumab (RR 28.75, 95% CI 24.03 to 34.39). Clinical effectiveness of these drugs was similar when compared against each other. Bimekizumab, ixekizumab and risankizumab showed a higher proportion of patients reaching PASI 90 than other anti-IL17 drugs (secukinumab and brodalumab) and guselkumab. Infliximab, anti-IL17 drugs (bimekizumab, ixekizumab, secukinumab and brodalumab) and anti-IL23 drugs (risankizumab and guselkumab) except tildrakizumab showed a higher proportion of patients reaching PASI 90 than ustekinumab and three anti-TNF alpha agents (adalimumab, certolizumab and etanercept). Ustekinumab was superior to certolizumab; adalimumab and ustekinumab were superior to etanercept. No significant difference was shown between apremilast and two non-biological drugs: ciclosporin and methotrexate. We found no significant difference between any of the interventions and the placebo for the risk of SAEs. The risk of SAEs was significantly lower for participants on methotrexate compared with most of the interventions. Nevertheless, the SAE analyses were based on a very low number of events with low- to moderate-certainty for all the comparisons (except methotrexate versus placebo, which was high-certainty). The findings therefore have to be viewed with caution. For other efficacy outcomes (PASI 75 and Physician Global Assessment (PGA) 0/1), the results were similar to the results for PASI 90. Information on quality of life was often poorly reported and was absent for several of the interventions. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS Our review shows that, compared to placebo, the biologics infliximab, bimekizumab, ixekizumab, and risankizumab were the most effective treatments for achieving PASI 90 in people with moderate-to-severe psoriasis on the basis of high-certainty evidence. This NMA evidence is limited to induction therapy (outcomes measured from 8 to 24 weeks after randomisation), and is not sufficient for evaluating longer-term outcomes in this chronic disease. Moreover, we found low numbers of studies for some of the interventions, and the young age (mean 44.5 years) and high level of disease severity (PASI 20.4 at baseline) may not be typical of patients seen in daily clinical practice. We found no significant difference in the assessed interventions and placebo in terms of SAEs, and the safety evidence for most interventions was low to moderate quality. More randomised trials directly comparing active agents are needed, and these should include systematic subgroup analyses (sex, age, ethnicity, comorbidities, psoriatic arthritis). To provide long-term information on the safety of treatments included in this review, an evaluation of non-randomised studies and postmarketing reports from regulatory agencies is needed. Editorial note: This is a living systematic review. Living systematic reviews offer a new approach to review updating, in which the review is continually updated, incorporating relevant new evidence as it becomes available. Please refer to the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews for the current status of this review.

Evaluation of Serum Proinflammatory Cytokine IL-17A and Tight Junction Protein Claudin-1 in Psoriasis. CONTRAST MEDIA & MOLECULAR IMAGING 2022; 2022:6092808. [PMID: 35340911 PMCID: PMC8920681 DOI: 10.1155/2022/6092808] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2021] [Revised: 01/10/2022] [Accepted: 01/15/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
Objective This study aimed to estimate serum IL-17A and Claudin-1 levels, investigate their correlation, and evaluate their diagnostic significance as potential blood-based biomarkers in psoriasis. Methods Serum IL-17A and Claudin-1 concentrations were determined using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Statistical analyses were performed to determine differences in serum levels of IL-17A and Claudin-1, their bivariable correlation with psoriasis severity, as Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI), and their predictive abilities using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. Results Significantly higher IL-17A and lower Claudin-1 levels were found in psoriasis (p < 0.05). PASI did not correlate significantly with either IL-17A or Claudin-1 in psoriasis and their subtypes. The only significant correlation between serum IL-17A and Claudin-1 was shown in late-onset psoriasis (r = 0.630, p = 0.028). ROC curve analysis indicated the serum IL-17A, serum Claudin-1, and combination of IL-17A and serum Claudin-1 for predicting psoriasis with the areas under the curve (AUC) of 0.951 (p < 0.0001), 0.709 (p = 0.0119), and 0.949 (p < 0.0001), respectively. Moreover, the potential role in distinguishing between early-onset and late-onset psoriasis: we obtained serum IL-17A, serum Claudin-1, and their combination AUC of 0.590 (p = 0.3126), 0.741 (p = 0.0045), and 0.741 (p = 0.0067), respectively. However, none of the serum IL-17A, serum Claudin-1, and their combination was well-performed discriminating mild psoriasis from moderate-to-severe psoriasis with AUC of 0.553 (p = 0.5596), 0.518 (p = 0.8539), and 0.559 (p = 0.5225), respectively. Conclusion These preliminary results suggest that the serum Claudin-1 as a potential biomarker and the relationship and possible regulatory interactions between IL-17A and Claudin-1 in psoriasis are distinguishable by age of onset.

Abstract
IL-17 inhibitors (IL-17i) are medicines used to treat dermatological and rheumatic diseases They belong to a class of medicines called biological disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (bDMARDs). This class of drugs has had a major impact on the therapy of autoimmune diseases, being much safer and more effective than treatment with small molecules. At the same time, they have highly beneficial effects on skin and joint changes, and their efficacy has been extensively monitored and demonstrated in numerous clinical trials. More and more such drugs are still being discovered today to ensure the best possible treatment of these patients, but more frequently and relatively constantly three agents are used. Two of them (Secukinumab and Ixekizumab) inhibit IL-17A directly, and the third, Brodamulab, inhibits the IL-17A receptor. Although they are extremely effective in the treatment of these diseases, sometimes their administration has been associated with paradoxical effects, i.e., there is an exacerbation of the inflammatory process. Tough, clinical trials of IL-17i have described cases of exacerbation or even onset of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, after administration of these drugs in patients previously diagnosed with psoriasis (PS), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), or ankylosing spondylitis (AS). The pathophysiological mechanism of action is not well understood at present. One explanation would be that this hyperreactive inflammatory process would be triggered by Interferon 1 derived from dendritic plasma cells. Even though there are many reports in the recent literature about the role of IL17i in the onset of IBD, conclusions of studies do not converge. Some of them show an increased incidence of IBD in patients treated with IL17i, while some others affirm their safety of them. In the near future we will surely have more data emerging from ongoing meta-analyses regarding safety of use IL17i in patients who are at risk of developing IBD. Clinical and paraclinical evaluation (inflammatory intestinal markers) are carefully advised before recommending treatment with IL-17i and after initiation of treatment, and prospective surveillance by clinical and biomarkers of patients treated with IL-17i is absolutely essential to capture the onset of IBD.

Abstract
Brodalumab is approved for treatment of moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis. Here, we assess the safety profile of brodalumab using pooled safety data from 5 phase II/III trials of brodalumab 140 mg or 210 mg. In total, 4,464 patients received brodalumab, representing 8,891.6 patient-years of exposure. During the placebo-controlled 12-week induction period, rates of serious adverse events per 100 patient-years were 10.8 and 9.6 (brodalumab 140 mg and 210 mg, respectively) vs 4.3 and 6.5 (ustekinumab and placebo, respectively); infections were the most frequent serious adverse event. Rates of serious adverse events during the comparator-controlled 52-week period were 14.4, 10.2 and 8.3 per 100 patient-years for brodalumab 210 mg, brodalumab 140 mg, and ustekinumab, respectively. Brodalumab was not associated with increased risks of malignancy, major adverse cardiac events, suicidal ideation and behaviour, or fatal events. Overall, brodalumab demonstrated an acceptable safety profile in short- and long-term treatment.

Abstract
The treatment of psoriasis has been revolutionized by the emergence of biological therapies. Monoclonal antibodies (mAb) generally have complex pharmacokinetic (PK) properties with nonlinear distribution and elimination. In recent years, several population pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) models capable of describing different types of mAb have been published. This study aims to summarize the findings of a literature search about population PK/PD modeling and therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) of mAb in psoriasis. A total of 22 articles corresponding to population PK/PD models of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α inhibitors (adalimumab and golimumab), interleukin (IL)-23 inhibitors (guselkumab, tildrakizumab, and risankizumab), IL-23/IL-12 inhibitor (ustekinumab), and IL-17 inhibitors (secukinumab, ixekizumab, and brodalumab) were collected. A summary of the clinical trials conducted so far in psoriasis was included, together with the current structural population PK and PD models. The most significant and clinical covariates were body weight (BW) and the presence of immunogenicity on clearance (CL). The lack of consensus on PK/PD relationships has prevented establishing an adequate dosage and, therefore, accentuates the need for TDM in psoriasis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is an inflammatory skin disease with dysregulation of the IL-17 axis. Recently we reported clinical benefit of brodalumab, a human anti-IL-17 receptor A (IL-17RA) monoclonal antibody, in moderate-to-severe HS. OBJECTIVES To characterize the molecular response to brodalumab in HS skin and serum, and to identify biomarkers of treatment response. METHODS Ten participants that received 210 mg/1.5mL brodalumab subcutaneously at week 0, 1, 2, 4 and every 2 weeks after were included in this molecular profiling study (NCT03960268). RNA-sequencing and immunohistochemistry of nonlesional, perilesional and lesional HS skin biopsies, and Olink high throughput proteomics of serum at baseline, week 4 and week 12 were assessed. RESULTS At week 12, brodalumab led to a decrease of overall inflammation, and improvement of psoriasis-, keratinocyte- and neutrophil-related pathways. Despite perilesional and lesional skin having no differentially expressed genes at baseline, treatment response was best assessed in perilesional skin. In serum, brodalumab treatment decreased pathways involved in neutrophil inflammation. Patients with higher baseline expression of neutrophil-associated Lipocalin-2 (LCN2) in the skin and IL-17A in the serum demonstrated greater decreases of HS-related inflammatory cytokines as measured in skin biopsies at week 12. CONCLUSIONS IL-17RA inhibition by brodalumab impacts several pathogenic inflammatory axes in HS. Perilesional skin provides a valid and robust assessment of treatment response. Expression of LCN2 in skin and IL-17A in serum may be used as biomarkers to stratify patients that may have a superior molecular response to brodalumab =.

Abstract
When epithelial cells are exposed to potentially threatening external stimuli such as allergens, bacteria, viruses, and helminths, they instantly produce "alarmin" cytokines, namely, IL-33, IL-25, and TSLP. These alarmins alert the immune system about these threats, thereby mobilizing host immune defense mechanisms. Specifically, the alarmins strongly stimulate type-2 immune cells, including eosinophils, mast cells, dendritic cells, type-2 helper T cells, and type-2 innate lymphoid cells. Given that the alarm-raising role of IL-33, IL-25, and TSLP was first detected in allergic and infectious diseases, most studies on alarmins focus on their role in these diseases. However, recent studies suggest that alarmins also have a broad range of effector functions in other pathological conditions, including psoriasis, multiple sclerosis, and cancer. Therefore, this review provides an update on the epithelium-derived cytokines in both allergic and non-allergic diseases. We also review the progress of clinical trials on biological agents that target the alarmins and discuss the therapeutic potential of these agents in non-allergic diseases.

Interleukin-17 contributes to Ross River virus-induced arthritis and myositis. PLoS Pathog 2022; 18:e1010185.

Abstract
Arthritogenic alphaviruses are mosquito-borne viruses that are a major cause of infectious arthropathies worldwide, and recent outbreaks of chikungunya virus and Ross River virus (RRV) infections highlight the need for robust intervention strategies. Alphaviral arthritis can persist for months after the initial acute disease, and is mediated by cellular immune responses. A common strategy to limit inflammation and pathology is to dampen the overwhelming inflammatory responses by modulating proinflammatory cytokine pathways. Here, we investigate the contribution of interleukin-17 (IL-17), a cytokine involved in arthropathies such as rheumatoid arthritis, in the development RRV-induced arthritis and myositis. IL-17 was quantified in serum from RRV-infected patients, and mice were infected with RRV and joints and muscle tissues collected to analyse cellular infiltrates, tissue mRNA, cytokine expression, and joint and muscle histopathology. IL-17 expression was increased in musculoskeletal tissues and serum of RRV-infected mice and humans, respectively. IL-17–producing T cells and neutrophils contributed to the cellular infiltrate in the joint and muscle tissue during acute RRV disease in mice. Blockade of IL-17A/F using a monoclonal antibody (mAb) reduced disease severity in RRV-infected mice and led to decreased proinflammatory proteins, cellular infiltration in synovial tissues and cartilage damage, without affecting viral titers in inflamed tissues. IL-17A/F blockade triggered a shift in transcriptional profile of both leukocyte infiltrates and musculoskeletal stromal cells by downregulating proinflammatory genes. This study highlights a previously uncharacterized role for an effector cytokine in alphaviral pathology and points towards potential therapeutic benefit in targeting IL-17 to treat patients presenting with RRV-induced arthropathy. Some viruses transmitted by mosquitoes cause painful and debilitating arthritis, which manifests both as an acute form shortly following infection, and a chronic form long after the initial symptoms have subsided. These viruses, termed arboviruses, are difficult to control and there are currently no specific treatments to alleviate the pain and loss of mobility. Arthritis caused by arboviruses shares similarities with a non-infectious, autoimmune form of arthritis called rheumatoid arthritis (RA). In RA, an immune molecule termed interleukin-17, or IL-17, has been shown to drive arthritis and treatments that target or block IL-17 are being developed to treat RA. Here, we asked whether arthritis caused by an arbovirus, Ross River virus (RRV), was also associated with elevated IL-17 in humans and mice. Disease severity in mice was associated with high IL-17 expression in the feet and muscle, and blocking IL-17 using an anti-IL-17 monoclonal antibody ameliorated disease in mice infected with RRV. Our study provides new information on a molecule that is implicated in arthritic inflammation, and could be targeted to treat disease caused by arthritogenic arboviruses.

Abstract
The Th17 cell-lineage-defining cytokine IL-17A contributes to host defense and inflammatory disease by coordinating multicellular immune responses. The IL-17 receptor (IL-17RA) is expressed by diverse intestinal cell types, and therapies targeting IL-17A induce adverse intestinal events, suggesting additional tissue-specific functions. Here, we used multiple conditional deletion models to identify a role for IL-17A in secretory epithelial cell differentiation in the gut. Paneth, tuft, goblet, and enteroendocrine cell numbers were dependent on IL-17A-mediated induction of the transcription factor ATOH1 in Lgr5+ intestinal epithelial stem cells. Although dispensable at steady state, IL-17RA signaling in ATOH1+ cells was required to regenerate secretory cells following injury. Finally, IL-17A stimulation of human-derived intestinal organoids that were locked into a cystic immature state induced ATOH1 expression and rescued secretory cell differentiation. Our data suggest that the cross talk between immune cells and stem cells regulates secretory cell lineage commitment and the integrity of the mucosa.

Abstract
Background: Psoriasis is a common immune-mediated skin disease that involves T-cell-mediated immunity. Invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells are a unique lymphocyte subpopulation that share properties and express surface markers of both NK cells and T cells. Previous reports indicate that iNKT cells regulate the development of various inflammatory diseases. IL-17 is a key cytokine in the pathogenesis of psoriasis and a key therapeutic target. Secukinumab is a fully human IgG1κ antibody that targets IL-17A, thereby antagonizing the biological effects of IL-17. Objective: To explore the expression of iNKT cells in psoriasis patients and the effect of secukinumab on them. Methods: We examined the frequencies of iNKT cells, Tregs, naïve and memory CD4+and CD8+T cells in the PBMCs as well as their cytokine production in a cohort of 40 patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis and 40 gender- and age-matched healthy controls. We further collected peripheral blood of another 15 moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis patients who were treated with secukinumab and evaluated the proportion of iNKT cells in the PBMCs at baseline and week 12. Results: The frequencies of conventional CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells, and Tregs in the PBMCs were comparable between psoriasis patients and healthy controls, but the frequencies of Th17 cells, Tc1 cells and Tc17 cells were increased in psoriasis patients. The frequency of peripheral iNKT cells and CD69+iNKT cells was significantly decreased in psoriasis patients. Both iNKT2 cells and iNKT17 cells were increased in psoriasis patients, but the ratio of iNKT2 cells vs iNKT17 cells was significantly reduced in psoriasis patients. After receiving secukinumab, the proportion of iNKT cells in the PBMCs of patients was increased, while the proportion of iNKT17 cells was decreased. Conclusion: Dysregulated iNKT cells may be involved in the pathogenesis of psoriasis and secukinumab may play a regulatory role on iNKT cells.

[PMID: 35386663 PMCID: PMC8974749 DOI: 10.3389/falgy.2022.806391] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2021] [Accepted: 01/10/2022] [Indexed: 12/07/2022] Open
Abstract
Airway remodeling is a frequent pathological feature of severe asthma leading to permanent airway obstruction in up to 50% of cases and to respiratory disability. Although structural changes related to airway remodeling are well-characterized, immunological processes triggering and maintaining this phenomenon are still poorly understood. As a consequence, no biotherapy targeting cytokines are currently efficient to treat airway remodeling and only bronchial thermoplasty may have an effect on bronchial nerves and smooth muscles with uncertain clinical relevance. Th17 cytokines, including interleukin (IL)-17 and IL-22, play a role in neutrophilic inflammation in severe asthma and may be involved in airway remodeling. Indeed, IL-17 is increased in sputum from severe asthmatic patients, induces the expression of "profibrotic" cytokines by epithelial, endothelial cells and fibroblasts, and provokes human airway smooth muscle cell migration in in vitro studies. IL-22 is also increased in asthmatic samples, promotes myofibroblast differentiation, epithelial-mesenchymal transition and proliferation and migration of smooth muscle cells in vitro. Accordingly, we also found high levels of IL-17 and IL-22 in a mouse model of dog-allergen induced asthma characterized by a strong airway remodeling. Clinical trials found no effect of therapy targeting IL-17 in an unselected population of asthmatic patients but showed a potential benefit in a sub-population of patients exhibiting a high level of airway reversibility, suggesting a potential role on airway remodeling. Anti-IL-22 therapies have not been evaluated in asthma yet but were demonstrated efficient in severe atopic dermatitis including an effect on skin remodeling. In this review, we will address the role of Th17 cytokines in airway remodeling through data from in vitro, in vivo and translational studies, and examine the potential place of Th17-targeting therapies in the treatment of asthma with airway remodeling.

Comparison of Efficacy of Anti-interleukin-17 in the Treatment of Psoriasis Between Caucasians and Asians: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. Front Med (Lausanne) 2022; 8:814938. [PMID: 35145980 PMCID: PMC8822240 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2021.814938] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/14/2021] [Accepted: 12/22/2021] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Interleukin-17 (IL-17) monoclonal antibody drugs have been increasingly significant in the treatment of psoriasis, but it is not clear whether the efficacy is equivalent across ethnicities. Objective To explore the differences of short-term efficacy of IL-17 inhibitors between Caucasians and Asians. Methods The pooled log risk ratio (logRR) between the groups was estimated. The meta-regression analysis on the logRR was performed, with the proportion of Caucasian patients as the covariate. The subgroup analysis was performed by specific IL-17 inhibitors. Results Of the 1,569 potentially relevant studies, sixteen randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were included. For the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index 75 (PASI 75) response at week 12, the pooled logRR of the Asian group and the Caucasian group was 2.81 (95% CI: 2.27–3.35, p < 0.001) and 2.93 (95% CI: 2.71–3.16, p < 0.001), respectively, indicating no significant difference of efficacy between Asians and Caucasians. The meta-regression analysis did not show an association of the proportion of Caucasians with the effect size (β = 0.3203, p = 0.334). In the subgroup analysis, the comparison results of secukinumab were consistent with the main analysis. Limitations Only the short-term efficacy was explored. The data from Asian countries were limited. Conclusions The short-term efficacy of IL-17 inhibitors in the treatment of psoriasis has no significant difference between Caucasians and Asians.
