Abstract
Psoriasis, a prevalent inflammatory skin condition impacting millions globally, continues to pose treatment challenges, despite the availability of multiple therapies. This underscores the demand for innovative treatments. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have emerged as a promising therapeutic option due to their capacity to modulate the immune system and facilitate tissue healing. Recent research indicates that MSCs don't just work through direct cell-to-cell interactions but also release extracellular vesicles (EVs), containing various bioactive substances like proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. This article explores our current knowledge of psoriasis's origins and the potential utilization of MSCs and their EVs, particularly exosomes, in managing the condition. Additionally, we delve into how MSCs and EVs function in therapy, including their roles in regulating immune responses and promoting tissue repair. Lastly, we discuss the obstacles and opportunities associated with translating MSC-based treatments for psoriasis into clinical practice.

Abstract
Psoriasis is an immune-mediated, chronic, relapsing, inflammatory, systemic disease induced by individual-environmental interactions, and is often lifelong because of the difficulty of treatment. In recent years, a variety of targeted therapies, including biologics, have improved the lesions and quality of life of most psoriasis patients, but they still do not address the problem of relapse and may be associated with decreased efficacy or adverse events such as infections over time. Therefore, there is an urgent need for breakthroughs in psoriasis treatment and in relapse-delaying and non-pharmacologic strategies, and stem cell therapy for psoriasis has emerged. In recent years, research on stem cell therapy for psoriasis has received a lot of attention, however, there is no reference standard as well as consensus in this field of research. Therefore, according to the latest consensus and guidelines, combined with relevant literature reports, clinical practice experience and the results of discussions with experts, this consensus specifies the types of stem cells commonly used in the treatment of psoriasis, the methods, dosages, and routes of stem cell therapy for psoriasis, as well as the clinical evaluations (efficacy and safety) of stem cell therapy for psoriasis. In addition, this consensus also provides normative standards for the processes of collection, preparation, preservation and quality control of stem cells and their related products, as well as recommendations for the management of stem cells during infusion for the treatment of psoriasis. This consensus provides the latest specific reference standards and practice guidelines for the field of stem cell therapy for psoriasis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Psoriasis, a chronic inflammatory skin disease, is increasingly effectively managed with the targeted immunotherapy; however, long-term immunotherapy carries health risks, and loss of response. Therefore, we need to develop the alternative treatment strategies. Mesenchymal stem/stromal cell (M.S.C.) exosomes stand out for their remarkable immunomodulatory properties, gaining widespread recognition. This study investigated whether M.S.C. exosomes can reduce psoriasis-induced hyperplasia by inducing Transforming Growth Factor beta 2 (TGF-beta2) signaling. METHODOLOGY Exosomes were isolated from M.S.C.s by ultracentrifugation. Then, scanning electron microscopy was used for the morphology of exosomes. To ascertain the exosome concentration, the Bradford test was used. To ascertain the cellular toxicity of exosomes in Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells ( H.U.V.E.C), an MTT experiment was then conducted. Real-time PCR was used to quantify TGF beta2 expression levels, whereas an ELISA immunosorbent assay was used to determine the protein concentration of TGF beta2. RESULTS In this study, the exosomes of 15-30 nm in size that were uniform, and cup-shaped were isolated. Moreover, the IC50 value for this Treatment was calculated to be 181.750 µg/ml. The concentration of TGF-β2 gene in the target cells significantly increased following Treatment with the exosomes. Furthermore, the expression level of the studied gene significantly increased due to the Treatment. CONCLUSION Upregulating the expression of TGF-β2 in psoriatic cells via TGF-β2 signaling is one way exosomes can help reduce hyperplasia.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) show promise as cellular therapeutics. Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting the skin and the joints. Injury, trauma, infection and medications can trigger psoriasis by disrupting epidermal keratinocyte proliferation and differentiation, which activates the innate immune system. Pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion drives a T helper 17 response and an imbalance of regulatory T cells. We hypothesized that MSC adoptive cellular therapy could immunomodulate and suppress the effector T cell hyperactivation that underlies the disease. We used the imiquimod-induced psoriasis-like skin inflammation model to study the therapeutic potential of bone marrow and adipose tissue-derived MSC in vivo. We compared the secretome and the in vivo therapeutic potential of MSC with and without cytokine pre-challenge ("licensing"). The infusion of both unlicensed and licensed MSC accelerated the healing of psoriatic lesions, and reduced epidermal thickness and CD3+ T cell infiltration while promoting the upregulation of IL-17A and TGF-β. Concomitantly, the expression of keratinocyte differentiation markers in the skin was decreased. However, unlicensed MSC promoted the resolution of skin inflammation more efficiently. We show that MSC adoptive therapy upregulates the transcription and secretion of pro-regenerative and immunomodulatory molecules in the psoriatic lesion. Accelerated healing is associated with the secretion of TGF-β and IL-6 in the skin and MSC drives the production of IL-17A and restrains T-cell-mediated pathology.

Abstract
Psoriasis, a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by the hyperproliferation of keratinocytes in the epidermis and parakeratosis, significantly impacts quality of life. Interleukin (IL)- 17A dominates the pathogenesis of psoriasis and facilitates reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation, which exacerbates local psoriatic lesions. Biologic treatment provides remarkable clinical efficacy, but its high cost and unignorable side effects limit its applications. 3 H-1,2-Dithiole-3-thione (D3T) possesses compelling antioxidative capacities against several diseases through the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) cascade. Hence, we aimed to evaluate the effect and mechanism of D3T in psoriasis. We found that D3T attenuates skin thickening and scaling by inhibiting IL-17A-secreting γδT cells in imiquimod (IMQ)-induced psoriatic mice. Interleukin-17A markedly enhanced IL-6 and IL-8 expression, lipid peroxidation, the contents of nitric oxide and hydrogen peroxide, oxidative phosphorylation and the MAPK/NF-κB pathways in keratinocytes. IL-17A also inhibited the Nrf2-NQO1-HO-1 axis and the activities of superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase. D3T significantly reversed these parameters in IL-17A-treated keratinocytes. ML-385, a Nrf2 neutralizer, failed to improve D3T-induced anti-inflammatory and antioxidative effects in IL-17A-treated keratinocytes. We conclude that targeting Nrf2 with D3T to diminish oxidative and inflammatory damage in keratinocytes may attenuate psoriasis.

Abstract
Psoriasis is an autoimmune disease, which has a significant impact on the quality of patient's life. And, there is still no cure for psoriasis. The human dental pulp stem cell (hDPSC) possesses the properties of immunoregulation. In this study, we aimed to determine the effect of hDPSC on the imiquimod (IMQ)-induced psoriasis in mice. The psoriasis model was established by topical application of IMQ cream in mice for 7 days. We found that subcutaneous injection of hDPSC could reduce the symptoms of skin lesions in IMQ-induced psoriasis and suppress the expression of keratin 16, S100A8, S100A9, which are associated with abnormal epidermal proliferation. Subepithelial inflammatory cytokines, CD4+ T lymphocytes and CD11c+ dendritic cells infiltrations were significantly inhibited in by hDPSC. The TNF-α, IFN-γ expressions in serum were decreased, and splenomegaly induced by IMQ was improved after hDPSC treatment. In summary, our study demonstrated that hDPSC could reduce the symptoms of skin lesions and suppress local and systemic immune responses of IMQ-induced psoriasis in mice, which might provide a new sight for the treatment of psoriasis.

Abstract
The skin has a solid protective system that includes the stratum corneum as the primary barrier and a complete antioxidant defence system to maintain the skin's normal redox homeostasis. The epidermal and dermal cells are continuously exposed to physiological levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) originating from cellular metabolic activities. Environmental insults, such as ultraviolet (UV) rays and air pollutants, also generate ROS that can contribute to structural damage of the skin. The antioxidant defence system ensures that the ROS level remains within the safe limit. In certain skin disorders, oxidative stress plays an important role, and there is an established interplay between oxidative stress and inflammation in the development of the condition. Lower levels of skin antioxidants indicate that oxidative stress may mediate the pathogenesis of the disorder. Accordingly, the total antioxidant level was also found to be lower in individuals with skin disorders in individuals with normal skin conditions. This review attempts to summarise the skin oxidant sources and antioxidant system. In addition, both skin and total antioxidant status of individuals with psoriasis, acne vulgaris, vitiligo and atopic dermatitis (AD), as well as their associations with the progression of these disorders will be reviewed.

Abstract
Chronic skin inflammatory diseases including atopic dermatitis (AD) and psoriasis have been considered uncontrolled inflammatory responses, which have usually troubled patients around the world. Moreover, the recent method to treat AD and psoriasis has been based on the inhibition, not regulation, of the abnormal inflammatory response, which can induce a number of side effects and drug resistance in long-term treatment. Mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) and their derivatives have been widely used in immune diseases based on their regeneration, differentiation, and immunomodulation with few adverse effects, which makes MSCs a promising treatment for chronic skin inflammatory diseases. As a result, in this review, we aim to systematically discuss the therapeutic effects of various resources of MSCs, the application of preconditioning MSCs and engineering extracellular vesicles (EVs) in AD and psoriasis, and the clinical evaluation of the administration of MSCs and their derivatives, which can provide a comprehensive vision for the application of MSCs and their derivatives in future research and clinical treatment.

Abstract
Inflammatory and immunological skin diseases such as psoriasis, systemic sclerosis, dermatomyositis and atopic dermatitis, whose abnormal skin manifestations not only affected life quality but also caused social discrimination, have been wildly concerned. Complex variables such as hereditary predisposition, racial differences, age and gender can influence the prevalence and therapeutic options. The population of patients with unsatisfactory curative effects under current therapies is growing, it's advisable to seek novel and advanced therapies that are less likely to cause systemic damage. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been proven with therapeutic benefits in tissue regeneration, self-renewal and differentiation abilities when treating refractory skin disorders in preclinical and clinical studies. Here we highlighted the immune modulation and inflammation suppression of MSCs in skin diseases, summarized current studies, research progress and related clinical trials, hoping to strengthen the confidence of promising MSCs therapy in future clinical application.

Mesenchymal stem/stromal cells primed by inflammatory cytokines alleviate psoriasis-like inflammation via the TSG-6-neutrophil axis. Cell Death Dis 2022; 13:996. [PMID: 36433947 PMCID: PMC9700741 DOI: 10.1038/s41419-022-05445-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/23/2022] [Revised: 11/10/2022] [Accepted: 11/15/2022] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
Psoriasis is currently an incurable skin disorder mainly driven by a chronic inflammatory response. We found that subcutaneous application of umbilical cord- derived mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) primed by IFN-γ and TNF-α, referred to as MSCs-IT, exhibited remarkable therapeutic efficacy on imiquimod (IMQ)-induced psoriasis-like inflammation in mice. Neutrophil infiltration, a hallmark of psoriasis, was significantly reduced after treatment with MSCs-IT. We further demonstrated that the effects of MSCs-IT were mediated by tumor necrosis factor (TNF) stimulating gene-6 (TSG-6), which was greatly upregulated in MSCs upon IFN-γ and TNF-α stimulation. MSCs transduced with TSG-6 siRNA lost their therapeutic efficacy while recombinant TSG-6 applied alone could also reduce neutrophil infiltration and alleviate the psoriatic lesions. Furthermore, we demonstrated that TSG-6 could inhibit neutrophil recruitment by decreasing the expression of CXCL1, which may be related to the reduced level of STAT1 phosphorylation in the keratinocytes. Thus, blocking neutrophil recruitment by MSCs-IT or TSG-6 has potential for therapeutic application in human psoriasis.

Abstract
In the onset and progression of psoriasis, redox imbalance is a vital factor. It's widely accepted that too much reactive oxygen species (ROS) always make psoriasis worse. Recent research, however, has shown that the accumulation of ROS is not entirely detrimental, as it helps reduce psoriasis lesions by inhibiting epidermal proliferation and keratinocyte death. As a result, ROS appears to have two opposing effects on the treatment of psoriasis. In this review, the current ROS-related therapies for psoriasis, including basic and clinical research, are presented. Additionally, the design and therapeutic benefits of various drug delivery systems and therapeutic approaches are examined, and a potential balance between anti-oxidative stress and ROS accumulation is also trying to be investigated.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease. Tissue stem cells have exhibited a therapeutic effect on psoriatic mice. However, the therapeutic effect of topical administration of the secretome derived from tissue stem cells on psoriasis has not been reported. METHODS The secretome from human amniotic epithelial cells (AEC-SC) and human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (UMSC-SC) was topically administrated on the back of imiquimod-induced psoriasis-like mice. Subsequently, we observed the skin lesions and skin inflammation of psoriasis-like mice. Next, we further analyzed the paracrine factors in AEC-SC and UMSC-SC by protein chips. Lastly, the effect of the crucial paracrine factor was investigated by imiquimod-induced psoriasis-like mice. RESULTS We found that AEC-SC had a better therapeutic effect on attenuating psoriasis-like skin lesions including skin scales, skin redness and skin thickness than UMSC-SC, and it had a better regulatory effect on keratinocyte hyperproliferation and altered differentiation. Thus, we focused on AEC-SC. Further study showed that AEC-SC reduced the infiltration of neutrophils and interleukin-17-producing T cells. Next, the analysis of AEC-SC with protein chip revealed that the levels of anti-inflammatory factor interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1ra) were much higher in AEC-SC compared to that in UMSC-SC. More importantly, the beneficial effect of AEC-SC on psoriasis-like skin lesions and skin inflammation of mice were significantly impaired when neutralizing with IL-1ra antibody, while the recombinant human IL-1ra showed a less protective effect than AEC-SC. CONCLUSIONS The present study demonstrated that AEC-SC could efficiently ameliorate psoriasis-like skin lesions and skin inflammation and IL-1ra plays an essential role. Therefore, topical administration of AEC-SC may provide a novel strategy for treating psoriasis-like inflammatory skin diseases.

Abstract
Human gingiva-derived mesenchymal stem cells (GMSCs) are isolated from the gingival propria with promising regenerative, immunomodulatory, and anti-inflammatory properties. Recently, several studies, including ours, have found that GMSCs have the therapeutic potentials of nerve regeneration and skin disorders in various types such as the cell itself, cell-free conditioned medium, or extracellular vesicles (EVs). However, the mechanobiological behavior of GMSCs is closely related to the culture conditions. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the function of human GMSCs on imiquimod- (IMQ-) induced murine psoriasis-like skin inflammation in two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) culture conditions. Here, we isolated and characterized GMSCs in 2D and 3D culture conditions and found that GMSCs in 2D and 3D infusion can significantly ameliorate the IMQ-induced murine psoriasis-like skin inflammation, reduce the levels of Th1- and Th17-related cytokines IFN-γ, TNF-α, IL-6, IL-17A, IL-17F, IL-21, and IL-22, and upregulate the percentage of spleen CD25+CD3+ T cells while downregulate the percentage of spleen IL-17+CD3+ T cells. In summary, our novel findings reveal that GMSCs in 2D and 3D infusion may possess therapeutic effects in the treatment of psoriasis.

Abstract
The immunomodulatory potential of dihydroartemisinin (DHA) has recently been highlighted; however, the potential mechanism remains to be clarified. Single-cell RNA sequencing was explored in combination with cellular and biochemical approaches to elucidate the immunomodulatory mechanisms of DHA. In this study, we found that DHA induced both spleen enlargement and rearrangement of splenic immune cell subsets in mice. It was revealed that DHA promoted the reversible expansion of effective regulatory T cells and interferon-γ+ cytotoxic CD8+ T cells in the spleen via induction of superoxide dismutase 3 (SOD3) expression and increased phosphorylation of c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNK) and its downstream activator protein 1 (AP-1) transcription factors. Further, SOD3 knockout mice were resistant to the regulatory effect of DHA. Thus, DHA, through the activation of the SOD3-JNK-AP-1 axis, beneficially regulated immune cell heterogeneity and splenic immune cell homeostasis to treat autoimmune diseases.

Abstract
Immunomodulatory effects of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in inflammatory diseases, including psoriasis, are well documented. However, the role of MSC-derived exosomes (MSCs-Exo) in psoriasis-like skin inflammation remains largely unknown. This study aimed to investigate whether MSCs-Exo play a regulatory role in psoriasis-like skin inflammation. We found that subcutaneous injection of human umbilical cord MSCs-Exo (hucMSCs-Exo) significantly suppressed the proliferation of epidermis and reduced Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) scores in imiquimod (IMQ)-induced mice. hucMSCs-Exo also reduced the expression of interleukin (IL)-17, IL-23, and chemokine C-C-motif ligand 20 (CCL20) and inhibited phosphorylation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) in the skin of IMQ-induced mice and in human keratinocyte (HaCaT) cells. In addition, co-cultured with hucMSCs-Exo in vitro, the maturation and activation of dendritic cells (DCs) were suppressed, and the expression level of IL-23 was decreased. These results indicate that hucMSCs-Exo can effectively ameliorate psoriasis-like skin inflammation in mice by regulating the expression of IL-23 and IL-17, and inhibiting the maturation and activation of DCs. Our data offer a promising therapeutic approach for psoriasis by leveraging the immunomodulatory effects of hucMSCs-Exo.

Abstract
Psoriasis is an autoimmune disease still lacking standard treatment, and it has been demonstrated that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are capable of immunoregulation. The underlying mechanism might involve the secretion of soluble cytokines, such as hepatocyte growth factor (HGF). This study aims to investigate the therapeutic effect of HGF-overexpressed dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) [DPSCs; HGF overexpressed DPSCs (HGF-DPSCs)] on imiquimod-induced psoriasis. DPSCs were isolated and transfected by adenovirus vector carrying HGF gene (Ad-HGF). The immunoregulatry abilities of DPSCs and HGF-DPSCs were investigated by coculture of the MSCs with peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) under appropriated stimulation. The psoriatic mice were treated with saline control, DPSCs, or HGF-DPSCs. Then the mice spleens were collected and weighted. The psoriatic skin lesions were analyzed by Hematoxylin/Eosin and immunohistochemical staining for histopathological changes, and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction to detect the expression levels of CD4+ T cell-related transcription factors and cytokines. The mice blood serum was measured by MILLIPLEX analysis and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay to evaluate the expression levels of inflammation cytokines. The coculture experiments showed HGF overexpression enhanced the immunoregulation abilities of DPSCs not by suppressing PBMCs' proliferation, but by downregulating T helper 1 (Th1), Th17 cells, and upregulating regulatory T (Treg) cells. In psoriatic skin lesions, the psoriasis-like erythema, scaling, and thickening were ameliorated; and the expression of cytokeratin 6 (CK6), and cytokeratin 17 (CK17) were downregulated by DPSCs and HGF-DPSCs treatment. HGF overexpression enhanced the decrease of spleen masses; enhanced the downregulation of the expression levels of interferon-gamma (IFN-γ), tumor necrosis factor-α, and interleukin (IL)-17A in the blood serums; enhanced the downregulation of T-box transcription factor 21 (T-bet), IFN-γ, retinoic acid-related orphan receptor-γt (RORγt), IL-17A, IL-17F, IL-23, and upregulation of Foxp3 and IL-10 in the psoriatic skin lesions. Therefore, HGF overexpression enhanced DPSCs' treatment effect on psoriasis mainly by reducing inflammatory responses. These findings might provide new immunoregulation strategies for psoriasis treatment.

Abstract
Background Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) therapy has recently been considered a promising treatment for atopic dermatitis (AD) due to their immunomodulation and tissue regeneration ability. In our previous studies, we demonstrated that hMSCs alleviate allergic inflammation in murine AD model by inhibiting the activation of mast cells and B cells. Also our phase I/IIa clinical trial showed clinical efficacy and safety of hMSCs in moderate-to-severe adult AD patients. However, hMSCs therapy against atopic dermatitis have had poor results in clinical field. Therefore, we investigated the reason behind this result. We hypothesized that drug–cell interaction could interfere with the therapeutic efficacy of stem cells, and investigated whether coadministration with pimecrolimus, one of the topical calcineurin inhibitors, could influence the therapeutic potential of human umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cells (hUCB-MSCs) in AD. Methods hUCB-MSCs were subcutaneously injected to AD-induced mice with or without pimecrolimus topical application. To examine whether pimecrolimus influenced the immunomodulatory activity of hUCB-MSCs, hUCB-MSCs were treated with pimecrolimus. Results Pimecrolimus disturbed the therapeutic effect of hUCB-MSCs when they were co-administered in murine AD model. Moreover, the inhibitory functions of hUCB-MSCs against type 2 helper T (Th2) cell differentiation and mast cell activation were also deteriorated by pimecrolimus treatment. Interestingly, we found that pimecrolimus decreased the production of PGE2, one of the most critical immunomodulatory factors in hUCB-MSCs. And we demonstrated that pimecrolimus downregulated COX2-PGE2 axis by inhibiting nuclear translocation of NFAT3. Conclusions Coadministration of pimecrolimus with hMSCs could interfere with the therapeutic efficacy of hMSCs in atopic dermatitis, and this is the first study that figured out the interaction of hMSCs with other drugs in cell therapy of atopic dermatitis. Therefore, this study might give rise to improvement of the clinical application of hMSCs therapy and facilitate the widespread application of hMSCs in clinical field.

Superoxide Dismutase 3-Transduced Mesenchymal Stem Cells Preserve Epithelial Tight Junction Barrier in Murine Colitis and Attenuate Inflammatory Damage in Epithelial Organoids. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms22126431. [PMID: 34208517 PMCID: PMC8233984 DOI: 10.3390/ijms22126431] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/19/2021] [Revised: 06/04/2021] [Accepted: 06/11/2021] [Indexed: 01/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Superoxide dismutase 3 (SOD3), also known as extracellular superoxide dismutase, is an enzyme that scavenges reactive oxygen species (ROS). It has been reported that SOD3 exerts anti-inflammatory abilities in several immune disorders. However, the effect of SOD3 and the underlying mechanism in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have not been uncovered. Therefore, in the present study, we investigated whether SOD3 can protect intestinal cells or organoids from inflammation-mediated epithelial damage. Cells or mice were treated with SOD3 protein or SOD3-transduced mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Caco-2 cells or intestinal organoids stimulated with pro-inflammatory cytokines were used to evaluate the protective effect of SOD3 on epithelial junctional integrity. Dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis mice received SOD3 or SOD3-transduced MSCs (SOD3-MSCs), and were assessed for severity of disease and junctional protein expression. The activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway and elevated expression of cytokine-encoding genes decreased in TNF-α-treated Caco-2 cells or DSS-induced colitis mice when treated with SOD3 or SOD3-MSCs. Moreover, the SOD3 supply preserved the expression of tight junction (ZO-1, occludin) or adherence junction (E-cadherin) proteins when inflammation was induced. SOD3 also exerted a protective effect against cytokine- or ROS-mediated damage to intestinal organoids. These results indicate that SOD3 can effectively alleviate enteritis symptoms by maintaining the integrity of epithelial junctions and regulating inflammatory- and oxidative stress.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Psoriasis is chronic incurable skin inflammation. The anti-inflammatory properties of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been put forward to be involved in several inflammatory diseases. However, little was known about the role of human adipose tissue-derived stem cells (hAD-MSCs) in psoriasis. OBJECTIVE We sought to explore the feasibility of using hAD-MSCs infusion as a therapeutic approach in psoriatic mice. METHODS We constructed the psoriasis-like model by IMQ implication, treated with hAD-MSCs by subcutaneous injection. To evaluate the efficacy, we examined the histology, CD45 and ROS positive cells by HE and flow cytometry respectively. We also tested the key cytokines with PCR. Moreover, to achieve a better therapeutic effect, we treated the model by combing with vitamin E application. RESULTS We found that the classic histological symptoms of psoriasis were relieved after treatment with hAD-MSCs, also, the splenic index, the infiltration of immune cells and several pro-inflammatory cytokines were decreased. Interestingly, we also found that hAD-MSCs could inhibit ROS generation. Moreover, the combination therapy of hAD-MSCs and vitamin E could promote the curative effect with greater ROS inhibition. CONCLUSION These results suggested that hAD-MSCs could be useful for treating psoriasis by negatively regulating ROS.

Abstract
Poor maternal diet increases the risk of obesity and type 2 diabetes in offspring, adding to the ever-increasing prevalence of these diseases. In contrast, we find that maternal exercise improves the metabolic health of offspring, and here, we demonstrate that this occurs through a vitamin D receptor-mediated increase in placental superoxide dismutase 3 (SOD3) expression and secretion. SOD3 activates an AMPK/TET signaling axis in fetal offspring liver, resulting in DNA demethylation at the promoters of glucose metabolic genes, enhancing liver function, and improving glucose tolerance. In humans, SOD3 is upregulated in serum and placenta from physically active pregnant women. The discovery of maternal exercise-induced cross talk between placenta-derived SOD3 and offspring liver provides a central mechanism for improved offspring metabolic health. These findings may lead to novel therapeutic approaches to limit the transmission of metabolic disease to the next generation.

Abstract
The skin is the largest organ of the human body and its main functions include providing protection from external harmful agents, regulating body temperature, and homeostatic maintenance. Skin injuries can damage this important barrier and its functions so research focuses on approaches to accelerate wound healing and treat inflammatory skin diseases. Due to their regenerative and immunomodulatory properties, mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have been reported to play a significant role in skin repair and regeneration. However, it seems that the secretome of these cells and exosomes in particular may be responsible for their functions in skin regeneration and the immunomodulation field. The present review aims to gather the available information about the role of MSC-derived exosomes for both in vitro and in vivo models of different skin conditions and to highlight the need for further research in order to overcome any limitations for clinical translation.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been used systemically or locally in many chronic and nonhealing skin lesions in recent years. In this study, umbilical cord-derived MSCs (UC-MSCs)-seeded fibrin matrix was used as a wound dressing in pediatric patients with stage 4 acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD)-induced desquamated skin lesions. This is the first study in which the UC-MSCs-seeded fibrin matrix was used as a wound dressing in aGVHD. A total of 14 times the MSCs-seeded fibrin matrix were applied to 9 patients as a wound dressing. On the seventh day, epithelialization and clinical response were evaluated. According to the size of the skin defect min: 1, max: 6 pieces were applied at a time. After 48 to 72 hours, it was observed that all of the MSCs-seeded fibrin matrixes adhered to the skin and the crustation started in 6 (43%) applications, whereas liquefaction was detected under all of them in 7 (50%) applications. Complete response was obtained in 6 applications (43%), partial response in 1 (7%), and no response in 7 applications (50%). This study showed that the MSCs-seeded fibrin matrix can be used effectively and safely in the matrix in the local treatment of aGVHD-induced skin wounds in pediatric patients.

Abstract
Superoxide dismutases (SODs) are metalloenzymes that play a major role in antioxidant defense against oxidative stress in the body. SOD supplementation may therefore trigger the endogenous antioxidant machinery for the neutralization of free-radical excess and be used in a variety of pathological settings. This paper aimed to provide an extensive review of the possible uses of SODs in a range of pathological settings, as well as describe the current pitfalls and the delivery strategies that are in development to solve bioavailability issues. We carried out a PubMed query, using the keywords "SOD", "SOD mimetics", "SOD supplementation", which included papers published in the English language, between 2012 and 2020, on the potential therapeutic applications of SODs, including detoxification strategies. As highlighted in this paper, it can be argued that the generic antioxidant effects of SODs are beneficial under all tested conditions, from ocular and cardiovascular diseases to neurodegenerative disorders and metabolic diseases, including diabetes and its complications and obesity. However, it must be underlined that clinical evidence for its efficacy is limited and consequently, this efficacy is currently far from being demonstrated.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been developed as cell therapeutics for various immune disorders using their immunoregulatory properties mainly exerted by their paracrine functions. However, variation among cells from different donors, as well as rapid clearance after transplantation have impaired the uniform efficacy of MSCs and limited their application. Recently, several strategies to overcome this limitation have been suggested and proven in pre-clinical settings. Therefore, in this review article, we will update the knowledge on bioengineering strategies to improve the immunomodulatory functions of MSCs, including genetic modification and physical engineering.

Abstract
Skin disease may be related with immunological disorders, external aggressions, or genetic conditions. Injuries or cutaneous diseases such as wounds, burns, psoriasis, and scleroderma among others are common pathologies in dermatology, and in some cases, conventional treatments are ineffective. In recent years, advanced therapies using human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) from different sources has emerged as a promising strategy for the treatment of many pathologies. Due to their properties; regenerative, immunomodulatory and differentiation capacities, they could be applied for the treatment of cutaneous diseases. In this review, a total of thirteen types of hMSCs used as advanced therapy have been analyzed, considering the last 5 years (2015-2020). The most investigated types were those isolated from umbilical cord blood (hUCB-MSCs), adipose tissue (hAT-MSCs) and bone marrow (hBM-MSCs). The most studied diseases were wounds and ulcers, burns and psoriasis. At preclinical level, in vivo studies with mice and rats were the main animal models used, and a wide range of types of hMSCs were used. Clinical studies analyzed revealed that cell therapy by intravenous administration was the advanced therapy preferred except in the case of wounds and burns where tissue engineering was also reported. Although in most of the clinical trials reviewed results have not been posted yet, safety was high and only local slight adverse events (mild nausea or abdominal pain) were reported. In terms of effectiveness, it was difficult to compare the results due to the different doses administered and variables measured, but in general, percentage of wound's size reduction was higher than 80% in wounds, Psoriasis Area and Severity Index and Severity Scoring for Atopic Dermatitis were significantly reduced, for scleroderma, parameters such as Modified Rodnan skin score (MRSC) or European Scleroderma Study Group activity index reported an improvement of the disease and for hypertrophic scars, Vancouver Scar Scale (VSS) score was decreased after applying these therapies. On balance, hMSCs used for the treatment of cutaneous diseases is a promising strategy, however, the different experimental designs and endpoints stablished in each study, makes necessary more research to find the best way to treat each patient and disease.

Abstract
The immunoregulatory abilities of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been investigated in various autoimmune and allergic diseases. However, the therapeutic benefits observed in preclinical settings have not been reproducible in clinical trials. This discrepancy is due to insufficient efficacy of MSCs in harsh microenvironments, as well as batch-dependent variability in potency. Therefore, to achieve more beneficial and uniform outcomes, novel strategies are required to potentiate the therapeutic effect of MSCs. One of simple strategies to augment cellular function is genetic manipulation. Several studies showed that transduction of antioxidant enzyme into cells can increase anti-inflammatory effects. Therefore, we evaluated the immunoregulatory abilities of MSCs introduced with extracellular superoxide dismutase 3 (SOD3) in the present study. SOD3-overexpressed MSCs (SOD3-MSCs) reduced the symptoms of murine model of atopic dermatitis (AD)-like inflammation, as well as the differentiation and activation of various immune cells involved in AD progression. Interestingly, extracellular vesicles (EVs) isolated from SOD3-MSCs delivered SOD3 protein. EVs carrying SOD3 also exerted improved therapeutic efficacy, as observed in their parent cells. These results suggest that MSCs transduced with SOD3, an antioxidant enzyme, as well as EVs isolated from modified cells, might be developed as a promising cell-based therapeutics for inflammatory disorders.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have recently been shown to have not only regenerative capabilities but also immunomodulating properties. For this reason, they are currently under investigation in clinical trials for the treatment of several autoimmune systemic disorders. Psoriasis is a systemic immune-mediated disease for which MSCs could have therapeutic potential. We analysed the existing literature with regard to MSC-based strategies for the treatment of psoriasis, using the MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus and Cochrane Library electronic databases from inception to the date of study. A number of studies confirm the involvement of MSCs in psoriasis pathogenesis and therefore designate MSCs as an important potential therapeutic tool in this setting. Preclinical data are mostly based on imiquimod-induced murine models of psoriasis, and confirm the anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory action of MSCs in the setting of psoriasis. Six patients affected by psoriasis were described in four clinical studies. Despite significant differences in terms of therapeutic protocols and clinical outcomes, the MSC-based regimens were efficacious in 100% of the cases. Despite more data still being needed, MSCs could be a promising therapy for psoriasis.

Therapeutic treatment with Ibrutinib attenuates imiquimod-induced psoriasis-like inflammation in mice through downregulation of oxidative and inflammatory mediators in neutrophils and dendritic cells. Eur J Pharmacol 2020; 877:173088. [PMID: 32234429 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejphar.2020.173088] [Citation(s) in RCA: 44] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/17/2020] [Revised: 03/19/2020] [Accepted: 03/25/2020] [Indexed: 12/28/2022]
Abstract
Psoriasis is clinically characterized by well-demarcated silvery plaques which may appear on the extremities, scalp, and sacral area. The multidimensional interactions among innate immune cells [neutrophils and dendritic cells (DCs)], adaptive immune cells and skin resident cells result in characteristic features of psoriatic inflammation such as acanthosis, hyperkeratosis, and parakeratosis. Tec family kinases are involved in the pathogenesis of several inflammatory diseases. One of them is Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) which is reported to carry out inflammatory and oxidative signaling in neutrophils and DCs. Effect of BTK inhibitor with regard to psoriatic inflammation has not been explored previously especially in a therapeutic setting. In the current investigation, effect of BTK inhibitor, Ibrutinib on oxidative/inflammatory signaling in dermal/splenic neutrophils [phosphorylated BTK (p-BTK), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), nitrotyrosine], CD11c + DCs (p-BTK, iNOS, nitrotyrosine, MCP-1, TNF-α) and enzymatic antioxidants [superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), glutathione reductase (GR)] in imiquimod (IMQ)-induced psoriatic inflammation was evaluated using therapeutic mode. Our results show that IMQ treatment led to induction of p-BTK expression along with concomitant increase in oxidative stress in neutrophils, and CD11c + DCs in skin/periphery. Therapeutic treatment with Ibrutinib caused attenuation of IMQ-induced oxidative stress in CD11c + DCs and neutrophils. Further there were dysregulations in antioxidants enzymes (SOD/GPx/GR) in the skin of IMQ-treated mice, which were corrected by Ibrutinib. In short, our study reveals that BTK signaling in neutrophils and CD11c + DCs upregulates oxidative stress which is concomitant with psoriatic inflammation in mice. Ibrutinib attenuates psoriasis inflammation through downregulation of oxidative stress in these innate immune cells.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been extensively studied and implicated for the cell-based therapy in several diseases due to theirs immunomodulatory properties. Embryonic stem cells and induced-pluripotent stem cells have either ethical issues or concerns regarding the formation of teratomas, introduction of mutations into genome during prolonged culture, respectively which limit their uses in clinical settings. On the other hand, MSCs also encounter certain limitation of circumscribed survival and reduced immunomodulatory potential during transplantation. Plethora of research is undergoing to improve the efficacy of MSCs during therapy. Several compounds and novel techniques have been employed to increase the therapeutic potency of MSCs. MSCs secreted superoxide dismutase 3 (SOD3) may be the mechanism for exhibiting direct antioxidant activities by MSCs. SOD3 is a well known antioxidant enzyme and recently known to possess immunomodulatory properties. Along with superoxide scavenging property, SOD3 also displays anti-angiogenic, anti-chemotactic and anti-inflammatory functions in both enzymatic and non-enzymatic manners. In this review, we summarize the emerging role of SOD3 secreted from MSCs and SOD3’s effects during cell-based therapy.

Abstract
Free radicals and other oxidants are critical determinants of the cellular signaling pathways involved in the pathogenesis of several human diseases including inflammatory diseases. Numerous studies have demonstrated the protective effects of antioxidant enzymes during inflammation by elimination of free radicals. The superoxide dismutase (SOD), an antioxidant enzyme, plays an essential pathogenic role in the inflammatory diseases by not only catalyzing the conversion of the superoxide to hydrogen peroxide and oxygen but also affecting immune responses. There are three distinct isoforms of SOD, which distribute in different cellular compartments such as cytosolic SOD1, mitochondrial SOD2, and extracellular SOD3. Many studies have investigated the anti-oxidative effects of SOD3 in the inflammatory diseases. Herein, in this review, we focus on the current understanding of SOD3 as a therapeutic protein in inflammatory diseases such as skin, autoimmune, lung, and cardiovascular inflammatory diseases. Moreover, the mechanism(s) by which SOD3 modulates immune responses and signal initiation in the pathogenesis of the diseases will be further discussed.

Abstract
Implanted bone scaffolds often fail to successfully integrate with the host tissue because they do not elicit a favorable immune reaction. Properties of bone scaffold not only provide mechanical and chemical signals to support cell adhesion, migration, proliferation and differentiation, but also play a pivotal role in determining the extent of immune response during bone regeneration. Appropriate design parameters of bone scaffold are of great significance in the process of developing a new generation of bone implants. Herein, this article addresses the recent advances in the field of bone scaffolds for immune response, particularly focusing on the physical and chemical properties of bone scaffold in manipulating the host response. Furthermore, incorporation of bioactive molecules and cells with immunoregulatory function in bone scaffolds are also presented. Finally, continuing challenges and future directions of scaffold-based strategies for modulating immune microenvironment are discussed.

Mesenchymal Stem Cells Alleviate Moderate-to-Severe Psoriasis by Reducing the Production of Type I Interferon (IFN-I) by Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cells (pDCs). Stem Cells Int 2019; 2019:6961052.

Abstract
The anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been proposed to be involved in some autoimmune diseases and have been successfully tested in patients and mice. But their contribution to psoriasis and the underlying mechanisms involved remains elusive. Here, we explored the feasibility of using human umbilical cord-derived MSC (hUC-MSC) infusion as a therapeutic approach in an imiquimod- (IMQ-) induced psoriasis mouse model. MSC infusion were found to significantly reduce the severity and development of psoriasis, inhibit the infiltration of immune cells to the skin, and downregulate the expression of several proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines. Our results provide an explanation for the therapeutic effects of MSC infusion by first suppressing neutrophil function and then downregulating the production of type I interferon (IFN-I) by plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs). Therefore, we discovered a novel mechanism of stem cell therapy for psoriasis. In summary, our results showed that MSC infusion could be an effective and safe treatment for psoriasis.

Abstract
The expressions of LL-37 and KLK-5 were found to be altered in various dermatoses, including atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, and rosacea. However, the downstream inflammatory effect of LL-37 and KLK-5 is not as well studied. In addition, there is little high-quality evidence for the treatment of LL-37- and KLK-5-mediated inflammation. In this study, we investigated the effect of superoxide dismutase 3 (SOD3) on LL-37- or KLK-5-induced skin inflammation in vitro and in vivo and its underlying anti-inflammatory mechanisms. Our data showed that SOD3 significantly reduced both LL-37- and KLK-5-induced expression of pro-inflammatory mediators and suppressed the activation of EGFR, protease-activated receptor 2, nucleotide-binding domain, leucine-rich-containing family, pyrin domain-containing-3, and p38/extracellular signal-regulated kinase signaling pathways in human keratinocytes. Moreover, SOD3 suppressed LL-37-induced expression of inflammatory mediators, reactive oxygen species production, and p38/extracellular signal-regulated kinase activation in mast cells. In addition, subcutaneous injection of KLK-5 in SOD3 knockout mice exhibited erythema with increased epidermal thickness, mast cell and neutrophil infiltration, expression of inflammatory mediators, and activation of EGFR, protease-activated receptor 2, nucleotide-binding domain, leucine-rich-containing family, pyrin domain-containing-3, and downstream mitogen-activated protein kinase pathways. However, treatment with SOD3 in SOD3 knockout mice rescued KLK-5-induced inflammatory cascades. Similarly, KLK-5-induced inflammation in wild-type mice was also ameliorated when treated with SOD3. Taken together, our data suggest that SOD3 is a potentially effective therapy for both LL-37-and KLK-5-induced skin inflammation.

Abstract
Psoriasis vulgaris is a chronic, immune-mediated, inflammatory, polygenic skin disorder affecting approximately 2% of the population. It has a great impact on quality of life; patients often experience depression, anxiety, stigma as well as suicidal behavior. Even though psoriasis is one of the most studied dermatological conditions, the pathogenesis of the disease is still not completely elucidated. The complex interactions between keratinocytes, dendritic cells, T-lymphocytes, neutrophils and mast cells are responsible for the histopathological changes seen in psoriasis. The pathogenic model leading to the formation of psoriatic plaques has however evolved a lot over the years. There is now enough evidence to support the role of interleukin (IL) -23, IL-17, IL-22, T helper (Th) -17 cells, Th-22 cells, T regulatory cells, transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 and IL-10 in the pathogenesis of the disease. Moreover, several inflammatory and anti-inflammatory molecules are currently being investigated, some of them showing promising results. The aim of this paper is to look over the most recent advances in the immunological pathways involved in the pathogenesis of psoriasis vulgaris.

Enhanced therapeutic effects of human mesenchymal stem cells transduced with superoxide dismutase 3 in a murine atopic dermatitis-like skin inflammation model. Allergy 2018; 73:2364-2376.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The use of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) has been proposed to treat various autoimmune diseases. However, effective strategies for treating atopic dermatitis (AD) are still lacking, and the mechanisms underlying stem cell therapy remain largely unknown. In this study, we sought to explore potential clinical application of superoxide dismutase 3-transduced MSCs (SOD3-MSCs) to experimental AD-like skin inflammation in in vitro and in vivo and its underlying anti-inflammatory mechanisms. METHODS SOD3-MSCs were administered subcutaneously to mice with AD, and associated symptoms and biologic changes were evaluated. Human keratinocytes, mast cells, and murine T helper (Th) 2 cells were cocultured in vitro with SOD3-MSCs to investigate potential therapeutic effects of SOD3-MSCs. RESULTS In mice with AD, SOD3-MSCs ameliorated AD pathology and enhanced the efficacy of MSC therapy by controlling activated immune cells, by reducing expression levels of proinflammatory mediators in the skin, and by inhibiting the histamine H4 receptor (H4R)-mediated inflammatory cascade and activation of Janus kinase signal transducer and activator of transcription pathways. Similarly, coculture of SOD3-MSCs with mast cells, keratinocytes, and Th2 cells effectively dampened H4R-dependent persistent inflammatory responses by multiple mechanisms. Moreover, we also showed that SOD3 interacts with H4R and IL-4 receptor α. The functional significance of this interaction could be a markedly reduced inflammatory response in keratinocytes and overall AD pathogenesis, representing a novel mechanism for SOD3's anti-inflammatory effects. CONCLUSION SOD3-MSCs can be potentially used as an effective and clinically relevant therapy for AD and other autoimmune disorders.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Psoriasis is characterized by chronic inflammatory dermatosis, and the pathogenesis of psoriasis is associated with mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and deregulation of the expression of miR-31. This study aimed to clarify the function of miR-31 in dermal MSCs (DMSCs) in the pathogenesis of psoriasis. METHODS The expression of miR-31 was assayed by a microarray and that of target genes of miR-31 was tested by quantitative PCR. RESULTS The expression of miR-31 in the psoriasis group was 0.2677 folds that of the control group. The expression of EMP1 and EIG121L genes, whose products are located on the cell membrane, in the psoriasis group was 4.095579 and 5.367017 folds that in the control group, respectively. The expression of GRB10, PTPN14, QKI, RNF144B, and TACC2 genes, whose products are located in the cytoplasm, in the psoriasis group was 1.440428, 1.198335, 1.737285, 7.379546, and 1.531947 folds that of the control. The expression of PRELP, whose products are secreted in the extracellular space, in the psoriasis group was 1.351684 folds that of the control. The expression of RBMS1, KHDRBS3, and SATB2, whose products play a role in the nucleus, in the psoriasis group was 2.237199, 1.277159, and 1.005742 folds that of the control, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that the low expression of miR-31 in DMSCs in patients with psoriasis causes an increase in the expression of some of its target genes, which in turn facilitates T lymphocyte activation by inhibiting the proliferation of DMSCs and therefore participates in the pathogenesis of psoriasis.

Abstract
AIMS Several anti-melanogenic molecules have been developed or identified, but their uses are limited due to either adverse effects or instability during the treatment. We aimed to evaluate the effects of extracellular superoxide dismutase (SOD3), a powerful antioxidant, as a candidate anti-melanogenic molecule. MAIN METHODS UVB-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and proliferation in melan-a cells was evaluated by 6-carboxy-2',7'-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate staining and bromodeoxyuridine incorporation assay, respectively. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and western blot were performed to detect the melanogenesis-related gene expression and downstream signaling. Anti-melanogenic effects of SOD3 were also evaluated using SOD3 transgenic mice under UVB exposure in-vivo condition. KEY FINDINGS SOD3 inhibited UVB-induced proliferation, ROS production and melanogenesis in melanocytes. Measurement of melanin content and tyrosinase activity assays showed that SOD3 significantly inhibited melanin synthesis. Moreover, these suppressive effects of SOD3 were dependent on the endothelin-1 (ET-1)/endothelin B receptor, protein kinase C, melanocortin 1 receptor/protein kinase A, Wnt7a/β-catenin, and mitogen-activated protein kinase pathways, with concomitant downregulation of microphthalmia-associated transcription factor, tyrosinase, and tyrosinase-related proteins 1, dopachrome tautomerse. Interestingly, SOD3 was found to inhibit transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-β1) to inactivate the ET-1 signaling pathway, and finally prevents the production of melanin. SIGNIFICANCE Our results provide novel insights into the role of SOD3 in melanocyte homeostasis and its uses as a potential biomedicine to treat hyperpigmentary conditions of the skin.

Abstract
Psoriasis is an inflammatory autoimmune skin disorder possessing a complex etiology related to genetic and environmental triggers. Keratinocytes show a potential role for the origin of psoriasis. In this study, we estimated the efficiency of 2 anthranilate derivatives-(E)-4-( N-{2-[1-(hydroxyimino)ethyl]phenyl}sulfamoyl)phenyl pivalate (HFP031) and butyl 2-[2-(2-fluorophenyl)acetamido]benzoate (HFP034)-on psoriasis amelioration in a mouse model. The results showed that topical treatment with both compounds could attenuate epidermal thickness and scaling in an imiquimod (IMQ)-induced psoriasis mouse model via decreased expression of cytokines and chemokines [C-X-C chemokine ligand (CXCL)1 and CXCL2], leading to the reduction of neutrophilic abscess in the skin. The in vivo cutaneous absorption of HFP034 was 7.6-fold greater than that of HFP031. Both compounds caused negligible irritation on healthy mouse skin. In addition, we examined the effect of the anthranilate derivatives on chemokine expression in IMQ-treated HaCaT keratinocytes. Our results elucidated a mechanism for anti-inflammatory activity of HFP034 that involved the elevation of intracellular cAMP concentration, suppression of NF-κB activity, and attenuation of neutrophil chemoattractant expression. These results suggest that HFP034 could increase the cutaneous concentration of cAMP to suppress neutrophil infiltration into the skin. Topically applied HFP034 may demonstrate a potential for future clinical application as a novel therapy for psoriasis treatment.-Lin, Z.-C., Hsieh, P.-W., Hwang, T.-L., Chen, C.-Y., Sung, C.

Abstract
Propionibacterium acnes is a well-known commensal bacterium that plays an important role in the pathogenesis of acne and chronic inflammatory skin disease. In this study, we investigated the effect of superoxide dismutase 3 (SOD3) on P. acnes- or peptidoglycan (PGN)-induced inflammation in vitro and in vivo. Our data demonstrated that SOD3 suppressed toll-like receptor-2 (TLR-2) expression in P. acnes- or PGN-treated keratinocytes and sebocytes. Moreover, we found that SOD3 suppressed the expressions of phosphorylated nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) and p38 in P. acnes- or PGN-treated cells. SOD3 also exhibited an anti-inflammatory role by reducing the expression of inflammasome-related proteins (NLRP3, ASC, caspase-1) and inhibiting the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines, including tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-1β, interleukin-6, and interleukin-8. In addition, SOD3 reduced lipid accumulation and expression of lipogenic regulators in P. acnes-treated sebocytes. Recombinant SOD3-treated wild-type mice and SOD3 transgenic mice, which were subcutaneously infected with P. acnes, showed tolerance to inflammation through reducing inflammatory cell infiltration in skin, ear thickness, and expression of inflammatory mediators. Our result showed that SOD3 could suppress the inflammation through inhibition of TLR2/p38/NF-κB axis and NLRP3 inflammasome activation. Therefore, SOD3 could be a promising candidate for treatment of P. acnes-mediated skin inflammation.

Abstract
Stem cells are undifferentiated cells capable of generating, sustaining, and replacing terminally differentiated cells and tissues. They can be isolated from embryonic as well as almost all adult tissues including skin, but are also generated through genetic reprogramming of differentiated cells. Preclinical and clinical research has recently tremendously improved stem cell therapy, being a promising treatment option for various diseases in which current medical therapies fail to cure, prevent progression or relieve symptoms. With the main goal of regeneration or sustained genetic correction of damaged tissue, advanced tissue-engineering techniques are especially applicable for many dermatological diseases including wound healing, genodermatoses (like the severe blistering disorder epidermolysis bullosa) and chronic (auto-)inflammatory diseases. This review summarizes general aspects as well as current and future perspectives of stem cell therapy in dermatology.

Abstract
Recent years have seen considerable progress in explaining the mechanisms of the pathogenesis of psoriasis, with a significant role played in it by the hyper-reactivity of Th1 and Th17 cells, Treg function disorder, as well as complex relationships between immune cells, keratinocytes, and vascular endothelium. The effect of stem cells in the epidermis and stem cells on T cells has been identified and the dysfunction of various types of stem cells may be a prime cause of dysregulation of the inflammatory response in psoriasis. However, exploring these mechanisms in detail could provide a chance to develop new therapeutic strategies. In this paper, the authors reviewed data on the role played by stem cells in the pathogenesis of psoriasis and initial attempts at using them in treatment.

Abstract
Many active compounds present in Rhododendron brachycarpum have been used in traditional Oriental medicine for the treatment of various skin diseases. However, the precise mechanism of action of the compounds isolated from R. brachycarpum and their relevance as therapeutics for the treatment of psoriasis remain elusive. In this study, we report that rhododendrin isolated from R. brachycarpum strongly inhibits imiquimod (IMQ)-induced psoriasis-like skin inflammation in mice. We showed that topical treatment with rhododendrin reduces IMQ-induced skin hyperplasia, inflammatory mononuclear cell infiltration and the expression of pro-inflammatory mediators in mouse skin. In addition, we found that rhododendrin inhibits the activation of the TLR-7/NF-κB and mitogen-activated protein kinase pathways in both IMQ-induced psoriasis-like skin inflammation in mice and in normal human epidermal keratinocytes treated with IMQ. These results suggest that rhododendrin has an anti-inflammatory effect and can be used as a therapeutic to fight against psoriasis and other inflammatory skin diseases.

Abstract
The influence of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) on keratinocytes in altered microenvironments is poorly understood. Here, we cocultured umbilical cord blood-derived MSCs with normal human epidermal keratinocytes to evaluate their paracrine effect in the presence of high extracellular calcium (Ca2+ ) concentration. High Ca2+ environment to keratinocytes can disrupt normal skin barrier function due to abnormal/premature differentiation of keratinocytes. Surprisingly, we found that MSCs suppress both proliferation and differentiation of keratinocytes under a high Ca2+ environment in transforming growth factors β1 (TGFβ1)-dependent manner. Furthermore, we determined that MSCs can regulate the mitogen-activated protein kinases, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B, and protein kinase C pathways in Ca2+ -induced differentiated keratinocytes. Knockdown of TGFβ1 from MSCs results in decreased suppression of differentiation with significantly increased proliferation of keratinocytes compared with control MSCs. MSCs-derived TGFβ1 further induced growth inhibition of keratinocyte in high extracellular Ca2+ environment as analyzed by a decrease in DNA synthesis, accumulation of phosphorylated retinoblastoma protein, cdc2, and increased mRNA level of p21, and independent of TGFβ1/SMAD pathway. Taken together, we found that MSCs-derived TGFβ1 is a critical regulator of keratinocyte function, and involves multiple proximal signaling cascades. Stem Cells 2017;35:1592-1602.

Abstract
Inflammatory skin disorders that cause serious deterioration of the quality of life have become one of the major public concerns. Despite their significance, there is no fundamental cure to date. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) possess unique immunomodulatory properties which make them a promising tool for the treatment of various inflammatory diseases. Our recent preclinical and clinical studies have shown that MSCs can be successfully used for the treatment of atopic dermatitis (AD), one of the major inflammatory skin diseases. This observation along with similar reports from other groups revealed the efficacy and underlying mechanisms of MSCs in inflammatory dermatosis. In addition, it has been proposed that cell priming or gene transduction can be novel strategies for the development of next-generation high-efficacy MSCs for treating inflammatory skin diseases. We discuss here existing evidence that demonstrates the regulatory properties of MSCs on immune responses under inflammatory conditions.
