Anatomical context of Psoriasis

  • Stat3 links activated keratinocytes and immunocytes required for development of psoriasis in a novel transgenic mouse model [25].
  • This study highlights the critical and proximal role of T cell activation through the B7-CD28/CD152 costimulatory pathway in maintaining the pathology of psoriasis, including the newly recognized accumulation of mature DCs in the epidermis [26].
  • Increase in TNF-alpha and inducible nitric oxide synthase-expressing dendritic cells in psoriasis and reduction with efalizumab (anti-CD11a) [27].
  • The membrane-bound IL-15 expression was also significantly lower in the control monocytes of AD patients compared with that in normals and psoriasis patients [28].
  • Noninvolved skin from psoriasis patients was grafted to beige-severe combined immunodeficiency mice, and psoriasis was induced by injection of FasL-positive autologous natural killer cells that were activated by IL-2 [29].
 

Gene context of Psoriasis

  • In a prospective dose escalation study, we assessed treatment with human IL-4 (rhuIL-4) in 20 patients with severe psoriasis [1].
  • In addition, adult transgenic skin that was still both sensitive to TGF-alpha and subject to mild irritation displayed localized regions of leukocytic infiltration and granular layer loss, characteristics frequently seen in psoriasis in humans [30].
  • Our results reveal that AR exerts activity in the skin that is distinct from that of transgenic transforming growth factor-alpha or other cytokines, and induces skin pathology with striking similarities to psoriasis [31].
  • We investigated the role of the CD28/CD152 pathway in psoriasis in a 26-week, phase I, open-label dose-escalation study [32].
  • By immunohistochemistry, FKN was expressed on ECs in psoriasis, a Th1-dominated skin disorder, but not in Th2-driven atopic dermatitis [33].
