Аннотация
PLAQUE PSORIASIS: Plaque psoriasis is an inflammatory skin disorder affecting nearly 2% of the world population. Despite recent advances in psoriasis treatment, there is still a need for more effective therapies. The ETS transcription factor FLI1 plays critical roles in hematopoiesis, angiogenesis, immunity, and cancer. Emerging evidence suggests that FLI1 is intricately involved in inflammatory processes underlying psoriasis pathogenesis.
METHODS: RNAseq and bioinformatic analysis were used to identify the correlation between FLI1 levels and the expression of inflammatory genes associated with psoriasis. Over-expression of FLI1 in skin cells determined FLI1's role in inducing transcription of psoriasis-related inflammatory genes, including IL6, IL1A, IL1B, IL23, and TNFα. Inhibitors such as chelerythrine (CLT) were tested for their suppressive effects on these genes. Mouse models of plaque psoriasis were employed to assess the therapeutic potential of CLT and tacrolimus (TAC).
RESULTS: Over-expression of FLI1 in skin cells upregulated 24 psoriasis-associated genes, which were identified through RNAseq. Inhibitors of FLI1, such as CLT, suppressed these inflammatory genes in skin cells. In mouse models of plaque psoriasis induced by imiquimod (IMQ) or phorbol ester (TPA), treatment with the anti-FLI1 inhibitor CLT, administered either peritoneally or topically, significantly downregulated inflammatory genes and alleviated psoriasis symptoms. Similarly, TAC, a common immunosuppressive agent, effectively attenuated IMQ-induced psoriasis by acting as a potent anti-FLI1 compound.
CONCLUSION: These findings demonstrate that FLI1 plays a central role in psoriasis development and highlight it as a potential therapeutic target for this skin disorder.
