Abstract
Objective
Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory dermatological condition characterized by the infiltration of inflammatory cells into the dermal layer. This study aimed to elucidate the anti-inflammatory properties and underlying molecular mechanisms of Ganoderic acid A in the treatment of psoriasis.
Methods
A psoriasis model was induced in mice using IMQ to evaluate the effects of Ganoderic acid A in vivo. The Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) was employed to assess the severity of skin inflammation in the lesions. Techniques such as hematoxylin-eosin staining, RNA sequencing and immunofluorescence assays were utilized to evaluate the efficacy. Both in vivo and exvivo experiments were conducted to confirm the clinical relevance and explore the regulatory mechanisms involved.
Results
The findings demonstrated that both intraperitoneal and topical applications of Ganoderic acid A alleviate psoriasis effectively. Specifically, Ganoderic acid A resulted in a reduction in skin thickness, erythema, scaling and the expression of inflammatory cytokines. Mechanistically, Ganoderic acid A was shown to reduce the secretion of skin inflammatory factors by inhibiting pyroptosis through the GSDMD pathway.
Conclusion
Ganoderic acid A exhibits potential as a therapeutic agent for psoriasis and may be considered for inclusion in dietary recommendations for patients.
期刊介绍:
Tissue and Cell is devoted to original research on the organization of cells, subcellular and extracellular components at all levels, including the grouping and interrelations of cells in tissues and organs. The journal encourages submission of ultrastructural studies that provide novel insights into structure, function and physiology of cells and tissues, in health and disease. Bioengineering and stem cells studies focused on the description of morphological and/or histological data are also welcomed.
Studies investigating the effect of compounds and/or substances on structure of cells and tissues are generally outside the scope of this journal. For consideration, studies should contain a clear rationale on the use of (a) given substance(s), have a compelling morphological and structural focus and present novel incremental findings from previous literature.
