Protocatechuic aldehyde ameliorates psoriasis-like skin inflammation and represses keratinocyte-derived IL-1α and CXCL9 via inhibiting STAT3 activation
Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease. Consistent activation of Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 3 (STAT3) in epidermal keratinocyte transactivates various keratinocyte-derived pro-inflammatory cytokines and elicits spontaneous psoriasis-like skin inflammation. In the current study, we first report that topical application of protocatechuic aldehyde (PA), the bioactive compound from Salvia miltiorrhiza (Danshen), significantly improved psoriasis-like skin symptoms and reduced immune cell infiltration in psoriatic lesions. Further molecular mechanism studies demonstrated that PA inactivated STAT3 and inhibited STAT3-mediated transactivation of interleukin-1α (IL-1α) and C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 9 (CXCL9) in epidermal keratinocyte both in vivo and in vitro. Knockdown of STAT3 attenuated the repression effect on IL-1α and CXCL9 by PA. Our results suggested that PA repressed the transactivation of IL-1α and CXCL9 through inhibiting STAT3 in keratinocyte. PA could be potentially used for psoriasis topical treatment or be as a lead compound for drug development.
期刊介绍:
International Immunopharmacology is the primary vehicle for the publication of original research papers pertinent to the overlapping areas of immunology, pharmacology, cytokine biology, immunotherapy, immunopathology and immunotoxicology. Review articles that encompass these subjects are also welcome.
The subject material appropriate for submission includes:
• Clinical studies employing immunotherapy of any type including the use of: bacterial and chemical agents; thymic hormones, interferon, lymphokines, etc., in transplantation and diseases such as cancer, immunodeficiency, chronic infection and allergic, inflammatory or autoimmune disorders.
• Studies on the mechanisms of action of these agents for specific parameters of immune competence as well as the overall clinical state.
• Pre-clinical animal studies and in vitro studies on mechanisms of action with immunopotentiators, immunomodulators, immunoadjuvants and other pharmacological agents active on cells participating in immune or allergic responses.
• Pharmacological compounds, microbial products and toxicological agents that affect the lymphoid system, and their mechanisms of action.
• Agents that activate genes or modify transcription and translation within the immune response.
• Substances activated, generated, or released through immunologic or related pathways that are pharmacologically active.
• Production, function and regulation of cytokines and their receptors.
• Classical pharmacological studies on the effects of chemokines and bioactive factors released during immunological reactions.
