MicroRNA-31 mediated inhibition of keratin 6 by PSORI-CM01: a novel approach to psoriasis amelioration.
Background: Psoriasis vulgaris is a serious noncommunicable disease, with no clear cause or cure. Expression of microRNA-31 (miR-31) is significantly increased in the cutaneous tissue of psoriasis vulgaris patients. Keratin 6 (Krt6) serves as a pivotal biomarker in the diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for psoriasis vulgaris. PSORI-CM01, a traditional Chinese medicine formulation comprising seven medicinal herbs, is employed in China for the therapeutic management of psoriasis vulgaris. However, its anti-psoriatic mechanism warrants further investigations. In this study, the underlying anti-psoriasis mechanism of PSORI-CM01dependent of miR-31 and Krt6 was explored.
Methods: In vivo, BALB/c mice were subjected to treatment with imiquimod (IMQ) to establish a psoriasis-like murine model. These psoriasis-like mice were then administered varying concentrations of PSORI-CM01. Following this, evaluations were performed on their Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) scores, epidermal thickness, and the expression levels of miR-31 and Krt6. HaCaT cells were subjected to treatment with interleukin-6 (IL-6) to create a psoriasis-like cellular model. Following this, the psoriasis-like keratinocytes were administered varying concentrations of PSORI-CM01, and the expression levels of miR-31 were quantified. In addition, these psoriasis-like keratinocytes were transfected with miR-31 mimics and subsequently treated with PSORI-CM01. The expression levels of Krt6 were then quantified and subjected to analysis.
Results: In vivo, PSORI-CM01 significantly alleviated the clinical-like manifestations of erythema, scales, and thickening in psoriasis-like mice, and it also reduced the PASI scores; Different concentrations of PSORI-CM01 significantly decreased epidermal thickness and the expression of miR-31 and Krt6 in psoriasis-like mice in a dose-dependent manner. In vitro, PSORI-CM01 significantly inhibited the expression of miR-31 and Krt6 in psoriasis-like keratinocytes; However, the decreased Krt6 protein expression was restored by miR-31 mimics.
Conclusion: PSORI-CM01 may improve psoriasis-like lesions by inhibiting expression of Krt6 protein dependent of miR-31.
期刊介绍:
Frontiers in Chemistry is a high visiblity and quality journal, publishing rigorously peer-reviewed research across the chemical sciences. Field Chief Editor Steve Suib at the University of Connecticut is supported by an outstanding Editorial Board of international researchers. This multidisciplinary open-access journal is at the forefront of disseminating and communicating scientific knowledge and impactful discoveries to academics, industry leaders and the public worldwide.
Chemistry is a branch of science that is linked to all other main fields of research. The omnipresence of Chemistry is apparent in our everyday lives from the electronic devices that we all use to communicate, to foods we eat, to our health and well-being, to the different forms of energy that we use. While there are many subtopics and specialties of Chemistry, the fundamental link in all these areas is how atoms, ions, and molecules come together and come apart in what some have come to call the “dance of life”.
All specialty sections of Frontiers in Chemistry are open-access with the goal of publishing outstanding research publications, review articles, commentaries, and ideas about various aspects of Chemistry. The past forms of publication often have specific subdisciplines, most commonly of analytical, inorganic, organic and physical chemistries, but these days those lines and boxes are quite blurry and the silos of those disciplines appear to be eroding. Chemistry is important to both fundamental and applied areas of research and manufacturing, and indeed the outlines of academic versus industrial research are also often artificial. Collaborative research across all specialty areas of Chemistry is highly encouraged and supported as we move forward. These are exciting times and the field of Chemistry is an important and significant contributor to our collective knowledge.
