The inhibitory effect of A20 on the inflammatory reaction of epidermal keratinocytes.

چکیده
A20 is a negative regulator of nuclear factor κ-light‑chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB) signaling, and has been implicated in the pathogenesis of psoriasis through genome-wide association study (GWAS). In the present study, we investigated the putative role of A20 in epidermal keratinocytes. Immunohistochemical analysis showed that A20 was expressed in all layers of the epidermis, with an increasing pattern in the upper layers. In our model of calcium-induced keratinocyte differentiation, A20 expression was increased in a time-dependent manner. To investigate whether A20 affected keratinocyte differentiation, we overexpressed A20 in cultured keratinocytes. As a result, we noted that A20 overexpression did not affect keratinocyte differentiation, suggesting that A20 is not a direct modulator of keratinocyte differentiation. Interestingly, we found that A20 levels were decreased in psoriatic lesional skin compared to non-lesional areas. To investigate whether A20 played a role in the innate immune response of keratinocytes, we overexpressed A20 and then examined poly(I:C)-induced cytokine expression. We noted that A20 significantly inhibited poly(I:C)-induced cytokine production, and this effect was related to the inhibition of NF-κB signaling. These results suggest that the downregulation of A20 increased the susceptibility of keratinocytes to external stimuli, thus contributing to the development of psoriasis.

Inactivation of mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathway reduces caspase-14 expression in impaired keratinocytes
Objective(s):Several investigations have revealed that caspase-14 is responsible for the epidermal differentiation and cornification, as well as the regulation of moisturizing effect. However, the precise regulation mechanism is still not clear. This study was aimed to investigate the expression of caspase-14 in filaggrin-deficient normal human epidermal keratinocytes (NHEKs) and to explore the...

Tetra-carboxy-methyl-naringenin-chalcone (TCM-NC) is a new cosmetic active derived from naringenin, a flavanone naturally occurring in the peel of citrus fruit and tomato skin. The naringenin isomer naringenin-chalcone has been reported to have potent anti-allergic properties. For this reason the effect of TCM-NC was studied in an in vitro assay mimicking the inflammation pathway of rosacea ski...

Background: Keratinocyte stem cell is one of the adult stem cells that inhabits the skin and contributes to skin function and renewal. Adult stem cells are best defined by their capacity to self-renew, and to maintain tissue function for a long period of time. These findings indicate the importance of these cells for clinical applications including regenerative medicine, tissue engineering and ...

In vitro Co-Culture of Human Skin Keratinocytes and Fibroblasts on a Biocompatible and Biodegradable Scaffold
Background: Extensive full-thickness burns require replacement of both epidermis and dermis. In designing skin replacements, the goal has been to re-create this model and make a product which has both essential components. Methods: In the present study, we developed procedures for establishing confluent, stratified layers of cultured human keratinocytes on the surface of modified collagen-chito...
