Inside-out and outside-in organotypic normal human skin culture : JAK-STAT pathway is activated after pro-inflammatory psoriatic cytokine exposure / L. Cornaghi, N. Gagliano, F.W.B. Preis, F. Prignano, E. Donetti. - In: TISSUE & CELL. - ISSN 0040-8166. - 74:(2022 Feb), pp. 101675.1-101675.6. [10.1016/j.tice.2021.101675]
Abstract:
The Janus kinases–signal transducers and activators of transcription (JAK-STAT) signalling pathway are a pleiotropic cascade that involves ligands such as cytokines, hormones, and growth factors. Among cytokines, interleukin (IL)-17, IL-22, IL-23, and tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha play a pivotal role in psoriasis. We aimed at investigating in an organotypic experimental model of normal human skin (n = 7 women between 20–40 years old, non-smokers) the early, direct, and specific effects of IL-17, IL-22, IL-23, TNF-alpha and a combination of the four cytokines (Mix) on the JAK-STAT/pathway. The expression of the psoriatic marker keratin (K) 17 was analyzed by immunofluorescence and molecular techniques after exposure to IL-23 or Mix. The Mix elicited a strong K17 up-regulation in keratinocytes at 72 h, reinforcing the hypothesis of a synergistic effect of different cytokines. High levels of JAK1 and STAT3 activation were detected, suggesting the involvement of JAK1/STAT3 pathway in the upregulation of K17. As the present study in an organotypic model of human skin reports a variable expression of JAK-STAT upon different cytokine stimuli and most of the JAK inhibitors for the psoriasis treatment have proven to have a clinical efficacy, these observations have a relevance to better understand the mechanisms of JAK-inhibitors in the skin.
