Four transglutaminase (TG) isoforms have been detected in epidermal keratinocytes: TG1, TG2, TG3, and TG5. Except for TG1 and TG3, their contribution to keratinocyte development and structure remains undefined. In this paper, we focused on the roles of TG2 and TG3 in imiquimod-induced psoriasis in mouse skin. We evaluated the severity of psoriasis markers in the skin of imiquimod-treated TG3 null and TG2 null mice. Our results showed that compromised TG3KO mouse skin was more responsive than WT or TG2KO mouse skin to the action of the pro-inflammatory drug imiquimod.
已经在表皮角质形成细胞中检测到四种转谷氨酰胺酶 (TG) 同工型:TG1、TG2、TG3 和 TG5。除了 TG1 和 TG3 之外,它们对角质形成细胞发育和结构的贡献仍未确定。在本文中,我们专注于 TG2 和 TG3 在咪喹莫特诱导的小鼠皮肤银屑病中的作用。我们评估了咪喹莫特处理的 TG3 敲除和 TG2 敲除小鼠皮肤中银屑病标志物的严重程度。我们的结果表明,与 WT 或 TG2KO 小鼠皮肤相比,功能丧失的 TG3KO 小鼠皮肤对促炎药物咪喹莫特的作用更为敏感。
