Psoriasis is a common chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by inflammatory cell infiltration and epidermal hyperplasia. However, the regulatory complexity of cytokine and cellular networks still needs to be investigated. Here, we show that the expression of FXYD3, a member of the FXYD domain-containing regulators of Na/K ATPases family, is significantly increased in the lesional skin of psoriasis patients and mice with imiquimod (IMQ)-induced psoriasis. IL-17A, a cytokine important for the development of psoriatic lesions, contributes to FXYD3 expression in human primary keratinocytes. FXYD3 deletion in keratinocytes attenuated the psoriasis-like phenotype and inflammation in an IMQ-induced psoriasis model. Importantly, FXYD3 promotes the formation of the IL-17R-ACT1 complex by competing with IL-17R for binding to TRAF3 and then enhances IL-17A signaling in keratinocytes. This promotes the activation of the NF-κB and MAPK signaling pathways and leads to the expression of proinflammatory factors. Our results clarify the mechanism by which FXYD3 serves as a mediator of IL-17A signaling in keratinocytes to form a positive regulatory loop to promote psoriasis exacerbation. Targeting FXYD3 may serve as a potential therapeutic approach in the treatment of psoriasis.
银屑病是一种常见的慢性炎症性皮肤病,其特征为炎症细胞浸润和表皮增生。然而,细胞因子和细胞网络的调控复杂性仍需要进一步研究。在这里,我们发现 FXYD3(钠钾 ATP 酶家族中 FXYD 结构域调节因子的成员)在银屑病患者和咪喹莫特(IMQ)诱导的银屑病小鼠的皮损皮肤中的表达显著增加。白细胞介素 17A(IL-17A)是导致银屑病病变发展的重要细胞因子,有助于人原代角质形成细胞中 FXYD3 的表达。角质形成细胞中 FXYD3 的缺失可减弱 IMQ 诱导的银屑病模型中的银屑病样表型和炎症。重要的是,FXYD3 通过与 TRAF3 竞争结合 IL-17R 来促进 IL-17R-ACT1 复合物的形成,从而增强角质形成细胞中的 IL-17A 信号。这促进了 NF-κB 和 MAPK 信号通路的激活,并导致促炎因子的表达。我们的研究结果阐明了 FXYD3 作为角质形成细胞中 IL-17A 信号转导的介质的作用机制,形成了一个正反馈环,促进银屑病的恶化。靶向 FXYD3 可能成为治疗银屑病的一种潜在治疗方法。
