Abstract

Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease that affects millions of people worldwide. Sulforaphane (SFN) has been shown to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. In this study, we investigated the effects of SFN on a mouse model of psoriasis induced by imiquimod (IMQ) and its underlying molecular mechanism. Mice treated with SFN showed significant improvement in psoriatic symptoms, including reduced erythema, scales, and cutaneous thickness. Histopathological analysis and immunohistochemical staining revealed decreased expression of K16, K17, and Ki67 in SFN-treated mice, indicating reduced abnormal differentiation of keratinocytes and cutaneous inflammation. SFN treatment also reduced the activation of STAT3 and NF-κB pathways and downregulated pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1β, IL-6, and CCL2. In vitro experiments using HaCaT cells demonstrated that SFN inhibited IL-22 and TNF-α-induced activation of inflammatory pathways and keratinocyte proliferation. Network pharmacology analysis suggested that the KEAP1-NRF2 pathway might be involved in the protective effects of SFN on psoriasis. We observed reduced NRF2 expression in human psoriatic lesions, and subsequent experiments showed that SFN activated KEAP1-NRF2 pathway in vivo and in vitro. Importantly, NRF2-deficient mice exhibited aggravated psoriasis-like symptoms and reduced response to SFN treatment. Our findings indicate that SFN ameliorates psoriasis symptoms and inflammation through the KEAP1-NRF2 pathway, suggesting a potential therapeutic role for SFN in the treatment of psoriasis.

摘要

银屑病是一种慢性炎症性皮肤病,影响着全球数百万人。已证实萝卜硫素(SFN)具有抗炎和抗氧化特性。在这项研究中,我们研究了 SFN 对咪喹莫特(IMQ)诱导的银屑病小鼠模型的影响及其潜在的分子机制。SFN 治疗的小鼠的银屑病症状明显改善,包括红斑、鳞屑和皮肤厚度减少。组织病理学分析和免疫组织化学染色显示,SFN 治疗的小鼠中 K16、K17 和 Ki67 的表达减少,表明角质形成细胞的异常分化和皮肤炎症减少。SFN 治疗还降低了 STAT3 和 NF-κB 通路的激活,并下调了促炎细胞因子 IL-1β、IL-6 和 CCL2。使用 HaCaT 细胞的体外实验表明,SFN 抑制了 IL-22 和 TNF-α诱导的炎症通路和角质形成细胞增殖的激活。网络药理学分析表明,KEAP1-NRF2 通路可能参与 SFN 对银屑病的保护作用。我们观察到人类银屑病病变中 NRF2 表达减少,随后的实验表明 SFN 在体内和体外激活了 KEAP1-NRF2 通路。重要的是,NRF2 缺陷型小鼠表现出更严重的银屑病样症状和对 SFN 治疗的反应降低。我们的研究结果表明,SFN 通过 KEAP1-NRF2 通路改善银屑病症状和炎症,提示 SFN 在治疗银屑病方面具有潜在的治疗作用。
