Overactivation of inflammatory signaling in keratinocytes is critical for psoriatic skin inflammation, but its regulatory mechanisms remain incompletely understood. Here, we demonstrate that the cytokine CSBF inhibits both individual and synergistic proinflammatory signaling induced by IL-17A and TNF-α (IL-17A/TNF-α) in keratinocytes, playing a protective role in psoriatic inflammation. The expression of CSBF was increased in the skin lesions and serum of psoriatic patients, and IL-17A/TNF-α enhanced its production. Csbf deletion exacerbated IMQ-induced psoriasis-like skin inflammation and led to hyperactivation of IL-17A/TNF-α signaling in keratinocytes. The CSBF protein significantly ameliorated psoriatic manifestations and suppressed IL-17A/TNF-α signaling through the receptor SUSD2. Mechanistically, CSBF-SUSD2 competed with TRAF6 and TNFR1 for interaction with ACT1, inhibiting the IL-17A/TNF-α signaling pathway. Overall, the anti-inflammatory cytokine CSBF has the potential to be a therapeutic option for psoriasis by targeting keratinocytes.
角质形成细胞中炎症信号的过度激活对银屑病皮肤炎症至关重要,但其调控机制仍未完全阐明。在此,我们证明细胞因子CSBF可抑制角质形成细胞中由IL-17A和TNF-α(IL-17A/TNF-α)诱导的单独和协同促炎信号,在银屑病炎症中发挥保护作用。银屑病患者皮肤病变和血清中CSBF的表达增加,且IL-17A/TNF-α增强其产生。Csbf基因缺失加剧了咪喹莫特诱导的银屑病样皮肤炎症,并导致角质形成细胞中IL-17A/TNF-α信号的过度激活。CSBF蛋白通过受体SUSD2显著改善银屑病表现并抑制IL-17A/TNF-α信号。机制上,CSBF-SUSD2与TRAF6和TNFR1竞争与ACT1的相互作用,抑制IL-17A/TNF-α信号通路。总体而言,抗炎细胞因子CSBF有可能通过靶向角质形成细胞成为银屑病的一种治疗选择。
