Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by abnormal proliferation of keratinocytes and infiltration of inflammatory cells. Significant challenges remain in developing effective and safe targeted therapies for psoriasis. Here, we reported the discovery of novel cystamine derivatives for the treatment of psoriasis. These compounds effectively attenuated LPS-induced inflammation in vitro, and the optimal candidate CS1 ameliorated imiquimod-induced psoriasis-like inflammation in mice. Mechanistically, CS1 bound and inhibited the deacetylase HDAC6, subsequently inhibited the AKT, MAPK, and STAT3 pathways, attenuated the hyperproliferation and altered differentiation of keratinocytes and reduced the infiltration of immune cells. These findings suggest that HDAC6 may serve as a potential target for drug development in the treatment of psoriasis.
银屑病是一种慢性炎症性皮肤病,其特征为角质形成细胞异常增殖和炎症细胞浸润。在开发有效且安全的银屑病靶向治疗方法方面仍存在重大挑战。在此,我们报告了用于治疗银屑病的新型胱胺衍生物的发现。这些化合物在体外有效减轻了脂多糖诱导的炎症,最佳候选物CS1改善了咪喹莫特诱导的小鼠银屑病样炎症。从机制上讲,CS1结合并抑制去乙酰化酶HDAC6,随后抑制AKT、MAPK和STAT3信号通路,减轻角质形成细胞的过度增殖并改变其分化,并减少免疫细胞浸润。这些发现表明,HDAC6可能作为治疗银屑病药物开发的潜在靶点。
