ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Psoriasis is a chronic immune-mediated inflammatory skin disease that affects the quality of life and mental health of approximately 150 million people worldwide. Ze-Qi-Tang (ZQT) is a classic compound used in China for lung disease; however, its mechanism of action in psoriasis remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the therapeutic effect of the ZQT formula on psoriasis and explore the underlying molecular mechanisms.METHODS:
Peripheral blood samples were collected from patients with psoriasis and healthy individuals. Flow cytometry was used to detect changes in the proportions of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) and other immune cells. Psoriasis was induced in mice by the daily application of imiquimod. ZQT was administered separately or in combination with anti-Gr1 antibody to deplete MDSC. The glycolysis levels of the MDSCs were detected using a Seahorse analyzer. The p21/Hif1α/Glut1 pathway was identified and validated by mRNA sequence, RT-qPCR, WB, IF, and the application of p21 inhibitor UC2288.RESULTS:
The number of MDSCs was significantly increased in patients with psoriasis, with the increased expression of p21, Hif1α, and Glut1 in MDSCs. ZQT significantly alleviated psoriasis-like skin lesions in mice. ZQT formula significantly reduced the number of MDSCs in psoriatic-like mice and enhanced their suppressive capacity for T cells. The efficacy of ZQT in alleviating psoriatic dermatitis is compromised by MDSC depletion. ZQT decreased the expressions of p21, Hif1α, and Glut1-induced glycolysis in MDSCs, thereby inhibiting Th17 cell differentiation.CONCLUSION:
These suggest that ZQT alleviates IMQ-induced psoriatic dermatitis, by inhibiting p21/Hif1α/Glut1-induced glycolysis in MDSCs.Palabras clave
