ABSTRACT
The individual ingredients of 1,3-Propanediol, Soline, and Fucocert® (PSF) are often used as cosmetic formulations in skin care. In addition, the mixture of Lecigel, Cetiol®CC, Activonol-6, and Activonol-M (LCAA) is often used as a cosmetic base. However, whether the combination of LCAA with PSF (LCAA-PSF) exerts a therapeutic effect on psoriasis remains unclear. In this study, mice induced with imiquimod (IMQ) were divided into three groups and administered 100 mg/day of LCAA, 100 mg/day of LCAA-PSF, or Vaseline on the dorsal skin of each mouse. Weight-matched mice treated with Vaseline alone were used as controls. Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) were used to assess tissue morphology and inflammatory cytokines. RNA sequencing analysis was used to predict the mechanism underlying the action of LCAA-PSF against psoriasis, while immunohistochemical analysis validation was used to identify pertinent molecular pathways. The results demonstrated that LCAA-PSF alleviated IMQ-induced keratinocyte differentiation/ proliferation bydecreasingthe serum levels of inflammatory cytokines such as IL-6, TNF-α, IL-23, and IL-17A and the epidermisof TGFß, Ki67, CK5/6, and VEGF expression, which is associated with angiogenesis and keratinocyte differentiation/ proliferation. These findings highlight the antipsoriatic activity of LCAA-PSF in a psoriasis-like mouse model and suggest this may occurvia the inhibition of inflammatory factor secretionand the TGFß-related signal pathway.
