RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Psoriasis, a T cell-mediated chronic inflammatory skin condition, is characterized by the interaction of T cells with various cell types, forming an inflammatory microenvironment that sustains psoriatic inflammation. The homeostasis of these tissue-resident T cells are supported by fibroblasts, the primary structural cells in the dermis. In psoriasis, there is an increased expression of matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP2), mediating the structural alterations of skin tissues and the modulation of inflammation. Additionally, the CD100-PLXNB2 axis is known to enhance psoriasis inflammation via keratinocytes, and CD103 levels are associated with the severity of psoriasis upon relapse. OBJECTIVE: To elucidate the role of fibroblasts and the MMP2/CD100 axis in modulating psoriasis inflammation. METHODS: CD100 expression and function in psoriasis were assessed using immunofluorescence, ELISA, single-cell transcriptome sequencing, cellular interaction analyses, and qRT-PCR. CD8+ T cells from psoriasis patients were isolated using magnetic beads to investigate the regulatory effect of MMP2 on CD100 expression on their membranes. Single-cell transcriptome sequencing, spatial transcriptome sequencing, mimetic timing analysis, immunofluorescence, and flow cytometry were utilized to determine the origin of MMP2 and its impact on CD103+CD8+ T cells. The hypotheses were further validated in vivo using MMP2 and CD100 inhibitors. RESULTS: Soluble CD100 (sCD100) was significantly upregulated in both psoriatic lesions and peripheral blood, amplifying psoriasis inflammation by promoting the production of inflammatory cytokines by keratinocytes, fibroblasts, and endothelial cells through the sCD100-PLXNB2 axis. Fibroblasts with high MMP2 expression (MMP2hi) exacerbate psoriasis symptoms by facilitating CD100 shedding from CD8+ T cell membranes. Additionally, it was demonstrated that fibroblasts enhance the upregulation of the CD8+ T cell residency factor CD103 in co-cultures with CD8+ T cells. Inhibitors targeting MMP2 and CD100 proved effective in reducing inflammation in a model of imiquimod-induced psoriasis. CONCLUSION: Our findings underscore the pivotal role of MMP2hi fibroblasts in the amplification and recurrence of inflammatory responses in psoriasis. These fibroblasts augment psoriasis inflammation through the CD100-PLXNB2 axis by facilitating CD100 shedding on CD8+ T cell membranes and by upregulating CD103, thereby enhancing CD8+ T cell residency.
RESUMEN
Tissue-resident memory T cells (Trm) are a sub-population of memory T cells that reside in skin tissue. Recent studies have revealed potential role of Trm in the reoccurrence of psoriasis, as these cells tend to be profusely infiltrated in the lesions observed during psoriasis relapse. Trm can be classified into CD8+ Trm cells that are distributed mainly in the epidermis and CD4+ Trm cells in the dermis. CD8+ Trm is derived from circulating memory T cells and CD49a-CD8+ Trm takes a crucial role in psoriasis relapse. In contrast, CD4+ Trm may originate from exTh17 cells and exTreg cells emerging from the inflammatory process. Since IL-23 can activate Trm, neutralizing antibodies against IL-23 are suggested to be more effective in clinical treatment. This review will focus on Trm cells in psoriasis relapsed lesions to reveal their mechanisms in the pathogenesis, relapse and transformation of psoriasis.
RESUMEN
Background: There are still some gaps in the summary and generalization of cosmetic-related adverse reaction reports. Objective: The aim of this study is to summarize and analyze the occurrence of cosmetic adverse reactions in Shanghai Han population by using available survey data. Materials and Methods: Collection, statistics and analysis of patients with cosmetic adverse reactions in Shanghai Huashan Hospital from 2017 to 2021. Results: Among the 1004 patients, most of them (96.71%) were diagnosed as cosmetic contact dermatitis, which often occurred within 3 days of using cosmetics (51.79%). A total of 260 patients were tested with patch test, but the compliance rate was only 18.08%. Among them, 240 patients underwent additional European standard allergen tests, and positive allergens were detected in 210 cases (87.5%). Univariate analysis revealed that dosage form (emulsion and cream), age (≤25 years) and the allergic ingredients triethanolamine, rose oil, propylene glycol, thiomersal and musk ambrette are associated with the occurrence of cosmetic adverse reactions within seven days. A logit prediction model was also successfully constructed: Logit (P) = 1.710-0.796×1 + 1.185×2 -3.650X3-1.335X4. Conclusion: This study complements the data reported on cosmetic adverse reactions in the Chinese Han population and suggests that in future clinical diagnosis and data collection, emphasis should be placed on patch testing, combining the patch test with cosmetic protoplast with the European standard allergen test to improve the detection rate.
