Prominent production of IL-20 by CD68+/CD11c+ myeloid-derived cells in psoriasis: Gene regulation and cellular effects

Abstract

We assessed expression of IL-20 and its receptors in psoriasis, given the recent implication of IL-20 in epidermal hyperplasia. Psoriatic lesional (LS) skin consistently expressed more IL-20 mRNA than nonlesional (NL) skin. Immunoreactivity to IL-20 protein was greater in LS tissue and mainly localized to infiltrating CD68+/CD11c+ (myeloid-derived) dermal leukocytes. Because this contrasted with earlier reports of a keratinocyte source, we assessed IL-20 mRNA expression in a variety of cells in vitro, and confirmed a myeloid-derived cellular source (monocytes). Plastic adhesion, activation of beta2 integrins, and incubation with tumor necrosis factor-alpha stimulated expression in these cells. IL-20 receptor (IL-20R)alpha and IL-20Rbeta mRNA was decreased in LS versus NL skin, which also contrasted with earlier findings. To investigate the relationship between IL-20 and disease activity, we examined psoriasis patients treated with the CD2-targeted agent alefacept. In therapeutic responders, lesional IL-20 mRNA decreased to NL levels, suggesting that CD2+ leukocytes may proximally regulate IL-20. Finally, to assess IL-20 function, we used microarrays to screen IL-20-treated keratinocytes, which demonstrated upregulation of disea...Continue Reading

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.
