📝 英文原版摘要
Psoriasis is a chronic immune-mediated inflammatory skin disease characterized by excessive keratinocyte proliferation, immune cell infiltration and dysregulated inflammatory signaling. Despite the availability of biologic therapies targeting inflammatory cytokines, many patients experience incomplete responses or relapse, highlighting the need to better understand molecular regulators of cutaneous inflammation. CD109 is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored protein previously identified by our lab as a co-receptor and negative regulator of Transforming Growth Factor-{beta} (TGF-{beta}) signaling that inhibits fibrotic responses. Emerging evidence suggests that CD109 also modulates immune and inflammatory pathways. In this study, we investigated whether epidermal CD109 overexpression influences cutaneous inflammatory responses. Transgenic (TG) mice overexpressing CD109 under the keratin-14 (K14) promoter were used to restrict transgene expression to the epidermis. TG and wild-type (WT) littermates were subjected to lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced skin inflammation. CD109 TG mice exhibited significantly reduced immune cell recruitment, including macrophages and neutrophils, along with decreased expression of the pro-inflammatory mediators IL-1 and MCP-1/CCL2 compared with WT mice. Transcriptomic analysis of primary keratinocytes revealed downregulation of multiple inflammatory signaling pathways in CD109-overexpressing cells, including TNF-/NF-{kappa}B, IL2/STAT5, IFN-{gamma}, IFN-, and IL-6/JAK/STAT3 pathways. Together, these findings demonstrate that epidermal CD109 overexpression attenuates cutaneous inflammatory responses by suppressing key inflammatory signaling networks and limiting immune cell recruitment, suggesting that CD109 may represent an important
regulator of inflammatory signaling in the skin and a potential target for inflammatory skin diseases such as psoriasis.
