Objective This study intends to use the imiquimod (IMQ) mouse psoriasis model to explore the regulation of Cosentyx (Cosentyx) on skin inflammation and autophagy in psoriasis mice through the C5a / C5aR1 pathway.
Methods 27 8-week-old male BALB/c mice were randomly divided into 3 groups (9 mice in each group): Blank group, Model group, and Cosentyx treatment group. treat group), except for the blank control group, the other two groups used imiquimod (IMQ) to prepare psoriasis models. Twice, 4.5 mg/kg each time) intervention. The effect of Keshan Ting on the pathological damage of the skin tissue of psoriasis model mice was observed by HE staining, and the levels of pro-inflammatory factors IL-4, IL-8, TNF-α, and IL-1β in mouse skin lesions were detected by ELISA. Secretion, detect myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity in mouse skin lesions by spectrophotometry, and detect Beclin 1 expression and LC3-Ⅱ/LC3-I value in mouse skin lesions by Western blot. Immunohistochemical method was used to detect the expression levels of C5a, C3, C5aR1, C1qB in mouse skin lesions.
As a result, it can inhibit the expression of IL-4, IL-8, TNF-α, IL-1β and MPO in the skin lesions, and increase the expression of Beclin 1 and the LC3-Ⅱ/LC3-I ratio. Down-regulated the expression of C1qB, C3, C5a, and C5aR1 molecules in the C5a / C5aR1 pathway.
Conclusion Keshanting inhibits the C5a / C5aR1 pathway, and can regulate the expression of inflammatory factors in psoriasis skin lesions through the C5a / C5aR1 pathway, slowing down the inflammatory response of psoriasis, and at the same time, it can enhance the psoriatic skin lesions. Autophagy, but it is unclear whether the C5a / C5aR1 pathway regulates autophagy in psoriasis skin lesions, so the mechanism needs to be further determined.
