摘要
Psoriasis is a systemic inflammatory skin disorder that can be associated with sleep disturbance and negatively influence the daily rhythm. The link between the pathomechanism of psoriasis and the circadian rhythm has been suggested by several previous studies. However, there are insufficient data on altered clock mechanisms in psoriasis to prove these theories. Therefore, we investigated the expression of the core clock genes in human psoriatic lesional and non-lesional skin and in human adult low calcium temperature (HaCaT) keratinocytes after stimulation with pro-inflammatory cytokines. Furthermore, we examined the clock proteins in skin biopsies from psoriatic patients by immunohistochemistry. We found that the clock gene transcripts were elevated in psoriatic lesions, especially in non-lesional psoriatic areas, except for rev-erbα, which was consistently downregulated in the psoriatic samples. In addition, the REV-ERBα protein showed a different epidermal distribution in non-lesional skin than in healthy skin. In cytokine-treated HaCaT cells, changes in the amplitude of the bmal1, cry1, rev-erbα and per1 mRNA oscillation were observed, especially after TNFα stimulation. In conclusion, in our study a perturbation of clock gene transcripts was observed in uninvolved and lesional psoriatic areas compared to healthy skin. These alterations may serve as therapeutic targets and facilitate the development of chronotherapeutic strategies in the future.
