Abstract

Psoriasis is an inflammatory skin disease affecting ∼2% of the world's population, but the aetiology remains incompletely understood. Recently, microbiota have been shown to differentially regulate the development of autoimmune diseases, but their influence on psoriasis is incompletely understood. We show here that adult mice treated with antibiotics that target Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria develop ameliorated psoriasiform dermatitis induced by imiquimod, with decreased pro-inflammatory IL-17- and IL-22-producing T cells. Surprisingly, mice treated neonatally with these antibiotics develop exacerbated psoriasis induced by imiquimod or recombinant IL-23 injection when challenged as adults, with increased IL-22-producing γδ(+) T cells. 16S rRNA gene compositional analysis reveals that neonatal antibiotic-treatment dysregulates gut and skin microbiota in adults, which is associated with increased susceptibility to experimental psoriasis. This link between neonatal antibiotic-mediated imbalance in microbiota and development of experimental psoriasis provides precedence for further investigation of its specific aetiology as it relates to human psoriasis VSports手机版. .

Skin and ear of wild type C57BL/6 mice were treated by topical application of imiquimod cream (Fougera, n=4) or control cream (Vaseline, n=3) for 6 consecutive days.

H&E stained ear and back skin sections of imiquimod treated and control mice. Scale bar, 200 μm. (c) Thickness of skin measured by Digimatic Caliper at day 6 in control and imiquimod treated mice. Data showed represents average of at least two measurements. (d) Ear thickness of imiquimod and control cream treated mice monitored daily. Ear thickness was measured using Digimatic Caliper.

Figure 3. Neonatal antibiotic treatment of mice increases severity of psoriasis.
Breeding pairs were given antibiotics vancomycin+polymyxin B in drinking water immediately after pups delivery for 3 weeks of rearing (neoATB). After weaning, mice were housed or cohoused (mice without antibiotics treatment together with mice treated with antibiotics) in normal specific pathogen-free conditions for next 8 weeks. The mice were then treated with imiquimod cream for 4 consecutive days. (a) Representative photographs of back skin in controls (mice without antibiotic treatment); neonatally antibiotics treated mice (neoATB) or cohoused mice (control–neoATB resp. NeoATB–control) after imiquimod treatment. Photos were taken at day 5. (b) H&E stained skin sections of control, neoATB and cohoused mice after imiquimod treatment. Scale bar, 200 μm. (c) Weight loss of control, neoATB and cohoused mice during imiquimod treatment monitored daily. (d) Skin thickness of control, neoATB and cohoused mice measured at day 5. Skin thickness was measured by digimatic caliper by at least two investigators and data showed represents average of at least two measurements. (e) Flow cytometric analysis of single-positive TCRγδ+Vγ4+IL-17+ cells or CD3+TCRβ+ IL-17+ cells in control (n=8), neoATB (n=7) and cohoused mice (n=5) after imiquimod treatment.
