Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disease whose etiology is directly related to the dysregulation of cutaneous immune homeostasis. However, how to finely modulate the skin immune microenvironment to restore homeostasis remains an important challenge. Inspired by the natural attribute of tumor exosomes in the immune escape, the tumor-derived exosomes as an active targeting nanoplatform for the effective treatment of inflammatory skin disorder were first reported. As keratinocytes and immune cells express high PD-1 during the onset of psoriasiform skin inflammation, the PD-L1-positive exosomes derived from melanoma cells carrying pristimerin with extremely anti-inflammatory potential were yielded to treat psoriasis. The PD-L1+ exosomes carrying pristimerin were characterized, and the cellular uptake was performed to evaluate the PD-1 target capability. The anti-inflammatory action of PD-L1+ exosomes carrying pristimerin was observed in both in vitro and in vivo models of psoriasis. Our exosomes substantially increased pristimerin uptake with CD4+ T cells and keratinocytes, significantly inhibited the proliferation of Th17 cells, and promoted Treg differentiation in a psoriasis-like model. Obviously, PD-L1+ exosomes carrying pristimerin significantly and safely reversed imiquimod (IMQ)-induced psoriasis in mice, indicated by reducing epidermal thickness, decreasing plaque formation, and suppressed excessive inflammatory response, due to its dual targeting of both CD4+ T cells and keratinocytes gathering around the lesion. The inflammatory cell infiltration and pro-inflammatory cytokine production in psoriasis were suppressed by our engineered exosomes. Besides, PD-L1+ exosomes carrying pristimerin treatment alleviated ferroptosis-related changes in psoriatic skin, thereby dampening excessive inflammation and, in turn, decreasing the abnormal proliferation of keratinocytes in psoriatic lesions. This study demonstrates that our engineered exosomes can not only act as a treat-to-target strategy for psoriasis treatment but also provide insight in clinical application of inflammatory disorders.

近年来我国空气中PM2.5污染严重,皮肤是人体抵御环境污染物的重要屏障,容易受到PM2.5的损害.角质形成细胞是皮肤表皮层的主要组成细胞,在皮肤天然免疫反应中发挥着关键作用.PM2.5作用于角质形成细胞,可引发多种生物学效应.本文综述了PM2.5对皮肤角质形成细胞增殖活性、细胞凋亡、细胞自噬、芳香烃受体激活、氧化应激、炎性反应及皮肤屏障相关成分表达改变等方面的影响,为进一步从机制上阐述PM2.5对人体皮肤的损害提供参考.
The roles of PM2.5-induced mitochondria! damage and oxidative stress on mast cell degranulation were examined in vitro. Mast cells were treated with suspensions of PM2.5 in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium at concentrations from 25 to 200 mg/L in the absence or presence of 10 mmol/L N-acetyl-L-cysteine. Biological effects and mitochondrial function were assessed by determining cell viability, beta-hexosaminidase release, interleukin-4 secretion, reactive oxygen species generation, adenosine triphosphate production, potential alteration of mitochondrial membrane, and activities of mitochondrial electron transport chain complexes I and HI. Exposure of mast cells to PM2.5 induced reduction of adenosine triphosphate production, collapse of mitochondrial membrane potential, and inhibition of the activity of complex III. Co-treatment of mast cells exposed to PM2.5 with N-acetyl-L-cysteine attenuated cytotoxicity and the production of reactive oxygen species, and decreased the release of beta-hexosaminidase and interleukin-4. Evidently, PM2.5-induced oxidative stress plays an essential role in mitochondrial toxicity and mast cell activation.

线粒体是细胞能量代谢的核心场所,线粒体内膜两侧产生电化学梯度形成线粒体膜电位(△ψm).细胞在外界刺激作用下,△ψm降低或丧失,线粒体能量代谢和氧化应激状态改变,并通过正反馈逐级放大.一系列研究发现,线粒体Ca2+运可改变△ψm,从而调控肥大细胞脱颗粒,并影响哮喘、过敏性接触性皮炎、荨麻疹的发生.线粒体是一种独立细胞器,作为营养物质氧化并释放能量的场所,其主要功能是合成三磷酸腺苷(ATP)并提供能量,被称为细胞的动力室[1].此外,线粒体还参与Ca2+言号传导和细胞凋亡等许多关键生化过程,是氧自由基的主要来源,线粒体受损后可产生活性氧(ROS),诱导△ψm快速去极化,进一步加重呼吸链损伤,最终导致ATP产能障碍[2].因此,线粒体功能可通过评估△ψm这一关键参数实现.近年研究表明,哮喘[3]、过敏性皮炎[4]、荨麻疹四等过敏性疾病的病理生理学机制与氧化应激下线粒体功能障碍密切相关.现就△ψm的作用意义、检测方法及其在过敏性疾病和其他疾病中的作用研究进行综述.

Objective The second messenger inositol triphosphate (IP3) is involved in signal transduction in multiple cell types. We evaluated the effects of high-dose levocetirizine on chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) and examined the significance of serum IP3 level in the pathogenesis of CSU. Methods Fifteen patients with refractory CSU were given oral levocetirizine at a dose of 15 mg once daily for 7 days, and treatment efficacy was determined using the Urticaria Activity Score and by evaluating wheal-and-erythema reactions and itching. The serum concentration of IP3 at specific time points was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results The mean serum concentration of IP3 was 43.54 ± 41.97 pg/mL prior to treatment, 18.40 ± 17.53 pg/mL after treatment, and 1.31 ± 0.92 pg/mL in a healthy control group. The mean concentration of IP3 was significantly higher before treatment than after treatment, and the level of IP3 in the patient group before and after treatment was significantly higher than that in the control group. Conclusion High-dose levocetirizine was shown to be effective in the treatment of CSU. The level of serum IP3 was positively correlated with CSU activity, indicating that IP3 may play an important role in the pathogenesis of this condition.
大气细颗粒物(PM2.5)污染形势日趋严峻,可对全身多个系统造成损害,对人类健康构成严重威胁.为探讨PM2.5对皮肤健康的影响,本文就PM2.5对过敏性皮肤病、皮肤老化、色斑形成等方面的影响作一综述,从机制上阐述PM2.5对皮肤的危害,以期为皮肤病的防治提供新思路.
The etiology of chronic urticaria (CU) remains elusive. Histamine-releasing factor (HRF) is reported to have a proinflammatory role in asthma and immediate hypersensitivity of the skin. The aim of this study was to examine the role of HRF in the pathogenesis of CU. Forty patients with CU were enrolled and their serum HRF concentrations were determined by ELISA. The results demonstrated that the concentrations of HRF and HRF-reactive IgE in the CU group were significantly higher than those in the control group, and there was a significant linear correlation between HRF and HRF-reactive IgE concentrations (r = 0.859, p < 0.001) in CU patients. Additionally, the HRF-reactive IgE concentration was significantly correlated with the disease activity (r = 0.693, p < 0.0001). HRF and HRF-reactive IgE alone failed to activate LAD2 cells. After being primed by the patient sera with the highest IgE concentrations and stimulated by HRF, β-hexosaminidase can be released from LAD2 cells. Our findings suggest that the synergistic actions of HRF and HRF-reactive IgE may play important roles in the pathogenesis of CU.
With the rapid development of industrialization and city construction, air pollution has become an increasingly serious problem. All kinds of air pollutants such as smoke and suspended particulate matter (PM), nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, ozone, volatile organiccompounds continue to threaten human health; especially the PM2.5 which can easily deposite in the bronchioles and alveoli, enter the human blood circulation, and causes a series of pathological and physiological changes, finally leading to the occurrence of the disease. In recent years, most of the research is focus on the impact of PM2.5 on respiratory and cardiovascular system, meanwhile the research on the relationship between PM2.5 and allergic diseases is also increasing gradually. This article reviews the relationship between PM2.5 and allergic diseases, on the basis of the summarization of the new understanding of allergic disease mechanisms.
Particulate matter (PM2.5) is an important element of atmospheric pollutant in city. Because of having the features such as small particle size, large area, strong activity, easy to carry toxic and harmful substances such as heavy metals, microorganisms, and the long stay in the atmosphere and long-conveyed distance, PM2.5 has a great impact on human health. At present, there are a lot of studies on the pathogenic mechanism of PM2.5, such as the change of immune function, the induction of oxidative stress and damage, gene mutation and DNA damage, but the pathogenic mechanism is not yet fully understood. In this paper, we review the pathogenic mechanisms of PM2.5.
Objective To investigate the biological effect of atmospheric fine particulate matter (PM2.5) on mast cells in vitro.Methods PM2.5 was collected in the nonindustrial zone of Chongqing city using an intelligent medium-volume total suspended particulate air sampler and prepared into mixed suspensions of different concentrations (0,12.5,25.0,50.0,100.0,200.0,400.0 and 800.0 μg/mL).Human mast cell line LAD2 exposed to these suspensions were examined for cellular production of β-hexosaminidase using microplate method and for the release levels of histamine,interleukin 4 (IL-4) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) using ELISA.Results Exposure of the mast cells to 25 μg/mL PM2.5 resulted in significant increases in the levels of β-hexosaminidase [(23.78 ± 3.98) % vs (14.05 ± 1.12) %,P<0.01],histamine (12.32 ±0.18 vs 9.72 ±0.23 μg/mL,P<0.01) and IL-4 (267.63 ±7.97 vs 154.25 ±7.71 pg/mL,P <0.01) in the supernatant as compared with the cells without PM2.5 exposure.Within the concentration range from 12.5 to 100.0 g/mL,an increasing concentration of PM2.5 suspension caused progressive increase in ROS levels in the cells,and the cells exposed to 25 g/mL of the suspension showed a significantly higher ROS level than the cells without PM2.5 exposure (7.99 ±0.29 vs 5.88 ±0.49 ng/mL,P <0.01).Conclusion PM2.5 exposure may induce ROS production via oxidative stress to promote the production of cytokines and inflammatory factors in LAD2 cells in vitro.
