The antimicrobial peptide LL37 is a T-cell autoantigen in psoriasis

Abstract: Psoriasis is a common T-cell-mediated skin disease with 2-3% prevalence worldwide. Psoriasis is considered to be an autoimmune disease, but the precise nature of the autoantigens triggering T-cell activation remains poorly understood. Here we find that two-thirds of patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis harbour CD4 þ and/or CD8 þ T cells specific for LL37, an antimicrobial peptide (AMP) overexpressed in psoriatic skin and reported to trigger activation of innate immune cells. LL37-specific T cells … Show more

“…Although it has been thought that psoriasis is caused by an autoimmune mechanism,91 recent studies using mouse models suggest the involvement of innate immunity 92. High frequency of γδ T cells is detected in psoriasiform dermal lesions in mice induced by IMQ, and these cells produce IL‐17 through stimulation with IL‐23,23 indicating the innate immune nature of the disease.…”

“…In this report, however, V γ 9 + V δ 2 + cells were activated to produce cytokines from keratinocytes by the specific antigen, suggesting that recognition of specific antigens may be important for the development of psoriasis. Because Th17 cells94 and ILC3s95 as well as γδ 17 cells91 are also detected in the psoriatic skin, the involvement of autoimmunity and the main source of IL‐17 during the development of psoriasis still remain obscure in humans.…”

“…Эти клетки вырабатывают широкий спектр цитокинов, кото-рые, действуя на кератиноциты и другие кожные рези-дентные клетки, индуцируют гиперпролиферацию эпи-дермиса, неоангиогенез и воспаление кожи в целом. Уни-кальное место в иммунопатогенезе псориаза занимают два аутоантигена: кателицидин (cathelicidin/LL-37) и ADAMTS-подобный белок 5 [25,26], презентация кото-рых ДК индуцирует синтез ИЛ23. В коже пациентов с псориазом отмечено увеличение содержания Th17-кле-ток, γδТ-клеток, ILC3-клеток, клеток -ЕК, тучных кле-ток, синтезирующих ИЛ17, ИЛ23, ИЛ22, ИЛ23Р и ФНОα [27].…”

“…It can occur at any age, although the majority of cases develop before the age of 50 years and it is uncommon in children. Psoriasis is considered to be an autoimmune disease, and the precise nature of the autoantigens triggering T-cell responses is being elucidated [2]. Psoriasis has a strong genetic component with the majority of the patients having relatives affected [1].…”
