A recent study from the Department of Microbiology and Immunobiology, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts; Department of Pediatrics, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas, USA; and Institute for Biomedical Research, University College London, London, UK shows that “Nociceptive sensory neurons drive interleukin-23-mediated psoriasiform skin inflammation.” This study was published in the Apr 23 2014 Nature by Prof Ulrich H. von Andrian, Lorena Riol-Blanco, and others.
On the foundation of this interesting finding, Dr L Boominathan PhD, Director-cum-chief Scientist of GBMD, reports that: Molecular therapy for Psoriasis: Metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) inhibits psoriasiform skin inflammation via down regulation of its target gene. This study suggests that MMP-9, by increasing the expression of its target gene, it may alleviate the interleukin-23-mediated psoriasiform skin inflammation. Together, this study suggests that pharmacological formulations encompassing “MMP-9 or its activators” may be used to treat psoriasiform skin inflammation.
