Abstract

Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease caused by an IL-23- and IL-17 driven immune response. Monocytes are regarded as key immune regulatory cells, which can be divided into three well-defined subsets: classical monocytes, intermediate monocytes, and non-classical monocytes (ncMo). The function of ncMo in skin inflammation remains largely unknown. Yet, our previous studies on slan+ (6-sulfo LacNAc) ncMo suggested that these cells contribute to human psoriasis skin inflammation. We here report on the role of ncMo in a model of psoriasis-like skin inflammation induced by imiquimod (IMQ).
