Abstract
Psoriasis is a kind of severe immune-mediated systemic skin disorder, becoming a worldwide public health concern. Daturataturin A (DTA), a withanolide compound, exerts excellent anti-inflammatory and anti-proliferative properties. The objective of this study is to elucidate the effect of DTA on psoriasis and its potential mechanism. We established psoriasis-like keratinocytes model by stimulating HaCaT cells with M5 cocktail cytokines including Interleukin (IL)-17A, IL-22, oncostatin M, IL-1α, and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), followed by intervention with DTA. The potential effects and mechanisms of DTA on psoriasis were evaluated in vitro. DTA was found to be able to inhibit hyperproliferation, promote apoptosis, decrease the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, downregulate keratin expression, and improve lipid metabolism via regulating the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) signaling pathway by M5 cocktail cytokines stimulation in HaCaT cells. DTA ameliorated lipid metabolism of psoriasis and exerted the potential anti-psoriasis effects by regulating PPAR pathway in vitro, suggesting that DTA may act as a new therapeutic agent for psoriasis.
