Abstract

Psoriasis, characterized by aberrant epidermal keratinocyte proliferation and differentiation, is a chronic inflammatory immune-related skin disease. Diosmetin (Dios), derived from citrus fruits, exhibits anti-inflammatory and anti-proliferative properties. In this study, IL-17A-induced HaCaT cell model and Imiquimod (IMQ)-induced mouse model were utilized to investigate the effects of Dios against psoriasis. The morphology and biomarkers of psoriasis were regarded as the preliminary evaluation including PASI score, skin thickness, H&E staining, EdU staining and inflammatory factors. Transcriptomics analysis revealed PGC-1α as a key target for Dios in ameliorating psoriasis. Specifically, Dios, through PGC-1α, suppressed YAP-mediated proliferation and inflammatory responses in psoriatic keratinocytes. In conclusion, Dios shows promise in psoriasis treatment and holds potential for development as targeted medications for application in psoriasis.
