Abstract

Psoriasis is an immune-mediated chronic inflammatory skin disease with a complex etiology. The proinflammatory cytokine IL-17A is known to play key role in the pathogenesis of psoriasis, and recently anti-IL-17A antibodies have been approved for psoriasis treatment. Here, we discuss our recent findings demonstrating that IκBζ, a transcriptional co-activator, plays a crucial role in the development of psoriasis by mediating IL-17A-driven effects. These findings have significant implications as they uncover a novel crucial regulatory mechanism involved in psoriasis development, and identify IκBζ as a possible future target in the treatment of psoriasis and other IL-17A-driven diseases.
