Psoriasis is one of the most common chronic inflammatory skin disorders, with cutaneous and systemic manifestations and substantial negative effects on affected patients' quality of life. [1] MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are post-transcriptional regulators of gene expression. [2] Recent studies have revealed that interactions between miRNAs and their targets play critical roles in regulating distinct signalling pathways during skin differentiation. [3,4] Evidence is rapidly accumulating for the roles of miRNAs in the pathogenesis of inflammatory skin disorders. [5][6][7] In previous studies, others and we have shown that miR-197-3p (hereafter named miR-197) expression is downregulated in the psoriatic lesions compared to normal or uninvolved psoriatic skin. [6,8] Moreover, we showed that miR-197 modulates IL-22 and IL-17 signalling in normal keratinocytes (KC). Specifically, we found that both IL-22 and IL-17 activated the transcription of miR-197, and miR-197 targets and inhibits the expression of both the IL22RA1 subunit of
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
