    The STING Antagonist H-151 Ameliorates Psoriasis via Suppression of STING/NF-κB-Mediated Inflammation

    Investigators analyzed the gene expression profile of STING and related downstream targets in the skin samples of healthy people and psoriasis patients from GEO database. Cellular inhibitory activity of H-151 on STING pathway was confirmed via qPCR and western blotting.

    Abstract

    Evaluation of Skin Sensitization Induced by Four Ionic Liquids

    Test compounds were applied to the ears of female BALB/c mice daily for three days in a primary irritancy/local lymph node assay. Sensitization was assessed in vitro in the direct peptide reactivity assay, KeratinoSens assay, and human cell line activation test.

    Abstract

    Akt Activation-Dependent Protective Effect of Wild Ginseng Adventitious Root Protein against UVA-Induced NIH-3T3 Cell Damage

    Prolonged skin exposure to ultraviolet radiation can lead to development of several acute and chronic diseases, with UVA exposure considered a primary cause of dermal photodamage. Researchers prepared a wild ginseng adventitious root extract that could alleviate UVA irradiation-induced NIH-3T3 cell viability decline.

    Abstract

    Role of Psoriatic Keratinocytes in the Metabolic Reprogramming of Dermal Mesenchymal Stem Cells

    Dermal mesenchymal stem cells were cocultured with primary keratinocytes either from psoriatic lesions or from normal subjects using Transwell plate. Expression levels of proteins were analyzed by Western blotting.

    Abstract

    Interaction of Galectin-7 with HMGCS1 In Vitro May Facilitate Cholesterol Deposition in Cultured Keratinocytes

    The expression of three-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A synthase 1 in cultured keratinocytes was up-regulated by exogenous Gal-7 and down-regulated in Gal-7 siRNA transfected cells.
