This document discusses the pathogenesis of psoriasis. It notes that psoriasis is one of the most common human afflictions, affecting 25 million people in Europe and North America. It is caused by abnormal growth and differentiation of keratinocytes, and is reversible with appropriate treatment. Genetics and immune system activation also play a role. Recent research has provided insights into the role of the immune system and genetic factors, and psoriasis is now considered a model for other chronic inflammatory diseases. Novel immunotherapies targeting cytokines like TNF have been approved for treatment of severe psoriasis based on clinical studies demonstrating their efficacy.

Vitiligo is an acquired organ specific autoimmune disease of unknown etiology characterized by white patches in the skin. The patho-physiology of this disease is characterized by loss of functional melanocytes associated with infiltration of reactive T cells and dendritic cells. So, there are many evidences support that autoimmunity has a great role in Vitiligo-pathogenesis. Many efforts were made in areas of Histopathology, Immunology, and molecular biology to solve vitiligo puzzle. However, no clear etiology was described. We tried here to review some histopathological findings that make strong evidences for the autoimmunity in this disease.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

• The IL-23 psoriasis model is 21
days long and involves the
injection of IL-23 into the ear of
C57Bl/6, which produces
psoriasis-like inflammation that is
dependent on IL-22. IL-22 induces
keratinocyte proliferation and
epidermal hyperplasia contributing
to epidermal thickening.

32. Animal model/mutated mice
Nature asia 2012
• Xiaoxia Li and colleagues report that the dysregulation of IL-17
signaling in TH17 cells contributes to disease.
• They use a disease model of psoriasis in mice harboring a specific
mutation in Act1, protein that interacts with the IL-17 receptor and
for which there is known mutation that is also associated with
human disease.
• Normally IL-17 signaling triggers a self-limiting inflammatory
response, but Act1 mutant mice spontaneously develop chronic skin
inflammation.
• The authors find mutant Act1 fails to associate with a chaperone
protein hsp90, which would cease the inflammatory response. As a
result, TH17 cells cannot turn off production of IL-22.
• The authors found that blocking IL-22 with neutralizing antibodies
alleviated skin disease in the mutant mice. These findings suggest
that anti-IL-22 therapies might be beneficial to those patients that
express defective Act1.

independent signals within previously known loci.
• The newly identified loci shared with other autoimmune
diseases include candidate genes with roles in regulating
T-cell function (such as RUNX3, TAGAP and STAT3).
• Notably, they included candidate genes whose products
are involved in innate host defense, including interferon-
mediated antiviral responses (DDX58), macrophage
activation (ZC3H12C) and nuclear factor (NF)-κB
signaling (CARD14 and CARM1).

• … psoriasis induces
physiological changes both at
the lesion site and at the
systemic level, which select for
specific differential microbiota
among the assayed clinical
skin types. These differences
in microbial community
structure in psoriasis patients
are potentially of
pathophysiologic and
diagnostic significance.

2013, we identified 25 studies that met the inclusion criteria.
• Of 7969 patients with psoriasis, 950 tested positive for ADAs. Antibodies against infliximab,
etanercept, adalimumab and ustekinumab were reported in 5·4–43·6%, 0–18·3%, 6–45% and
3·8–6% of patients, respectively.
• Anti-infliximab antibodies were associated with lower serum infliximab concentrations in three
studies, and decreased treatment response in five studies.
• ADAs against etanercept were non-neutralizing and not associated with any apparent effects on
clinical response.
• Antiadalimumab antibodies were associated with lower serum adalimumab concentrations in
three of five studies, and reduced clinical efficacy in four studies.
• Two of six studies reported that antiustekinumab antibodies were associated with lower Psoriasis
Area and Severity Index responses, and three ustekinumab studies noted that most of these
antibodies were neutralizing.
• Although the use of concomitant methotrexate with biological agents to prevent ADA formation in
other immune-mediated diseases is promising, their use in psoriasis is sparse.
• ADA development remains a challenge with biological therapies and therefore should be
considered in patients with psoriasis who experience diminished treatment response.

• Tregalizumab (BT-061):
• Tregalizumab enhances a natural mechanism of
down regulating excessive immune responses
and is therefore developed to treat disease
conditions that originate from an overreaction of
the immune system.
• “Tregalizumab is a humanized, agonistic
monoclonal antibody which binds to a unique
epitope of CD4, and induces Treg-specific
activation and suppresses CD4 and CD8
effector cell proliferation and activity in vitro.”
54. CD6
• Itlizumab, premier anticorps humanisé
(BIOCON)
• Itolizumab, the first humanized anti CD-6
monoclonal antibody, successfully met the pre-
specified primary endpoint of significant
improvement in PASI-75 (Psoriasis Area and
Severity Index) score after 12 weeks of
treatment in patients with moderate to severe
psoriasis compared to placebo. It also met
multiple secondary endpoints after 12 and 28
weeks of treatment.
55. Cell therapies: anti-peptide
• There are several compelling lines of evidence for T
cell involvement in psoriasis, including the initiation
of psoriatic lesions in immunodeficient mice after
transfer of superantigen or IL-2 activated peripheral
blood leukocytes from psoriasis patients. In
addition, intra-epidermal CD8+ T cells isolated from
plaque regions were found to be oligoclonal,
expressing BV3 and BV13S1 genes in their TCRs

56. BTLA
• How BTLA is regulated
• Using a combination of human cells and a mouse
model of psoriasis, the research team described
a new pathway that regulates BTLA expression.
Ware's research showed that the "retinoid-related
orphan receptor gamma-t" (ROR gamma-t)
nuclear transcription factor works with interleukin
(IL)-7, to coordinate the expression of BTLA,
which in turn regulates gamma-delta T cell
responses to inflammatory stimuli.
• The study found that ROR gamma-t works to
inhibit BTLA transcription, thereby limiting its
availability in gamma-delta T-cells. This allows
the expansion of T-cell numbers and their
production of inflammatory cytokines, including
IL-17 and TNF.

• Janssen has acquired immunology rights to Astellas'
oral Janus Kinase (JAK) inhibitor ASP015K, which has
completed phase IIa trials for plaque psoriasis and is currently
in phase IIb for rheumatoid arthritis.
• But the agreement only covers ASP015K as an oral treatment for
immune-mediated inflammatory diseases.
• Meanwhile, Pfizer's tofacitinib is on-track to become the first JAK
inhibitor to reach the market for rheumatoid arthritis.
• Tyrosine kinase 2 (Tyk2), a member of the Jak kinase family,
mediates signals triggered by various cytokines, which are related
to the pathogenesis of psoriasis. Int. Immunol. (2013) doi:

60. IL-17
• Ixekizumab (Eli Lilly)
• New England 2012:
– At 12 weeks, the percentage of patients with a reduction in the PASI
score by at least 75% was significantly greater with ixekizumab (except
with the lowest, 10-mg dose) — 150 mg (82.1%), 75 mg (82.8%), and
25 mg (76.7%) — than with placebo (7.7%, P<0.001 for each
comparison), as was the percentage of patients with a reduction in the
PASI score by at least 90%: 150 mg (71.4%), 75 mg (58.6%), and 25
mg (50.0%) versus placebo (0%, P<0.001 for each comparison).
– Similarly, a 100% reduction in the PASI score was achieved in
significantly more patients in the 150-mg group (39.3%) and the 75-mg
group (37.9%) than in the placebo group (0%) (P<0.001 for both
comparisons).
– Significant differences occurred at as early as 1 week and were
sustained through 20 weeks. Adverse events occurred in 63% of
patients in both the combined ixekizumab groups and in the placebo
group. No serious adverse events or major cardiovascular events were
observed.
62. IL-22
• Cytokines are critical checkpoints of inflammation. The treatment of human autoimmune disease
has been revolutionized by targeting inflammatory cytokines as key drivers of disease
pathogenesis. Despite this, there exist numerous pitfalls when translating preclinical data into the
clinic.
• We developed an integrative biology approach combining human disease transcriptome data sets
with clinically relevant in vivo models in an attempt to bridge this translational gap.
• We chose interleukin-22 (IL-22) as a model cytokine because of its potentially important
proinflammatory role in epithelial tissues. Injection of IL-22 into normal human skin grafts
produced marked inflammatory skin changes resembling human psoriasis. Injection of anti–IL-22
monoclonal antibody in a human xenotransplant model of psoriasis, developed specifically to test
potential therapeutic candidates, efficiently blocked skin inflammation. Bioinformatic analysis
integrating both the IL-22 and anti–IL-22 cytokine transcriptomes and mapping them onto a
psoriasis disease gene coexpression network identified key cytokine-dependent hub genes.
• Using knockout mice and small-molecule blockade, we show that one of these hub genes, the so
far unexplored serine/threonine kinase PIM1, is a critical checkpoint for human skin inflammation
and potential future therapeutic target in psoriasis.
• Using in silico integration of human data sets and biological models, we were able to identify a
new target in the treatment of psoriasis.

• The anti-miR-21 molecules are tiny strands of
nucleotides that specifically glom onto miR-21 and
prevent it from functioning.
• Wagner and his colleagues injected this treatment

insults and microbial pathogens. Diverse and functionally
specialized subsets of immune cells in the skin sense
and respond to infection or various barrier breaches to
activate an immune response and eventually, return to
homeostasis. However, deregulated immune responses
can also cause skin disorders, such as psoriasis.
