Description
Our group recently described a population of antigen presenting cells that appear to be critical in psoriasis pathogenesis, termed inflammatory myeloid dendritic cells (CD11c+ BDCA1-). Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells type-1 (TREM-1) signaling was a major canonical pathway in the published transcriptome of these cells. TREM-1 is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily, active through the DAP12 signaling pathway, with an unknown ligand. Activation through TREM-1 induces inflammatory cytokines including IL-8, MCP/CCL2 and TNF. We now show that TREM-1 was expressed in the skin of healthy and psoriatic patients, and there was increased soluble TREM-1 in the circulation of psoriasis patients. In psoriasis lesions, TREM-1 was co-localized with dendritic cells as well as CD31+ endothelial cells. TREM-1 expression was reduced with successful NB-UVB, etanercept and anti-IL-17 treatments. An in vitro model of PGN-activated monocytes as inflammatory myeloid DCs was developed to study TREM-1 blockade, and treatment with a TREM-1 blocking chimera decreased allogeneic Th17 activation, as well as IL-17 production. Furthermore, TREM-1 blockade of ex vivo psoriatic dendritic cells in an alloMLR also showed a decrease in IL-17. Together, these data suggest that the TREM-1 signaling pathway offers a novel therapeutic target to prevent the effects of inflammatory myeloid DCs in psoriasis.
