BACKGROUND

Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease and various stress factors mediate inflammation. Heat shock protein (HSP) 90 plays an important role in cell survival; cytokine signaling, such as interleukin-17 receptor signaling; and immune responses.

OBJECTIVE

We sought to elucidate protein expression and distribution of HSP90 in psoriasis.

METHODS

HSP90 expression and its cellular source were analyzed on normal-appearing, nonlesional, lesional, and ustekinumab-treated psoriatic skin using immunohistochemistry and double immunofluorescence.

RESULTS

HSP90α, the inducible isoform of HSP90, was significantly up-regulated in epidermal keratinocytes and mast cells of lesional skin and down-regulated after ustekinumab therapy.

LIMITATIONS

There was a limited sample size.

CONCLUSIONS

HSP90 from keratinocytes and mast cells is a key regulator of psoriatic inflammation and HSP90 inhibitors may represent a novel therapeutic approach to the disease.
