Objective To investigate the auxoaction and mechanism of CDllc+DCs on psoriasis. Methods CDllc+ DCs in the psoriasis-like lesions were confirmed by immunofluorescence double staining experiments. The CD1lc+ DCs were subcutaneously injected into the neck skin of transgenic mice without disease. The clinical features were observed and assessed with PASI score every day. The ear and back skin were checked by HE stained. At the same time, the T lymphocyte and DCs of bone marrow, spleen, submandibular lymph nodes and blood were analyzed by flow cytometry, and the T lymphocyte in the skin lesions were analyzed by immunofluorescence. The heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kindey were HE stained. Results In the psoriasis-like lesions, about 90% CDllc+ cells expressed CDllc. HE test showed that the thickness of the skin layer was significant different between the experimental group (ear: 29±4 μm; back: 25±3 μm) and the control group(ear: 11±2 μm; back: 9±1 μm) (P<0.01). CD3 + CD4+ T lymphocyte cells in the blood of the experimental mice (17.87%) were decreased significantly (P<0.01) compared with the control group mice (31.77%). The numbers of Thl and Th17 cells from bone marrow, spleen, submaxillary lymph nodes and blood, as the same as CD1lc+DCs from bone marrow and submaxillary lymph nodes, were decreased in the experimental mice compared with the control group mice (P<0.01). The number of CD4﹢T cells, CD8+T cells, IL-17a+cells and IFN-γ+cells in the skin lesions from the experimental group all were higher than that from the control group (P<0.01). And the vessels in the lesions of the experimental group were higher than that in the control group (P<0.01). Conclusions CD1 lc+CD1 lc+DCs may play an important role in the occurrence and development of psoriasis by increasing the T lymphocyte and the blood vessel in the skins of K14-VEGF transgenic mice.

BACKGROUNDDaxx has been identified as a nuclear protein that involves in apoptosis and transcriptional repression. Daxx co-localizes with the promyelocytic leukemia (PML) protein and regulates transcription. Human Daxx (hDaxx) is a protein that functions as a transcriptional regulation through its interaction with some DNA-associated proteins. The aim of this study was to explore the transcriptional regulatory effect of hDaxx interacting with adenovirus (Ad) 12 E1B (Ad12E1B) 55-kDa oncoprotein.
METHODSThe co-localization of hDaxx-Ad12E1B or hDaxx-PML protein in the nucleus was observed under a confocal microscope. Interaction of hDaxx and Ad12E1B was analyzed by yeast two-hybrid assay. Direct binding of hDaxx and Ad12E1B was analyzed using coimmunoprecipitation and Western blot in vivo and in vitro. The activity of a luciferase reporter gene, which was regulated by an hDaxx modulated thymidine kinase (TK) promoter, was detected in an automat luminometer.
RESULTSAd12E1B, which co-localized with hDaxx in the nuclei of G401-CC3 cells, disrupted the co-localization of hDaxx and PML in the PML oncogenic domains (PODs). hDaxx bound directly to Ad12E1B in vivo and in vitro. hDaxx interacted with Ad12E1B along its full length. Ad12E1B enhanced transcriptional repression activity of hDaxx.
CONCLUSIONAd12E1B disrupts the co-localization of hDaxx with PML in PODs and enhances transcriptional repression activity of hDaxx.
