Abstract
Psoriasis and atopic dermatitis fall within the category of cutaneous immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs). The prevalence of IMIDs is increasing in industrialized societies, influenced by both environmental changes and a genetic predisposition. However, the exact immune factors driving these chronic, progressive diseases are not fully understood. By using multi-omics techniques in cutaneous IMIDs, it is expected to advance the understanding of skin biology, uncover the underlying mechanisms of skin conditions, and potentially devise precise and personalized approaches to diagnosis and treatment. We provide a narrative review of the current knowledge in genomics, epigenomics, and proteomics of atopic dermatitis and psoriasis. A literature search was performed for articles published until 30 November 2023. Although there is still much to uncover, recent evidence has already provided valuable insights, such as proteomic profiles that permit differentiating psoriasis from mycosis fungoides and β-defensin 2 correlation to PASI and its drop due to secukinumab first injection, among others.

Abstract
The FDA Modernization Act 2.0 has brought nonclinical drug evaluation into a new era. In vitro models are widely used and play an important role in modern drug development and evaluation, including early candidate drug screening and preclinical drug efficacy and toxicity assessment. Driven by regulatory steering and facilitated by well-defined physiology, novel in vitro skin models are emerging rapidly, becoming the most advanced area in alternative testing research. The revolutionary technologies bring us many in vitro skin models, either laboratory-developed or commercially available, which were all built to emulate the structure of the natural skin to recapitulate the skin's physiological function and particular skin pathology. During the model development, how to achieve balance among complexity, accessibility, capability, and cost-effectiveness remains the core challenge for researchers. This review attempts to introduce the existing in vitro skin models, align them on different dimensions, such as structural complexity, functional maturity, and screening throughput, and provide an update on their current application in various scenarios within the scope of chemical testing and drug development, including testing in genotoxicity, phototoxicity, skin sensitization, corrosion/irritation. Overall, the review will summarize a general strategy for in vitro skin model to enhance future model invention, application, and translation in drug development and evaluation.

Abstract
Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a chronic inflammatory disease that is characterized by the infiltration of T cells into the oral mucosa, causing the apoptosis of basal keratinocytes. OLP is a multifactorial disease of unknown etiology and is not solely caused by the malfunction of a single key gene but rather by various intracellular and extracellular factors. Non-coding RNAs play a critical role in immunological homeostasis and inflammatory response and are found in all cell types and bodily fluids, and their expression is closely regulated to preserve normal physiologies. The dysregulation of non-coding RNAs may be highly implicated in the onset and progression of diverse inflammatory disorders, including OLP. This narrative review summarizes the role of non-coding RNAs in molecular and cellular changes in the oral epithelium during OLP pathogenesis.

Abstract
Gasdermin D (GSDMD)-mediated pyroptosis has a significant pro-inflammation characteristic due to dramatic secretion of pro-inflammatory substances. However, its role remains unclear in psoriasis as one chronic inflammatory skin disorder with high prevalence. We found that N-terminal GSDMD (N-GSDMD) was aberrantly expressed in epidermis of skin lesion in psoriasis patients and imiquimod-induced psoriasis-like dermatitis (IIPLD) mice. In epidermis of IIPLD mice and M5 (simulating psoriatic inflammatory challenge)-treated keratinocytes cultured in vitro, cleavage products of caspase-1, GSDMD and IL-1β were increased. M5-stimulated keratinocyte presented typical pyroptosis morphology accompanied with PI-staining. Gsdmd-/- keratinocytes could not present pyroptosis morphology while stimulated with M5. Electroporation of recombinant N-GSDMD could make the pyroptosis morphology reappear. In Gsdmd-/- mice or keratinocyte-specific Gsdmd conditional knockout mice, we observed the alleviation of psoriatic inflammation and epidermal aberrant expression of Ki-67 and differentiation markers (loricrin and keratin 5) after imiquimod stimulation. Transplanting skin tissue from control mice to Gsdmd-/- mice can evoke the response to imiquimod stimulation in the background of Gsdmd-/- mice (not limited in transplanting area). In M5-stimulated keratinocytes, disulfiram or GSDMD siRNA transfection can inhibit pyroptosis and eliminate disproportionate increases of Ki-67 and PI. We further validated that topically application of disulfiram (pyroptosis inhibitor) also alleviated IIPLD in mice. These findings indicate a novel mechanism that GSDMD-mediated keratinocyte pyroptosis facilitates hyperproliferation and aberrant differentiation induced by immune microenvironment in psoriatic skin inflammation, which contributes to pathogenesis of psoriasis. Our study provides an innovative insight that targeting pyroptosis can be considered as a therapeutic strategy against psoriasis.

Abstract
Psoriasis is a disease involving the innate and adaptative components of the immune system, and it is triggered by environmental factors in genetically susceptible individuals. However, its physiopathology is not fully understood yet. Recent technological advances, especially in genome and epigenome-wide studies, have provided a better understanding of the genetic and epigenetic mechanisms to determine the physiopathology of psoriasis and facilitate the development of new drugs. This review intends to summarize the current evidence on genetic and epigenetic mechanisms of psoriasis.
