Abstract
Interleukin (IL)-23, an IL-12 cytokine family member, is a hierarchically dominant regulatory cytokine in a cluster of immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs), including psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, and inflammatory bowel disease. We review IL-23 biology, IL-23 signaling in IMIDs, and the effect of IL-23 inhibition in treating these diseases. We propose studies to advance IL-23 biology and unravel differences in response to anti-IL-23 therapy. Experimental evidence generated from these investigations could establish a novel molecular ontology centered around IL-23-driven diseases, improve upon current approaches to treating IMIDs with IL-23 inhibition, and ultimately facilitate optimal identification of patients and, thereby, outcomes.

Abstract
Psoriasis is an immune-mediated chronic inflammatory skin disease that affects 2% to 3% of the world's population. It is widely assumed that immune cells and cytokines acting together play a crucial part in the pathophysiology of psoriasis by promoting the excessive proliferation of skin keratinocytes and inflammatory infiltration. Interleukins (ILs), as a critical component of cytokines, have been closely associated with the pathogenesis and progression of psoriasis. This review summarizes the current contribution of ILs to psoriasis and describes the role each IL performs in psoriasis. Furthermore, the paper presents the therapeutic effects and application prospects of biologics developed for ILs in clinical treatment and experiments. The study aims to further the research on ILs in the treatment of psoriasis.

Abstract
Plaque psoriasis is an autoinflammatory and autoimmune skin disease, affecting 1-3% of the population worldwide. Previously, high levels of IL-36 family cytokines were found in psoriatic skin lesions, thereby contributing to keratinocyte hyperproliferation and infiltration of immune cells such as neutrophils. While treatment with anti-IL36 receptor (IL36R) antibodies was recently approved for generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP), it remains unclear, if targeting the IL36R might also inhibit plaque psoriasis. Here we show that antibody-mediated inhibition of IL36R is sufficient to suppress imiquimod-induced psoriasis-like skin inflammation and represses the disease's development in a model that depends on IL-17A overexpression in the skin. Importantly, treatment with anti-IL36R antibodies inhibited skin inflammation and attenuated psoriasis-associated, systemic inflammation. This is possibly due to a widespread effect of IL36R inhibition, which not only suppresses pro-inflammatory gene expression in keratinocytes, but also the activation of other immune cells such as T-cells or dendritic cells. In conclusion, we propose that inhibition of the IL-36 signaling pathway might constitute an attractive, alternative approach for treating IL-17A-driven psoriasis and psoriasis-linked comorbidities.

Abstract
In the past, psoriasis was considered a skin disease caused only by keratinocyte disorders. However, the efficacy of immunosuppressive drugs and biologics used to treat psoriasis proves that psoriasis is an immune-mediated disease. Indeed, a variety of immune cells are involved in the pathogenesis of psoriasis, including dendritic cells, Th17 cells, and resident memory T cells. Furthermore, keratinocytes play a role in the development of psoriasis as immune cells by secreting antibacterial peptides, chemokines, tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin (IL)-36, and IL-23. These immune cells and skin cells interact and drive the aberrant differentiation and proliferation of keratinocytes. This crosstalk between keratinocytes and immune cells critical in the pathogenesis of psoriasis forms an inflammatory loop, resulting in the persistence or exacerbation of psoriasis plaques.

Abstract
Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 2 (PARP2) alongside PARP1 are responsible for the bulk of cellular PARP activity, and they were first described as DNA repair factors. However, research in past decades implicated PARPs in biological functions as diverse as the regulation of cellular energetics, lipid homeostasis, cell death, and inflammation. PARP activation was described in Th2-mediated inflammatory processes, but studies focused on the role of PARP1, while we have little information on PARP2 in inflammatory regulation. In this study, we assessed the role of PARP2 in a Th17-mediated inflammatory skin condition, psoriasis. We found that PARP2 mRNA expression is increased in human psoriatic lesions. Therefore, we studied the functional consequence of decreased PARP2 expression in murine and cellular human models of psoriasis. We observed that the deletion of PARP2 attenuated the imiquimod-induced psoriasis-like dermatitis in mice. Silencing of PARP2 in human keratinocytes prevented their hyperproliferation, maintained their terminal differentiation, and reduced their production of inflammatory mediators after treatment with psoriasis-mimicking cytokines IL17A and TNFα. Underlying these observations, we found that aromatase was induced in the epidermis of PARP2 knock-out mice and in PARP2-deficient human keratinocytes, and the resulting higher estradiol production suppressed NF-κB activation, and hence, inflammation in keratinocytes. Steroidogenic alterations have previously been described in psoriasis, and we extend these observations by showing that aromatase expression is reduced in psoriatic lesions. Collectively, our data identify PARP2 as a modulator of estrogen biosynthesis by epidermal keratinocytes that may be relevant in Th17 type inflammation. KEY MESSAGES : PARP2 mRNA expression is increased in lesional skin of psoriasis patients. PARP2 deletion in mice attenuated IMQ-induced psoriasis-like dermatitis. NF-κB activation is suppressed in PARP2-deficient human keratinocytes. Higher estradiol in PARP2-deficient keratinocytes conveys anti-inflammatory effect.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Psoriasis (PSO) and psoriatic arthritis (PSA) represent a large burden of global inflammatory disease, but sustained treatment response and early diagnosis remain challenging. Both conditions arise from complex immune cell dysregulation. Single-cell techniques, including single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), have revolutionized our understanding of pathogenesis by illuminating heterogeneous cell populations and their interactions. AREAS COVERED We discuss the transcriptional profiles and cellular interactions unique to PSO/PSA affecting T cells, myeloid cells, keratinocytes, innate lymphoid cells, and stromal cells. We also review advances, limitations, and future challenges associated with single-cell studies. EXPERT OPINION Following analyses of 22 single-cell studies, several themes emerged. A small subpopulation of cells can have a large impact on disease pathogenesis. Multiple cell types identified via scRNA-seq play supporting roles in PSO pathogenesis, contrary to the traditional paradigm focusing on IL-23/IL-17 signaling among dendritic cells and T cells. Immune cell states are dynamic, with psoriatic subpopulations aberrantly re-activating and differentiating into inflammatory phenotypes depending on surrounding signaling cues. Comparison of circulating immune cells with resident skin/joint cells has uncovered specific T cell clonotypes associated with the disease. Finally, machine learning models demonstrate great promise in identifying biomarkers to diagnose clinically ambiguous rashes and PSA at earlier stages.
