KRT6A Inhibits IL-1β-Mediated Pyroptosis of Keratinocytes via Blocking IL-17 Signaling
Abstract
Keratin 6A (KRT6A) is involved in the pathogenesis of various skin diseases. However, the reports on the roles of KRT6A in atopic dermatitis (AD) are limited. This study aimed to investigate the potentials of KRT6A in AD. mRNA levels were detected by RT-PCR. Cytokine release was determined by ELISA. Protein expression was determined using Western blot. Cell viability was determined by CCK-8. Cytotoxicity was detected by LDH assay. Cell death was determined by TUNEL. The pyroptosis of keratinocytes was detected using flow cytometry. We found that KRT6A was overexpressed in AD patients. Moreover, KRT6A was stimulated after exposed to proinflammatory cytokines. Overexpressed KRT6A suppressed inflammatory response, while KRT6A knockdown exerted the opposite effects. Overexpressed KRT6A suppressed inflammation-induced pyroptosis of keratinocytes. Additionally, KRT6A negatively regulated interleukin-17a (IL-17a) expression, blocking IL-17 signaling. IL-17a overexpression antagonized the effects of KRT6A and promoted pyroptosis of keratinocytes. In conclusion, KRT6A exerted protective functions in AD via regulating IL-17 signaling. This KRT6A/IL-17 may be a novel target for AD.
