IL-33 is constitutively expressed in the skin. Psoriasis is a common skin inflammatory disease. The roles of IL-33 in psoriasis have not been well-elucidated. We identified that keratinocytes (KCs) are the predominant cells expressing IL-33 and its receptor, suppression of tumorigenicity 2, in the skin. KCs actively released IL-33 on psoriasis inflammatory stimuli and induced psoriasis-related cytokine, chemokine, and inflammatory molecules genes transcription in KCs in an autocrine manner. IL-33-specific deficiency in KCs ameliorated imiquimod-induced psoriatic dermatitis. In addition, intradermal injection of recombinant IL-33 alone induced psoriasis-like dermatitis, which is attributed to the transcriptional upregulation of genes enriched in IL-17, TNF, and chemokine signaling pathway in KCs on recombinant IL-33 stimulation. Our data demonstrate that the autocrine circuit of IL-33 in KCs promotes the progression of psoriatic skin inflammation, and IL-33 is a potential therapeutic target for psoriasis.
