Abstract Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune disease that is predominantly mediated by T-lymphocytes and keratinocytes. Tacrolimus is T cell-targeted immunosuppression drug that has been widely used in topical therapy of psoriasis; however, the pharmacologic effect of tacrolimus on human keratinocytes has not been fully clarified. This study aimed to investigate the potential regulatory effect of tacrolimus on TNF-alpha/ IL-17A-costimulated human keratinocytes in the mimic psoriatic microenvironment. The cultured normal human keratinocytes (NHKs) were divided into the following groups: control, TNF-alpha/IL-17A, tacrolimus, and TNF-alpha/IL-17A + tacrolimus. Cultured cells and supernatant were collected after 24 h, and then real-time quantitative PCR, western blot, and ELISA analysis were performed. Foreskin tissues were treated by using TNF-alpha, IL-17A, and tacrolimus 0.03% ointment and then cultured for 24 h, and immunohistochemistry was performed. NHKs expressed significant IL-36 gamma, CCL-20, IL-1 beta, S100-A9, and CXCL-1 mRNA after TNF-alpha/IL-17A treatment. Tacrolimus significantly inhibited TNF-alpha/IL-17A-induced IL-36 gamma, CCL-20, IL-1 beta, and S100-A9 expression at gene level and IL-36 gamma and CCL-20 expression at protein level. We further discovered TNF-alpha/IL-17A induced significant I kappa B zeta mRNA and protein expression in NHKs, which could be inhibited by tacrolimus. Tacrolimus can inhibit pro-inflammatory synergistic action of TNF-alpha/IL-17A on human keratinocytes by regulating I kappa B zeta expression.
