Rosacea is a chronic, relapsing inflammatory skin disease featured by abnormal activation of immune responses, vascular dysfunction and prominent permeability barrier alterations. Aspirin, as the first nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug (NSAID), is widely used for various inflammatory conditions due to its anti-inflammatory and anti-angiogenic properties. However, its effects on rosacea are unclear. In this study, we demonstrated that aspirin dramatically improved pathological phenotypes in LL37-induced rosacea-like mice. The RNA sequencing analysis revealed that aspirin alleviated rosacea-like skin dermatitis mainly via modulating immune responses. Mechanically, we showed that aspirin decreased the production of chemokines and cytokines associated with rosacea, and suppressed the Th1-and Th17-polarized immune responses in LL37-induced rosacea-like mice. Besides, aspirin administration decreased the microvessels density and the VEGF expression in rosacea-like skin. We further demonstrated that aspirin inhibited the activation of NF-KB signaling and the release of its downstream pro-inflammatory cytokines. Collectively we showed that aspirin exerts a curative effect on rosacea by attenuating skin inflammation and angiogenesis, suggesting a promising therapeutic candidate for the treatment of rosacea.
