Photo(chemo)therapy is widely used to treat psoriasis, the pathogenesis of which might be caused by an imbalance of Th17 cells/regulatory T cells (Treg). In the present study, we evaluated the effects of photo(chemo)therapy on the Th17/Treg balance and Treg function. Peripheral blood was obtained from psoriasis patients treated with bath-psoralen ultraviolet A (UVA, n = 50) or narrowband ultraviolet B (UVB, n = 18), and age-matched healthy volunteers (n = 20). CD3+CD4+IL-17A+ or CD4+CD25+Foxp3+cells were analyzed to estimate Th17 or Treg number by fluorescence–activated cell sorting. Moreover, CD4+ CD25− T cells from patients treated with PUVA(n = 14) were incubated in CFSE and activated with or without CD4+ CD25+T cells, and the suppressive function of CD4+ CD25+T cells were analyzed. Photo(chemo)therapy significantly reduced Th17 levels from 5.66±3.15% to 2.96±2.89% in patients with increased Th17 (Th17/CD4>3.01% [mean+SD of controls]). In contrast, photo(chemo)therapy significantly increased Treg levels from 2.77±0.75 to 3.40±1.88% in patients with less than 4.07% Treg level, defined as the mean of controls. Furthermore, while Treg suppressed the CD4+CD25− T cell proliferation to a greater extent in controls (Treg Functional Ratio 94.4±4.28%) than in patients (70.3±25.1%), PUVA significantly increased Treg Functional Ratio to 88.1±6.47%. Th17 levels in severe patients (>30 PASI) were significantly higher as compared to controls. Th17 levels that were left after treatment in the patients not achieving PASI 50 (3.78±4.18%) were significantly higher than those in the patients achieving PASI 75 (1.83±1.87%). Treg levels in patients achieving PASI 90 (4.89±1.70%) were significantly higher than those in the patients not achieving PASI 90 (3.90±1.66%). Treg levels prior to treatment with Th17 high decreased group (5.16±2.20%) was significantly higher than that with Th17 high increased group (3.33±1.39%). These findings indicate that Treg is dysfunctional in psoriasis patients, and photochemotherapy restores those dysfunctional Treg. Photo(chemo)therapy resolved the Th17/Treg imbalance in patients with psoriasis.
