- T cells and macrophages hardly infiltrated into the skin tissue in the control group (rtTA) not induced with psoriasis, and infiltrated into the skin tissue in the psoriasis-induced rtTA-Peli1 group (rtTA-Peli1 Vehicle). It was confirmed that the number of T cells and macrophages increased ( FIG. 14 ). In particular, in the psoriasis-induced rtTA-Peli1 group (rtTA-Peli1 Vehicle), the number of T cells infiltrated into the skin tissue was about 47 ( FIG. 15 ).
- the number of T cells infiltrated into the skin tissue was about 32, 14, and 7, respectively, in a dose-dependent manner. It was confirmed that the number of T cells was significantly reduced (FIG. 15).
- the number of K14 + keratinocytes was 59
- the number of keratin-producing cells was 197.
- the number of keratin-producing cells increased by about 3.3 times compared to the control group (FIG. 16).
- the number of keratinocytes was about 179, 150, and 98, respectively, and the number of keratinocytes decreased in a dose-dependent manner. In particular, it was confirmed that the number of keratin-producing cells was significantly reduced at a dose of 30 mg/kg (FIG. 16).
- the average thickness of the epithelial layer was 23.8 ⁇ m in the non-psoriasis control group (rtTA), and the average epithelial layer thickness was 104.5 ⁇ m in the psoriasis-induced rtTA-Peli1 group (rtTA-Peli1 Vehicle). It was confirmed that the rtTA-Peli1 group (rtTA-Peli1 Vehicle) increased the thickness of the epithelial layer by about 4.4 times compared to the control group ( FIGS. 19a and 19b ).
- the average epithelial layer thickness was about 97.9 ⁇ m, 86.3 ⁇ m and 73.3 ⁇ m, respectively, in the psoriasis-induced rtTA-Peli1 group. It was confirmed that the thickness of the epithelial layer was dose-dependently reduced compared to (rtTA-Peli1 Vehicle) ( FIGS. 19a and 19b ).
- Th17 cell-associated genes such as IL-17A and IL-22 and IL-1 ⁇ and IL- 24, qRT-PCR was performed to confirm changes in mRNA expression of innate immune cell-associated genes.
- the psoriasis-induced rtTA-Peli1 group (rtTA-Peli1 Vehicle) showed increased mRNA expression of Th17 cell-related genes such as L-17A and IL-22 compared to the control group (rtTA), whereas PD In the group administered with the -L1-hyFc21 fusion protein intravenously, it was confirmed that the mRNA expression of the Th17 cell-related gene was reduced ( FIG. 20 ).
- the mRNA expression of innate immune cell-related genes such as IL-1 ⁇ and IL-24 increased in the psoriasis-induced rtTA-Peli1 group (rtTA-Peli1 Vehicle) compared to the control group (rtTA).
- the mRNA expression of Th17 cell-related genes showed a tendency to decrease in the group administered intravenously with the PD-L1-hyFc21 fusion protein ( FIG. 20 ).
- the expression of IL-24 mRNA was significantly reduced in the group administered intravenously with 10 mg/kg of the PD-L1-hyFc21 fusion protein ( FIG. 20 ).
- the PD-L1-hyFc21 fusion protein inhibits the proliferation of CD4 T cells, which is an important factor in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases such as psoriasis, through subcutaneous administration or intravenous administration, and suppresses the expression of inflammatory cytokines accompanying the lesion. It has an inhibitory effect, so it was confirmed that it can be used as a therapeutic agent for immune diseases such as psoriasis.
