Application of polypeptide in preparation of medicine for treating psoriasis

The invention discloses an application of a polypeptide Apelin-13 in a medicine for treating psoriasis, in particular to psoriasis-like skin lesion. In an imiquimod (IMQ) cream induced mouse psoriasis model, intraperitoneal injection of Apelin-13 can significantly reduce scale, erythema and skin thickness, and can inhibit proliferation of epithelial spine cells. HE staining and immunohistochemical staining are carried out on the skin tissue of an experimental mouse, and the result shows that Apelin-13 can reduce the expression of the psoriasis marker protein K17, the thickness of the surface layer of the back side skin of the experimental mouse and the downward extension of a spinous layer. Experimental mouse serum ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) detection results show that the Apelin-13 can be used for down-regulating IL-17A (interleukin-17A) which is highly expressed in psoriasis. The polypeptide Apelin-13 can be used as a medicine for treating psoriasis, especially a medicine for treating psoriasis-like skin lesion.

Application of vitamin K3 in preparation of medicine for treating psoriasis

The invention belongs to the technical field of biological medicines, and discloses application of vitamin K3 in preparation of a medicine for treating psoriasis. The invention finds that the compound vitamin K3 can obviously inhibit the activation of the STING downstream immune pathway and has an inhibition effect on the activation of the STING pathway. A mouse psoriasis model is formulated according to the absorption and metabolism characteristics of the inhibitor VK3, and it is proved that the VK3 can significantly inhibit the process of psoriasis and up-regulation of an STING pathway at an affected part in a transdermal drug delivery mode. The STING pathway does not belong to a main pathway affecting the course of disease in most non-immunodeficient inflammatory diseases, so that a better treatment effect may be generated by using the STING pathway in combination with a direct treatment drug (such as an IL-17A antibody for psoriasis). The vitamin K3 is simple in chemical structure, mature in production process and low in preparation cost, has more remarkable price advantage compared with biological agents and small-molecule targeting drugs, and has high popularization value and application prospects.
