Plasmacytoid predendritic cells initiate psoriasis through interferon-α production
Open accessAbstract
Psoriasis is one of the most common T cell–mediated autoimmune diseases in humans. Although a role for the innate immune system in driving the autoimmune T cell cascade has been proposed, its nature remains elusive. We show that plasmacytoid predendritic cells (PDCs), the natural interferon (IFN)-α–producing cells, infiltrate the skin of psoriatic patients and become activated to produce IFN-α early during disease formation. In a xenograft model of human psoriasis, we demonstrate that blocking IFN-α signaling or inhibiting the ability of PDCs to produce IFN-α prevented the T cell–dependent development of psoriasis. Furthermore, IFN-α reconstitution experiments demonstrated that PDC-derived IFN-α is essential to drive the development of psoriasis in vivo. These findings uncover a novel innate immune pathway for triggering a common human autoimmune disease and suggest that PDCs and PDC-derived IFN-α represent potential early targets for the treatment of psoriasis.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
