Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder characterized by hyperproliferation of keratinocytes and persistent inflammation. Although persistent activation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) is implicated in its pathogenesis, the mechanisms underlying the sustained STAT3 activation remain poorly understood. Here, we identify sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 3 (S1PR3) as a critical regulator of STAT3 activation and psoriasis pathogenesis, orchestrating a self-amplifying circuit that sustains keratinocyte hyperproliferation and chronic inflammation. S1PR3 expression is markedly elevated in psoriatic lesions and correlates with disease severity. Using genetic and pharmacological approaches, we reveal a novel S1PR3-Src-STAT3 signaling axis that drives both early and prolonged STAT3 activation in keratinocytes. Mechanistically, S1PR3 operates through Gαi/PKA-mediated Src activation, enhancing STAT3 phosphorylation and subsequent transcriptional activity. Importantly, we reveal a previously unrecognized positive feedback loop wherein activated STAT3 directly upregulates S1PR3 expression, perpetuating inflammation and hyperproliferation. Genetic deletion of S1pr3 in mice or pharmacological inhibition of S1PR3 significantly attenuates psoriasis-like skin inflammation, decreasing epidermal hyperplasia, dermal angiogenesis, and inflammatory mediator production. These findings provide new insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying psoriasis and identify S1PR3 as a promising therapeutic target. Our study suggests that disrupting the S1PR3-STAT3 feedback loop may offer a novel strategy for treating psoriasis and potentially other chronic inflammatory diseases driven by persistent STAT3 activation.

Set of software modules for performing common ChIP-seq data analysis tasks across the whole genome, including positional correlation analysis, peak detection, and genome partitioning into signal-rich and signal-poor regions. The tools are designed to be simple, fast and highly modular. Each program carries out a well defined data processing procedure that can potentially fit into a pipeline framework. ChIP-Seq is also freely available on a Web interface.
View all literature mentionsNon-profit plasmid repository dedicated to helping scientists around the world share high-quality plasmids. Facilitates archiving and distributing DNA-based research reagents and associated data to scientists worldwide. Repository contains over 65,000 plasmids, including special collections on CRISPR, fluorescent proteins, and ready-to-use viral preparations. There is no cost for scientists to deposit plasmids, which saves time and money associated with shipping plasmids themselves. All plasmids are fully sequenced for validation and sequencing data is openly available. We handle the appropriate Material Transfer Agreements (MTA) with institutions, facilitating open exchange and offering intellectual property and liability protection for depositing scientists. Furthermore, we curate free educational resources for the scientific community including a blog, eBooks, video protocols, and detailed molecular biology resources.

View all literature mentionsCentral repository for collection of functional information on proteins, with accurate and consistent annotation. In addition to capturing core data mandatory for each UniProtKB entry (mainly, the amino acid sequence, protein name or description, taxonomic data and citation information), as much annotation information as possible is added. This includes widely accepted biological ontologies, classifications and cross-references, and experimental and computational data. The UniProt Knowledgebase consists of two sections, UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot and UniProtKB/TrEMBL. UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot (reviewed) is a high quality manually annotated and non-redundant protein sequence database which brings together experimental results, computed features, and scientific conclusions. UniProtKB/TrEMBL (unreviewed) contains protein sequences associated with computationally generated annotation and large-scale functional characterization that await full manual annotation. Users may browse by taxonomy, keyword, gene ontology, enzyme class or pathway.
