Abstract
Psoriasis is a TNF-α/IL-23/IL-17A-mediated inflammatory skin disease that causes a significant socioeconomic burden in afflicted patients. IL-17A-producing immune cells, including Th17 cells, are crucial effector cells in the development of psoriasis. IL-17A stimulates epidermal keratinocytes to produce CCL20, which eventually recruits CCR6 + Th17 cells into the lesional skin. Thus, the CCL20/CCR6 axis works as a driving force that prepares an IL-17A-rich cutaneous milieu. In this review, we summarize the current research topics on the CCL20/CCR6 axis and the therapeutic intervention of this axis for psoriasis.Entities:
