BackgroundAccumulating evidence suggests that regulated cell death, such as pyroptosis, apoptosis, and necroptosis, is deeply involved in the pathogenesis of psoriasis. As a newly recognized form of systematic cell death, PANoptosis is involved in a variety of inflammatory disorders through amplifying inflammatory and immune cascades, but its role in psoriasis remains elusive.ObjectivesTo reveal the role of PANoptosis in psoriasis for a potential therapeutic strategy.MethodsMultitranscriptomic analysis and experimental validation were used to identify PANoptosis signaling in psoriasis. RNA-seq and scRNA-seq analyses were performed to establish a PANoptosis-mediated immune response in psoriasis, which revealed hub genes through WGCNA and predicted disulfiram as a potential drug. The effect and mechanism of disulfiram were verified in imiquimod (IMQ)-induced psoriasis.ResultsHere, we found a highlighted PANoptosis signature in psoriasis patients through multitranscriptomic analysis and experimental validation. Based on this, two distinct PANoptosis patterns (non/high) were identified, which were the options for clinical classification. The high-PANoptosis-related group had a higher response rate to immune cell infiltration (such as M1 macrophages and keratinocytes). Subsequently, WGCNA showed the hub genes (e.g., S100A12, CYCS, NOD2, STAT1, HSPA4, AIM2, MAPK7), which were significantly associated with clinical phenotype, PANoptosis signature, and identified immune response in psoriasis. Finally, we explored disulfiram (DSF) as a candidate drug for psoriasis through network pharmacology, which ameliorated IMQ-mediated psoriatic symptoms through antipyroptosis-mediated inflammation and enhanced apoptotic progression. By analyzing the specific ligand-receptor interaction pairs within and between cell lineages, we speculated that DSF might exert its effects by targeting keratinocytes directly or targeting M1 macrophages to downregulate the proliferation of keratinocytes.ConclusionsPANoptosis with its mediated immune cell infiltration provides a roadmap for research on the pathogenesis and therapeutic strategies of psoriasis.
