| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study aimed to investigate the roles of epigenetic changes of keratinocytes in the formation of inflammatory skin lesion of psoriasis. A reverse chemical genomics-approach was adopted. Topical imiquimod-induced skin inflammation was used as a mouse model of psoriasis, and various chemical inhibitors of chromatin modifying enzymes are applied to investigate their effect on the formation of the skin lesion. As a result we newly identified a histone demethylase inhibitor that promote the formation of the lesion, and a kinase inhibitor that suppress the skin lesion.
