چکیده
Objective(s): Psoriasis is a chronic skin disease that usually manifests as white and silver spots on the skin. Because of its anti-inflammatory properties, we investigated the effects of ivermectin (IVM) on imiquimod (IMQ)-induced psoriasis in rats.Materials and Methods: Fifteen rats were assigned to ۳ different groups (n=۵ per group): the control group received normal water and food; the psoriasis group, in which psoriasis was induced by topical application of IMQ (۱ mg per rat), and treatment group where rats were treated daily with topical IVM-gel (۱%) from day ۳ to ۷. The Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI) Score for the entire treatment period was used to assess erythema, silver scale, and skin thickness on the dorsal region of rats, and the spleen-to-body weight index on day ۷ was examined. Moreover, histological assessment of skin tissues was performed using fluorescence immunostaining and hematoxylin-eosin (H&E) staining. Results: The severity of lesions in the ivermectin group was reduced compared to the IMQ group, with a significant decrease in the average PASI scores. The results of fluorescence immunostaining showed that topical administration of IVM-gel reduced inflammation by decreasing Toll-like receptor ۴ (TLR۴) levels and p۶۵ nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB). Furthermore, findings from H&E staining revealed that IVM-gel decreased dermal fibrosis, epidermal thickness, and infiltration of inflammatory cells caused by IMQ. Conclusion: Based on the obtained results, it can be concluded that IVM-gel can effectively reduce psoriasis lesions due to its therapeutic properties, such as anti-inflammatory effects via targeting TLR۴/p۶۵ NF-κB.کلیدواژه ها
