This Project Grant award of $390,913, provided by the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) under the Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.846), will support a mechanistic investigation of the role of the protein SERPINB3 in the pathogenesis of psoriasis.

The research, to be conducted by Arizona State University, aims to explore how the misprocessing of SERPINB3 may be the initiating factor in the development of psoriasis. The project will involve in-vitro studies to understand the trafficking of SERPINB3 from keratinocytes to mast cells, the role of the misprocessed form of SERPINB3 (Pso P27) in Th17-driven inflammation, and an evaluation of the mouse ortholog SERPINB3A in an imiquimod-induced psoriasis model. Additionally, the research will investigate whether SERPINB3 is a viable therapeutic target for psoriasis at the transcriptional, translational, and post-translational levels, using both human explant cultures and mouse models.
