Article Abstract
The identification of a new series of RORc inverse agonists is described. Comprehensive structure-activity relationship studies of this reversed sulfonamide series identified potent RORc inverse agonists in biochemical and cellular assays which were also selective against a panel of nuclear receptors. Our work has contributed a compound that may serve as a useful in vitro tool to delineate the complex biological pathways involved in signalling through RORc. An X-ray co-crystal structure of an analogue with RORc has also provided useful insights into the binding interactions of the new series.

Mast cells express IL17A, IL17F and RORC in lesional psoriatic skin, are activated before therapy and persist in high numbers in a resting state with IL-17A positivity after treatment.

Background: The proinflammatory cytokine IL-17 is known to play an important role in psoriasis pathogenesis, but little is known about its regulation in psoriasis or after treatment.
Objective: Aiming to investigate the role of IL-17 regulation in the resolution of psoriasis, we analyzed biopsy samples from patients with plaque psoriasis, including non-lesional and lesional skin at baseline and after anti-IL-17 and -IL-23 antibody, topical dithranol or UVB treatment as well as skin from healthy donors.
Methods: Skin biopsy samples were analyzed using immunostaining, RNA sequencing and in situ mRNA detection.

Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are long-lived, tissue-resident cell analogs to T helper subsets that lack antigen-specific receptors. Understanding the roles of specific ILCs in chronic inflammation and fibrosis has been limited by inadequate tools for selective targeting. Here, we used Il17rb-CreERT2-eGFP and Rorc-Cre strains to selectively delete RORα in ILC2s and ILC3/Th17 cells, respectively.

Little is known about IL-17 expression in psoriasis and the actual cellular source of IL-17 remains incompletely defined. We show that high numbers of IL-17 + mast cells persisted in resolved lesions after treatment (anti-IL-17A, anti-IL-23, UVB or topical dithranol) and correlated inversely with the time span in remission. IL-17 + mast cells were found in T cell-rich areas and often close to resident memory T cells (T) in active psoriasis and resolved lesional skin.

Background: Circadian rhythm is crucial to the function of the immune system. Disorders of the circadian rhythm can contribute to inflammatory diseases such as Ulcerative colitis (UC). This Mendelian Randomization (MR) analysis applies genetic tools to represent the aggregated statistical results of exposure to circadian rhythm disorders and UC and its comorbidities, allowing for causal inferences.

A higher Th17-immune response characterises obesity and obesity-related asthma phenotype. Nevertheless, obesity-related asthma has a more significant Th17-immune response than obesity alone. Retinoid-related orphan receptor C (RORC) is the essential transcription factor for Th17 polarisation.
