Sumario:Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin condition caused by a combination of hereditary and environmental factors. Its development is closely related to the adaptive immune response. T helper 17 cells are major IL-17-producing cells, a function that plays an important role in the pathogenesis of psoriasis. However, recent findings have demonstrated that innate immune cells also contribute to the development of psoriasis. Innate lymphoid cells, γδ T cells, natural killer T cells, and natural killer cells are activated in psoriasis, contributing to disease pathology through IL-17-dependent and -independent mechanisms. The present review provides an overview of recent findings, demonstrating a role for innate immunity in psoriasis.
