First-in-class topical therapeutic omilancor ameliorates disease severity and inflammation through activation of LANCL2 pathway in psoriasis

Abstract Psoriasis (PsO) is a complex immune-mediated disease that afflicts 100 million people. Omilancor is a locally-acting, small molecule that selectively activates the Lanthionine Synthetase C-like 2 (LANCL2) pathway, resulting in immunoregulatory effects at the intersection of immunity and met...

Topical omilancor treatment in an imiquimod-induced mouse model of PsO ameliorates disease severity, epidermal hyperplasia and acanthosis. Further, pharmacological activation of LANCL2 results in significant downregulation of proinflammatory markers including local reduction of IL17, and infiltration of proinflammatory cell subsets. These therapeutic effects were further validated in an IL-23 PsO model. This model reported increased preservation of homeostatic skin structure, accompanied by a decreased infiltration of proinflammatory T cell subsets. In CD4+ T cells and Th17 cells, the LANCL2 pathway regulates proinflammatory cytokine production, proliferation and glucose metabolism. Metabolically, the loss of Lancl2 resulted in increased glycolytic rates, lactate production and upregulated enzymatic activity of hexokinase and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH). Inhibition of LDH activity abrogated the increased proliferation rate in Lancl2−/− CD4+ T cells. Additionally, topical omilancor treatment decreased the metabolic upregulation in keratinocytes, keratinocyte hyperproliferation and expression of inflammatory markers.
