Abstract:

Clinical investigations prove that blue light irradiation reduces the severity of psoriasis vulgaris. Nevertheless, the mechanisms involved in the management of this condition remain poorly defined. Despite the encouraging results of the clinical studies, no clear guidelines are specified in the literature for the irradiation scheme regime of blue light-based therapy for psoriasis. We investigated the underlying mechanism of blue light irradiation of psoriatic skin, and tested the hypothesis that regulation of proliferation is a key process. We implemented a mechanistic model of cellular epidermal dynamics to analyze whether a temporary decrease of keratinocytes hyper-proliferation can explain the outcome of phototherapy with blue light. Our results suggest that the main effect of blue light on keratinocytes impacts the proliferative cells. They show that the decrease in the keratinocytes proliferative capacity is sufficient to induce a transient decrease in the severity of psoriasis. To study the impact of the therapeutic regime on the efficacy of psoriasis treatment, we performed simulations for different combinations of the treatment parameters, i.e., length of treatment, fluence (also referred to as dose), and intensity. These simulations indicate that high efficacy is achieved by regimes with long duration and high fluence levels, regardless of the chosen intensity. Our modeling approach constitutes a framework for testing diverse hypotheses on the underlying mechanism of blue light-based phototherapy, and for designing effective strategies for the treatment of psoriasis.

Curator's comment:
(added: 24 Apr 2018, 11:51:49, updated: 24 Apr 2018, 11:51:49)
Treatment involved blue-light therapy every day for the first 28 days. Blue-light therapy was then simulated three times a week up until 84 days. The reproduced figure 5A was more similar to the publication figure if the blue light exposure time was simulated for an entire day (t = 1 day) if there was treatment on that day instead of simulating for the actual time of 30 minutes a day (t = 0.02083 days). The top row illustrates the simulation results from the curated model in an attempt to reproduce figure 5A and 5B from the publication with blue light therapy exposure matching that of the treatment description (every day for t <= 28, three times a week for 28 < t < 84). However simulation results were a closer match to the publication figures (bottom row) when exposure to blue light therapy remained unchanged for the entire 84 days (i.e. constant exposure). One aspect where the encoded model differs from the publication equations is that the degradation terms for growth arrested, spinous, transit amplifying and stem cells have been multiplied by an epidermal apoptosis index (table 1) for healthy (Al_h) and psoriatic (Al_d) conditions in the encoded model. The original model was encoded in MATLAB and converted into SBML using MOCCASIN. The simulations were performed in COPASI 4.22 (Build 170) and the figures were generated in MATLAB R2014b.
