Epidermal anti-inflammatory cytokine levels in artificial psoriatic human and imiquimod-induced psoriasis rat skin specimens: (A) IL-10 immunolabeling of the epidermis at day 7 post-treatment in the artificial psoriatic (i–v) and rat psoriatic (vi–x) skins (magnification, × 400). (i, vi) non-treatment; (ii, vii) extraction; (iii, viii) betamethasone; (iv, ix), calcitriol (D3); and (v, x), normal skin. (xi, xii) Bar graph comparing the expression levels of epidermal IL-10 among the various groups in the artificial psoriatic (xi) and rat psoriatic (xii) skin specimens. (B) TGF-β immunolabeling of the epidermis at day 7 post-treatment in the artificial psoriatic (i–v) and rat psoriatic (vi–x) skins (magnification, × 400). (i, vi) non-treatment; (ii, vii) extraction; (iii, viii) betamethasone; (iv, ix), calcitriol (D3); and (v, x) normal skin. (xi, xii) Bar graph comparing the expression levels of epidermal TGF-β among the various groups in the artificial psoriatic (xi) and rat psoriatic (xii) skins.
