Effect of Punica granatum peel polysaccharides (PPPs) on the mRNA expressions of inflammatory cytokines, aquaporin-3 (AQP3), and filaggrin (FLG) in imiquimod (IMQ)-elicited psoriasis. Mice were treated with dexamethasone (DXA) and PPPs and topically administered with IMQ. The mRNA expressions of TNF-α (A), IL-6 (B), IL-1β (C), AQP3 (D), and FLG (E) in the skin were measured by RT-PCR. Data are shown as the mean ± SD (n = 3). # p < 0.05, ## p < 0.01 compared with the control group; *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 compared with the vehicle group. PPPs-L, low-dose PPPs; PPPs -H, high-dose PPPs.
