Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by abnormal keratinocyte proliferation and inflammation. MiRNAs and serum exosomes participate in the pathogenesis of many diseases. The objective of this study is to explore the function of miR-6785-5p in psoriatic keratinocytes and its upstream and downstream mechanisms. For our study, we employed qRT-PCR and fluorescence in situ hybridization to evaluate miR-6785-5p in psoriatic keratinocytes and conducted a microRNA microarray for identifying differentially expressed miRNAs in patient serum exosomes. We then cocultured keratinocytes with these exosomes, using immunofluorescence staining and qRT-PCR to assess uptake and miR-6785-5p overexpression. We explored miR-6785-5p's role through transfection with specific mimics and inhibitors and confirmed MNK2 as its target using a luciferase assay. MNK2's function was further examined using siRNA technology. Lastly, we applied an imiquimod-induced psoriasis mouse model, also employing siRNA, to investigate MNK2's role in psoriasis. MiR-6785-5p demonstrates a notable overexpression in the keratinocytes of psoriasis patients as well as in their serum exosomes. These keratinocytes actively uptake the miR-6785-5p-enriched serum exosomes. Functionally, miR-6785-5p appears to alleviate psoriasis-like skin damage, observable both in vitro and in vivo, by downregulating MNK2 expression. Psoriasis keratinocytes uptake serum exosomes highly expressing miR-6785-5p. MiR-6785-5p inhibits the abnormal proliferation and inflammatory state of keratinocytes by reducing MNK2 expression and interfering with the MNK2/p-eIF4E axis.
