Abstract
Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a complex inflammatory disease that challenges diagnosis and complicates the rational selection of effective therapies. Although T cells are considered active effectors in psoriasis and PsA, the role of CD8+ T cells in pathogenesis is not well understood. We selected the humanized mouse model NSG-SGM3 transgenic strain to examine psoriasis and PsA endotypes. Injection of PBMCs and sera from patients with psoriasis and PsA generated parallel skin and joint phenotypes in the recipient mouse. The transfer of human circulating memory T cells was followed by migration and accumulation in the skin and synovia of these immunodeficient mice. Unexpectedly, immunoglobulins were required for recapitulation of the clinical phenotype of psoriasiform lesions and PsA domains (dactylitis, enthesitis, bone erosion). Human CD8+ T cells expressing T-bet, IL-32 and CXCL14 were detected by spatial transcriptomics in murine synovia and by immunofluorescence in the human PsA synovia. Importantly, depletion of human CD8+ T cells prevented skin and synovial inflammation in mice humanized with PsA peripheral blood cells. The humanized model of psoriasis and PsA represents a valid platform for accelerating the understanding of disease pathogenesis, improving the design of personalized therapies, and revealing psoriatic disease targets.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.
Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
