2. Figure 1
Reconstituted epidermal organotypic culture systems (OCSs). The OCSs, reconstituted with keratinocytes and fibroblasts derived from a human donor with psoriasis (far right), displayed high expression of tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) and IFN-γ cytokines in epidermis (pink areas, arrows), similar to psoriasis skin (arrows). IL-6 remains high in both normal and psoriasis OCSs.

The effect of IL-6 in humans hair follicle culture. (a) Addition of recombinant human IL-6 into human hair follicle cultures significantly inhibits the hair shaft elongation rate as compared with control. (b–f) The number of proliferating cells in the matrix of cultured human hair follicles, as measured by immunostaining for Ki-67 marker, significantly decreased in the presence of IL-6 (b). Also compare Ki-67 expression in (d) (IL-6 treated) versus (c) (control).
