Abstract:

Background: Approximately 3 % of the world's population suffer from psoriasis. It is known that eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E (eIF4E) plays a crucial role in important cellular processes such as proliferation, apoptosis and differentiation. A previous study by our group showed overexpression of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E (eIF4E) in psoriatic skin lesions. Here we reported that inhibition of eIF4E by a novel eIf4E inhibitor ("compound no. 31") leads to a reduction of eIF4E and its interaction partner’s eIF4A and eIF4G in vitro.
