    8-Methoxypsoralen plus UVA (PUVA) photochemotherapy is an effective treatment for many skin diseases including psoriasis. However, its exact mechanism of therapeutic action is incompletely understood. Previously, in K5.hTGF beta 1 transgenic psoriatic mice, we found that PUVA induces Foxp3+ CD25+ CD4+ regulatory T cells in both lymph node and spleen. Now, in the same model, we investigated whether cutaneous lymphocyte-associated antigen (CLA) mediates PUVAs effect on homing of CD25+ CD4+ T cells to the lymph nodes of K5.hTGF beta 1 transgenic mice. We found that a low dose of topical PUVA maximally increased the proportion of CLA + CD25+ CD4 + T cells in the lymph nodes by up to 8-fold. We also observed an increased number of Foxp3+ CD25+ T cells in the skin of the mice after PUVA treatment. Together, these findings suggest that PUVA affects the homing of regulatory T cells
