There is currently no reliable method to predict skin pigmentation outcomes after inflammation. In this study, we analyzed the 5 GEO datasets to screen for inflammatory<jats:bold>-<\/jats:bold>related genes involved in melanogenesis, and used candidate cytokines to establish different machine learning (LASSO regression, logistic regression and Random Forest) models to predict the pigmentation outcomes of post-inflammatory skin. Further, to further validate those models, we evaluated the role of these candidate cytokines in pigment cells. We found that IL-37, CXCL13, CXCL1, CXCL2 and IL-19 showed high predictive value in predictive models. All models accurately classified skin samples with different melanogenesis-related gene scores in the training and testing sets (AUC&amp;gt;0.7). Meanwhile, we mainly evaluated the effects of IL-37 in pigment cells, and found that it increased the melanin content and expression of melanogenesis-related genes (MITF, TYR, TYRP1 and DCT), also enhanced tyrosinase activity. In addition, CXCL13, CXCL1, CXCL2 and IL-19 could down-regulate the expression of several melanogenesis-related genes. In conclusion, evaluation models basing on machine learning may be valuable in predicting outcomes of post-inflammatory pigmentation abnormalities. IL-37, CXCL1, CXCL2, CXCL13 and IL-19 are involved in regulating post-inflammatory pigmentation abnormalities.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fimmu.2022.991594","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,27]],"date-time":"2022-10-27T04:38:05Z","timestamp":1666845485000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Establishment
