Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:16898. [PMID: 38069218 PMCID: PMC10707279 DOI: 10.3390/ijms242316898] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2023] [Revised: 11/24/2023] [Accepted: 11/26/2023] [Indexed: 12/18/2023] Open
Abstract
Psoriasis is an immune-mediated, chronic disorder that significantly alters patients' quality of life and predisposes them to a higher risk of comorbidities, including liver fibrosis. Various non-invasive tests (NITs) have been validated to assess liver fibrosis severity, while blood-count-derived inflammatory markers have been proven to be reliable in reflecting inflammatory status in psoriatic disease. The fibrosis-4 (FIB-4) index became part of the newest guideline for monitoring psoriasis patients undergoing systemic treatment. Patients with psoriasis vulgaris and fulfilling inclusion criteria were enrolled in this study, aiming to assess for the first time in the literature whether such inflammatory markers are useful in predicting liver fibrosis. Based on internationally validated FIB-4 index values, patients were divided into two study groups: a low risk of significant fibrosis (LR-SF) and a high risk of significant fibrosis (HR-SF). Patients from HR-SF were significantly older and had higher values of the monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR) (p < 0.001), which further significantly correlated with fibrosis severity (p < 0.001). Platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), systemic immune inflammation index (SII), platelet-to-white blood cell ratio (PWR), and aggregate index of systemic inflammations (AISI) significantly correlated negatively with liver fibrosis (p < 0.001). PWR proved to be the most reliable inflammatory predictor of fibrosis severity (AUC = 0.657). MLR, PWR, and AISI were independent inflammatory markers in multivariate analysis (p < 0.001), while the AST to platelet ratio index (APRI) and AST to ALT ratio (AAR) can be used as additional NITs for significant liver fibrosis (p < 0.001). In limited-resources settings, blood-count-derived inflammatory markers such as MLR, PWR, and AISI, respectively, and hepatic indexes APRI and AAR prove to be of particular help in predicting significant liver fibrosis.

Abstract
Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disease, with a major impact on the patients' quality of life. Oxidative stress (OS) is represented by the imbalance between oxidant and antioxidant mechanisms of the organism, with increased levels being described in the majority of chronic diseases. We present the first prospective study in Romania to evaluate the redox balance changes (using a CR3000 analyzer) in patients with moderate-severe psoriasis based on treatment regimens: treatment-naïve (A), treatment with novel targeted agents (B) and methotrexate (C). The study group included 53 Caucasian patients divided into three groups (A- 27 patients, B - 15 patients, and C - 11 patients) for which OS, antioxidant status, standard blood count, and inflammatory status were evaluated. Our findings demonstrate that patients with psoriasis display high levels of OS, with elevated Free Oxygen Radical Test (FORT) (p-value for group A (pA)<0.0001, p-value for group B (pB)=0.0019 and p-value for group C (pC)=0.0063) and reduced Free Oxygen Radical Defense (FORD) (pB=0.018) values noted in our subjects. Higher erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) values were detected in groups B (pB=0.00012) and C (pC<0.00001). Psoriasis treatments alleviate FORT and FORD levels, but their impact is not sufficient to restore the oxidative balance to normal ranges. Moreover, despite adequate treatment, patients with psoriasis display elevated inflammation levels. Future research should explore in more detail the interplay between OS and inflammation in psoriasis, namely the long-term impact on the redox balance of biotherapies.

Abstract
Micro RNAs (miRNAs) are a type of non-coding RNA (ncRNA) and typically interact with specific target mRNAs through complementary base pairing, affecting their translation and/or stability. MiRNAs regulate nearly all cellular functions, including the cell fate of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs). It is now accepted that various pathologies arise at the stem level, and, in this scenario, the role played by miRNAs in the fate of MSCs becomes of primary concern. Here we have considered the existing literature in the field of miRNAs, MSCs and skin diseases, classified as inflammatory (such as psoriasis and atopic dermatitis-AD) and neoplastic (melanoma and non-melanoma-skin-cancer including squamous cell and basal cell carcinoma) diseases. In this scoping review article, the evidence recovered indicates that this topic has attracted attention, but it is still a matter of opinion. A protocol for this review was registered in PROSPERO with the registration number "CRD42023420245". According to the different skin disorders and to the specific cellular mechanisms considered (cancer stem cells, extracellular vesicles, inflammation), miRNAs may play a pro- or anti-inflammatory, as well as a tumor suppressive, or supporting, role, indicating a complex regulation of their function. It is evident that the mode of action of miRNAs is more than a switch on-off, and all the observed effects of their dysregulated expression must be checked in a detailed analysis of the targeted proteins. The involvement of miRNAs has been studied mainly for squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma, and much less in psoriasis and AD; different mechanisms have been considered, such as miRNAs included in extracellular vesicles derived both from MSCs or tumor cells, miRNAs involved in cancer stem cells formation, up to miRNAs as candidates to be new therapeutic tools.

Abstract
Chronic skin inflammatory diseases including atopic dermatitis (AD) and psoriasis have been considered uncontrolled inflammatory responses, which have usually troubled patients around the world. Moreover, the recent method to treat AD and psoriasis has been based on the inhibition, not regulation, of the abnormal inflammatory response, which can induce a number of side effects and drug resistance in long-term treatment. Mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) and their derivatives have been widely used in immune diseases based on their regeneration, differentiation, and immunomodulation with few adverse effects, which makes MSCs a promising treatment for chronic skin inflammatory diseases. As a result, in this review, we aim to systematically discuss the therapeutic effects of various resources of MSCs, the application of preconditioning MSCs and engineering extracellular vesicles (EVs) in AD and psoriasis, and the clinical evaluation of the administration of MSCs and their derivatives, which can provide a comprehensive vision for the application of MSCs and their derivatives in future research and clinical treatment.

Abstract
Stem cell-mediated therapies in combination with biomaterial and growth factor-based approaches in regenerative medicine are rapidly evolving with increasing application beyond the dermatologic field. Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) are the more frequently used adult stem cells due to their abundance and easy access. In the case of volumetric defects, adipose tissue can take the shape of defects, restoring the volume and enhancing the regeneration of receiving tissue. When regenerative purposes prevail on volume restoration, the stromal vascular fraction (SVF) rich in staminal cells, purified mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) or their cell-free derivatives grafting are favoured. The therapeutic efficacy of acellular approaches is explained by the fact that a significant part of the natural propensity of stem cells to repair damaged tissue is ascribable to their secretory activity that combines mitogenic factors, cytokines, chemokines and extracellular matrix components. Therefore, the secretome's ability to modulate multiple targets simultaneously demonstrated preclinical and clinical efficacy in reversing pathological mechanisms of complex conditions such atopic dermatitis (AD), vitiligo, psoriasis, acne and Lichen sclerosus (LS), non-resolving wounds and alopecia. This review analysing both in vivo and in vitro models gives an overview of the clinical relevance of adipose tissue-derivatives such as autologous fat graft, stromal vascular fraction, purified stem cells and secretome for skin disorders application. Finally, we highlighted the major disease-specific limitations and the future perspective in this field.

Mesenchymal Stem Cells Profile in Adult Atopic Dermatitis and Effect of IL4-IL13 Inflammatory Pathway Inhibition In Vivo: Prospective Case-Control Study. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11164759.

Abstract
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is an inflammatory disease that typically begins in childhood and may persist into adulthood, becoming a lifelong condition. The major inflammatory mediators of AD are known to be interleukin IL4 and IL13, so Dupilumab, which is able to inhibit both interleukins by blocking the shared IL4Rα subunit, has become an attractive option for treating AD. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are involved in the onset and development of AD by secreting specific interleukins. The aim of this study was to isolate MSCs from healthy controls (C-MSCs) and patients with AD before (AD-MSCs T0) and after 16 weeks of treatment with Dupilumab (AD-MSCs T16); to evaluate the expression mainly of IL4 and IL13 and of other inflammatory cytokines in C-MSCs, AD-MSCs at T0 and at T16; and to evaluate the efficacy of Dupilumab on MSCs immunobiology. C- and AD-MSCs (T0, T16) were isolated from skin specimens and characterized; the expression/secretion of IL4 and IL13 was evaluated using immuno-cytochemistry (ICC), indirect immune-fluorescence (IIF) and an ELISA test; secretion of IL2, IL4, IL5, IL6, IL10, IL12, IL13, IL17A, Interferon gamma (IFNγ), Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα), Granulocyte Colony-Stimulating Factor (G-CSF), and Transforming Growth Factor beta1 (TGFβ1) were measured with ELISA. IL13 and IL6 were over-expressed, while IL4 was down-regulated in AD-MSCs at T0 compared to C-MSCs. IL6 and IL13 expression was restored after 16 weeks of Dupilumab treatment, while no significant effects on IL4 expression were noted. Finally, IL2, IL5, IL10, IL12, IL17A, INFγ, TNFα, G-CSF, and TGFβ1 were similarly secreted by C- and AD-MSCs. Although Dupilumab blocks the IL4Rα subunit shared by IL4 and IL13, it is evident that its real target is IL13, and its ability to target IL13 in MSCs reinforces the evidence, already known in differentiated cells, of the central role IL13 rather than IL4 in the development of AD. The inflammatory cascade in AD begins at the mesenchymal level, so an upstream therapeutic intervention, able to modify the immunobiology of atopic MSCs, could potentially change the natural history of the disease.

Abstract
Psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis, together known as psoriatic disease, is highly prevalent chronic relapsing inflammatory disease affecting skin, joints or both and is associated with several comorbidities such as cardiovascular, metabolic, psychiatric, renal disease etc. The etiopathogenesis of psoriasis is complex and mainly driven by aberrant immune response owing to the genetic susceptibility and various environmental factors such as trauma, infections and drugs. Recent advances in understanding molecular and cellular pathways have identified tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-17 (IL-17), IL-23, IL-22 as major contributors in psoriasis pathogenesis. Advances in the knowledge of pathophysiology, the interaction of autoinflammation and clinical phenotypes have led to the development of highly effective targeted therapeutic agents which include TNF-α, IL-17, IL-23, IL-1 α/β or IL-36 inhibitors or receptor blockers, small molecule drugs like phosphodiesterase-4 inhibitors (apremilast), Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors, retinoic acid receptor-related orphan receptor γt (RORγt) inhibitors. These novel drugs have promised the potential of improved disease control. In recent years, the transition from biologics to biosimilars especially with TNF-α inhibitors had significant impact on decreasing health care cost and increasing therapeutic options to the patients. However, selection of right treatment for an individual patient still remains challenging. Moreover, interplay between different epigenetic mechanisms such as the DNA methylation, chromatin modifications and noncoding RNA regulation has recently been started to be deciphered. Enzymes inhibitors involved in epigenetic pathways such as DNA methyltransferases and histone deacetylases demonstrated to restore normal epigenetic patterns in clinical settings and have provided the potential as novel therapeutic targets for psoriasis. In this review, we will discuss novel biologic agents and newer therapeutic approaches in treatment of psoriatic disease.

Abstract
Psoriasis is a chronic, immune-mediated inflammatory dermatosis characterized by the appearance of erythematous plaques, covered by white scales, occasionally pruritogenic, and distributed mainly on the extensor areas. Oxidative stress is defined as an imbalance or a transient or chronic increase in the levels of free oxygen/nitrogen radicals, either as a result of the exaggerated elevation in their production or the decrease in their ability to be eliminated by antioxidant systems. Although the pathogenesis of psoriasis remains far from elucidated, there are studies that delineate an involvement of oxidative stress in this skin disorder. Thus, a systematic search was computed in PubMed/Medline, Web of Science and SCOPUS and, in total, 1293 potentially eligible articles exploring this research question were detected. Following the removal of duplicates and the exclusion of irrelevant manuscripts based on the screening of their titles and abstracts (n = 995), 298 original articles were selected for full-text review. Finally, after we applied the exclusion and inclusion criteria, 79 original articles were included in this systematic review. Overall, the data analyzed in this systematic review point out that oxidative stress markers are elevated in psoriasis and share an association with the duration and severity of the disease. The concentrations of these biomarkers are impacted on by anti-psoriasis therapy. In addition, the crosstalk between psoriasis and oxidative stress is influenced by several polymorphisms that arise in genes encoding markers or enzymes related to the redox balance. Although the involvement of oxidative stress in psoriasis remains undisputable, future research is needed to explore the utility of assessing circulating serum, plasma, urinary and/or skin biomarkers of oxidative stress and of studying polymorphisms in genes regulating the redox balance, as well as how can these findings be translated into the management of psoriasis, as well in understanding its pathogenesis and evolution.

Dermal Mesenchymal Stem Cells from Psoriatic Lesions Stimulate HaCaT Cell Proliferation, Differentiation, and Migration via Activating the PI3K/AKT Signaling Pathway. Dermatology 2021; 238:283-291.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by excessive proliferation and abnormal differentiation of keratinocytes. Dermal mesenchymal stem cells (DMSCs) are not only involved in the regeneration of skin tissue, but also can regulate skin microenvironment by secreting cytokines. However, whether and how psoriatic DMSCs regulate proliferation and differentiation of keratinocytes remains unknown. OBJECTIVE To study the effects of psoriatic DMSCs on the proliferation, differentiation, and migration of keratinocytes and the underlying mechanisms. METHODS Following co-cultures of HaCaT cells with either psoriatic DMSCs (p-DMSCs) or DMSCs from normal volunteers (n-DMSCs), HaCaT cell proliferation was assessed using CCK-8 and EDU incorporation assay, while scratch assay and transwell assay were used to assess cell migration. qRT-PCR was used to determine expression levels of mRNA for cell proliferation (Ki-67) and differentiation (keratin 5, involucrin, and filaggrin). Western blot was used to measure expression levels of proteins associated with keratinocyte proliferation and differentiation in cultured HaCaT cells treated with or without PI3K inhibitor. ELISA assay was used to measure expression profile of stem cell factor (SCF), epidermal growth factor (EGF), and interleukin-11 (IL-11) within the co-culture supernatants. RESULTS The results showed that p-DMSCs displayed a higher potency than n-DMSCs in stimulating proliferation, differentiation, and migration of HaCaT cells. Expression levels of PI3K and AKT proteins were markedly increased in HaCaT cells co-cultured with DMSCs versus HaCaT cell culture alone. Moreover, inhibition of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway reversed the effect of p-DMSCs on proliferation, differentiation, and migration of HaCaT cells. Compared with n-DMSCs, the p-DMSCs showed increased secretion of IL-11, EGF, and SCF. CONCLUSION p-DMSCs stimulate HaCaT cell proliferation, differentiation and migration via activating the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway, providing a new insight into the pathogenesis of psoriasis.

An Update on the Potential of Mesenchymal Stem Cell Therapy for Cutaneous Diseases. Stem Cells Int 2021; 2021:8834590. [PMID: 33505474 PMCID: PMC7806381 DOI: 10.1155/2021/8834590] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/15/2020] [Revised: 12/21/2020] [Accepted: 12/25/2020] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Mesenchymal stem or stromal cells (MSCs) are nonhematopoietic postnatal stem cells with self-renewal, multipotent differentiation, and potent immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory capabilities, thus playing an important role in tissue repair and regeneration. Numerous clinical and preclinical studies have demonstrated the potential application of MSCs in the treatment of tissue inflammation and immune diseases, including inflammatory skin diseases. Therefore, understanding the biological and immunological characteristics of MSCs is important to standardize and optimize MSC-based regenerative therapy. In this review, we highlight the mechanisms underlying MSC-mediated immunomodulation and tissue repair/regeneration and present the latest development of MSC-based clinical trials on cutaneous diseases.

The ethanolic extract of Terminalia argentea Mart. & Zucc. bark reduces the inflammation through the modulation of cytokines and nitric oxide mediated by the downregulation of NF-κB. JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2020; 261:113150. [PMID: 32730887 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2020.113150] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/07/2020] [Revised: 06/18/2020] [Accepted: 07/02/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Terminalia argentea Mart. & Zucc. (Combretaceae), popularly known as "capitão do campo", is native from the Brazilian cerrado, which is used in folk medicine to treat inflammatory diseases. AIM OF THE STUDY We aimed to investigate the anti-inflammatory effects, toxicity and mechanisms of action regarding the use of the hydroalcoholic extract of T. argentea bark. MATERIALS AND METHODS Toxicity was determinate in vitro using the macrophage lineage J774.1 without LPS. Cells were treated with 0.5; 2; 8; 32 and 125 μg/mL of the plant extract. Cell viability was assessed by MTT colorimetric assay. The production of nitrite and cytokines was also determined in the supernatants. A NF-κB reporter assay using RAW macrophages was employed to elucidate the impact of the plant extract on the expression of such molecule. In mice, toxicity was assessed by orally given an intermediate to high concentration of the plant extract on a single dose (1000 or 5000 mg/kg) or low and intermediate doses (300 or 1000 mg/kg) twice daily for 14 days. Blood samples were collected for biochemical analysis. The anti-inflammatory activity was assessed using the air-pouch model with or without pre-inoculation with the inflammatory stimuli LPS (0.5 μg/mL), followed by treatment with plant extract at 5, 60 or 300 mg/kg administered in the air pouch (subcutaneous injection). After 4 h, mice were euthanized and the air pouches washed with 2 mL heparinized PBS (10 IU/mL). Then, the local production in the air pouch wash of cytokines, total proteins and leukocytes was assessed. RESULTS No signals of toxicity were observed either in cells or mice. Regardless the concentration used in vitro, the extract exhibited a significant anti-inflammatory activity, as perceived by the reduction of the inflammatory cytokines IL-1β, TNF-α and IL-6 and nitrites on cell supernatants. This was concomitant with a downregulation in NF-κB and elevated levels of IL-10. In mice, similar effects were observed, especially when the plant extract was given at 300 mg/kg, inhibiting the release of IL-1β, TNF-α, IL-6 and proteins, as well as increasing the release of IL-10. CONCLUSIONS Altogether, our results demonstrated that the hydroalcoholic extract of T. argentea bark has anti-inflammatory activity without inducing toxicity in cells or living animals. This activity seems to be chiefly influenced by a downregulation in NF-κB, inflammatory cytokines and production of nitrite along with augmented concentration of IL-10.

Abstract
The dermal mesenchymal stem cells (DMSCs) from psoriasis display higher expression level of epidermal growth factor-like repeats and discoidin I-like domains 3 (EDIL3), while EDIL3 can bind integrins, including αvβ3 and αvβ5, to regulate angiogenesis. To assess the role of EDIL3 derived from DMSCs of psoriasis (P-DMSCs) in angiogenesis, in vitro, EDIL3 of DMSCs from psoriasis was silenced by interfering EDIL3. Then the efficacy of silencing EDIL3 was tested by fluorescent flag, qRT-PCR and western blotting. And, in vitro, the relationship of EDIL3 in DMSCs with the angiogenesis of HUVECs were investigated through co-culture system. In vivo, EDIL3 recombinant protein was injected into IMQ cream-induced psoriasis-like skin lesions of mouse and EDIL3-associated tube formation were determined using Image J software. Our results showed the capacity of the adhesion, migration and tube formation of HUVECs in all psoriatic DMSCs groups were significantly higher compared with the control and si-EDIL3 groups (all P<0.05) in vitro. Moreover, under stimulated by EDIL3 recombinant protein, EDIL3-associated tube formation was dramatically elevated in vivo (P<0.01). In this study, EDIL3 could promote the adhesion, migration and tube formation of ECs and participant in the angiogenesis pathogenesis of psoriasis through affecting biological function on ECs both in vitro and in vivo. The results suggest a potential role of the critical pro-angiogenic factor EDIL3 in psoriasis therapy.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have recently been shown to have not only regenerative capabilities but also immunomodulating properties. For this reason, they are currently under investigation in clinical trials for the treatment of several autoimmune systemic disorders. Psoriasis is a systemic immune-mediated disease for which MSCs could have therapeutic potential. We analysed the existing literature with regard to MSC-based strategies for the treatment of psoriasis, using the MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus and Cochrane Library electronic databases from inception to the date of study. A number of studies confirm the involvement of MSCs in psoriasis pathogenesis and therefore designate MSCs as an important potential therapeutic tool in this setting. Preclinical data are mostly based on imiquimod-induced murine models of psoriasis, and confirm the anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory action of MSCs in the setting of psoriasis. Six patients affected by psoriasis were described in four clinical studies. Despite significant differences in terms of therapeutic protocols and clinical outcomes, the MSC-based regimens were efficacious in 100% of the cases. Despite more data still being needed, MSCs could be a promising therapy for psoriasis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Psoriasis is a chronic recurrent inflammatory disease. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can regulate the inflammatory microenvironment, thereby controlling the proliferation, differentiation, and migration of immune cells. Connexin 43(Cx43), a key gap junction protein, has been shown to form gap junctions for communication between neighboring cells. OBJECTIVE We investigated the expression of Cx43 in dermal mesenchymal stem cells (DMSCs) derived from psoriasis patients and explored the relationship between the Cx43-mediated gap junction intercellular communication (GJIC) and DMSCs. METHODS Human DMSCs were isolated and propagated in adherent culture. Quantitative real-time reverse transcription PCR and western blot and immunofluorescence were used to detect the expression and localization of Cx43 in DMSCs. Fluorescence redistribution after photobleaching was performed to assess adjacent DMSCs GJIC. CCK8 was used to detect the proliferation of DMSCs before and after gap junction blocker (18α-glycyrrhetinic acid; AGA) treatment. Cell energy metabolism was analyzed with an energy metabolism analyzer. RESULTS Cx43 was located in the cytoplasm and cytomembrane, as well as partially in the nucleus of DMSCs. The expression of Cx43 in psoriasis DMSCs was higher than that in control samples and the gap junction function was enhanced. In addition, the glycolysis and mitochondrial respiration of psoriasis DMSCs were also enhanced. However, AGA inhibited the expression of Cx43, attenuated GJIC function, and inhibited the proliferation of DMSCs. CONCLUSIONS Our results indicated that the expression of Cx43 in DMSCs from psoriasis lesions is increased and that the inhibition of Cx43 leads to the inhibition of both GJIC and DMSCs proliferation.

Abstract
Introduction: Conventional topical therapies and disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) for patients with psoriasis are often linked to inadequate outcomes and risk of multiple adverse effects. Biologic agents such as etanercept (ETN) have revolutionized the therapeutic management of psoriasis, allowing the treatment of most difficult cases, and fragile patients.Areas covered: The authors searched PubMed using the term 'psoriasis,' 'etanercept,' and 'safety.' Articles considered by the authors to be most relevant, such as randomized controlled studies, cohort studies, and review articles placing emphasis on studies of efficacy and safety were selected. Case reports and letters relating to safety were also included. The main sources of data referenced by these articles were also included in the review. Besides, to get the relevant studies, the reference lists were examined to identify the potentially available studies. The aim of this review is to describe the safety profile of ETN, used for psoriasis treatment, focusing on related clinical implications.Expert opinion: ETN has a favorable safety profile, and its use should be largely considered in psoriatic patients. Caution should be recommended in case of chronic heart failure, autoimmune disease, previous malignancies, familial history of demyelinating diseases, latent TBC infection, chronic HBV and HCV infection or HIV.

Mesenchymal Stromal Cells from the Epidermis and Dermis of Psoriasis Patients: Morphology, Immunophenotype, Differentiation Patterns, and Regulation of T Cell Proliferation.

Abstract
Psoriasis is a skin disease characterized by hyperproliferation of keratinocytes and chronic inflammation. Mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) exhibit an immunoregulatory function that can be altered in the skin of these patients. However, to date, the presence and functional capacity of MSCs in the dermis and epidermis of patients with psoriasis have not been fully established. In the present study, we evaluated the presence of MSCs in the skin of patients by obtaining adherent cells from the dermis and epidermis of lesional and nonlesional areas and characterizing them in a comparative manner with corresponding cells obtained from the dermis (HD-MSCs) and epidermis (HE-MSCs) of healthy donors. We determined whether the adherent cells had immunophenotypic profiles and differentiation potentials that were characteristic of MSCs. In addition, we analyzed their immunosuppression function by evaluating their capacity to decrease T cell proliferation. Our results indicate the presence of MSCs in the dermis and epidermis of healthy donors and patients with psoriasis; adherent cells from all skin sources exhibited MSC characteristics, such as expression of CD73, CD90, and CD105 markers and a lack of hematopoietic and endothelial marker expression. However, the cell populations obtained showed differences in differentiation potential toward adipogenic, osteogenic, and chondrogenic lineages. In addition, we observed a low MSC obtention frequency in nonlesional epidermal samples (NLE-MSCs), which also showed alterations in morphology and proliferation rate. Interestingly, MSCs from both the nonlesional dermis (NLD-MSCs) and lesional dermis (LD-MSCs) showed higher HLA class I antigen (HLA-I) expression than HD-MSCs. Moreover, NLD-MSCs showed a low T cell proliferation suppression capacity. In summary, this study demonstrates the presence of MSCs in the epidermis and dermis of patients with psoriasis and suggests that such cells may favor the inflammatory process and thus psoriatic lesion development through high HLA-I expression and low immunosuppression capacity.

Abstract
Introduction: The treatment of psoriasis with conventional topical therapies and disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) is often linked to unsatisfactory outcomes and the risk of serious adverse events. Over the last decades, research advances in understanding the role of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF α) and other cytokines in the pathogenesis of psoriasis have driven the introduction of biologic agents targeting specific immune mediators in everyday clinical practice. TNF α inhibitors are a consolidated treatment option for patients with moderate-to-severe disease with remarkable efficacy and a reassuring safety profile.Areas covered: The PubMed database was searched using combinations of the following keywords: psoriasis, TNF α inhibitors, biologic therapy, pharmacodynamics, adalimumab, etanercept, infliximab, certolizumab pegol, golimumab, adverse effects. The aim of this review is to describe the pharmacodynamic profile of anti-TNF α inhibitors, currently approved by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for the treatment of psoriasis, focusing on related clinical implications, also in comparison to the new generation biological therapies targeting the interleukin 23/interleukin 17 axis.Expert opinion: Pharmacodynamics of TNF α inhibitors should be fully considered in planning patient's therapy strategies, especially in case of secondary failures, poor adherence to treatment, instable psoriasis, high risk of infection, pregnant or lactating women, metabolic comorbidities, coexistence of other immune-mediated inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
Cushing syndrome (CS), caused by glucocorticoid (GCs) excess, is strictly connected to onset of different metabolic diseases and impaired wound healing. The source of excessively high levels of GCs allows the identification of endogenous and exogenous (iatrogenic) CS. Iatrogenic patients usually receive also anti-metabolites serving as the foundation to modern steroid-sparing immunosuppressive therapy. Tissues mainly targeted by CS are bone and fat, both derived from progenitor cells named mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). In addition, the pathogenic role of MSCs in other diseases sharing common properties with CS, such as an altered inflammatory profile and increased oxidative stress, has been identified. In this light, MSCs isolated from skin of control healthy subjects (C-MSCs), patients affected by endogenous CS (ENDO-MSCs), patients affected by iatrogenic CS (IATRO-MSCs) and patients affected by exogenous CS receiving steroid-sparing drugs (SS-MSCs), respectively, have been isolated and analyzed. ENDO- and IATRO-MSCs showed a reduced differentiative potential toward osteogenic and adipogenic lineages compared to C-MSCs, whereas SS-MSCs re-acquired the ability to differentiate, with a trend similar to control cells. In addition, MSCs from CS groups, compared to control MSCs, displayed a reduction in the secretion of cytokines (immune-suppression), a decreased expression of genes related to wound healing and a dysregulation of the enzymes/genes related to antioxidant capacity. In conclusion, our results suggest that the hallmarks of CS, such as wound healing impairment and immunosuppression, are already detectable in undifferentiated cells, which could be considered a potential therapeutic early target for control of CS.

Abstract
Importance Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a disease of the terminal hair follicle in apocrine gland-enriched skin areas, where immunobiology dysregulation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) may have a key role. Objective To investigate the MSC profile in patients with HS and in healthy controls. Design, Setting, and Participants In this prospective case-control study, patients with HS were recruited from the Dermatological Clinic at the Department of Clinical and Molecular Sciences, Università Politecnica delle Marche, Ancona, Italy. Biopsy specimens were analyzed at the Histology Section of the Department of Clinical and Molecular Sciences. Participants included 11 patients with HS and 9 healthy controls, who were recruited into the study between January 20, 2015, and September 20, 2016, and underwent punch biopsy from axillary skin. None of the participants had received any antibiotics (systemic or topical therapy) within almost 12 weeks before the study. Main Outcomes and Measures The immunophenotypic profile of MSCs was characterized following the minimal criteria established by the International Society for Cellular Therapy for the identification of MSCs. Levels of 12 cytokines belonging to helper T-cell subtypes 1, 2, and 17 pathways were examined on the secretome of isolated cells by enzyme-linked immunoabsorbent assay. Results Skin MSCs were characterized in 11 patients with HS (8 women and 3 men; mean [SD] age, 35.8 [7.9] years) and 9 healthy controls (7 women and 2 men; mean [SD] age, 36.7 [6.9] years). The healthy controls were matched with patients with HS for body mass index. Mesenchymal stem cells isolated from patients with HS (HS-MSCs) and from healthy controls (C-MSCs) met the International Society for Cellular Therapy minimal criteria. Compared with C-MSCs, cytokine analyses of HS-MSCs revealed statistically significant overexpression of interleukin (IL) 6 (median [interquartile range {IQR}], 8765.00 [7659.00-9123.00] vs 2849.00 [2609.00-3001.00] pg/mL; P = .008), IL-10 (median [IQR], 29.46 [26.35-35.79] vs 21.36 [19.89-23.33] pg/mL; P = .004), IL-12 (median [IQR], 15.25 [13.27-16.25] vs 11.89 [10.73-12.33] pg/mL; P = .03), IL-17A (median [IQR], 15.24 [13.23-17.24] vs 11.24 [10.28-11.95] pg/mL; P = .008), tumor necrosis factor (median [IQR], 42.54 [42.20-43.94] vs 32.55 [31.78-33.28] pg/mL; P = .004), transforming growth factor β1 (median [IQR], 1728.00 [1535.00-1979.00] vs 500.80 [465.00-634.50] pg/mL; P = .004), and interferon γ (median [IQR], 11.49 [10.71-12.35] vs 9.45 [9.29-10.01] pg/mL; P = .005). Conclusions and Relevance Mesenchymal stem cells isolated from the skin of patients with HS seem to be activated toward an inflammatory status. The imbalance between proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory activities of MSCs favors the hypothesis of their pathogenic involvement in HS.

[PMID: 30198149 DOI: 10.1111/ijd.14197] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2017] [Revised: 06/27/2018] [Accepted: 08/01/2018] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Psoriasis is characterized by chronic inflammatory dermatosis, and the pathogenesis of psoriasis is associated with mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and deregulation of the expression of miR-31. This study aimed to clarify the function of miR-31 in dermal MSCs (DMSCs) in the pathogenesis of psoriasis. METHODS The expression of miR-31 was assayed by a microarray and that of target genes of miR-31 was tested by quantitative PCR. RESULTS The expression of miR-31 in the psoriasis group was 0.2677 folds that of the control group. The expression of EMP1 and EIG121L genes, whose products are located on the cell membrane, in the psoriasis group was 4.095579 and 5.367017 folds that in the control group, respectively. The expression of GRB10, PTPN14, QKI, RNF144B, and TACC2 genes, whose products are located in the cytoplasm, in the psoriasis group was 1.440428, 1.198335, 1.737285, 7.379546, and 1.531947 folds that of the control. The expression of PRELP, whose products are secreted in the extracellular space, in the psoriasis group was 1.351684 folds that of the control. The expression of RBMS1, KHDRBS3, and SATB2, whose products play a role in the nucleus, in the psoriasis group was 2.237199, 1.277159, and 1.005742 folds that of the control, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that the low expression of miR-31 in DMSCs in patients with psoriasis causes an increase in the expression of some of its target genes, which in turn facilitates T lymphocyte activation by inhibiting the proliferation of DMSCs and therefore participates in the pathogenesis of psoriasis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Inflammation and tumor are now an inseparable binomial. Inflammation may also derive by the use of breast implants followed by the formation of a periprosthetic capsule. It is known that tumor cells, in an inflamed microenvironment, can profit by the paracrine effect exerted also by mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Here we evaluated the role of inflammation on the immunobiology of MSCs before and after cocultures with cells derived from breast adenocarcinoma. METHODS MSCs derived from both inflamed (I-MSCs) and control (C-MSCs) tissues were isolated and cocultured with MCF7 cells derived from breast adenocarcinoma. Before and after cocultures, the proliferation rate of MCF7 cells and the expression/secretion of cytokines related to inflammation were tested. RESULTS Before cocultures, higher levels of cytokine related to chronic inflammation were detected in I-MSCs than in C-MSCs. After cocultures with MCF7, C- and I-MSCs show a variation in cytokine production. In detail, IL-2, IL-4, IL-5, IL-10, IL-13, TGF-β and G-CSF were decreased, whereas IL-6, IL-12, IFN-γ, and IL-17 were oversecreted. Proliferation of MCF7 was significantly increased after cocultures with I-MSCs. CONCLUSIONS Inflammation at the site of origin of MSCs affects their immunobiology. Even if tumor cells increased their proliferation rate after cocultures with I-MSCs, the analysis of the cytokines, known to play a role in the interference of tumor cells with the host immune system, absolves completely the breast implants from the insult to enforce the risk of adenocarcinoma.

Abstract
Psoriasis is a complex chronic relapsing inflammatory disease. Although the exact mechanism remains unknown, it is commonly accepted that the development of psoriasis is a result of multi-system interactions among the epidermis, dermis, blood vessels, immune system, neuroendocrine system, metabolic system, and hematopoietic system. Many cell types have been confirmed to participate in the pathogenesis of psoriasis. Here, we review the stem cell abnormalities related to psoriasis that have been investigated recently.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate prospectively the effect of etanercept (a tumour necrosis factor [TNF]-α inhibitor) on vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) production by mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) from patients with psoriasis. METHODS MSCs from lesional and perilesional skin were isolated, cultured and characterized. VEGF production was evaluated at baseline and after 12 weeks' etanercept treatment. RESULTS Etanercept treatment resulted in significant reductions in VEGF production compared with baseline in both lesional MSCs (256.42 ± 3.07 pg/ml per 106 cells at baseline vs 27.66 ± 2.03 pg/ml per 106 cells after treatment) and perilesional MSCs (235.03 ± 2.52 pg/ml per 106 cells vs 41.65 ± 4.72 pg/ml per 106 cells). CONCLUSIONS Etanercept reduces the production of VEGF in MSCs, which may modulate angiogenesis and contributes towards preventing the start of the "psoriatic march".

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) exhibit high proliferation and self-renewal capabilities and are critical for tissue repair and regeneration during ontogenesis. They also play a role in immunomodulation. MSCs can be isolated from a variety of tissues and have many potential applications in the clinical setting. However, MSCs of different origins may possess different biological characteristics. In this study, we performed a comprehensive comparison of MSCs isolated from bone marrow and skin (BMMSCs and SMSCs, resp.), including analysis of the skin sampling area, separation method, culture conditions, primary and passage culture times, cell surface markers, multipotency, cytokine secretion, gene expression, and fibroblast-like features. The results showed that the MSCs from both sources had similar cell morphologies, surface markers, and differentiation capacities. However, the two cell types exhibited major differences in growth characteristics; the primary culture time of BMMSCs was significantly shorter than that of SMSCs, whereas the growth rate of BMMSCs was lower than that of SMSCs after passaging. Moreover, differences in gene expression and cytokine secretion profiles were observed. For example, secretion of proliferative cytokines was significantly higher for SMSCs than for BMMSCs. Our findings provide insights into the different biological functions of both cell types.

Abstract
Possible association between anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) and breast implants has been suggested. In this context, formation of the periprosthetic capsule has been reported as a cause of inflammation, which plays a key role in tumor onset. Tumors take advantage of inflammation to influence and interfere with the host immune response by secreting multiple factors, and their onset and survival is in turn affected by the paracrine effects from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). In this study, we tried to clarify how inflammation can modify the immunobiology and the exerted paracrine effect of MSCs. MSCs derived from both inflamed (I-MSCs) and control (C-MSCs) tissues were isolated and co-cultured with an ALCL cell line. Proliferation rate and the expression of selected cytokines were tested. I-MSCs secrete higher levels of cytokine related to chronic inflammation than C-MSCs. After co-cultures with KI-JK cells, C- and I-MSCs show the same variation in the cytokine expression, with an increase of IL2, IL4, IL5, IL10, IL13, TNF-α, TGF-β, and G-CSF. Proliferation of ALCL cells was not influenced by co-cultures. Our results state that (i) inflamed microenvironment affects the immunobiology of MSCs modifying the profile of the expressed cytokines, and (ii) the paracrine effects exerted by MSCs on ALCL cells are not influenced by inflammation. Moreover, it seems that ALCL cells are able to manipulate MSCs' immunoregulatory properties to evade the host immune control. Nevertheless, this ability is not associated with inflammation and the question about BIA-ALCL is not proved by our experiments.

Abstract
Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory immune-mediated skin disease, frequently associated with systemic comorbidities. According to recent data, patients with psoriasis show a greater prevalence of metabolic syndrome, which confers a higher cardiovascular risk. The link between these pathological conditions appears to be a chronic low-grade inflammatory status. The aim of this review is to focus on the multiple epidemiological and physio-pathogenetic aspects linking non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, psoriasis, and cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
AIMS The immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory properties of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been proposed in several autoimmune diseases and successfully tested in animal models, but their contribution to psoriasis and underlying pathways remains elusive. Likewise, an increased or prolonged presence of reactive oxygen species and aberrant antioxidant systems in skin are known to contribute to the development of psoriasis and therefore effective antioxidant therapy is highly required. We explored the feasibility of using extracellular superoxide dismutase (SOD3)-transduced allogeneic MSCs as a novel therapeutic approach in a mouse model of imiquimod (IMQ)-induced psoriasis-like inflammation and investigated the poorly understood underlying mechanism. In addition, the chronicity and late-phase response of inflammation were evaluated during continued activation of antigen receptors by applying a booster dose of IMQ. RESULTS Subcutaneous injection of allogeneic SOD3-transduced MSCs significantly prevented psoriasis development in our IMQ-induced mouse model, likely through a suppression of proliferation and infiltration of various effector cells into skin with a concomitant modulated cytokine and chemokine expression and inhibition of signaling pathways such as toll-like receptor-7, nuclear factor-kappa B, p38 mitogen-activated kinase, and Janus kinase-signal transducer and activator of transcription, as well as adenosine receptor activation. INNOVATION AND CONCLUSION Our data offer a novel therapeutic approach to chronic inflammatory skin diseases such as psoriasis by leveraging immunomodulatory effects of MSCs as well as SOD3 expression.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dermal microvasculature expansion and angiogenesis are prominent in psoriasis. Our previous microarray study showed that the angiogenesis-related genes EDIL3 (epidermal growth factor-like repeats and discoidin I-like domains 3), AMOT (angiomotin) and ECM1 (extracellular matrix protein 1), had high expression levels in dermal mesenchymal stem cells (DMSCs) from psoriatic skin lesions. AIM To investigate the mRNA and protein expressions of EDIL3, AMOT and ECM1 in DMSCs derived from psoriatic skin in order to better determine the molecular mechanisms of angiogenesis in the skin. METHODS DMSCs from 12 patients with psoriasis and 14 healthy controls (HCs) were cultured to passage 3, and identified by morphology, immunophenotype and multipotential differentiation. The mRNA and protein expressions of EDIL3, AMOT, and ECM1 in the DMSCs were determined using real-time reverse transcription PCR and western blotting. RESULTS DMSCs displayed spindle-like morphology and surface protein expression, and were able to differentiate into osteoblasts, chondrocytes and adipocytes. mRNA expression analysis showed that EDIL3, AMOT and ECM1 were expressed at 2.54-fold, 2.11-fold, and 1.90-fold higher levels, respectively, in psoriatic DMSCs compared with HC DMSCs (all P < 0.05). Protein analysis showed significantly (all P < 0.01) higher concentrations of EDIL3, AMOT and ECM1in the psoriasis group than in the HC group. CONCLUSIONS Our data demonstrate for the first time that expression of EDIL3, AMOT and ECM1 is altered in DMSCs in psoriasis, suggesting that EDIL3, AMOT and ECM1 are involved in the excessive angiogenesis and vasodilation observed in psoriasis.

Adalimumab Reduces Photoreceptor Cell Death in A Mouse Model of Retinal Degeneration. Sci Rep 2015; 5:11764.

Abstract
Growing evidence suggests that inflammation is involved in the progression of retinitis pigmentosa (RP) both in patients and in animal models. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of Adalimumab, a monoclonal anti-TNFα antibody, on retinal degeneration in a murine model of human autosomal recessive RP, the rd10 mice at postnatal day (P) 18. In our housing conditions, rd10 retinas were seriously damaged at P18. Adalimumab reduced photoreceptor cell death, as determined by scoring the number of TUNEL-positive cells. In addition, nuclear poly (ADP) ribose (PAR) content, an indirect measure of PAR polymerase (PARP) activity, was also reduced after treatment. The blockade of TNFα ameliorated reactive gliosis, as visualized by decreased GFAP and IBA1 immunolabelling (Müller cell and microglial markers, respectively) and decreased up-regulation of TNFα gene expression. Adalimumab also improved antioxidant response by restoring total antioxidant capacity and superoxide dismutase activity. Finally, we observed that Adalimumab normalized energetic and metabolic pattern in rd10 mouse retinas. Our study suggests that the TNFα blockade could be a successful therapeutic approach to increase photoreceptor survival during the progression of RP. Further studies are needed to characterize its effect along the progression of the disease.

Abstract
Even if the existence of oral psoriasis has been suggested, it is still a debated issue. Indeed, oral inflammatory diseases may histologically resemble psoriasis-related oral lesions. However, an increased prevalence of fissured tongue and geographic tongue has been associated with psoriatic patients, being a transitory and permanent lesion, respectively. Recently, it was hypothesized that gingivitis and periodontitis share the same underlying inflammatory pathogenetic process of psoriasis. Thus, in the present study, psoriatic patients were investigated for oral mucosa lesions prevalence as well as gum disease. Results displayed an increased association between gingivitis/periodontitis and psoriasis, which may suggest common underlying pathogenic risk factors. However, large-scale studies are needed to evaluate the real prevalence of gingivitis and periodontitis in these patients, to consider them a comorbidity of psoriasis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Adipocytokines are bioactive molecules that are deeply involved in the occurrence of atherosclerosis, obesity, and autoimmune inflammatory diseases. OBJECTIVES This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) inhibitors on serum levels of adipocytokines in patients with chronic plaque psoriasis. METHODS Serum levels of adiponectin, resistin, visfatin, leptin, TNF-α, and interleukin-6 (IL-6) were evaluated in sera obtained from 47 patients with psoriasis, both at baseline and after they had received TNF-α inhibitors for 24 weeks. Equivalent data were obtained for 39 control subjects matched by age, sex, body mass index, waist : hip ratio, geographical origin, Mediterranean dietary habits, and smoking habits. RESULTS At baseline, mean serum levels of TNF-α, IL-6, leptin, resistin, and visfatin were higher in the psoriasis group than in healthy controls; these differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conversely, mean serum levels of adiponectin were significantly lower in patients with psoriasis than in controls (P < 0.0001). Serum levels of adipocytokines did not linearly correlate with anthropometric indices in psoriasis patients (P > 0.05), except in the case of leptin, for which serum levels were related to waist : hip ratio in both men and women (P < 0.05). After 24 weeks of treatment, although serum levels of proinflammatory adipocytokines were decreased, only that of leptin showed a statistically significant reduction (P = 0.0003). Serum levels of adiponectin, an anti-inflammatory adipocytokine, were only mildly increased and persisted at a significantly lower level than in healthy controls (P > 0.005). CONCLUSIONS Patients with psoriasis show an imbalance between pro- and anti-inflammatory adipocytokines, which is reduced but not normalized after administration of TNF-α inhibitors for 24 weeks. This partial rebalancing seems to be mainly related to a reduction in proinflammatory adipocytokines, rather than an increase in anti-inflammatory adipocytokines.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Data from the literature concerning the role of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection in psoriasis are still conflicting. This study was carried out to evaluate prevalence of H. pylori in patients with mild to severe psoriasis, correlation between H. pylori infection and severity of psoriasis, and effect of H. pylori eradication on the clinical course of psoriasis. METHODS Two hundred and ten patients with psoriasis and 150 healthy controls were screened for H. pylori through [(13) C] urea breath test at baseline (T0). All patients with psoriasis received standardized phototherapy treatment, and those infected by H. pylori were also treated with a 1-week triple therapy, then they were all re-evaluated four weeks later at the end of therapy (T5). RESULTS The prevalence of H. pylori was not higher in psoriasis than in the control group (20.27 vs. 22%; P > 0.05). Patients infected by H. pylori showed more severe psoriasis than uninfected patients (psoriasis area and severity index score 17.9 ± 7.1 vs. 13.7 ± 6.9; P = 0.04), and patients who received successful eradication of H. pylori infection showed a greater improvement of psoriasis than the others (psoriasis area and severity index score at T5 in patients infected by H. pylori was 8.36 ± 3.76, in uninfected patients was 10.85 ± 3.49; P = 0.006). CONCLUSIONS Patients with mild to severe psoriasis do not show a greater prevalence of H. pylori infection; however, H. pylori seems able to affect the clinical severity of psoriasis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND People with psoriasis are at higher cardiovascular risk. Plasma levels of homocysteine over the normal range have been recognized as marker of cardiovascular risk. Psoriasis patients express higher levels of plasma homocysteine than healthy people. OBJECTIVE Our study aims to investigate the correlation between homocysteinaemia, severity and duration of psoriasis and psoriasis arthritis, and to evaluate the effect of a 12-week administration of a target therapy for psoriasis on homocysteinaemia. METHODS Fifty-two psoriasis patients (study group) submitted to different kind of therapy for psoriasis (biological, systemic not biological and topical) and 24 healthy Italian subject (control group) were evaluated for their plasmatic homocysteine levels, both at baseline (T0) and 12 weeks after they a specific therapy for psoriasis. RESULTS A significant difference between the homocysteinaemia of psoriasis patients (mean 19.71 ± 11.16) and control group (13.90 ± 11.18), P < 0.05 (Fig. 1), was found at baseline (T0). The mean plasma levels of homocysteine were directly correlated with disease severity (P = 0.0401), but not with disease duration (P = 0.6018) or presence of arthritis (P = 0.6221) at baseline. None among the treatments administered to psoriasis patients caused a significant reduction in homocysteinaemia after 12 weeks of treatment. CONCLUSION Our results confirm that psoriasis patients with more severe disease, can have hyperhomocysteinaemia, without regard to disease duration or joint involvement. Hyperhomocysteinaemia is not influenced by a target therapy for psoriasis and it is as greater as psoriasis severity. However, limitation of our study is the relatively small number of cases. Homocysteine plasmatic levels should be advisable as a further independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease in psoriasis patients.

Abstract
Poor data regarding skin involvement in Myotonic Dystrophy, also named Dystrophia Myotonica type 1, have been reported. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and types of skin disorders in adult patients with Myotonic Dystrophy type 1. Fifty-five patients and one hundred age- and sex-matched healthy subjects were referred to a trained dermatologist for a complete skin examination to check for potential cutaneous hallmarks of disease. No difference in prevalence of preneoplastic, neoplastic, and cutaneous lesions was detected between the two groups. Among morphofunctional, proliferative and inflammatory lesions, focal hyperhidrosis (p < 0.0001), follicular hyperkeratosis (p = 0.0003), early androgenic alopecia (p = 0.01), nail pitting (p = 0.003), pedunculus fibromas (p = 0. 01), twisted hair (p = 0.01), seborrheic dermatitis (p = 0.02), macules of hyperpigmentation (p = 0.03) were significantly more frequent in patients compared with controls. In patients with Myotonic Dystrophy type 1 significant differences according to sex were found for: early androgenic alopecia, twisted hair and seborrheic dermatitis, whose prevalence was higher in males (p < 0.0001). Our preliminary results seem to rule out an increased prevalence of pre-neoplastic, and neoplastic skin lesions in Myotonic Dystrophy type 1. On the other hand, an increased prevalence of morphofunctional, inflammatory, and proliferative diseases involving adnexal structures seems to characterize adult patients with Myotonic Dystrophy type 1.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are likely involved in pathological processes of immune-related diseases, including psoriasis because of their immunoregulatory and pro-angiogenic effects, and the vascular proliferation, angiectasis and perivascular lymphocyte infiltration are known to be predominantly responsible for the pathological alterations in psoriasis. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate the gene expression profile of dermal MSCs from patients with psoriasis. METHODS We isolated and expanded dermal MSCs from psoriatic patients and normal controls by using the attachment assay and conducted mRNA expression profile and gene ontology analyses using microarray. RESULTS The gene expression profile of MSCs from psoriatic derma was markedly different from the normal derma-derived MSCs; the angiogenesis-related genes such as vascular endothelial growth factor A, insulin-like growth factor-binding protein-5, and GATA6 showed significant differential expression. CONCLUSIONS These results indicate that MSCs from the derma of psoriasis patients might be involved in the early development of psoriasis because of their pro-angiogenic potential as well as the immunoregulatory effect.

Abstract
The spontaneous expression of neural markers, already demonstrated in bone marrow (BM) mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), has been considered as evidence of the MSCs' predisposition to differentiate toward neural lineages, supporting their use in stem cell-based therapy for neural repair. In this study we have evaluated, by immunocytochemistry, immunoblotting, and flow cytometry experiments, the expression of neural markers in undifferentiated MSCs from different sources: human adipose stem cells (hASCs), human skin-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hS-MSCs), human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs,) and human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs). Our results demonstrate that the neuronal markers βIII-tubulin and NeuN, unlike other evaluated markers, are spontaneously expressed by a very high percentage of undifferentiated hASCs, hS-MSCs, hPDLSCs, and hDPSCs. Conversely, the neural progenitor marker nestin is expressed only by a high percentage of undifferentiated hPDLSCs and hDPSCs. Our results suggest that the expression of βIII-tubulin and NeuN could be a common feature of stem cells and not exclusive to neuronal cells. This could result in a reassessment of the use of βIII-tubulin and NeuN as the only evidence proving neuronal differentiation. Further studies will be necessary to elucidate the relevance of the spontaneous expression of these markers in stem cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Breast implants are widely used and at times might cause inflammation as a foreign body, followed by fibrous capsule formation around the implant. In cancer, the inflamed stroma is essential for preservation of the tumor. Mesenchymal stem cells can be recruited to sites of inflammation, and their role in cancer development is debated. The authors assessed the effects of inflammation caused by breast implants' effects on tumor. METHODS Mesenchymal stem cells were isolated from the fibrous capsules of women who underwent a second operation after 1 year (presenting inflammation) or after 20 years (not presenting inflammation) since initial surgery. After characterization, cells were co-cultured with MCF7, a breast cancer cell line. The expression of genes involved in oncogenesis, proliferation, and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition was investigated, followed by Western blot analyses. RESULTS After co-culture with mesenchymal stem cells from the inflamed capsule, MCF7 induced a dose- and time-dependent increase in proliferation. Polymerase chain reaction analyses revealed a dysregulation of genes involved in oncogenesis, proliferation, and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition. The subsequent evaluation by Western blot did not confirm these results, showing only a modest decrease in the expression of E-cadherin after co-culture with mesenchymal stem cells (both derived from inflamed or control capsules). CONCLUSION These data indicate that inflammation caused by breast implants partially affects proliferation of MCF7 but does not influence key mechanisms of tumor development.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Psoriasis is a chronic, inflammatory skin condition associated with a high frequency of cardiovascular events. Modifications of plasma lipids, and an increase in the levels of biochemical markers of inflammation and lipid peroxidation have been reported in subjects with psoriasis, suggesting a relationship between psoriasis, inflammation and oxidative damage. OBJECTIVES To investigate whether modulation of inflammatory activity by tumour necrosis factor-α inhibitors in patients with psoriasis is associated with modification of lipid profiles, oxidative stress and paraoxonase (PON)1 activity. METHODS The levels of plasma lipids and lipoprotein(a), and the levels of the markers of inflammation and lipid peroxidation were evaluated in subjects with psoriasis (n=23) before and after 24 weeks of treatment with etanercept. In the same subjects plasma total antioxidant capacity and the activity of PON1, an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory enzyme associated with the high-density lipoproteins (HDLs), were investigated. RESULTS The results showed that clinical improvement in patients with psoriasis treated with etanercept is associated with a reduction in the levels of inflammatory markers [C-reactive protein (CRP)] and lipid peroxidation, and also with increased antioxidant capacity in the serum of patients with psoriasis. These modifications are associated with a significant increase in the activity of PON1. A significant increase in the PON1/CRP ratio has also been observed in patients with psoriasis after treatment. The significant inverse correlation between CRP and PON1 activity suggests a relationship between PON1 activity and inflammation. CONCLUSIONS Treatment with etanercept is associated with a reduction in lipid peroxidation and an improvement in HDL antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
