Li Y, Chen G, Hu X, Bao Y, Wu C, Zeng N, Jiang F. Assessing causal relationships between gut microbiota and psoriasis: evidence from two sample Mendelian randomization analysis. Sci Rep 2024; 14:8831. [PMID: 38632320 PMCID: PMC11024213 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-59603-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/28/2023] [Accepted: 04/12/2024] [Indexed: 04/19/2024] Open
Abstract
Mounting data hints that the gut microbiota's role may be pivotal in understanding the emergence of psoriasis. However, discerning a direct causal link is yet elusive. In this exploration, we adopted a Mendelian randomization (MR) strategy to probe the prospective causal interplay between the gut's microbial landscape and the predisposition to psoriasis. Genetic markers acting as instrumental variables for gut microbiota were extrapolated from a genome-wide association study (GWAS) encompassing 18,340 individuals. A separate GWAS yielded summary data for psoriasis, which covered 337,159 patients and 433,201 control subjects. The primary analysis hinged on inverse variance weighting (IVW). Additional methods like the weighted median approach and MR-Egger regression were employed to validate the integrity of our findings. Intriguing correlations emerged between psoriasis risk and eight specific bacterial traits. To illustrate: Mollicutes presented an odds ratio (OR) of 1.003 with a 95% confidence interval (CI) spanning 1.001-1.005 (p = 0.016), while the family. Victivallaceae revealed an OR of 0.998 with CI values between 0.997 and 0.999 (p = 0.023). Eubacterium (coprostanoligenes group) revealed an OR of 0.997 with CI values between 0.994 and 0.999 (p = 0.027). Eubacterium (fissicatena group) revealed an OR of 0.997 with CI values between 0.996 and 0.999 (p = 0.005). Holdemania revealed an OR of 1.001 with CI values 1-1.003 (p = 0.034). Lachnospiraceae (NK4A136 group) revealed an OR of 0.997 with CI values between 0.995 and 0.999 (p = 0.046). Lactococcus revealed an OR of 0.998 with CI values between 0.996 and 0.999 (p = 0.008). Tenericutes revealed an OR of 1.003 with CI values between 1.001 and 1.006 (p = 0.016). Sensitivity analysis for these bacterial features yielded congruent outcomes, reinforcing statistically significant ties between the eight bacterial entities and psoriasis. This comprehensive probe underscores emerging evidence pointing towards a plausible causal nexus between diverse gut microbiota and the onset of psoriasis. It beckons further research to unravel the intricacies of how the gut's microbial constituents might sway psoriasis's pathogenesis.

Heliyon 2024; 10:e27603. [PMID: 38496849 PMCID: PMC10944262 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e27603] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/04/2023] [Revised: 03/03/2024] [Accepted: 03/04/2024] [Indexed: 03/19/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Jiuwan decoction has been used to treat chronic eczema since the Qing Dynasty. According to clinical experience, Shizhenqing granules (SZQG), derived from the Jiuwan decoction, exert beneficial clinical effects on acute eczema and reduce recurrence. Therefore, we elucidated the underlying mechanisms of SZQG through network pharmacology, molecular docking, and experimental validation. Methods The main chemical components of SZQG were identified by ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS). And the targets of SZQG against eczema were screened out through online databases. Then, the regulatory network map of the "herbal compound-potential target" and the target protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed. The Gene Ontology (GO) analysis and the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analyses were conducted using by R language. Additionally, the interaction between the active compounds and the targets was verified by molecular docking technology. Finally, an experiment in vivo was used to verify the effect and mechanism of SZQG on eczema. Results Using UHPLC-MS/MS, 158 main chemical compounds of SZQG were identified, and 72 compounds were selected according to the criteria for further analysis. All 237 potential targets of SZQG in eczema were explored using multiple online databases. The network with 14 core targets was screened out, including STAT3, RELA, TNF, JUN, MAPK3, IL-6, PIK3CA, STAT1, MAPK14, MAPK1, IL-4, NFKBIA, IL1B, and MYC. KEGG analyses indicated that the therapeutic effects of SZQG on eczema were predominantly associated with cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction, TNF, MAPK, NF-κB, toll-like receptor, T cell receptor, and Th1 and Th2 cell differentiation signaling pathways. Furthermore, the good affinity between the core compounds and core targets was verified by molecular docking technology, particularly for RELA and MAPK. Animal experiments revealed that SZQG downregulated MAPK14, RELA, T-bet, and GATA3 mRNA expression, reduced immunoglobulin E (IgE) and interleukin-4 (IL-4) serum concentrations, and improved eczema-like lesions in model rats. Conclusion This study identified potential targets and signaling pathways of SZQG in the treatment of eczema, whereby RELA and MAPK14 may constitute the main therapeutic targets of SZQG in cytokine regulation and reduction of inflammatory responses.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short RNA molecules that are not involved in coding for proteins. They have a significant function in regulating gene expression after the process of transcription. Their participation in several biological processes has rendered them appealing subjects for investigating age-related disorders. Increasing data indicates that miRNAs can be influenced by dietary variables, such as macronutrients, micronutrients, trace minerals, and nutraceuticals. This review examines the influence of dietary factors and nutraceuticals on the regulation of miRNA in relation to the process of aging. We examine the present comprehension of miRNA disruption in age-related illnesses and emphasize the possibility of dietary manipulation as a means of prevention or treatment. Consolidating animal and human research is essential to validate the significance of dietary miRNA control in living organisms, despite the abundance of information already provided by several studies. This review elucidates the complex interaction among miRNAs, nutrition, and aging, offering valuable insights into promising areas for further research and potential therapies for age-related disorders.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has as a main characteristic the exacerbation of the immune system against enterocytes, compromising the individual's intestinal microbiota. This inflammatory cascade causes several nutritional deficiencies, which further compromise immunological functioning and, as a result, worsen the prognosis. This vicious cycle can be interrupted as the patient's dietary pattern meets their needs according to their clinical condition, acting directly on the inflammatory process of IBD through the interaction of food, intestinal microbiota, and epigenome. Specific nutritional intervention for IBD has a crucial role in preventing and managing disease activity. This review addresses epigenetic modifications through dietary compounds as a mechanism for modulating the intestinal microbiota of patients with IBD.

PLANTS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 12:3579. [PMID: 37896042 PMCID: PMC10609915 DOI: 10.3390/plants12203579] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/24/2023] [Revised: 10/11/2023] [Accepted: 10/12/2023] [Indexed: 10/29/2023]
Abstract
Polyphenols are a diverse class of natural compounds that are widely distributed in various fruits, vegetables, and herbs. They possess antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and bring benefits in the prevention and treatment of various diseases. Studies suggested that polyphenols may improve cardiovascular health and may have neuroprotective effects. The Mediterranean region is a vast area. Although the territory encompasses a wide variety of cultures and dietary patterns, there are some commonalities in terms of the plant-based foods and their polyphenol content. Such polyphenols have been studied for their potential photoprotective effects on the skin. We focused on nutraceutical effects of Mediterranean plants in skin photoprotection in atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, and chronic urticaria. Results highlight the importance of exploring natural compounds for therapeutic purposes. The wide variety of polyphenols found in different foods and plants allows for a diverse range of pharmacological effects. The Mediterranean diet, rich in polyphenol-containing foods, is associated with a lower incidence of various chronic diseases, including dermatological conditions. While more research is needed to fully understand the mechanisms of action and optimal dosing of polyphenols, there is initial evidence to support their potential use as adjunctive therapy for atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, and chronic urticaria.

Circadian Oscillations of Minimal Erythema Dose (MED) are Also Influenced by Diet in Patients with Psoriasis: A Chronomedical Study. Dermatol Ther (Heidelb) 2023; 13:2229-2246. [PMID: 37573289 PMCID: PMC10539244 DOI: 10.1007/s13555-023-00987-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/20/2023] [Accepted: 07/17/2023] [Indexed: 08/14/2023] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Minimal erythema dose (MED) remains a parameter of paramount importance to orient narrow-band (NB)-UVB phototherapy in psoriatic (PsO) patients. Recently, circadian rhythm and diet were recognized as potential MED modulators, but their mutual interaction remains understudied. Thus, we aimed to evaluate the potential diet modulation of MED circadian oscillations. METHODS In the first phase, a cohort study was performed comparing potential MED oscillations (morning, afternoon, and evening) among omnivorous psoriatic patients before and after a phototherapy cycle and omnivorous healthy controls. The two groups were age-, gender-, skin-type-, MED-, and diet-matched. Then, in the second phase, another cohort study was carried out comparing MED oscillations 24 h after the last phototherapeutic session only in psoriatic patients cleared with NB-UVB and undergoing different diets (vegan, vegetarian, paleo , ketogenic, intermittent circadian fasting, and omnivore). Patients with different diets were age-, gender-, and skin-type matched. RESULTS In the first phase, we enrolled only omnivores, specifically 54 PsO patients and 54 healthy individuals. Their MED before and after NB-UVB therapy changed significantly among the three different time-points (morning, afternoon, and evening) (p < 0.001). The time effect was statistically significant in both groups before and after phototherapy. In the second phase, we enrolled 144 PsO patients (vegan, vegetarian, paleo, ketogenic, intermittent circadian fasting, and omnivore). MED circadian oscillations preserved a significant difference also after clearance and were influenced by diet type and time of day (p < 0.001). In particular, vegans displayed the lowest MED values, whilst Ramadan fasting showed the highest values in morning, afternoon, and evening. CONCLUSIONS Diet, like other ongoing therapies, should be reported in the medical records of patients with psoriasis undergoing NB-UVB and patients with lower MEDs should be preferentially treated in the morning when the MED is higher.

Abstract
The etiopathogenesis of autoimmune skin diseases is complex and still not fully understood. The role of epigenetic factors is emphasized in the development of such diseases. MicroRNAs (miRNAs), a group of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs-non-coding RNAs), are one of the important post-transcriptional epigenetic factors. miRNAs have a significant role in the regulation of the immune response by participating in the process of the differentiation and activation of B and T lymphocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells. Recent advances in research on epigenetic factors have provided new insights into the pathogenesis and potential diagnostic and therapeutic targets of many pathologies. Numerous studies revealed a change in the expression of some microRNAs in inflammatory skin disorders, and the regulation of miRNA expression is a promising therapeutic goal. This review presents the state of the art regarding changes in the expression and role of miRNAs in inflammatory and autoimmune skin diseases, including psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, vitiligo, lichen planus, hidradenitis suppurativa, and autoimmune blistering diseases.

Abstract
Psoriasis is an inflammatory disease with strong genetic links and numerous features of autoimmunity that are also influenced by environment and lifestyle, including nutritional factors and physical activity (PA), with regards to the condition of patients. Recent reports in the field of nutrigenomics indicate a significant impact of nutrients in modulating microRNAs. However, few studies have evaluated the effect of nutritional systems and PA on treating psoriasis. This narrative review updates information regarding the current dietary recommendations for individuals with psoriasis and discusses the role of diet and PA in psoriasis prevention and treatment. Application of nutrigenetics in psoriasis therapy is also discussed. The PubMed and Google Scholar databases were searched using the MeSH terms for "nutrigenomics", "dietetics", "diet therapy", "diet", "physical activity", and "exercise" in conjunction with the MeSH terms for "psoriasis" and "dermatology". Evidence has shown that patients with psoriasis should have a personalized anti-inflammatory diet. Psoriasis patients are less physically active; most performed exercises of low-to-moderate intensity and were less likely to undertake regular exercise. Identifying nutrigenomic discoveries and the current lifestyle interventions associated with psoriasis can help physicians and physical therapists develop educational programs to manage and protect against the disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Psoriasis is nowadays regarded as a systemic inflammatory disorder. Among the topicals, vitamin D derivates are often applied on the skin for their anti-inflammatory and immune-modulatory properties. Vitamin D serum levels in psoriasis (PsO) patients are still debated and an eventual depletion may offer the rational to integrate anti-psoriatic therapies with oral vitamin D. Then, we aimed to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis on the current evidence towards serum vitamin D level in PsO. METHODS We searched in PubMed, Scopus, Web of Sciences, ScienceDirect and Science Information Database (SID) using the terms "Vitamin D" and "Psoriasis" including manuscripts in English, Italian and Persian. Duplications were excluded using EndNote software and records were screened by title, abstract and full-text. Quality assessment of studies was assessed using Newcastle Ottawa Checklist (NOS). Psoriasis odds ratio (OR) and mean serum vitamin D levels were calculated and displayed in Forest-plots. Heterogeneity indexes were evaluated using I2 and Q. Sensitivity analysis and publication biases were also considered. RESULTS From 3006 records extracted, after removing duplicates and analyzing full texts we finally included 19 manuscripts involving a total of 1387 PsO cases and 6939 controls. PsO patients exhibited a substantial odds ratio (3.07, 95% CI: 1.56-6.04) for lower serum vitamin D levels compared to the control group. Standardized Mean Difference (SMD) of vitamin D in PsO versus controls was -0.92 (-1.33 to -0.51). CONCLUSION Psoriatic patients displayed higher risk to have a vitamin D deficiency. Interventional studies to verify the preventive value are mandatory.

Abstract
Dietary factors can regulate epigenetic processes during life, modulating the intracellular pools of metabolites necessary for epigenetic reactions and regulating the activity of epigenetic enzymes. Their effects are strong during the prenatal life, when epigenetic patterns are written, allowing organogenesis. However, interactions between diet and the epigenome continue throughout life and likely contribute to the onset and progression of various complex diseases. Here, we review the contribution of dietary factors to the epigenetic changes observed in complex diseases and suggest future steps to better address this issue, focusing on neurobehavioral, neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders, cardiovascular diseases, obesity and Type 2 diabetes, cancer and inflammatory skin diseases.

[PMID: 36297008 PMCID: PMC9608488 DOI: 10.3390/nu14204324] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/24/2022] [Revised: 10/11/2022] [Accepted: 10/13/2022] [Indexed: 11/07/2022] Open
Abstract
Western diet may trigger sleep disorders and vice versa, but their single and mutual effects on systemic inflammatory diseases (i.e., psoriasis) are far from being fully elucidated. At the same time, psoriatic patients display a great burden of sleep disorders and dysmetabolisms related to an unhealthy lifestyle (i.e., diet). These patients are also affected by a chronic disorder deeply modulated by environmental factors (i.e., sleep and diet) capable to influence drug-response and disease progression. Thus, we aimed to summarize the evidence in the literature that may highlight a potential link among psoriasis–diet–sleep in order to further promote a multidisciplinary approach to psoriatic patients in the scientific community.

Abstract
The definitive diagnosis and early treatment of many immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs) is hindered by variable and overlapping clinical manifestations. Psoriatic arthritis (PsA), which develops in ~30% of people with psoriasis, is a key example. This mixed-pattern IMID is apparent in entheseal and synovial musculoskeletal structures, but a definitive diagnosis often can only be made by clinical experts or when an extensive progressive disease state is apparent. As with other IMIDs, the detection of multimodal molecular biomarkers offers some hope for the early diagnosis of PsA and the initiation of effective management and treatment strategies. However, specific biomarkers are not yet available for PsA. The assessment of new markers by genomic and epigenomic profiling, or the analysis of blood and synovial fluid/tissue samples using proteomics, metabolomics and lipidomics, provides hope that complex molecular biomarker profiles could be developed to diagnose PsA. Importantly, the integration of these markers with high-throughput histology, imaging and standardized clinical assessment data provides an important opportunity to develop molecular profiles that could improve the diagnosis of PsA, predict its occurrence in cohorts of individuals with psoriasis, differentiate PsA from other IMIDs, and improve therapeutic responses. In this review, we consider the technologies that are currently deployed in the EU IMI2 project HIPPOCRATES to define biomarker profiles specific for PsA and discuss the advantages of combining multi-omics data to improve the outcome of PsA patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The therapeutic effects of a combination of Chinese medicines called Biyu decoction have been clinically verified, although its molecular targets in psoriasis remain unknown.
AIM To explore the molecular mechanisms of Biyu decoction for psoriasis treatment.
METHODS In this network pharmacology and molecular docking study, the Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology database was searched for Biyu decoction active ingredients. GeneCards, Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man, PharmGkb, Therapeutic Target Database, and DrugBank databases were searched for psoriasis-related genes. The genes targeted by the decoction’s active ingredient and disease genes were intersected to obtain predictive targets of the drug during psoriasis treatment. Cytoscape 3.8.0 was used to construct a drug component/ target disease network. The The functional protein association networks database and Cytoscape were used to construct a protein-protein interaction network and streamline the core network. The Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes were used for pathway enrichment analysis. Molecular docking technology was used to verify the drug component/target disease network.
RESULTS We screened 117 major active ingredients, including quercetin, kaempferol, naringenin, and acetyl-shikonin, and identified 213 gene targets, such as MAPK3, JUN, FOS, MYC, MAPK8, STAT3, and NFKBIA. Using a molecular docking analysis, the main active ingredients demonstrated good binding to the core targets. The Gene Ontology analysis showed that these ingredients were significantly associated with biological activities, such as transcription factor DNA binding, RNA polymerase II-specific DNA binding of transcription factors, and cytokine receptor binding; responses to lipopolysaccharides, molecules of bacterial origin, and oxidative stress; and were mainly distributed in membrane rafts, microdomains, and regions. The Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analysis showed that decoction ingredients act on Th17 cell differentiation, tumor necrosis factor and mitogen-activated protein signaling pathways, the interleukin-17 signaling pathway, and the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway.
CONCLUSION Biyu decoction may be effective against psoriasis through multi-component, multi-target, and multi-channel synergy.

Abstract
Precision nutrition has emerged as a boiling area of nutrition research, with a particular focus on revealing the individual variability in response to diets that is determined mainly by the complex interactions of dietary factors with the multi-tiered "omics" makeups. Reproducible findings from the observational studies and diet intervention trials have lent preliminary but consistent evidence to support the fundamental role of gene-diet interactions in determining the individual variability in health outcomes including obesity and weight loss. Recent investigations suggest that the abundance and diversity of the gut microbiome may also modify the dietary effects; however, considerable instability in the results from the microbiome research has been noted. In addition, growing studies suggest that a complicated multiomics algorithm would be developed by incorporating the genome, epigenome, metabolome, proteome, and microbiome in predicting the individual variability in response to diets. Moreover, precision nutrition would also scrutinize the role of biological (circadian) rhythm in determining the individual variability of dietary effects. The evidence gathered from precision nutrition research will be the basis for constructing precision health dietary recommendations, which hold great promise to help individuals and their health care providers create precise and effective diet plans for precision health in the future.

Abstract
The vitamin D and microRNA (miR) systems may play a role in the pathogenesis of cardiometabolic disorders, including hypertension. The HYPODD study was a double-blind placebo-controlled trial aiming to assess the effects of cholecalciferol treatment in patients with well-controlled hypertension and hypovitaminosis D (25OHD levels < 50 nmol/L). In addition to this clinical trial, we also evaluated the effects of cholecalciferol and calcitriol treatment on miR-21 expression in vivo and in vitro, respectively. Changes in the cardiovascular risk profiles were evaluated in HYPODD patients treated with cholecalciferol (C-cohort) or with placebo (P-cohort). The miR-21circulating levels were measured in four C-cohort patients and five P-cohort patients. In vitro, the miR-21 levels were measured in HEK-293 cells treated with calcitriol or with ethanol vehicle control. Cholecalciferol treatment increased 25OHD levels and reduced parathormone, total cholesterol, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels in C-cohort patients, whereas no significant changes in these parameters were observed in P-cohort patients. The miR-21 circulating levels did not change in the C- or the P-cohort patients upon treatment. Calcitriol treatment did not affect miR-21 levels in HEK-293 cells. In conclusion, hypovitaminosis D correction ameliorated the cardiovascular risk profiles in hypertensive patients treated with cholecalciferol but did not influence the miR-21 expression.

Abstract
Purpose Psoriasis is an immune-mediated chronic inflammatory disease. Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is characterized by central obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes and insulin resistance (IR). Increasing evidence indicates that psoriasis is associated with MetS. This study aimed to explore some metabolite indexes which could evaluate the severity or predict the risk of psoriasis patients associated with MetS. Patients and methods It was a case-control study conducted in Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Sixty healthy volunteers (HC), 100 patients with psoriasis (Ps), 100 patients with MetS (MetS) and 80 patients with both psoriasis and MetS (Ps+MetS) were entered between January 2016 and December 2018. Blood samples were taken after at least 12 hours fasting and the contents of trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO), carnitine, choline and betaine in serum were measured by Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Besides, the serum levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), cholesterol (CHO), triglyceride (TG), blood glucose (BG), creatinine (Cr), urea nitrogen (BUN), uric acid (UA) were determined. Results The non-healthy groups had different degrees of dyslipidemia, Ps-MetS> Ps >MetS. Compared with HC, the Ps had a higher level of TG; The MetS had the lowest level of HDL; The Ps+Mets had the highest level of TG and CHO. The Ps and Ps+MetS both had high level of UA, but there was no difference between the two groups. As for intestinal metabolites, the Ps had significant differences in TMAO, carnitine, and betaine in comparison with HC. The MetS had the highest level of TMAO. There was positive correlation between PASI and TMAO and betaine. Conclusions TMAO and betaine could serve as indexes reflecting the severity of psoriasis. TG, CHO, LDL and UA could serve as risk factors of MetS in psoriatic patients.

The Association Between Chronic Plaque Psoriasis and Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease in Indian Patients: Results of a Pilot Study. J Clin Exp Hepatol 2022; 12:785-792. [PMID: 35677516 PMCID: PMC9168695 DOI: 10.1016/j.jceh.2021.11.016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/04/2021] [Accepted: 11/26/2021] [Indexed: 01/19/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Psoriasis is a chronic dermatosis with potential to cause systemic disease by triggering dysmetabolism, such as metabolic syndrome and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). We studied the relationship and associations between NAFLD and clinical features, including age, gender, disease duration, and severity of psoriasis in our patients. Methods This cross-sectional study comprised 61 (m:f, 43:19) patients without pre-existing comorbidities and matched 24 (m:f, 16:8) healthy controls aged between 20 and 68 years. Disease severity was graded as mild, moderate, and severe by psoriasis area and severity index score and body surface area (BSA) involvement. The grades of fatty liver and liver fibrosis were assessed using liver ultrasonography (USG) and transitional vibration-controlled elastography (Fibroscan). Results Overall, 67.2% of patients were aged >40 years, and the duration of disease was <5years in 60.7% of patients. Mild and moderate to severe psoriasis occurred in 78.7% and 21.3% of patients, respectively. BSA was >10% in 57.5% patients. The proportion of NAFLD was 27.9% and 32.8% by USG and Fibroscan compared with 20.8% in controls. Statistically, there was no significant difference or association between the prevalence of NAFLD among patients and controls, and gender, age (mean ± standard deviation, 47.5 ± 13.8 vs. 45.2 ± 15.7), duration, severity of psoriasis, and arthritis between psoriatic patients with and without NAFLD. Conclusion This was a pilot study because of the numerosity of sample and highlights trends for possible link between psoriasis and NAFLD, but the results need cautious interpretation and clinical application. Whether NAFLD can be attributed to overall systemic inflammatory process of psoriasis or it occurs as an epiphenomenon of concurrent metabolic syndrome needs elucidation with well-designed studies. Cross-sectional study design, small number of patients, and controls remain major limitations. The study did not compare its findings with liver biopsy.

Dietary Acid Load Modulation of Asthma-Related miRNAs in the Exhaled Breath Condensate of Children. Nutrients 2022; 14:nu14061147. [PMID: 35334803 PMCID: PMC8949211 DOI: 10.3390/nu14061147] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/22/2022] [Revised: 02/22/2022] [Accepted: 03/04/2022] [Indexed: 01/27/2023] Open
Abstract
Individual nutrients and bioactive compounds have been implicated in the expression of microRNAs (miRNAs), which are related to inflammation and asthma. However, evidence about the impact of diet is scarce. Therefore, we aimed to assess the association between dietary acid load and asthma-related miRNA in the exhaled breath condensate (EBC) of school-aged children. This cross-sectional analysis included 150 participants aged 7 to 12 years (52% girls) from a nested case–control study, which randomly selected 186 children attending 71 classrooms from 20 public schools located in city of Porto, Portugal. Dietary data were collected by one 24 h-recall questionnaire. Dietary acid load was assessed using the potential renal acid load (PRAL) and net endogenous acid production (NEAP) scores. Based on previous studies, eleven asthma-related miRNAs were chosen and analyzed in EBC by reverse transcription-quantitative real-time PCR. PRAL, NEAP and miRNAs were categorized as high or low according to the median. Logistic regression models were performed to assess the association between dietary acid load scores and miRNAs. Children in high dietary acid load groups (PRAL ≥ 14.43 and NEAP ≥ 55.79 mEq/day) have significantly increased odds of having high miR-133a-3p levels. In conclusion, higher dietary acid loads possibly modulate asthma-related miRNAs of school-aged children.

Clin Cosmet Investig Dermatol 2022; 15:193-201. [PMID: 35173453 PMCID: PMC8841268 DOI: 10.2147/ccid.s350711] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2021] [Accepted: 01/27/2022] [Indexed: 12/18/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE Previous studies showed the link of CD14+ monocytes to inflammation and oxidation in psoriasis. In the present study, we investigated the regulatory role of miR-155 in CD14+ monocyte function in psoriasis. MATERIALS AND METHODS CD14+ monocytes were isolated from peripheral blood by magnetic bead separation method and its function was assessed following silence of miR-155 by lentivirus transfection with or without inhibition of TLR4 pathway. CCK8 and EdU were used to assess the proliferation of CD14+ monocytes. Expression levels of SOCS1, TLR4 and MyD88 proteins were determined by Western blotting, while expression levels of IL-6, TNF-α, ROS, MDA and T-AOC were measured by ELISA kit. The expression levels of mRNA for miR-155, NF-κB and its subunit NF-κB-p65 were assessed by q-PCR. RESULTS The results showed that compared with normal control CD14+ monocytes, the expression levels of miR-155, NF-κB and NF-κB-p65, TLR4, MyD88 and IL-6, TNF-α were increased, while expression levels of SOCS1 were decreased in CD14+ monocytes from psoriatic patients. Enhanced cell proliferation and oxidation were also observed in CD14+ monocytes from psoriatic patients. Inhibition of miR-155 partially corrected the abnormalities of cell proliferation and expression levels of biomarkers mentioned above in CD14+ monocytes from psoriatic patients. Inhibitions of both TLR4 pathway and miR-155 further corrected abnormalities of proliferation and the above biomarkers in CD14+ monocytes from psoriatic patients. CONCLUSION These results suggest that increased expression levels of miR-155 contribute to CD14+ monocyte-mediated inflammation and oxidation in psoriasis via TLR4 pathway.

Abstract
Since psoriasis (PsO) is a chronic inflammatory disease, patients may experience a drug failure also with very effective drugs (i.e., secukinumab) and, consequently, dermatologists have two therapeutic options: switching or perform a combination therapy (rescue therapy) to save the drug that had decreased its efficacy. At the moment no studies focused on combination/rescue therapy of secukinumab, so we performed a 52-weeks multicenter retrospective observational study that involved 40 subjects with plaque psoriasis that experienced a secondary failure and were treated with combination therapy (ciclosporin (n = 11), MTX (n = 15), NB-UVB (n = 7) and apremilast (n = 7)). After 16 weeks of rescue/combination therapy, PASI and a DLQI varied respectively from 8 [7.0-9.0] and 13 [12.0-15.0], to 3 [2.8-4.0] and 3 [2.0-3.3]), suggesting a significant improvement of daily functionality and quality of life. Results were maintained at 52 weeks. No side effects were experienced during the study. Secukinumab remains a safety and effective drug for PsO patients also in the IL-23 and JAK inhibitors era. The rescue therapy is a valid therapeutic option in case of secukinumab secondary failure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The analysis of individual microRNAs (miRNAs) as a diagnostic and prognostic tool for the effective treatment of various diseases has aroused particular interest in the scientific community. The determination of circulating miRNAs makes it possible to assess biological changes associated with nutritional processes, the intake of dietary supplements and drugs, etc. The profile of circulating miRNAs reflects the individual adaptation of the organism to the effect of specific environmental conditions. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study is to systematize the data and show the importance of circulating miRNAs as new potential biomarkers of the organism's response to the intake of various dietary supplements, drugs, and consider the possibility of their use in doping control. METHODS A systematic analysis of scientific publications (ncbi.nlm.nih.gov) on the miRNA expression profile in response to the intake of dietary supplements and drugs most often used by athletes, and supposed their role as potential markers in modern doping control was carried out. RESULTS The profile of circulating miRNAs is highly dependent on the intake of a particular drug, and, therefore, may be used as a marker of the effects of biologically active supplements and drugs including the substances from the Prohibited List of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). CONCLUSION Monitoring of circulating miRNAs can serve as a high-precision marker for detecting doping abuse in elite sports. However, it is necessary to conduct additional studies on the effect of complex drugs on the profile of circulating miRNAs and individual circulating miRNAs on a particular biological process.

Abstract
Objectives We investigated the effect and mechanism of miR-21-3p on the biological behavior of keratinocyte HaCaT cells. Methods HaCaT cells were transfected with miR-21-3p mimics and miR-21-3p inhibitor, respectively. Cell proliferation was detected by CCK-8, and apoptosis and cell cycle were analyzed by flow cytometry. The expression changes of Bax and Bcl-2 were measured with immunohistochemistry. The mRNA expressions of IL-17A and STAT3 were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR. Cytokeratin 17 protein was detected by Western blot. The relationship between miR-21-3p and STAT3 was verified by dual luciferase reporter gene assay. Results The miR-21-3p mimics significantly promoted the proliferation and cell cycle progression of HaCaT cells. However, miR-21-3p mimics significantly inhibited cell apoptosis, decreased Bax expression and increased Bcl-2 expression. Additionally, miR-21-3p mimics significantly increased the expressions of Cytokeratin 17 protein, IL-17A mRNA and STAT3 mRNA. Of note, the miR-21-3p inhibitor exhibited contrary effects to miR-21-3p mimics. Furthermore, STAT3 was a direct target of miR-21-3p. Conclusion miR-21-3p may promote the abnormal proliferation and inhibit apoptosis of HaCaT cells, possibly through regulating JAK/STAT pathway and the expression of Cytokeratin 17.

Abstract
Inflammation is a natural protective mechanism that occurs when the body's tissue homeostatic mechanisms are disrupted by biotic, physical, or chemical agents. The immune response generates pro-inflammatory mediators, but excessive output, such as chronic inflammation, contributes to many persistent diseases. Some phenolic compounds work in tandem with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) to inhibit pro-inflammatory mediators' activity or gene expression, including cyclooxygenase (COX). Various phenolic compounds can also act on transcription factors, such as nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) or nuclear factor-erythroid factor 2-related factor 2 (Nrf-2), to up-or downregulate elements within the antioxidant response pathways. Phenolic compounds can inhibit enzymes associated with the development of human diseases and have been used to treat various common human ailments, including hypertension, metabolic problems, incendiary infections, and neurodegenerative diseases. The inhibition of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) by phenolic compounds has been used to treat hypertension. The inhibition of carbohydrate hydrolyzing enzyme represents a type 2 diabetes mellitus therapy, and cholinesterase inhibition has been applied to treat Alzheimer's disease (AD). Phenolic compounds have also demonstrated anti-inflammatory properties to treat skin diseases, rheumatoid arthritis, and inflammatory bowel disease. Plant extracts and phenolic compounds exert protective effects against oxidative stress and inflammation caused by airborne particulate matter, in addition to a range of anti-inflammatory, anticancer, anti-aging, antibacterial, and antiviral activities. Dietary polyphenols have been used to prevent and treat allergy-related diseases. The chemical and biological contributions of phenolic compounds to cardiovascular disease have also been described. This review summarizes the recent progress delineating the multifunctional roles of phenolic compounds, including their anti-inflammatory properties and the molecular pathways through which they exert anti-inflammatory effects on metabolic disorders. This study also discusses current issues and potential prospects for the therapeutic application of phenolic compounds to various human diseases.

Abstract
The skin is the main external organ. It protects against different types of potentially harmful agents, such as pathogens, or physical factors, such as radiation. Skin disorders are very diverse, and some of them lack adequate and accessible treatment. The photoaging of the skin is a problem of great relevance since it is related to the development of cancer, while psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disease that causes scaly skin lesions and deterioration of the lifestyle of people affected. These diseases affect the patient's health and quality of life, so alternatives have been sought that improve the treatment for these diseases. This review focuses on describing the properties and benefits of flavonoids from propolis against these diseases. The information collected shows that the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of flavonoids play a crucial role in the control and regulation of the cellular and biochemical alterations caused by these diseases; moreover, flavones, flavonols, flavanones, flavan-3-ols, and isoflavones contained in different worldwide propolis samples are the types of flavonoids usually evaluated in both diseases. Therefore, the research carried out in the area of dermatology with bioactive compounds of different origins is of great relevance to developing preventive and therapeutic approaches.

[PMID: 34850088 DOI: 10.1093/mr/roab108] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/10/2021] [Revised: 09/25/2021] [Accepted: 11/08/2021] [Indexed: 12/29/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To explore the effect of miR-106b on synovial inflammation and damage in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients, and further to investigate its possible mechanism. METHODS : Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), immunofluorescence, in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry assay were separately used to verify the levels of miR-106b and cytokines in the synovial tissues of patients with RA or osteoarthritis (OA). Pearson correlation analysis was conducted to examine the bivariate relationship between miR-106b and cytokines or RANKL. Following the isolation and culture of fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS), the cells were transfected with lentivirus-mediated miR-106b mimic, miR-106b inhibitor, and negative control miR-106b mimic, respectively. Thereafter, cell proliferation was measured by Cell Counting Kit-8 assay, and cell invasion and migration capacity was assessed by Transwell assay. Furthermore, concentration and expression of cytokines were separately detected by Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay and Western blot. RESULTS Compared with osteoarthritis, validation by qRT-PCR showed that RA patients had a lower level of miR-106b and higher levels of receptor activator of nuclear factor-κ B ligand (RANKL), tumor necrosis factor-a (TNF-a) and interleukin-6 (IL-6). Additionally, the scatter plot showed that the relative transcription of miR-106b level was negatively correlated to the level of TNF-a, IL-6, and RNKAL in the synovial tissues of both RA and OA patients (All P<0.05). Furthermore, miR-106b overexpression suppressed cell proliferation, migration and invasion capacity of human RA-FLS. CONCLUSIONS miR-106b overexpression suppresses synovial inflammation and alleviates synovial damage, thus it may be served as a potential therapeutic target for RA patients.

Real-World Experience of Patient-Relevant Benefits and Treatment Satisfaction with Apremilast in Patients with Psoriasis: An Analysis of the APPRECIATE Study. Dermatol Ther (Heidelb) 2021; 12:81-95. [PMID: 34813044 PMCID: PMC8776914 DOI: 10.1007/s13555-021-00628-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/29/2021] [Accepted: 10/04/2021] [Indexed: 10/24/2022] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION In the real-world APPRECIATE study (NCT02740218), most patients with psoriasis demonstrated notable improvements on disease severity measures and reported clinically meaningful treatment benefits with apremilast. OBJECTIVE We aim to further describe patient-relevant needs and benefits and patient satisfaction with apremilast, including subgroup analyses based on patient characteristics. METHODS APPRECIATE, a multinational, retrospective, cross-sectional study, enrolled patients with chronic plaque psoriasis who started apremilast according to the European label. Patient Benefit Index (PBI; range 0 (no patient-relevant benefit) to 4 (maximum patient-relevant benefit), global PBI score ≥ 1 indicating minimum patient-relevant benefit and ≥ 3 indicating high benefit) and nine-item Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire for Medication (TSQM-9; range 0-100) were assessed 6 (± 1) months after apremilast initiation and summarized descriptively. Relationships between global PBI and TSQM-9 assessments were analyzed by Pearson correlations. RESULTS Of 480 enrolled patients, 347 (72.3%) had remained on apremilast at 6 (± 1) months; 90.9% (300/330) achieved global PBI score ≥ 1. Mean (standard deviation) global PBI score was 2.8 (1.2). Higher achievement of global PBI score ≥ 3 was observed in patients with no prior treatments (61.1% (22/36)) or prior phototherapy (64.6% (42/65)) versus prior conventional systemic (54.4% (100/184)) or biologic (38.6% (17/44)) treatment. Strong correlations were observed between the global PBI score and the TSQM-9 global satisfaction and effectiveness subscale scores. CONCLUSION Patients continuing apremilast for 6 (± 1) months in APPRECIATE reported patient-relevant treatment benefits. Findings suggest that receiving apremilast earlier versus later in treatment management is consistent with greater improvements in patient-relevant treatment outcomes.

Ther Adv Chronic Dis 2021; 12:20406223211046685. [PMID: 34729147 PMCID: PMC8485267 DOI: 10.1177/20406223211046685] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/03/2021] [Accepted: 08/26/2021] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Real-life data on patients with psoriasis treated with guselkumab are few and are needed to compare with trial-based data. We investigated the effect of clinical factors on real-world effectiveness of guselkumab. Methods: This multicentre study retrospectively included 135 patients with psoriasis treated with guselkumab from June 2018 until November 2020. Effectiveness was assessed using the degree of improvement in the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) scores at baseline and after 4, 12, 20, 28, and 36 weeks. Predictors of effectiveness were also evaluated. Results: At week 36, 67% of the patients achieved PASI 75. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that heavier patients were less likely to achieve PASI 75 at week 4 than patients with lower body weights. Fewer patients exposed to only one biologic achieved PASI 75 at weeks 4, 20, 28, and 36 [odds ratio (OR) = 0.08 (95% CI, 0.01–0.48), 0.21 (95% CI, 0.05–0.74), 0.04 (95% CI, 0.00–0.35), and 0.07 (95% CI, 0.00–0.68), respectively] than biologic-naïve patients. Patients previously treated with more than one biologic were less likely to achieve PASI 75 at weeks 12, 20, 28, and 36 [OR = 0.05 (95% CI, 0.01–0.22), 0.03 (95% CI, 0.01–0.16), 0.00 (95% CI, 0.00–0.03), and 0.00 (95% CI, 0.00–0.044), respectively] than biologic-naïve patients. Patients with previous anti-interleukin (IL)-17 exposure, rather than tumour necrosis factor-α and IL-12/23 inhibitors, had lower PASI improvements to guselkumab than biologic-naïve patients at weeks 12, 20, and 28 [OR = 0.19 (95% CI, 0.03–0.90), 0.10 (95% CI, 0.02–0.55), and 0.03 (95% CI, 0.00–0.29), respectively]. Conclusions: The effectiveness of guselkumab was compromised in a real-world setting. Delayed onset of therapeutic response was noted in heavier patients. Biologic exposure, the number of previously used biologics, and previous exposure to IL-17 inhibitors were clinical predictors of a reduced response to guselkumab. Physicians may share this information with patients to make treatment decisions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The demand of biologic switching is increasing for different reasons.We aimed to define reasons for switching biologics and possible predictors for switching risk,and to estimate data on drug survival. METHODS 115 patients treated with biologics who switched to a second, third,and/or fourth biologic were eligible for this retrospective study.Patients were divided into 2 groups as switched once,and switched twice or more.Drug survival rates were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method. RESULTS All patients switched at least one, 36 patients switched twice, and 9 switched thrice. First-, second-, and third-line biologics were mostly switched due to secondary lack of efficacy for skin disease.Each unit increase in age decreased the risk of having ≥2 switches 4% (p=0.038,OR:0.964,95%CI:0.93-0.998),whereas PsA increased the risk of having ≥2 switches 2.69-fold (p=0.026,OR:2.69,95%CI:1.12-6.44).There was significant difference between biologics in terms of drug survival(p=0.001).Adalimumab had a lower drug survival compared to ustekinumab(p<0.001) and secukinumab(p=0.003) in transition from second-line biologic to third-line biologic. CONCLUSION Switching biologics was most commonly due to secondary lack of efficacy for skin disease.Lower ages and the presence of PsA were associated with a higher need for switching in long-term.Ustekinumab and secukinumab are superior to adalimumab in clinical practice in terms of drug survival of second-line biologics.

Abstract
Vegans and vegetarians often consume foods containing photosensitizers capable of triggering phytophotodermatitis. The potential effect of vegan and vegetarian diets on the response of psoriatic patients undergoing phototherapy is not well characterized. We assessed clinical outcomes of vegan, vegetarian and omnivore adult psoriatic patients undergoing band ultraviolet B phototherapy (NB-UVB). In this multicenter prospective observational study, we enrolled 119 adult, psoriatic patients, of whom 40 were omnivores, 41 were vegetarians and 38 were vegans, with phototherapy indication. After determining the minimum erythemal dose (MED), we performed NB-UVB sessions for 8 weeks. The first irradiation dosage was 70.00% of the MED, then increased by 20.00% (no erythema) or by 10.00% (presence of erythema) until a maximum single dose of 3 J/cm2 was reached and constantly maintained. All the enrolled patients completed the 8 weeks of therapy. Severe erythema was present in 16 (42.11%) vegans, 7 (17.07%) vegetarians and 4 (10.00%) omnivores (p < 0.01). MED was lowest among vegans (21.18 ± 4.85 J/m2), followed by vegetarians (28.90 ± 6.66 J/m2) and omnivores (33.63 ± 4.53 J/m2, p < 0.01). Patients with severe erythema were more likely to have a high furocumarin intake (OR 5.67, 95% CI 3.74-8.61, p < 0.01). Vegans consumed the highest amount of furocumarin-rich foods. A model examining erythema, adjusted for gender, age, skin type, MED, phototherapy type, number of phototherapies and furocumarin intake, confirmed that vegans had a lower number of treatments. Vegans had more frequent severe erythema from NB-UVB, even after adjustment of the phototherapy protocol for their lower MED. Assessing diet information and adapting the protocol for vegan patients may be prudent.

Immunomodulatory effects of phytosomal curcumin on related-micro RNAs, CD200 expression and inflammatory pathways in dental pulp stem cells. Cell Biochem Funct 2021; 39:886-895. [PMID: 34235754 DOI: 10.1002/cbf.3659] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/16/2021] [Revised: 06/16/2021] [Accepted: 06/17/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
Human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) have significant potential of immunomodulatory for therapeutic and regenerative biomedical applications compared to other mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Nowadays, alteration of gene expression is an important way to improve the performance of MSCs in the clinic. MicroRNAs (miRs) and CD200 are known to modulate the immune system in MSCs. Curcumin is famous for its anti-inflammatory impacts. Phytosomal curcumin (PC) is a nanoparticle synthesized from curcumin that removes the drawbacks of curcumin. The purpose of this research was to assess the effects of PC on the expression of the CD200 and four key miRNAs in immune system. PC (30 μM) treatment of hDPSCs could ameliorate their immunoregulatory property, presented by reduced expressions of miR-21, miR-155 and miR-126, as well as enhanced expressions of miR-23 and CD200. The PC was also able to reduce PI3K\AKT1\NF-κB expressions that were target genes for these miRs and involved in inflammatory pathways. Moreover, PC was more effective than curcumin in improving the immune modulation of hDPSCs. Evidence in this study suggested that PC mediates immunoregulatory activities in hDPSC via miRs and CD200 to regulate PI3K\AKT1\NF-κB signalling pathways, which may provide a theoretical basis for PC in the treatment of many diseases. SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY: Autoimmune diseases or tooth caries are partly attributed to global health problems and their common drug treatments have several side effects. The goal of this study is dentin regeneration and autoimmune diseases treatment via stem cell-based approaches with phytosomal curcumin (PC), for the first time. Because dental pulp stem cells have unique advantages (including higher immunomodulatory capacity) over other mesenchymal stem cells, we considered them the best option for treating these diseases. Using PC, we try to increase the immunomodulatory properties of these cells.

Abstract
Nutrition plays an important role in overall human health. Although there is no direct evidence supporting the direct involvement of nutrition in curing disease, for some diseases, good nutrition contributes to disease prevention and our overall well-being, including energy level, optimum internal function, and strength of the immune system. Lately, other major, but more silent players are reported to participate in the body’s response to ingested nutrients, as they are involved in different physiological and pathological processes. Furthermore, the genetic profile of an individual is highly critical in regulating these processes and their interactions. In particular, miR-155, a non-coding microRNA, is reported to be highly correlated with such nutritional processes. In fact, miR-155 is involved in the orchestration of various biological processes such as cellular signaling, immune regulation, metabolism, nutritional responses, inflammation, and carcinogenesis. Thus, this review aims to highlight those critical aspects of the influence of dietary components on gene expression, primarily on miR-155 and its role in modulating cancer-associated processes.

Abstract
During the last decade, the advent of modern sequencing methods (next generation techniques, NGS) has helped describe the composition of the human gut microbiome, enabling us to understand the main characteristics of a healthy gut microbiome and, conversely, the magnitude of its disease-related changes. This new knowledge has revealed that healthy gut microbiota allow the maintenance of several crucial physiological functions, such as the ability to regulate the innate and adaptive immune systems. Increasing evidence has pointed out a condition of dysbiosis in several autoimmune/immune mediated dermatological conditions and specific gut microbial signatures have also been reported to correlate with clinical and prognostic parameters of such diseases. Based on a literature search of relevant published articles, this review debates the current knowledge and the possible pathogenic implications of bacterial gut microbiota composition assessed through NGS techniques in systemic lupus erythematosus, atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, and alopecia areata. Evidence of a potential role of specific gut microbiota signatures in modulating the clinical course of such diseases and their main comorbidities has been also reviewed.

Abstract
Innate immune response induces positive inflammatory transducers and regulators in order to attack pathogens, while simultaneously negative signaling regulators are transcribed to maintain innate immune homeostasis and to avoid persistent inflammatory immune responses. The gene expression of many of these regulators is controlled by different epigenetic modifications. The remarkable impact of epigenetic changes in inducing or suppressing inflammatory signaling is being increasingly recognized. Several studies have highlighted the interplay of histone modification, DNA methylation, and post-transcriptional miRNA-mediated modifications in inflammatory diseases, and inflammation-mediated tumorigenesis. Targeting these epigenetic alterations affords the opportunity of attenuating different inflammatory dysregulations. In this regard, many studies have identified the significant anti-inflammatory properties of distinct naturally-derived phytochemicals, and revealed their regulatory capacity. In the current review, we demonstrate the signaling cascade during the immune response and the epigenetic modifications that take place during inflammation. Moreover, we also provide an updated overview of phytochemicals that target these mechanisms in macrophages and other experimental models, and go on to illustrate the effects of these phytochemicals in regulating epigenetic mechanisms and attenuating aberrant inflammation.

Can intermittent, time-restricted circadian fasting modulate cutaneous severity of dermatological disorders? Insights from a multicenter, observational, prospective study. Dermatol Ther 2021; 34:e14912. [PMID: 33629451 DOI: 10.1111/dth.14912] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2020] [Revised: 02/07/2021] [Accepted: 02/19/2021] [Indexed: 12/19/2022]
Abstract
The impact of intermittent circadian fasting (ICF) on skin disorders is far to be plenty deciphered. However, the circadian rhythm seems to exert a modulation on dermatoses severity, drug-response, and drug-related side effects. We aimed to evaluate ICF effect in the daily management of dermatological diseases. In this multicenter, prospective observational study we enrolled patients willing to undergo the 2018 ICF (from May 16 to June 14). Dermatoses severity were evaluated at the beginning of ICF (T0) and at the end of ICF (T1) by two independent board-certified dermatologists. Seventy-two patients suffering from different dermatoses volunteered to take part into the study. They displayed a mean age of 40.38 ± 12.46 years (median 41.0 years), 25 subjects were males (34.7% of the entire sample). The median weight change was 0 kg. The overall ICF effect size was -0.58 ([95% CI -0.83 to -0.33], P < .0001, medium effect size). Since in the present investigation no weight loss occurred, we could speculate that the impact of fasting in terms of improvements in the clinical symptoms could be rather due to the perturbation of the human biological clock. Despite our data remain preliminary, a chronobiological approach should be incorporated in the dermatological armamentarium.

Abstract
Modern high-throughput 'omics' science tools (including genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics and microbiomics) are currently being applied to nutritional sciences to unravel the fundamental processes of health effects ascribed to particular nutrients in humans and to contribute to more precise nutritional advice. Diet and food components are key environmental factors that interact with the genome, transcriptome, proteome, metabolome and the microbiota, and this life-long interplay defines health and diseases state of the individual. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease featured by a systemic immune-inflammatory response, in genetically susceptible individuals exposed to environmental triggers, including diet. In recent years increasing evidences suggested that nutritional factors and gut microbiome have a central role in RA risk and progression. The aim of this review is to summarize the main and most recent applications of 'omics' technologies in human nutrition and in RA research, examining the possible influences of some nutrients and nutritional patterns on RA pathogenesis, following a nutrigenomics approach. The opportunities and challenges of novel 'omics technologies' in the exploration of new avenues in RA and nutritional research to prevent and manage RA will be also discussed.

Abstract
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has become the number one health problem worldwide. As of August 2020, it has affected more than 18 million humans and caused over 700,000 deaths worldwide. COVID-19 is an infectious disease that can lead to severe acute respiratory syndrome. Under certain circumstances, the viral infection leads to excessive and uncontrolled inflammatory response, which is associated with the massive release of inflammatory cytokines in pulmonary alveolar structures. This phenomenon has been referred to as the “cytokine storm,” and it is closely linked to lung injury, acute respiratory syndrome and mortality. Unfortunately, there is currently no vaccine available to prevent the infection, and no effective treatment is available to reduce the mortality associated with the severe form of the disease. The cytokine storm associate with COVID-19 shows similarities with those observed in other pathologies such as sepsis, acute respiratory distress syndrome, acute lung injury and other viral infection including severe cases of influenza. However, the specific mechanisms that cause and modulate the cytokine storm in the different conditions remain to be determined. micro-RNAs are important regulators of gene expression, including key inflammatory cytokines involved in the massive recruitment of immune cells to the lungs such as IL1β, IL6, and TNFα. In recent years, it has been shown that nutraceutical agents can modulate the expression of miRs involved in the regulation of cytokines in various inflammatory diseases. Here we review the potential role of inflammatory-regulating-miRs in the cytokine storm associated with COVID-19, and propose that nutraceutical agents may represent a supportive therapeutic approach to modulate dysregulated miRs in this condition, providing benefits in severe respiratory diseases.

Abstract
Organic selenium has antioxidation and disease treatment effects. To explore the mechanisms of how methionine selenium alleviates necroptosis in the liver and whether this process is related to microRNA (miRNA) and the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway, an animal model of methionine selenium and the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) interaction was established. The morphology, inflammatory factor (tumor necrosis factor-α [TNF-α]), necroptosis-related genes (RIP1, RIP3, MLKL, and caspase 8), MAPK pathway-related genes (JNK, ERK, and p38, p-JNK, p-ERK, and p-p38), gga-miR-155, TRAF3 (predicted target of gga-miR-155), and oxidative stress-related indicators (SOD, MDA, CAT, GSH, and GSH-Px) were analyzed from the perspective of the miR-155/TRAF3/MAPK axis to elucidate the mechanism of methionine selenium on the LPS-induced necroptosis mechanism in the chicken liver. The current results suggested that methionine selenium antagonizes oxidative stress, inflammation, and the MAPK pathway, thereby antagonizing the occurrence of necroptosis through multiple mechanisms. At the same time, methionine selenium affects miR-155/TRAF3/MAPK signaling, reduces miR-155 expression, and upregulates TRAF3 expression to inhibit necroptosis. This information provided new ideas and a theoretical basis for the practical application of methionine selenium, and it also enriched the study of miRNAs in birds and provided a reference for comparative medicine.

Abstract
The epigenome is an overall epigenetic state of an organism, which is as important as that of the genome for normal development and functioning of an individual. Epigenetics involves heritable but reversible changes in gene expression through alterations in DNA methylation, histone modifications and regulation of non-coding RNAs in cells, without any change in the DNA sequence. Epigenetic changes are owned by various environmental factors including pollution, microbiota and diet, which have profound effects on epigenetic modifiers. The bioactive compounds present in the diet mainly include curcumin, resveratrol, catechins, quercetin, genistein, sulforaphane, epigallocatechin-3-gallate, alkaloids, vitamins, and peptides. Bioactive compounds released during fermentation by the action of microbes also have a significant effect on the host epigenome. Besides, recent studies have explored the new insights in vitamin's functions through epigenetic regulation. These bioactive compounds exert synergistic, preventive and therapeutic effects when combined as well as when used with chemotherapeutic agents. Therefore, these compounds have potential of therapeutic agents that could be used as "Epidrug" to treat many inflammatory diseases and various cancers where chemotherapy results have many side effects. In this review, the effect of diet derived bioactive compounds through epigenetic modulations on in vitro and in vivo models is discussed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disease which affects the body far beyond the skin. Whereas there is solid evidence that chronic skin inflammation in psoriasis drives cardiovascular disease, the impact on renal impairment and acute kidney injury (AKI) is still unclear. We aimed to analyze the impact of psoriasis on the in-hospital outcome of patients hospitalized with AKI. METHODS In this retrospective database study, we investigated data on characteristics, comorbidities, and in-hospital outcomes for all hospitalized patients with AKI stratified for concomitant psoriasis, which were collected by the Federal Office of Statistics in Germany between 2005 and 2016. RESULTS Among the 3,162,449 patients treated for AKI in German hospitals between 2005 and 2016, 11,985 patients (0.4%) additionally suffered from psoriasis. While the annual number of AKI patients with psoriasis increased significantly from 485 cases (4.0%) in 2005 to 1902 (15.9%) in 2016 (p < 0.001), the in-hospital mortality decreased substantially (from 24.9% in 2005 to 17.4% in 2016; p < 0.001). AKI patients with concomitant psoriasis were younger (70 (IQR; 60-78) vs. 76 (67-83) years; p < 0.001) and were more often treated with dialysis (16.3% vs. 13.6%, p < 0.001). Presence of psoriasis in AKI patients was associated with reduced prevalence of myocardial infarction (OR 0.62; p < 0.001), stroke (OR 0.85; p = 0.013), and in-hospital mortality (OR 0.75; p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS AKI patients with psoriasis were hospitalized in median 6 years earlier than those without. Despite younger age, we detected higher use of kidney replacement therapy in patients with psoriasis, indicating a more severe course of AKI. Our findings might improve management of these patients and contribute evidence for extracutaneous, systemic manifestations of psoriasis.

Abstract
Psoriasis is a systemic disease that is strictly connected with metabolic disorders (insulin resistance, atherogenic dyslipidemia, arterial hypertension, and cardiovascular diseases). It occurs more often in patients with a more severe course of the disease. Obesity is specially an independent risk factor and it is associated with a worse treatment outcome because of the high inflammatory activity of visceral fatty tissue and the production of inflammatory mediators involved in the development of both psoriasis and metabolic disorders. However, in psoriasis the activation of the Th17/IL-17 and the abnormalities in the Th17/Treg balance axis are observed, but this pathomechanism does not fully explain the frequent occurrence of metabolic disorders. Therefore, there is a need to look for better biomarkers in the diagnosis, prognosis and monitoring of concomitant disorders and therapeutic effects in psoriasis. In addition, the education on the use of a proper diet as a prophylaxis for the development of the above disorders is an important element of holistic care for a patient with psoriasis. Diet may affect gene expression due to epigenetic modification which encompasses interactions of environment, nutrition and diseases. Patients with psoriasis should be advised to adopt proper diet and dietician support.

microRNAs (miRNAs) are conserved non-coding small nucleotide molecules found in nearly all species and breastmilk. miRNAs present in breastmilk are very stable to freeze-thaw, RNase treatment, and low pH as they are protected inside exosomes. They are involved in regulating several physiologic and pathologic processes, including immunologic pathways, and we have demonstrated better immune response to vaccines in piglets fed with human milk (HM) in comparison to dairy-based formula (MF). To understand if neonatal diet impacts circulatory miRNA expression, serum miRNA expression was evaluated in piglets fed HM or MF while on their neonatal diet at postnatal day (PND) 21 and post-weaning to solid diet at PND 35 and 51. MF fed piglets showed increased expression of 14 miRNAs and decreased expression of 10 miRNAs, relative to HM fed piglets at PND 21. At PND 35, 9 miRNAs were downregulated in the MF compared to the HM group. At PND 51, 10 miRNAs were decreased and 17 were increased in the MF relative to HM suggesting the persistent effect of neonatal diet. miR-148 and miR-181 were decreased in MF compared to HM at PND 21. Let-7 was decreased at PND 35 while miR-199a and miR-199b were increased at PND 51 in MF compared to HM. Pathway analysis suggested that many of the miRNAs are involved in immune function. In conclusion, we observed differential expression of blood miRNAs at both PND 21 and PND 51. miRNA found in breastmilk were decreased in the serum of the MF group, suggesting that diet impacts circulating miRNA profiles at PND 21. The miRNAs continue to be altered at PND 51 suggesting a persistent effect of the neonatal diet. The sources of miRNAs in circulation need to be evaluated, as the piglets were fed the same solid diet leading up to PND 51 collections. In conclusion, the HM diet appears to have an immediate and persistent effect on the miRNA profile and likely regulates the pathways that impact the immune system and pose benefits to breastfed infants.

Abstract
Psoriasis is a common, chronic, hyperproliferative, inflammatory skin disease occurring in most ethnic groups in the world. The disease is hereditary but the process of its inheritance is complex and still not fully understood. At the same time, it has been observed that psoriatic lesions may be triggered by certain prooxidative external factors: using narcotics, smoking, drinking alcohol, physical and mental stress, as well as bacterial infections and injury. Since the main physiological marker of psoriasis relates to disorders in the organism's antioxidative system, it is necessary to develop a well-balanced combination of pharmaceuticals and dietary antioxidants to facilitate the effective treatment and/or prevention of the disease. The dietary sources of antioxidants must be adequate for chronic use regardless of the patient's age and be easily available, e.g., as ingredients of regular food or dietary supplements. Diet manipulation is a promising therapeutic approach in the context of modulating the incidence of chronic diseases. Another potentially viable method entails the use of nutrigenomics, which guarantees a multiaspectual approach to the problem, including, in particular, analyses of the genetic profiles of psoriasis patients with the view to more accurately targeting key problems. The present paper pertains to the significance of redox equilibrium in the context of psoriasis. Based on information published in worldwide literature over the last decade, the impact of dietary exogenous antioxidants on the course of this chronic disease was analysed.

Abstract
The Mediterranean Diet (MD), UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, has become a scientific topic of high interest due to its health benefits. The aim of this review is to pick up selected studies that report nutrigenomic or nutrigenetic data and recapitulate some of the biochemical/genomic/genetic aspects involved in the positive health effects of the MD. These include (i) the antioxidative potential of its constituents with protective effects against several diseases; (ii) the epigenetic and epigenomic effects exerted by food components, such as Indacaxanthin, Sulforaphane, and 3-Hydroxytyrosol among others, and their involvement in the modulation of miRNA expression; (iii) the existence of predisposing or protective human genotypes due to allelic diversities and the impact of the MD on disease risk. A part of the review is dedicated to the nutrigenomic effects of the main cooking methods used in the MD and also to a comparative analysis of the nutrigenomic properties of the MD and other diet regimens and non-MD-related aliments. Taking all the data into account, the traditional MD emerges as a diet with a high antioxidant and nutrigenomic modulation power, which is an example of the “Environment-Livings-Environment” relationship and an excellent patchwork of interconnected biological actions working toward human health.

Abstract
It has been thought that caloric restriction favors longevity and healthy aging where autophagy plays a vital role. However, autophagy decreases during aging and that can lead to the development of aging-associated diseases such as cancer, diabetes, neurodegeneration, etc. It was shown that autophagy can be induced by mechanical or chemical stress. In this regard, various pharmacological compounds were proposed, including natural polyphenols. Apart from the ability to induce autophagy, polyphenols, such as resveratrol, are capable of modulating the expression of pro- and anti-apoptotic factors, neutralizing free radical species, affecting mitochondrial functions, chelating redox-active transition metal ions, and preventing protein aggregation. Moreover, polyphenols have advantages compared to chemical inducers of autophagy due to their intrinsic natural bio-compatibility and safety. In this context, polyphenols can be considered as a potential therapeutic tool for healthy aging either as a part of a diet or as separate compounds (supplements). This review discusses the epigenetic aspect and the underlying molecular mechanism of polyphenols as an anti-aging remedy. In addition, the recent advances of studies on NAD-dependent deacetylase sirtuin-1 (SIRT1) regulation of autophagy, the role of senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) in cells senescence and their regulation by polyphenols have been highlighted as well. Apart from that, the review also revised the latest information on how polyphenols can help to improve mitochondrial function and modulate apoptosis (programmed cell death).

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The empirical dietary inflammatory pattern (EDIP) assesses the inflammatory potential of diet in the US population. The aim of this study was to assess the applicability of the EDIP to a Brazilian population. METHODS Data from 19- to 75-y-old participants of two editions of the cross-sectional population-based Health Survey of Sao Paulo (HS-SP) were used to validate the EDIP (n = 269; HS-SP 2008), develop an EDIP adapted to a Sao Paulo population, the EDIP-SP (n = 441; HS-SP 2008), and replicate EDIP-SP results in an independent sample (n = 501; HS-SP 2015). Dietary data was assessed through two 24-h recalls and one validated food frequency questionnaire. Plasma C-reactive protein (CRP), and nine other inflammatory biomarkers were determined. EDIP was tested for its association with the 10 inflammatory biomarkers. For development of the EDIP-SP, 21 food groups and their contributions to plasma CRP levels were modeled using a stepwise multiple linear regression adjusted for age and sex. RESULTS The EDIP was not associated with concentrations of inflammatory biomarkers in a Brazilian population. The components of EDIP-SP were processed meats (β = 0.27; P = 0.082), fruits and vegetables (β = -0.12; P = 0.018), and rice and beans (β = -0.27; P = 0.007). EDIP-SP significantly predicted dietary quality (β = -6.1; P < 0.001) and its inflammatory potential was replicated among men (β = 0.36; P = 0.01), but not among women (β = 0.05; P = 0.82). CONCLUSION EDIP was adapted to the Sao Paulo population. EDIP-SP, composed of high processed meat intake and low intake of fruits and vegetables, and rice and beans, constitutes an important tool to investigate dietary quality based on its inflammatory potential, in Brazilian populations.

Abstract
The intestinal tract (i.e., the gut), is where the body’s nutrients are absorbed, and is simultaneously inhabited by numerous microbes. An increasing body of literature suggests a crucial role for the gut microbiome in modulating systemic inflammatory disease. Psoriasis is a chronic systemic inflammatory disease and its pathogenesis is related to the interaction between genetic susceptibility, immune response and environmental triggers. The omics era has allowed physicians to assess different aspects of psoriasis pathogenesis such as the microbiome, infectome, and autoinfectome. Furthermore, diet appears to play an important role in modulating disease activity, perhaps by influencing gut microbes. Given these observations, we aimed to summarize the current knowledge regarding skin-microbiome-gut-nutrients and psoriasis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES A very low-calorie ketogenic diet (VLCKD) has been associated with a significant reduction in visceral adipose tissue and ketone bodies that likely possess antiinflammatory properties. We evaluated the efficacy of an aggressive weight-loss (WL) program with a ketogenic induction phase as first-line treatment for chronic plaque psoriasis. METHODS Adult patients who were overweight or obese and drug-naïve (i.e., never treated, excluding the use of topical emollients; n = 37; 30% men; age: 43.1 ± 13.8 y) with stable chronic plaque psoriasis underwent a 10-wk, 2-phase WL program consisting of a 4-wk protein-sparing, VLCKD (<500 kcal/d; 1.2 g of protein/kg of ideal body weight/d) and 6-wk balanced, hypocaloric (25-30 kcal/kg of ideal body weight/d), Mediterranean-like diet. The primary endpoint was the reduction in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) score at wk 10. Major secondary endpoints included PASI score responses of ≥50% and ≥75%, reduction in body surface area involved, improvement in itch severity (visual analogue scale), and Dermatology Life Quality Index score at wk 10. RESULTS With a mean body weight reduction of 12.0% (-10.6 kg), the dietary intervention resulted in a significant reduction in PASI (baseline score: 13.8 ± 6.9; range, 7-32), with a mean change of -10.6 (95% confidence interval, -12.8 to -8.4; P < 0.001). PASI score responses of ≥50% and ≥75% were recorded in 36 patients (97.3%) and 24 patients (64.9%), respectively. Treatment also resulted in a significant reduction (P < 0.001) in the body surface area involved (-17.4%) and an improvement in itch severity (-33.2 points) and Dermatology Life Quality Index score (-13.4 points). CONCLUSIONS In drug-naïve adult overweight patients with stable chronic plaque psoriasis, an aggressive dietary WL program consisting of a VLCKD, followed by a balanced, hypocaloric, Mediterranean-like diet, appeared to be an effective first-line strategy to reduce disease severity.

Differences in Osteoimmunological Biomarkers Predictive of Psoriatic Arthritis among a Large Italian Cohort of Psoriatic Patients. Int J Mol Sci 2019; 20:ijms20225617.

Abstract
(1) Background: In literature it is reported that 20–30% of psoriatic patients evolve to psoriatic arthritis over time. Currently, no specific biochemical markers can either predict progression to psoriatic arthritis or response to therapies. This study aimed to identify osteoimmunological markers applicable to clinical practice, giving a quantitative tool for evaluating pathological status and, eventually, to provide prognostic support in diagnosis. (2) Methods: Soluble (serum) bone and cartilage markers were quantified in 50 patients with only psoriasis, 50 psoriatic patients with psoriatic arthritis, and 20 healthy controls by means of multiplex and enzyme-linked immunoassays. (3) Results: Differences in the concentrations of matrix metalloproteases (MMPs), tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs), receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B- ligand (RANK-L), procollagen type I N propeptide (PINP), C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen (CTx-I), dickkopf-related protein 1 (DKK1), and sclerostin (SOST) distinguished healthy controls from psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis patients. We found that MMP2, MMP12, MMP13, TIMP2, and TIMP4 distinguished psoriasis from psoriatic arthritis patients undergoing a systemic treatment, with a good diagnostic accuracy (Area under the ROC Curve (AUC) > 0.7). Then, chitinase-3-like protein 1 (CHI3L1) and MMP10 distinguished psoriasis from psoriatic arthritis not undergoing systemic therapy and, in the presence of onychopathy, MMP8 levels were higher in psoriasis than in psoriatic arthritis. However, in these latter cases, the diagnostic accuracy of the identified biomarkers was low (0.5 < AUC < 0.7). (4) Conclusions. By highlighting never exploited differences, the wide osteoimmunological biomarkers panel provides a novel clue to the development of diagnostic paths in psoriasis and psoriasis-associated arthropathic disease.
