Kiełbowski K, Bakinowska E, Bratborska AW, Pawlik A. The role of adipokines in the pathogenesis of psoriasis - a focus on resistin, omentin-1 and vaspin. Expert Opin Ther Targets 2024:1-14. [PMID: 38965991 DOI: 10.1080/14728222.2024.2375373] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/15/2024] [Accepted: 06/28/2024] [Indexed: 07/06/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Psoriasis is a chronic immune-mediated skin condition with several types of manifestation, including psoriatic arthritis. In recent years, studies have demonstrated multiple molecules and mechanisms that play important roles in the pathophysiology of psoriasis. Studies have been conducted to determine the role of adipokines, bioactive peptides secreted by the adipose tissue, in the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases. These studies have shown that adipokines are dysregulated in psoriasis and their abnormal expression profile could contribute to the inflammatory mechanisms observed in psoriasis. AREAS COVERED In this review, we discuss the immunomodulatory features of resistin, omentin-1, and vaspin, and discuss their potential involvement in the pathogenesis of psoriasis. EXPERT OPINION The adipokines resistin, omentin, and vaspin appear to be promising therapeutic targets in psoriasis. It is important to seek to block the action of resistin, either by blocking its receptors or by blocking its systemic effects with antibodies. In the case of omentin and vaspin, substances that are receptor mimetics of these adipokines should be sought and studies conducted of their analogues for the treatment of psoriasis. To introduce these therapies into clinical practice, multicentre clinical trials are required to confirm their efficacy and safety after initial studies in animal models.

Abstract
Psoriasis is a chronic systemic disease with an immunological basis and a complex pathophysiology. The chronic inflammatory status of psoriasis is associated with several comorbidities, such as metabolic syndrome, obesity, and cardiovascular disease. The development of psoriasis is influenced by osteopontin, a glycoprotein that influences physiological and pathological reactions by modulating Th1 and Th17 cellular responses, stimulating keratinocyte proliferation, regulating cellular apoptosis, and promoting angiogenesis. The recent identification of immune pathways involved in psoriasis development has facilitated the development of biological treatments; however, a better understanding of the intricate relationship between underlying inflammatory processes, psoriasis development, and accompanying comorbidities is needed for improved disease management.

Sci Rep 2023; 13:21424. [PMID: 38052851 PMCID: PMC10698038 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-48565-9] [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: 06/13/2023] [Accepted: 11/28/2023] [Indexed: 12/07/2023] Open
Abstract
We investigated the whole blood GLUT1 mRNA expression and serum pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF), interleukin-6 (IL-6), fetuin-A, and pentraxin-3 (PTX3) levels in psoriatic patients and tested their correlations with the severity of psoriasis using the psoriasis area and severity index (PASI) score. Also, we tested the GLUT1 mRNA expression after an in vitro treatment of human skin fibroblast (HSF) cell lines with PEDF. The case-control part of the study recruited 74 participants (44 psoriatic patients and 30 healthy volunteers). Whole blood GLUT1 mRNA fold changes were estimated by RT-PCR, and serum PEDF, IL-6, fetuin-A, and PTX3 levels were measured by ELISA kits. In the experimental part, the HSF cell lines were treated with different concentrations of PEDF for different times to test its effect on the GLUT1 mRNA expression. The whole blood GLUT 1 expression significantly increased in psoriatic patients and correlated positively with serum IL-6, fetuin-A, PTX3 levels and with the severity of psoriasis while negatively with serum PEDF levels. The PEDF-treated HSF cell lines showed a time- and dose-dependent decline in the GLUT 1 mRNA expression. The whole blood GLUT 1 mRNA is a non-invasive biomarker that is associated with the severity of psoriasis. PEDF represses GLUT 1 expression and may be a potential therapeutic agent in psoriasis.Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT04242082.

Abstract
Introduction Psoriasis (PSO) is a chronic skin condition that affects a variety of disorders, especially the cardiovascular system. This study investigated the association between PSO and peripheral arterial disease (PAOD). Methods A retrospective cohort study design was carried out between 2000 and 2018. The exposure subject was a newly diagnosed PSO. The diagnosis of PSO was never elaborated as a comparison subject. Balanced heterogeneity of the two groups was used by propensity score matching. The cumulative incidence of PAOD between the two groups was performed using Kaplan-Meier analysis. The Cox proportional hazard model was used to measure the risk of PAOD risk hazard ratio. Results After matching the 1: 1 propensity score, 15,696 subjects with PSO and the same number of subjects without the diagnosis of PSO were recruited. The PSO subject had a higher risk of PAOD than the non-PSO subject (adjusted HR = 1.25; 95% CI = 1.03-1.50). In the 40-64-year-old subgroup, the subject of PSO exhibited an increased risk of PAOD than the subject without PSO. Conclusion Psoriasis is associated with an increased risk of peripheral arterial disease and curative care is necessary to reduce the risk of PAOD..

Abstract
Accumulating evidence considers psoriasis a systemic inflammatory disorder that is associated with comorbidities such as psoriatic arthritis, cardiovascular disease, and metabolic syndrome. Although the precise pathogenetic links between psoriasis and atherosclerosis warrants further investigation, it is believed that chronic systemic inflammation along with the T helper (Th)-1 and Th17 polarization are associated with endothelial dysfunction and subsequent acceleration of atherosclerosis. Considering the above, several studies have evaluated if optimal control of the inflammation in psoriasis by inhibiting interleukins targeting the Interleukin (IL)-23/Th17 axis could subsequently reduce the atherosclerotic process during anti-psoriatic treatment by using a variety of surrogate markers of subclinical atherosclerosis. This systematic review summarizes current knowledge on the pathogenetic mechanisms and diagnostic evaluation of atherosclerosis in the context of psoriasis and provides a systematic review of the literature on the impact of treatment with biologics targeting the IL-23/Th17 axis on subclinical atherosclerosis in patients with plaque psoriasis and/or psoriatic arthritis.

Abstract
Fetuin-A is a heterodimeric plasma glycoprotein containing an A-chain of 282 amino acids and a B-chain of 27 amino acid residues linked by a single inter-disulfide bond. It is predominantly expressed in embryonic cells and adult hepatocytes, and to a lesser extent in adipocytes and monocytes. Fetuin-A binds with a plethora of receptors and exhibits multifaceted physiological and pathological functions. It is involved in the regulation of calcium metabolism, osteogenesis, and the insulin signaling pathway. It also acts as an ectopic calcification inhibitor, protease inhibitor, inflammatory mediator, anti-inflammatory partner, atherogenic factor, and adipogenic factor, among other several moonlighting functions. Fetuin-A has also been demonstrated to play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of several disorders. This review mainly focuses on the structure, synthesis, and biological roles of fetuin-A. Information was gathered manually from various journals via electronic searches using PubMed, Google Scholar, HINARI, and Cochrane Library from inception to 2022. Studies written in English and cohort, case-control, cross-sectional, or experimental studies were considered in the review, otherwise excluded.

Abstract
Fetuin-A is a plasma glycoprotein exhibiting multifaceted physiological and pathological functions. It has been determined to be involved in various essential biological functions, such as regulation of calcium metabolism, osteogenesis, and insulin signaling pathway. It also plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of several disorders, including psoriasis. Psoriasis is a chronic systemic inflammatory disorder caused by a constellation of environmental, immunogenic, and genetic factors. It has been shown that dysregulation of cytokines mediated immune response is responsible for the development of psoriasis. Several recent publications suggest that dysregulation of fetuin-A correlates with psoriasis disease activities, revealing its putative role in the development of psoriasis. Furthermore, clinical application of fetuin-A as a diagnostic marker, prognostic predictor, and therapeutic target for different clinical conditions is in progress, and some are showing promising outcomes. This review primarily focuses on the current understanding of the role of fetuin-A in the pathogenesis of psoriasis and its potential clinical applications, with a brief highlight of psoriasis epidemiology and burden. The information was gathered systematically from various journals via electronic searches using various search engines: PubMed, Google Scholar, HINARI, and Cochrane Library from inception to 2022. The studies involved were restricted to English language. Conversely, articles written in other languages, studies done on fetuin B, or studies conducted on other dermatological diseases were excluded from the review article.
