Psoriasis is a chronic inflammation-associated skin disorder featured by excessive proliferation and abnormal differentiation of keratinocytes. Here, we intended to investigate the role of circular RNA 0061012 (circ_0061012) in psoriasis progression. The expression of circ_0061012, SLMO2-ATP5E readthrough (SLMO2-ATP5E) messenger RNA (mRNA), microRNA-194-5p (miR-194-5p) and GRB2 associated binding protein 1 (GAB1) mRNA was determined by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Cell proliferation and metastasis were analyzed by 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay and transwell assays. Western blot assay was used to measure the protein levels of Ki67, matrix metallopeptidase 9 (MMP9) and GAB1. Dual-luciferase reporter assay and RNA immune co-precipitation (RIP) assay were used to verify the interaction between miR-194-5p and circ_0061012 or GAB1. Circ_0061012 abundance was significantly enhanced in lesional skin samples from psoriasis patients than that in normal skin specimens from healthy volunteers. Interleukin-22 (IL-22) treatment increased the expression of circ_0061012 in a dose-dependent manner. Circ_0061012 silencing alleviated IL-22-induced promoting effects in the proliferation, migration and invasion of HaCaT cells. Circ_0061012 interacted with miR-194-5p, and miR-194-5p knockdown counteracted circ_0061012 silencing-mediated influences in IL-22-induced HaCaT cells. GAB1 was a target of miR-194-5p in HaCaT cells, and miR-194-5p hampered proliferation and metastasis which were induced by IL-22 partly through targeting GAB1. Circ_0061012 elevated the expression of GAB1 through sponging miR-194-5p in HaCaT cells. Circ_0061012 accelerated IL-22-induced proliferation and metastasis in HaCaT cells through enhancing GAB1 expression via sponging miR-194-5p in psoriasis.

Objective: To detect the expression level of microRNA-155 (miR-155) and to determine the relationship with the imbalance of T-helper 17 cell/regulatory T cell (Th17/Treg) in the patients with cutaneous lichen planus (CLP).Methods: The expression of miR-155, retinoid-acid receptor-related orphan receptor gamma (RORγt), interleukin-17A (IL-17A), forkhead box P3 (Foxp3) and IL-10 in peripheral blood of 33 patients with CLP and 25 normal controls were detected by TaqMan probe.Results: Compared with the normal controls, the expression levels of miR-155, RORγt, Foxp3 and IL-17A were higher and the level of IL-10 expression was lower in the CLP patients with CLP (P<0.05).The level of miR-155 expression was positively correlated with the expression levels of of RORγt, Foxp3 and IL-17A in the patients with CLP (Ps<0.001).There was no correlation between the expression level of miR-155 and IL-10.Conclusion: The miR-155-upregulation existed in the CLP patients may be associated with the imbalance of Th17/Treg.
药源性血小板减少症( drug induced thrombocytopenia,DITP)是由某些药物引起周围血液中血小板计数减少而导致的出血性疾病. 当药物所致血小板计数<100×109 个/L时可诊断为血小板减少症,重症可致血小板计数<5. 0×109个/L.DITP常见临床表现为自发性皮肤和黏膜出血,以四肢为多,常伴鼻出血或齿龈出血,出血严重者可致贫血;颅内出血少见,一旦发生,预后不良,是导致死亡的主要原因. 我们调查了 2015 年 1—12月本院使用万古霉素治疗的儿童住院患者213例,年龄0 ~14 岁,男性133 例,女性80例,男女比例为33 : 20. 观察其使用万古霉素前最近一次、使用万古霉素期间及停药后1~3d血小板计数,其中治疗后出现 DITP 的患者有 13 例, DITP 发生率为 6. 10% ( 13/213 ). 对213例患者用药前、后和48例同龄健康儿童的血小板计数进行了统计学分析, 13例DITP患者用药后血小板计数明显下降(t=4. 528,P=0.001),200 例非DITP患者用药后血小板计数无明显变化(t=0. 074,P=0. 941),结果见表1.13例患者万古霉素停药后,血小板计数均恢复到治疗前水平.
Objective Toexplore the expression and significance of microRNA-155 (miR-155) in psoriasis vulgaris. Methods Areal-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) method with TaqMan probe technology was performed to detect miR-155 expression in skin lesion area and nonskinlesionalarea of 35 patients with psoriasis vulgaris , compared with that of 30 normal controls. The correlations among miR-155 expression, psoriasis area and severity index (PASI) score and Interleukin-17A(IL-17A)expression were studied. Results The expressions of miR-155 and IL-17A in lesional and non-lesionalgroups were higher than that of control group (all P < 0.01). Also expressions in lesional skin were higher than non-lesional skin (both P < 0.01). In skin lesion group, significant positive correlations existed betweenmiR-155 or IL-17A expression and PASI score as well as miR-155 and IL-17A expression (all P < 0.05). Conclusions Up-expression of miR-155 was relevant to psoriasis development , which is related withthe hyperfunctionof Th17 cells in psoriasis.
Transforming growth factor (TGF)-β signaling plays an important role in the pathogenesis of psoriasis. CD109, a novel TGF-β co-receptor, which inhibits TGF-β signaling by enhancing Smad7-dependent degradation of TGF-β type I receptor (TGF-β RI), is abnormally expreβsed in psoriasis. To date, the expreβsion of Smad7 and the correlation between CD109 and Smad7 expreβsion in psoriasis have not been fully elucidated. This study was designed to investigate the expreβsion and the correlation of CD109 and TGF-β signaling aβsociated proteins in psoriasis and their roles in the pathogenesis of psoriasis. Thirty-two psoriasis specimens were subjected to immunohistochemical staining for CD109, Smad7, TGF-β RI and Ki67. Ten normal skin (NS) specimens served as controls. The positive expression rate (% positive cells) of Smad7 and Ki67 in psoriasis was significantly higher than in NS (62.6%±19.9% vs. 17.2%±4.4%, and 50.7%±14.3% vs. 19.5%±3.2%, respectively, P<0.001), and the expression levels of CD109 and TGF-β R? were reduced significantly in psoriasis as compared with NS (8.1%±6.7% vs. 35.8%±6.7% and 27.3%±3.4% vs. 3.0%±3.4%, respectively, P<0.001). There were significantly negative correlations between CD109 and Smad7 (r=-0.831, P<0.01). These findings indicated that CD109 might play a certain role in the pathogenesis of psoriasis. Lower expression of CD109 and TGF-β RI was highly correlated with higher expression of Smad7 and Ki67, suggesting that CD109 may induce the pathogenesis of psoriasis through Smad7-mediated degradation of TGF-β RI, and lead to the termination of TGF-β signaling.
Objective To explore the expression alteration and significance of inteleukin (IL)-37 in pso-riasis valguris (PV) patients. Methods Patients with PV had been treated with oral acitretin for 8 weeks. PASI score, ELISA and qRT-PCR were used to exam the data of 38 patients (PV group) and 32 controls (control group). Results IL-37 in PV group was significantly higher than that in control group (P < 0.001) and IL-37 changed slightly after 4 weeks of treatment(P > 0.05) but decreased obviously after 8 weeks(P < 0.001). Signif-icant correlations existed among PASI scores, IL-37, IFN-γ and IL-17, as well as among IL-37 and IFN-γ, IL-17 (P < 0.05). Conclusions The increase of IL-37 is relevant to PV development and is associated with pa-tients’ conditions, IFN-γ and IL-17 but the alteration of IL-37 is not related with IL-4.

The deubiquitinating enzyme ubiquitin specific peptidase 15 (USP15) is regarded as a regulator of TGFβ signaling pathway. This process depends on Smad7, the inhibitory factor of the TGFβ signal, and type I TGFβ receptor (TβR-I), one of the receptors of TGFβ. The expression level of USP15 seems to play vital roles in the pathogenesis of many neoplasms, but so far there has been no report about USP15 in psoriasis. In this study, immunohistochemical staining of USP15, TβR-I and Smad7 was performed in 30 paraffin-embedded psoriasis specimens and 10 normal specimens to investigate the expression of USP15, TβR-I and Smad7 in psoriasis and to explore the relevance among them. And USP15 small interfering RNA (USP15 siRNA) was used to transfect Hacat cells to detect the mRNA expression of TβR-I and Smad7. Of 30 cases of psoriasis in active stage, 28, 24 and 26 cases were positive for USP15, TβR-I and Smad7 staining, respectively. The positive rates of USP15 and Smad7 were significantly higher in psoriasis specimens than in normal skin specimens (44.1%±26.0% vs. 6.1%±6.6%, 47.2%±27.1% vs. 6.6%±7.1%), and positive rate of TβR-I (20.3%±22.2%) in psoriasis was lower than that in normal skin specimens (46.7%±18.2%). There was a significant positive correlation between USP15 and Smad7 expression, and significant negative correlations between USP15 and TβR-expression, an I d between TβR- and Smad7 expression I in psoriasis. After transfection of USP15 siRNA in Hacat cells, the expression of TβR-mRNA was up I -regulated and that of Smad7 was down-regulated. It is concluded that USP15 may play a role in the pathogenesis of psoriasis through regulating the TβR-I/Smad7 pathway and there may be other cell signaling pathways interacting with USP15 to take part in the development of psoriasis.
Objective To discuss the expressions and clinical significance of p53 and p33ING1b in human psoriasis and basal cell carcinoma (BCC). Methods Immunohistochemistry EnVision technique was used to detect the expressions of p53 and p33ING1b in samples of 36 psoriasis vulgaris, 28 BCC and 14 normal skins. Results The expression of p53 increased while p33ING1b had a degressive expression in the control group, the psoriasis group and the BCC group. It was found significant statistical difference between the two groups (all P < 0.05). Prominent positive correlation between p53 and p33ING1b were found in both psoriasis group and BCC group (all P<0.05). Conclusions p53 coacts with p33ING1b at local lesions of abnormal proliferative diseases . It′s one of the most prominent mechanisms contributing to deviant cell proliferation.
As one of the most serious types of psoriasis, pathogenesis of erythrodermic psoriasis (EP) is unclear so far. In this study, we aimed to detect the levels of Th1/Th2 cytokine-associated transcription factors and T-lymphocyte clone in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) derived from EP patients, and gene expression level of T-bet/GATA-3 in skin lesion. The potential role of Th1/Th2 reaction pattern played in the pathogenesis of EP was also discussed. Serum levels of IFN-γ, IL-2, IL-4 and IL-10 were quantified by ELISA among 16 EP patients, 20 psoriasis vulgaris (PV) patients and 15 healthy controls. The expression levels of T-bet/GATA-3 in the skin lesion and PBMCs were examined by real-time qPCR. The ratio of Th1/Th2 was measured by flow cytometry. The levels of IFN-γ, IL-2, IL-4 and IL-10 were higher in EP patients than in the healthy controls. The levels of IL-4 and IL-10 were 69.44±11.45 and 12.62±4.57 pg/mL, respectively, in EP patients, significantly higher than those in PV patients and healthy controls (P<0.05). Flow cytometry revealed the levels of both Th1 and Th2 in PBMCs from EP patients were higher than those in healthy controls, and the Th1/Th2 ratio was dramatically lower than in PV patients (P<0.01). The ratios of IFN-γ/IL-4 and T-bet/GATA-3 in EP patients were both less than 1.0, suggesting a reversal when compared with the other two groups. Our study indicated that the EP patients exerted a Th1/Th2 bidirectional response pattern, and the balance of Th cell subsets inclines to Th2, which might be one of the important mechanisms of EP pathogenesis.
Objective:To detect the expression of IL-36, p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase ( p-p38) pathway and Th17 cytokine in lichen planus. Methods:Immunohistochemistry EnVision technique was used to detect the expression of IL-36γ, p-p38 and IL-17A in 58 patients with lichen planus and 19 controls. Re-sults:The expression of IL-36γ, p-p38 and IL-17A was higher in the patients’ lesion of lichen planus ( the positive rates were 86.21%, 79.31% and 94.83%) than in control group (the positive rates were 68.42%, 15.79% and 63.16%) ( all P<0.01) . In lichen planus group, there were positive correlations between the ex-pression of IL-36γand p-p38 ( P<0.001) , and between the expression of IL-36γand IL-17A ( P<0.001) . Significant difference was also observed between the two cytokines’ expression grade ( P<0.05) . Conclusion:p38MAPK pathway and Th17 cytokine may be involved in the pathogenesis of lichen planus.

This study examined the correlation of the expression of interleukin-36 (IL-36), a novel member of interleukin-1 (IL-1) family, with p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK) and nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) pathways in psoriasis vulgaris skin lesions. The expression levels of IL-36α, IL-36β, IL-36Γ, phosphorylated p38 MAPK, and NF-κBp65 were detected in the skin tissues of 38 psoriasis patients and 17 healthy control subjects by real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and Western blotting. The cytokine expression levels were compared between the psoriasis group and the control group. A correlation analysis between cytokine proteins was performed in the psoriasis group. Results showed that the expression levels of IL-36a, IL-36β, IL-36Γ, phosphorylated p38 MAPK and NF-κBp65 in the psoriasis group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P<0.001). In the psoriasis group, the IL-36 cytokine expression was positively correlated with phosphorylated p38 MAPK and NF-κBp65 expression (P<0.05). A significant positive correlation was also found between the phosphorylated p38 MAPK and NF-κBp65 expression (P<0.01). It was concluded that the increased IL-36 expression is correlated with p38 MAPK and NF-κB pathways in psoriasis vulgaris skin lesions. All the three factors may be jointly involved in the pathogenesis and local inflammatory response of psoriasis.

The expression of the interferon regulatory factor 4 (IRF-4) and the IRF-4-binding pro-tein (IBP) in psoriatic skin lesions was investigated. The expression of IRF-4 and IBP in skin lesions of 20 patients with psoriasis vulgaris were immunohistochemically dectected. Normal skin from 10 healthy people was used as normal control. The study showed that expression of IRF-4 was increased significantly in keratinocytes and inflammatory cells in the lesions of psoriasis vulgaris than that in the normal control. The detection revealed that IBP expression in keratinocytes, lymphocytes, hair follicles, and sebaceous glands in normal skin was significantly lower than that in the lesions of pso-riasis vulgaris (P0.05). Both IRF-4 and IBP might be involved in the pathogenesis of psoriasis vul-garis.
