Psoriasis vulgaris is a common inflammatory skin disease with still unknown pathogenesis. In recent years, genetic and environmental factors have been mentioned as the main causes. Among environmental factors, many researchers are trying to investigate the role of mental health and its importance in the development of many diseases. In the pathophysiology of psoriasis, the role of the interaction between the nervous, endocrine, and immune systems are often emphasized. So far, no one has clearly indicated where the pathological process begins. One of the hypotheses is that chronic stress influences the formation of hormonal changes (lowering the systemic cortisol level), which favors the processes of autoimmunity. In inflammatory skin conditions, mast cells (MCs) are localized close to blood vessels and peripheral nerves, where they probably play an important role in the response to environmental stimuli and emotional stress. They are usually connected with a fast immune response, not only in allergies but also a protective response to microbial antigens. Among many cells of the immune system, MCs have receptors for the hormones of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis on their surface. In this review, we will try to take a closer look at the role of MCs in the pathophysiology of psoriasis. This knowledge may give the opportunity to search for therapeutic solutions.
寻常型银屑病是一种常见的炎症性皮肤病,其发病机制尚不清楚。近年来,遗传和环境因素被认为是主要原因。在环境因素中,许多研究人员试图探讨心理健康及其在许多疾病发展中的重要性。在银屑病的病理生理学中,神经、内分泌和免疫系统之间的相互作用的作用经常被强调。到目前为止,还没有人明确指出病理过程从哪里开始。一种假设是慢性应激会影响激素变化的形成(降低全身皮质醇水平),从而有利于自身免疫过程。在炎症性皮肤疾病中,肥大细胞 (MC) 定位于血管和周围神经附近,在那里它们可能在对外界刺激和情绪应激的反应中发挥重要作用。它们通常与快速免疫反应有关,不仅与过敏有关,还与对微生物抗原的保护反应有关。在免疫系统的许多细胞中,MC 表面有下丘脑-垂体-肾上腺 (HPA) 轴激素的受体。在这篇综述中,我们将尝试更仔细地研究 MC 在银屑病病理生理学中的作用。这一知识可能为寻找治疗方法提供机会。
