Given that oxidative stress represents an important etiological factor in the pathogenesis of psoriasis, the aim of this study was to assess the effects of different therapeutic approaches, methotrexate, secukinumab, and ustekinumab on systemic oxidative stress biomarkers in psoriatic patients. This study involved 78 psoriatic patients, divided into the group treated with methotrexate (23 patients), secukinumab (28 patients), and ustekinumab (27 patients), and 15 healthy controls. Oxidative stress biomarkers (index of lipid peroxidation measured as TBARS, nitrites (NO), superoxide anion radical (O), and hydrogen peroxide (HO)) and antioxidative defense system (superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, catalase (CAT) activity, and reduced glutathione (GSH)) were determined spectrophotometrically from the blood before the initiation of therapy in 16th, 28th, and 52nd week. O and SOD showed the most prominent changes comparing the psoriatic patients and healthy controls. CAT activity was significantly lower in psoriatic patients, and methotrexate induced a further decline in CAT activity. Ustekinumab induced a significant increase in GSH level after 52 weeks of treatment, while methotrexate reduced GSH. All applied therapeutic options induced a reduction in PASI, BSA, DLQI, and EARP. Biological drugs exert more pronounced antioxidant effects compared to methotrexate, which is most clearly observed in the values of O and SOD.
鉴于氧化应激是银屑病发病机制中的一个重要病因,本研究的目的是评估不同治疗方法,即甲氨蝶呤、司库奇尤单抗和乌司奴单抗对银屑病患者全身氧化应激生物标志物的影响。本研究纳入了78例银屑病患者,分为甲氨蝶呤治疗组(23例患者)、司库奇尤单抗治疗组(28例患者)和乌司奴单抗治疗组(27例患者),以及15名健康对照者。在治疗开始前的第16周、第28周和第52周,通过分光光度法测定血液中的氧化应激生物标志物(以硫代巴比妥酸反应物(TBARS)测量的脂质过氧化指数、亚硝酸盐(NO)、超氧阴离子自由基(O)和过氧化氢(HO))和抗氧化防御系统(超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)活性、过氧化氢酶(CAT)活性和还原型谷胱甘肽(GSH))。比较银屑病患者和健康对照者,O和SOD显示出最显著的变化。银屑病患者的CAT活性显著降低,甲氨蝶呤导致CAT活性进一步下降。乌司奴单抗治疗52周后GSH水平显著升高,而甲氨蝶呤降低了GSH。所有应用的治疗方案均使银屑病面积和严重程度指数(PASI)、体表面积(BSA)、皮肤病生活质量指数(DLQI)和欧洲抗风湿病联盟应答标准(EARP)降低。与甲氨蝶呤相比,生物药物具有更明显的抗氧化作用,这在O和SOD的值中最为明显。
