Understanding the role of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) in the pathogenesis of rosacea might provide new therapeutic avenues for individuals with this disease.
To compare plasma levels of CGRP between individuals with rosacea and healthy controls.
In this cross-sectional case-control study conducted in Copenhagen, Denmark, we collected blood samples from the antecubital vein from adults with rosacea and from healthy controls.
We enrolled 123 individuals with rosacea and 68 healthy controls. After adjusting for age and sex, plasma levels of CGRP were significantly higher in individuals with rosacea (mean, 95% confidence interval: 140.21 pmol/L, 128.50-151.92 pmol/L), compared with controls (110.77 pmol/L, 99.91-120.14 pmol/L, p = 0.002). Plasma levels of CGRP were not affected by age, sex, BMI, concomitant migraine, rosacea sub- or phenotype, concomitant disease or current treatment.
Participants were not age-, sex- and BMI-matched.
Elevated plasma levels of CGRP in individuals with rosacea suggest a role of CGRP in the pathogenesis of rosacea. Targeting CGRP signalling might hold therapeutic promise in people affected by this disease.

了解降钙素基因相关肽(CGRP)在酒渣鼻发病机制中的作用可能为该病患者提供新的治疗途径。
比较酒渣鼻患者与健康对照者血浆中CGRP水平。
在丹麦哥本哈根进行的这项横断面病例对照研究中,我们从患有酒渣鼻的成年人和健康对照者的肘前静脉采集血样。
我们纳入了123例酒渣鼻患者和68名健康对照者。在调整年龄和性别后,酒渣鼻患者血浆中CGRP水平显著高于对照组(均值,95%置信区间:140.21 pmol/L,128.50 - 151.92 pmol/L),对照组为(110.77 pmol/L,99.91 - 120.14 pmol/L,p = 0.002)。CGRP血浆水平不受年龄、性别、体重指数、伴发偏头痛、酒渣鼻亚型或表型、伴发疾病或当前治疗的影响。
参与者未进行年龄、性别和体重指数匹配。
酒渣鼻患者血浆中CGRP水平升高表明CGRP在酒渣鼻发病机制中起作用。靶向CGRP信号通路可能对受该病影响的人群具有治疗前景。
