In the psoriatic non-lesional (PS-NL) skin, the tissue environment potentially influences the development and recurrence of lesions. Therefore, we aimed to investigate mechanisms involved in regulating tissue organization in PS-NL skin. Cytokine, chemokine, protease, and protease inhibitor levels were compared between PS-NL skin of patients with mild and severe symptoms and healthy skin. By comparing mild and severe PS-NL vs. healthy skin, differentially expressed cytokines and chemokines suggested alterations in hemostasis-related processes, while protease inhibitors showed no psoriasis severity-related changes. Comparing severe and mild PS-NL skin revealed disease severity-related changes in the expression of proteases, cytokines, and chemokines primarily involving methyl-CpG binding protein 2 (MECP2) and extracellular matrix organization-related mechanisms. Cytokine and chemokine expression in clinically resolved versus healthy skin showed slight interleukin activity, differing from patterns in mild and severe PS-NL skin. Immunofluorescence analysis revealed the severity-dependent nuclear expression pattern of MECP2 and decreased expression of 5-methylcytosine and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine in the PS-NL vs. healthy skin, and in resolved vs. healthy skin. Our results suggest distinct cytokine-chemokine signaling between the resolved and PS-NL skin of untreated patients with varying severities. These results highlight an altered inflammatory response, epigenetic regulation, and tissue organization in different types of PS-NL skin with possibly distinct, severity-dependent para-inflammatory states.
在银屑病非皮损(PS-NL)皮肤中,组织环境可能会影响皮损的发展和复发。因此,我们旨在研究调节 PS-NL 皮肤组织的机制。比较了轻度和重度症状患者的 PS-NL 皮肤与健康皮肤之间的细胞因子、趋化因子、蛋白酶和蛋白酶抑制剂水平。通过比较轻度和重度 PS-NL 与健康皮肤,差异表达的细胞因子和趋化因子表明了与止血相关过程的改变,而蛋白酶抑制剂没有显示出与银屑病严重程度相关的变化。比较重度和轻度 PS-NL 皮肤揭示了蛋白酶、细胞因子和趋化因子表达的与疾病严重程度相关的变化,主要涉及甲基-CpG 结合蛋白 2(MECP2)和细胞外基质组织相关机制。与健康皮肤相比,临床缓解的 PS-NL 皮肤中的细胞因子和趋化因子表达显示出轻微的白细胞介素活性,与轻度和重度 PS-NL 皮肤的模式不同。免疫荧光分析显示了 MECP2 的严重程度依赖的核表达模式,以及在 PS-NL 皮肤与健康皮肤之间和在缓解的 PS-NL 皮肤与健康皮肤之间 5-甲基胞嘧啶和 5-羟甲基胞嘧啶表达的降低。我们的结果表明,在未经治疗的患者中,缓解和 PS-NL 皮肤之间存在不同的细胞因子-趋化因子信号,其严重程度不同。这些结果强调了不同类型的 PS-NL 皮肤中存在改变的炎症反应、表观遗传调节和组织组织,可能具有不同的、严重程度依赖的旁炎症状态。
