![]() ![]() MethodsĪ review of recent associations and function of neutrophils to other inflammatory cells, proinflammatory molecules related to psoriasis, psoriasis triggers, genes and disease associated or related with psoriasis, and side effects of psoriasis treatments is performed. ![]() Neutrophils are thus recognized as a component of psoriasis, but their role in the pathogenesis of the disease, its triggers, associated disease, and complications of the disease have not been comprehensively delineated. Psoriatic serum at low concentration (1%) stimulated random migration of normal human polymorphs. Activated psoriatic serum with bacterial extracts sometimes increases chemotaxis. (Psoriatics with arthritis have the greatest number). Psoriatic patients have increased numbers of circulating neutrophils. Īfter tape stripping a psoriasis patient, the sequence of events in early psoriasis is as follows:ġ. This early histology has been reconfirmed several times. Īn intermittent exudate of fluid and of leukocytes, both neutrophils and lymphocytes, are seen in the epidermis in early psoriasis (the squirting papilla). They are involved in the production of chemokines in response to a variety of stimulants including LPS, TNF-alpha, and IFN-gamma, thereby contributing to immunomodulation. Neutrophils produce reactive oxygen species and anti-microbial peptides. They are effector cells that kill bacteria or destroy affected tissues. Neutrophils are the first to be recruited to a site of infection or a diseased state. Interplay between these disorders and drugs and neutrophils. Clinical triggers of psoriasis, drugs that help psoriasis, drugs that flare psoriasis, psoriasis associated disorders, disorders treatable with therapies used to treat psoriasis, and side effects of many psoriasis therapies can be explained at least in part by the Many psoriasis associated pro-inflammatory molecules including angiopoetin-1, cathelicidins, CCR6, CD15, CD40, CD40L, CD69, CXCL10, Fas ligand, folic acid pathways and associated molecules (homocysteine, NF-kappaB, VCAM-1 and VEGF), GM-CSF, IFN-gamma, interleukins 1beta, 4, 6, 8, 12, 15, 17, 20, 22BP and 23, Leukotriene B4, S100A7-9 and S100A12, Sphingosine 1-Phosphate, TGF beta -1, and TNF-alpha all affect, are secreted by or are affected by neutrophils. Neutrophils in turn can modulate function of these cells. Neutrophil function can be modulated by T lymphocytes and by monocytes. Neutrophils appear early in new psoriasis lesions. The extensive literature about the role of neutrophils in psoriasis is reviewed.
