Abstract

Background and Design: Psoriasis is a chronic, inflammatory disease, and several biochemical markers play role in its inflammatory process. This study measured the levels of interleukin-12 (IL-12), IL-17a, IL-22 and IL-23, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and serum growth differentiation factor-15 (GDF-15) and aimed to detect the relationship of serum GDF-15 level with inflammation and disease severity. Materials and Methods: This study included 50 consecutive patients diagnosed with plaque-type psoriasis. For all patients, dermatological examinations were performed, and psoriasis area severity index (PASI) scores were recorded. Patients with PASI 20 severe (group 3) psoriasis. Results: No difference was observed between the patient and the control groups in terms of age, sex, IL-17a and IL-22. A statistically non- significant difference was detected in terms of IL-12 and IL-23. However, there was significant difference between two groups in termshs-CRP, TNF-α and GDF-15. GDF-15 was significantly different in all three groups (p 1498.5 pg/mL (area under the curve: 0.813, p<0.001) in the receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. This study is mainly limited by the lack of follow-up and pre- and post-treatment assessment. Inflammatory markers were measured only in the serum, and their tissue levels are unknown. Conclusion: In addition to PASI score, GDF-15 levels can be a guide in monitoring treatment and systemic inflammation, determining the disease severity, and providing efficient treatment.

Özet

Amaç: Psoriazis kronik inflamatuvar bir hastalıktır ve inflamasyon sürecinde çeşitli biyokimyasal belirteçler rol oynar. Çalışmamızda interlökin-12 (IL-12), IL-17a, IL-22 ve IL-23, yüksek-sensitif C-reaktif protein (hs-CRP), tümör nekroz faktörü-alfa (TNF-α) ve serum büyüme farklılaşma faktörü-15 (GDF-15) düzeylerini ölçtük ve serum GDF-15’in inflamasyon ve hastalık şiddeti ile ilişkisini saptamayı amaçladık. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmamıza plak tipi psoriazis tanısı ile 50 ardışık hasta dahil edildi. Tüm hastalar için dermatolojik incelemeler yapıldı ve psoriazis alan şiddet indeksi (PAŞİ) skorları kaydedildi. PAŞİ’si 10’un altında olan hastalar hafif (grup 1), 10 ila 20 arasında orta (grup 2) ve 20’den fazla şiddetli (grup 3) olarak kabul edildi. Bulgular: Hasta ile kontrol grubu arasında yaş, cinsiyet, IL-17a ve IL-22 açısından herhangi bir fark izlenmedi. IL-12 ve IL-23 açısından ise istatistiksel olarak anlamlı olmayan farklılık izlendi. Fakat hs-CRP, TNF-α ve GDF-15 açısından ise iki grup arasında anlamlı farklılık mevcuttu. GDF- 15’in 3 grupta da anlamlı olarak farklı olduğu bulundu (p 1498,5 pg/mL (eğri altında kalan alan: 0,813, p<0,001) olarak bulundu. Sonuç: PAŞİ skoruna ek olarak, GDF-15 düzeylerinin tedavi ve sistemik inflamasyonun izlenmesinde, hastalığın şiddetinin belirlenmesinde ve etkili tedavinin sağlanmasında bir rehber olabileceğini düşünüyoru
