    Combination therapy with vitamin D analogues (2001)

    Notes: Monotherapy with vitamin D analogues has been shown to be effective in the treatment of psoriasis. Vitamin D analogues have also been used in combination with other topical therapies, systemic therapies and phototherapy. In many instances, the efficacy of these other treatments can be maximized and adverse effects minimized when combined with vitamin D analogues. The combination of a topical corticosteroid with a vitamin D analogue can work synergistically to improve efficacy and reduce the side-effects from both treatments. However, caution must be used when mixing the two agents, as some topical corticosteroids will result in the degradation of the vitamin D analogue. Benefit from phototherapy is also increased when using vitamin D analogues, so that greater improvement occurs with fewer treatments. Effects on minimal erythema dose must be considered and the potential for ultraviolet blocking by vitamin D analogues may affect treatment. Some vitamin D analogues may also be susceptible to degradation by certain wavelengths of ultraviolet light. Combining vitamin D analogues with systemic agents exerts a dose-sparing effect, thus reducing the possibility of side-effects, but such combinations require further study. As long as treatments are used correctly, the benefits of combination therapy with vitamin D analogues usually outweigh the few drawbacks.

    Actinic keratosis: epidemiology and progression to squamous cell carcinoma (2003)

    Notes: Actinic keratoses are a common problem in the population, and one of the most common conditions treated by dermatologists. Risk factors for the development of actinic keratosis are those associated with increased sun exposure and increased susceptibility to sun exposure such as low latitude, working outdoors, light skin, and history of sunburn. The role of the immune system is clear from the frequency of actinic keratoses in transplant patients. There is strong evidence that actinic keratoses can progress to squamous cell carcinoma, underscoring the need to identify and treat patients at risk.

    Abnormalities of connective tissue components in lesional and non-lesional tissue of patients with pseudoxanthoma elasticum (1993)

    Notes: Abstract Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) is a disorder of connective tissue in which abnormalities of elastic tissue and collagen are found. The purpose of this study was to examine the ultrastructure and distribution of connective tissue components in lesional and non-lesional skin of patients by means of indirect immunofluorescence, electron microscopy and indirect immunoelectron microscopy. Prominent abnormalities of elastic tissue were seen on electron microscopy and confirmed by immunoelectron microscopy. Abnormal elastic fibers containing electron-dense bodies and holes were seen even in non-lesional skin. In addition, the normal pattern of collagen bundles was disrupted in lesional skin, but not in non-lesional skin of patients with PXE. The majority of individual collagen fibrils appeared normal by electron microscopy. The distribution of type IV collagen and laminin was normal in small blood vessels. Finally, abnormalities in the distribution of fibronectin were seen. The finding of atypical elastic fibers in non-lesional skin supports an early role for elastic tissue components in the pathogenesis of PXE. Interactions between elastin, collagen and other matrix substances may explain some of the abnormalities seen.

    Cutting Edge: Selective Oral ROCK2 Inhibitor Reduces Clinical Scores in Patients with Psoriasis Vulgaris and Normalizes Skin Pathology via Concurrent Regulation of IL-17 and IL-10 [CUTTING EDGE] (2017)
    The American Association of Immunologists (AAI)

    Publication Date: 2017-05-09
    Description: Targeted inhibition of Rho-associated kinase (ROCK)2 downregulates the proinflammatory T cell response while increasing the regulatory arm of the immune response in animals models of autoimmunity and Th17-skewing human cell culture in vitro. In this study, we report that oral administration of a selective ROCK2 inhibitor, KD025, reduces psoriasis area and severity index scores by 50% from baseline in 46% of patients with psoriasis vulgaris, and it decreases epidermal thickness as well as T cell infiltration in the skin. We observed significant reductions of IL-17 and IL-23, but not IL-6 and TNF-α, whereas IL-10 levels were increased in peripheral blood of clinical responders after 12 wk of treatment with KD025. Collectively, these data demonstrate that an orally available selective ROCK2 inhibitor downregulates the Th17-driven autoimmune response and improved clinical symptoms in psoriatic patients via a defined molecular mechanism that involves concurrent modulation of cytokines without deleterious impact on the rest of the immune system.
