Psoriasis has been thought to be driven primarily by innate and adaptive immune systems that can be modified by genetic and environmental factors. Complex interplay between inflammatory cytokines and T-cells, especially Th1 and Th17 cells, leads to abnormal cell proliferation and psoriatic skin lesions. Nevertheless, such mechanisms do not entirely represent the pathogenesis of psoriasis. Moreover, earlier and better biomarkers in diagnostics, prognostics, and monitoring therapeutic outcomes of psoriasis are still needed. During the last two decades, proteomics (a systematic analysis of proteins for their identities, quantities, and functions) has been widely employed to psoriatic research. This review summarizes and discusses all of the previous studies that applied various modalities of proteomics technologies to psoriatic skin disease. The data obtained from such studies have led to (i) novel mechanisms and new hypotheses of the disease pathogenesis; (ii) biomarker discovery for diagnostics and prognostics; and (iii) proteome profiling for monitoring treatment efficacy and drug-induced toxicities.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune inflammatory disorder of the central nervous system (CNS) resulting in demyelination and axonal loss in the brain and spinal cord. The precise pathogenesis and etiology of this complex disease are still a mystery. Despite many studies that have been aimed to identify biomarkers, no protein marker has yet been approved for MS. There is urgently needed for biomarkers, which could clarify pathology, monitor disease progression, response to treatment, and prognosis in MS. Proteomics and metabolomics analysis are powerful tools to identify putative and novel candidate biomarkers. Different human compartments analysis using proteomics, metabolomics, and bioinformatics approaches has generated new information for further clarification of MS pathology, elucidating the mechanisms of the disease, finding new targets, and monitoring treatment response. Overall, omics approaches can develop different therapeutic and diagnostic aspects of complex disorders such as multiple sclerosis, from biomarker discovery to personalized medicine.

The spondyloarthritides are a group of inflammatory rheumatic diseases with predominant involvement of axial and peripheral joints and entheses, together with other characteristic clinical features, including inflammatory back pain, sacroiliitis, peripheral arthritis (mainly in the legs), enthesitis, dactylitis, preceding infection of the urogenital/gastrointestinal tract, psoriatic skin lesions, Crohn-like gut lesions, anterior uveitis, and a family history of Spondyloarthritis. They are the second most frequent inflammatory rheumatic diseases after rheumatoid arthritis....

The dermal fibroblasts are in constant contact with the cells of the immune system and skin epidermis. Therefore, they are essential for the development of lesions in psoriasis. The aim of this study was to assess the changes in the proteomic profile of fibroblasts in the dermis of psoriasis patients, and to discuss the most significant changes and their potential consequences. The proteomic results indicate that fibroblast dysfunction arises from the upregulation of proinflammatory factors and antioxidant proteins, as well as those involved in signal transduction and participating in proteolytic processes. Moreover, downregulated proteins in psoriatic fibroblasts are mainly responsible for the transcription/translation processes, glycolysis/ adenosine triphosphate synthesis and structural molecules. These changes can directly affect intercellular signaling and promote the hyperproliferation of epidermal cells. A better understanding of the metabolic effects of the proteomic changes observed could guide the development of new pharmacotherapies for psoriasis.

Abstract Vasculitis rarely complicates solid tumors but is more common in hematologic malignancies, particularly MDS,. We report characteristics and outcome of 21 patients with both MDS and vasculitis. Patients: We retrospectively collected data of patients with at least 1 malignancy (including MDS) and vasculitis diagnosed between 1992 and 2002 in 6 French centers. Vasculitides occurring during cancer remission were excluded, as were giant-cell arteritis, relapsing polychondritis (a well known association with MDS), cryoglobulinemia, infection- or drug-induced vasculitis. Results: 60 patients, with median follow-up of 45 months were analyzed. Vasculitides diagnosed were: cutaneous leukocytoclastic (LV,45%), polyarteritis nodosa (PAN,36.7%), Wegener’s granulomatosis (WG,6.7%), microscopic polyangiitis (MPA,5%), Henoch-Schonlein purpura( HSP,5%). Cancers were hematological (66.7%) (including 21 MDS (35%) and (23%) lymphoid malignancies) and solid tumors (41.7%). Five patients had 2 cancers. 21 patients had vasculitis associated with MDS (median age 66 yr; M/F ratio 4.25). FAB classification was: RAEB (n=11), RA (n=3) and CMML (n=7). Vasculitides were LV (n=9), PAN (n=9), MPA(n=1), WG (n=1), cutaneous granulomatous vasculitis (n=1).CMML were only associated with necrotizing vasculitis ( 6PAN, 1WG). Vasculitis and MDS were diagnosed simultaneously in 12(57%) cases, vasculitis was diagnosed after MDS in 8 (38%) cases (median interval: 11 months, range 1–45) and 6 months before MDS in 1 case.9 MDS progressed to AML. Vasculitides developed before or at the time of leukemic progression in 6 of them (median interval 3 months, range 0–12). Main vasculitis symptoms were: fever (47%), skin lesions(81%), arthralgias (62%), peripheral neuropathy (14%), renal involvement (43%)[microaneurysms 29%, renal failure 9.5%, glomerulonephritis 9.5%], inflammatory syndrome (81%), ANCA (20%). Vasculitis therapy was steroids (90%) +/− immune suppressors (33%). MDS treatment was: AraC( n:2), VP16 (n:3), hydroxyurea (n:2),allogeneic BMT (n:2), symptomatic (n:12). Vasculitis was cured in 10 (47%) cases. 17 (81%) patients died; only 1 death was linked to vasculitis. Regardless of the type, vasculitides associated with MDS had significantly more frequent renal involvement (p=0.02),steroid dependence (p=0.04), and less recovery (p=0.04) than vasculitides without MDS Conclusion: Vasculitides associated to MDS appear to have distinctive features and more severe evolution.In addition, occurrence of vasculitides during the course of MDS may be associated with a high risk of rapid leukemic progression.
