ABSTRACT
Atopic dermatitis (AD) and psoriasis (PS) are common chronic inflammatory dermatoses. Although the differences at the intercellular and intracellular signaling level between AD and PS are well described, the resulting differences at the metabolism level have not yet been systematically analyzed. We compared the metabolomic profiles of the lesional skin, non-lesional skin and blood sera of AD and PS. Skin biopsies from 15 patients with AD, 20 patients with PS and 17 controls were collected, and 25 patients with AD, 55 patients with PS and 63 controls were recruited for the blood serum analysis. Serum and skin samples were analyzed using a targeted approach to find the concentrations of 188 metabolites and their ratios. A total of 19 metabolites differed in the comparison of lesional skins, one metabolite in non-lesional skins and 5 metabolites in blood sera. Although we found several metabolomic similarities between PS and AD, clear differences were outlined. Sphingomyelins were elevated in lesional skin of AD, implying a deficient barrier function. Increased levels of phosphatidylcholines, carnitines and asymmetric dimethylarginine in PS lesional skin and carnitines amino acids in the PS serum pointed to elevated cell proliferation. The comparison of the metabolomic profiles of AD and PS skin and sera outlined distinct patterns that were well correlated with the differences in the pathogenetic mechanisms of these two chronic inflammatory dermatoses.
