ABSTRACT
Objective:
To investigate longitudinal CDC42 change and its correlation with disease activity and treatment response in patients with psoriasis.Methods:
This prospective study detected serum CDC42 at months (M) 0, M1, M3 and M6 in 150 patients with psoriasis with current initiation of topical therapy/phototherapy/systemic therapy.Results:
CDC42 was positively related to systemic biologic treatment history (p = 0.025) but negatively associated with psoriatic area (p = 0.010) and Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI; p < 0.001). CDC42 continuously elevated from M0 to M6 (p < 0.001). CDC42 at M1/M3/M6 was enhanced in patients with current systemic biologic therapy and PASI 75 or 90 response at M6 versus those without (all p < 0.050).Conclusion:
Increased serum CDC42 level reflects reduced disease severity and better treatment response in patients with psoriasis.
CDC42 is a protein that plays a role in inflammation and immune regulation in autoimmune diseases. CDC42 levels were detected in 150 patients with psoriasis at different time points and 150 healthy people at enrollment. The results showed that patients with psoriasis had lower CDC42 levels versus healthy people. Patients with psoriasis who received previous biologic treatments and those with smaller affected skin areas had higher CDC42 levels. Over time, CDC42 levels increased in patients with psoriasis. Patients who started biologic treatments (versus those who did not) and patients who responded better to treatment had higher CDC42 levels. The increase in CDC42 levels reflects better treatment outcomes in patients with psoriasis.
