psoriasis/tyrosine

Psoriasis is a heterogenous skin disease, characterized by epidermal hyperproliferation, abnormal keratinization and inflammation. The heterogeneity of the disease results probably from the interaction of multiple gene abnormalities with environmental factors. The new approaches to drug design have

Uncontrolled signaling from protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs) can lead to numerous proliferative and inflammatory diseases, and identification of the specific PTKs that play a key role in a defined disease could potentially lead to a selective therapeutic agent. In psoriasis, the balance of signals

Recent whole-genome and candidate-gene association studies in patients with psoriasis (PS) have identified a number of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that predispose to disease with moderate risk. Predisposition to PS is known to be affected by genetic variation in human leukocyte antigen-C

BACKGROUND The induction of protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs) is known to be a key element in the activation of lymphocytes. OBJECTIVE Because immunologic mechanisms are important in the pathogenesis of psoriasis, we examined the time course of tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins (p-tyr) as a marker for

BACKGROUND Atopic dermatitis (AD) and psoriasis are the 2 most common chronic inflammatory skin diseases. There is an unmet medical need to overcome limitations for transcutaneous drug development posed by the skin barrier. OBJECTIVE We aimed to identify a novel transdermal delivery peptide and to

Psoriasis is an unchecked chronic inflammation characterized by thick, erythematous, and scaly plaques on the skin. The role of innate immune cells in the pathogenesis of psoriasis is well documented. Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) has been reported to execute important signaling functions in innate

Psoriasis is a chronic T-cell-mediated autoimmune disease, and FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) has been considered as a potential molecular target for the treatment of psoriasis. In this investigation, structural optimization was performed on a lead compound,

Tyrosine kinase 2 (TYK2) signaling pathways, which mediate cytokine signaling, are implicated in the pathophysiology of psoriasis. Selective inhibitors of TYK2 may be effective in treating psoriasis. We conducted a phase 2, double-blind trial of a TYK2 inhibitor, BMS-986165, in adults with

Psoriasis is a debilitating autoimmune disease of the skin characterized by acanthosis and hyperkeratosis resulting from excessive growth of keratinocytes in the epidermis and inflammatory infiltrates in the dermis. Innate immune cells such as dendritic cells (DCs), perform a critical role in the

UNASSIGNED Psoriasis is a complex autoimmune disease caused by the interaction of genetic and environmental factors. PTPN22 gene polymorphism has been reported to affect psoriasis susceptibility; however, no data are available for Middle Eastern populations. UNASSIGNED The aim of this study was to
