Abstract Subject headings

CD93 is involved in angiogenesis and inflammation, both of which are key processes in the pathogenesis of psoriasis. CD93 was studied in serum, peripheral blood mononuclear cells and skin of patients with psoriasis and controls. Furthermore, allele frequencies for CD93 single-nucleotide polymorphisms rs2749812 and rs2749817 were assessed in patients with psoriasis compared with controls and the effect of narrow-band ultraviolet B (NB-UVB) treatment on CD93 gene expression was evaluated in the skin of patients with psoriasis. CD93 gene expression was significantly increased in lesional and non-lesional skin from patients with psoriasis compared with controls. Immunohistochemistry revealed CD93 staining in dermal endothelial cells in lesional skin, and psoriasis was significantly associated with rs2749817 CD93 gene polymorphism. NB-UVB treatment of patients with psoriasis did not alter skin CD93 gene expression. Increased protein expression of CD93 psoriatic skin and association with the rs2749817 polymorphism suggests that CD93 plays a role in psoriasis disease pathogenesis.
