Abstract

Psoriasis is a chronic, complex, immunological disorder, which may lead to many different systemic complications. Sphingolipids, including ceramide, are bioactive lipids, which take part in the regulation of immune reactions, cell growth, and apoptosis. Twenty psoriatic patients and twenty-eight control subjects were included in the study. Skin (both lesional and non-lesional) and serum samples were collected from both the control group and the psoriatic patients. The levels of sphingosine (SFO), sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P), sphingomyelin, sphinganine (SFA), sphinganine-1-phosphate (SFA1P), and ceramide (CER) were assessed in both tissue (t) and serum (s) samples using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). We identified elevated serum levels of SFO, S1P, SFA, and SFA1P in psoriatic patients when compared to healthy individuals. As far as the lesional skin and serum of psoriatic patients are concerned, we demonstrated positive associations between CER_t and CER_s, SFA_t and CER_s, and SFO_t and CER_s. Additionally, we found negative correlations in the non-lesional skin and serum of psoriatic patients, including SFO_t vs. SFO_s, CER_t vs. SFA_s, CER_t vs. SFO_s, and SFO_t vs. SFA_s. Finally, we observed a positive correlation between S1P and SFA1P in both the serum samples of psoriatic patients and the serum samples of the control group. In this study, we did not observe any correlations between psoriasis area and severity index (PASI) scores and sphingolipid levels. In conclusion, our findings indicate an interplay between skin and serum lipids in psoriatic patients, which is not observed in healthy individuals.
