Overview of Selenoprotein P: A Biomarker in the Pathogenesis of Psoriasis
Mohamed HamedKhater, Soheir Mohamed Ghonemy, TaiseerRefaat Ibrahim, Aeshah Mohamed Mustafa Alsaqar
Abstract
d:Psoriasis is an autoimmune and inflammatory skin disease affecting 2–4% of the
global population. The pathogenesis of psoriasis is far from being elucidated. Psoriasis
comorbidities constantly lead researchers to look for their newer predictive markers.
Selenoproteins are produced in the liver and involved in defense against oxidative stress by
taking part in oxidation-reduction reactions neutralizing reactive oxygen species (ROS). It is
worth mentioning here that oxidative stress closely related with inflammation participates in
the development of pathological processes in psoriasis. Selenoproteins may improve
immune response, thanks to their anti-inflammatory, chemo preventive and antiviral
properties. Many disorders seem to be related to selenoprotein metabolism, such as
cardiovascular, endocrine, immune and neurological diseases.Selenoproteins has recently
become a particular object of studies on its potential use as a predictor or biomarker of
different disease prognosis, pointing to the divergent actions of SeP or even promoting the
development of some diseases. The elevated concentration of SeP was reported in various
cardiometabolic disorders, such as obesity, DM, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and CVD, all
closely related to psoriasis
