Abstract | ||||
Background: A chronic inflammatory skin condition, psoriasis affects around 2-4% of people globally. The cutaneous manifestations of psoriasis are variable. MicroRNA are short, single-stranded, noncoding RNA molecules. People with psoriasis have been shown to express several miRNAs differently in their blood or psoriatic skin. Aim: In the current study we aimed to detect microRNA 511-5p in serum samples of psoriasis patients, correlate its presence to disease severity and compare its level between patients and control subjects. Methods: The research involved 30 patients who had psoriasis and 30 control individuals in Beni-Suef University hospital. Psoriasis diagnosis was confirmed according to the typical clinical presentation of psoriasis. The degree of psoriasis severity was evaluated using PASI score. Three cm peripheral blood were taken from all patients and control subjects. Levels of microRNA 511-5p in serum samples were determined using reverse transcription PCR (rt-PCR). Results: A statistically significant difference was detected between miRNA 511-5p levels in cases and controls (p < 0.001). There is no statistically significant association was detected between miRNA 511-5p and PASI score (p = 0.162). the study revealed patients' ages and duration of illnesses had a positive correlation with baseline PASI. (p value = 0.04 and 0.001 respectively). Conclusion: we used qRT-PCR to examine Micro-RNA expression profile in psoriasis. MicroRNA 511-5p was significantly higher in psoriatic lesions, indicating that MicroRNA 511-5p might be used as a biomarker for psoriasis. | ||||
