Dysregulated epigenetic modifications in psoriasis

xlomafota13 shared this article with you from Inoreader Dysregulated epigenetic modifications in psoriasis Via Experimental Dermatology Abstract The observed incidence of psoriasis has been gradually increasing over time1, but the underlying pathogenic factors have remained unclear. Recent studies suggest the importance of epigenetic modification in the pathogenesis of psoriasis. Aberrant epigenetic patterns including changes in DNA methylation, histone modifications, and non‐coding RNA expression are observed in psoriatic skin. Reversing these epigenetic mechanisms have showed improvement in psoriatic phenotypes, making epigenetic therapy a potential avenue for psoriasis treatment. Here, we summarize relevant evidence for epigenetic dysregulation contributing to psoriasis susceptibility and pathogenesis, and the factors responsible for epigenetic modifications, providing directions for potential future clinical avenues.
