Abstract:
Objective To study expression and significance of keratin 17 and 19 in psoriatic lesion.Method The expression of keratin 17 and 19 in 30 psoriatic lesion and 10 normal skin was measured by immunohistochemistry method.Results The expression level of keratin 17 in the psoriatic lesion was higher than that in the normal skin,the expression level of keratin 19 in the psoriatic lesion was lower than that in the normal skin,there were significant differences in the expression of keratin 17 and 19 between them(P ＜0.05).The optical density level of keratin 17 in the psoriatic lesion was obviously raised compared with the normal skin(5.81 ± 1.42 vs.0,P＜ 0.01).The optical density level of keratin 19 in the psoriatic lesion was obviously decreased compared with the normal skin(0.49 ±0.03 vs.2.03± 1.08,P＜0.05).The optical density level of keratin 17 and 19 showed negative correlation in the psoriatic lesion(r =-0.479,P＜ 0.01).Conclusion Keratin 17 and 19 may play a role in the pathogenesis of psoriasis.
