Objective:To investigate the colony formation of high-proliferative potential colony-forming cells(HPP-CFC) from bone marrow-derived hematopoietic cells of psoriatic patients and p21 gene promotor methylation in HPP-CFC,and probe into the relationship between the colony formation and the methylation status of p21 gene promoter.[WT5"HZ] Methods:[WT5"BZ]Bone marrow-derived mononuclear cells were separated by density gradient centrifugation.The cells were cultured in methycellulose semi-solid culture medium with SCF,GM-CSF,IL-3 and IL-6 for 14 days, and then high-proliferative potential colony-forming cells(HPP-CFC) were counted.The HPP-CFC were collected and their genomic DNA was isolated . DNA was subjected to bisulfite treatment,and the modified DNA was studied by using the methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction (MSP).[WT5"HZ]Results:[WT5"BZ]In methycellulose semi-solid culture system, the number of HPP-CFC in bone marrow of psoriatic patients was significantly less than that of normal control. The positive frequency of methylation of p21 gene promoter in HPP-CFC of normal contrasts was higher than that of psoriatic patients. [WT5"HZ]Conclusion:[WT5"BZ]The activity of methylation status of p21 gene promoter of bone marrow derived hematopoietic cells of psoriatic patients is abnomal. The lower positive frequency of methyllation of p21 gene promotor in HPP-CFC perhaps play a role in lower colony-forming capability of HPP-CFC of psoriatic patients.

Objective To study the influence of culture supernatant of psoriatic peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) on the colony-forming of bone marrow-derived hematopoietic stem cells and progenitor cells. Methods Bone marrow-derived mononuclear cells were separated by density gradient centrifugation. Methylcellulose semi-solid culture medium was used to culture the bone marrow mononuclear cells in culture systems. The PBMC culture supernatant from psoriatic patients or normal controls were added to the culture, to observe their influence on the marrow-derived high proliferative potential colony forming cells (HPP-CFCs), erythroid and granulocyte-macrophage colony forming units (CFUs-E and CFUs-GM) of bone marrow hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells from healthy individuals. Results The values of HPP-CFCs, CFUs-E and CFUs-GM were significantly lower in the bone marrow cells stimulated by the supernatant of cultured psoriatic PBMCs than those stimulated by the supernatant of cultured normal PBMCs and those in the spontaneous proliferation group (P 0.05). Conclusions Psoriatic PBMCs have specific biological activity and can inhibit the colony forming of bone marrow hematopoietic cells from healthy individuals.

T helper 17 (Th17) cell/regulatory T (Treg)cell imbalance has been widely considered as one of immunopathogeneses of psoriasis.Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) can inhibit the proliferation and differentiation of Th 17 cells,but induce the proliferation of Treg cells.Exosomes secreted by MSC are a kind of important carrier for intercellular communication and material transportation.Studies have found that exosomes from MSC and MSC have similar immunoregulatory function,which can inhibit the proliferation of Th17 cells and induce the differentiation of Treg cells.In recent years,many studies have shown that abnormalities of MSC in bone marrow and skin lesions of psoriasis patients are related to the occurrence of psoriasis,but the mechanism is still unclear.This review elaborates the role of normal MSC and their exosomes in the maintenance of Th 17/Treg balance,which provides ideas for studying how abnormalities of MSC in bone marrow and skin lesions of psoriasis patients participate in the occurrence of psoriasis.

Background and Objectives: Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease, which the mechanisms behind its initiation and development are related to many factors. DMSCs (dermal mesenchymal stem cells) represent an important member of the skin microenvironment and play an important role in the surrounding environment and in neighbouring cells, but they are also affected by the microenvironment. We studied the glucose metabolism of DMSCs in psoriasis patients and a control group to reveal the relationship among glucose metabolism, cell proliferation activity，and VEC (vascular endothelial cell) differentiation in vitro, we demonstrated the biological activity and molecular mechanisms of DMSCs in psoriasis. Methods: and Results: We found that the OCR of DMSCs in psoriatic lesions was higher than that in the control group, and mRNA of GLUT1 and HK2 were up-regulated compared with the control group. The proliferative activity of DMSCs in psoriasis was reduced at an early stage, and mRNA involved in proliferation, JUNB and FOS were expressed at lower levels than those in the control group. The number of blood vessels in psoriatic lesions was significantly higher than that in the control group (p＜0.05), which the mRNA of VEC differentiation, CXCL12, CXCR7, HEYL and RGS5 tended to be increased in psoriatic lesions compared to the control group, in addition to Notch3. Conclusions We speculated that DMSCs affected local psoriatic blood vessels through glucose metabolism, and the differentiation of VECs, which resulted in the pathophysiological process of psoriasis.
