Objective To investigate the correlation between serum levels of microRNA(miR)-489-3p and miR-214-3p in patients with Psoriasis and the severity of disease.Methods From March 2022 to January 2024,138 Psoriasis patients who visited Zhangjiakou First Hospital were regarded as the study subjects(disease group).According to the psoriasis area and severity index(PASI)score,the 138 Psoriasis patients were separated into mild group(n=46),moderate group(n=54)and severe group(n=38).112 healthy individuals who underwent physical examinations in Zhangjiakou First Hospital during the same period were included in the control group.Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR(RT-qPCR)method was applied to determine the serum levels of miR-489-3p and miR-214-3p in the subjects.The serum levels of miR-489-3p and miR-214-3p were compared between the disease group and the control group,and among patients with different degrees of disease.Spearman correlation analysis was applied to explore the relationship between serum miR-489-3p,miR-214-3p levels and disease severity in Psoriasis patients.Logistic regression analysis was performed to analyze the related factors affecting the severity of Psoriasis.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was applied to investigate the diagnostic value of serum miR-489-3p and miR-214-3p levels for severe Psoriasis.Results The serum levels of miR-489-3p(0.81±0.23)and miR-214-3p(0.79±0.22)in the disease group were lower than those in the control group(1.05±0.28,1.02±0.25),and the differences were statistically significant(t=7.441,7.732,all P<0.05).Serum miR-489-3p in mild,moderate and severe Psoriasis groups(0.93±0.24,0.80±0.23,0.69±0.22),miR-214-3p levels(0.91±0.24,0.77±0.22,0.66±0.21)decreased gradually,and the differences were statistically significant(F=12.423,13.168,all P<0.05).Spearman's results showed that serum levels of miR-489-3p and miR-214-3p were negatively correlated with the severity of Psoriasis in patients(r=-0.490,-0.463,all P<0.05).Serum miR-489-3p and miR-214-3p were independent protective factors for the severity of Psoriasis patients(Wald χ2=5.751,8.753,all P<0.05).ROC curve results showed that the area under the curve(AUC)of serum miR-489-3p and miR-214-3p for diagnosing severe Psoriasis alone was 0.785 and 0.792,with sensitivity of 78.9%and 73.7%,specificity of 49.9%and 54.7%,respectively.The AUC of the combined diagnosis for severe Psoriasis was 0.931,the sensitivity and specificity were 71.7%,71.1%,respectively,and the combined diagnostic efficacy of the two was better than that of miR-489-3p and miR-214-3p alone,and the differences were statistically significant(Z=3.018,2.773,all P<0.05).Conclusion The serum levels of miR-489-3p and miR-214-3p in patients with Psoriasis are both reduced,and both are negatively correlated with the severity of the disease in Psoriasis patients.The combined determination of the two has high efficacy in the diagnosis of severe Psoriasis.
