Psoriatic Disease: What We Know
www.psoriasis.org
• Chronic, inflammatory disease of the skin and/or joints
• Causes rapid turnover of skin cells (10 times faster than normal)
• Periods of intense flares of the disease causing pain and itch
• May cause persistent warmth and swelling (inflammation) around a joint
• Related inflammation is associated with other health conditions
![Page 13: Boston More Than Skin Deep June 6 2015](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110313/55c47058bb61eb42288b469c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Why does psoriatic disease occur?
www.psoriasis.org
• Reason not
entirely known
• Known players: Dendritic cells Mast cells TNF-alpha proteins Interleukin (IL) 17 Interleukin (IL) 12/23
Current model of psoriasis pathogenesis
Journal of the American Academy of Dermatologyhttp://www.jaad.org/article/S0190-9622(14)01001-9/pdf
![Page 14: Boston More Than Skin Deep June 6 2015](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110313/55c47058bb61eb42288b469c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Current Research: Why You Flare
www.psoriasis.org
• Dendritic cells (DCs) are a type of immune cell that play a role in psoriatic disease
• One kind of DCs, Plasmacytoid dendritic cells might trigger new psoriasis flares
• Plasmacytoid DCs are increased in psoriatic skin
• A different kind of DC, Langerhan cells are decreased in psoriatic skin. This decrease allows pro-inflammatory cytokines to increase
![Page 15: Boston More Than Skin Deep June 6 2015](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110313/55c47058bb61eb42288b469c/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Current Research: Why You Itch
www.psoriasis.org
• Itch is present in between 70 and 90 percent of people with psoriasis
• Itch is associated with receptors that send a signal through fibers in the skin to your spinal cord and to the brain
• Identified itch receptors include: NGF (Nerve growth factor) TrkA (Tyrosine protein kinase) TRPV1 (Transient receptor
potential vaniliod 1)

What are Biologics?
• Protein-based drugs derived from living cells grown in a culture
• Action of biologics mimic the natural function of the body
• Taken by injection or IV infusion
