The diagnosis of early-stage MF can be very challenging due to shared clinical and histopathological features with benign inflammatory dermatoses. Moreover, a lack of understanding of the aetiopathology is having a negative impact on efficient diagnosis and therapy. State-of-the-art bioinformatics tools were used to identify differentially expressed miRNAs that are potentially involved in the molecular pathogenesis of MF, with further investigation of their potential role as diagnostic biomarkers or therapeutic targets. The expression of miRNAs (miR-26a, miR-92a, miR-106b, miR-142, miR-146a, miR-155, miR-181a, miR-222, and miR-494) was evaluated in the serum of early-stage MF patients using RT-PCR as well as skin biopsies and CTCL cell lines (MyLa and SeAx). Our data showed that these miRNAs were significantly upregulated in plasma and biopsies of early-stage MF patients and CTCL cell lines compared to controls (p<0.05). Downregulation of miR-142, miR-146a, and miR-155 in CTCL cell lines using specific antagomirs significantly decreased cell proliferation and increased apoptosis of malignant cells. Overall, detailed bioinformatics analysis, followed by experimental validation in CTCL plasma, tissues, and cell lines, indicated that detection of miR-142, miR-146a, and miR-155 upregulation by liquid biopsy may represent a potential non-invasive diagnostic technique as well as a new therapeutic targeting approach for early-stage MF.</p>","PeriodicalId":11968,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Dermatology","volume":"35 3","pages":"174-191"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144752741","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Inflammatory cells and mediators induce local inflammation, enhance neuronal excitability, and alter pain transmission pathways. Different immune cells contribute variably to PHN, with some immune cells exhibiting dual roles. An understanding of the roles of different immune cells and inflammatory factors in PHN is therefore important and may aid in identifying new immunotherapeutic approaches. To investigate the effects of diverse cytokines and immune cell phenotypes on PHN. Materials & Methods: We conducted Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis utilizing publicly available genome-wide association study data. Instrumental variable selection adhered to stringent criteria to ensure robustness. We employed various analytical methods, including the Inverse Variance Weighted method, sensitivity analyses, and reverse MR, to assess causal relationships. Our study identified causal relationships between PHN and various cytokines and immune phenotypes using two-sample MR analysis. One cytokine and five immune phenotypes were shown to reduce the risk of PHN, notably CD8dim T cell absolute count (OR: 0.483, 95% CI: 0.239-0.976, p=0.043). Conversely, one cytokine and one immune phenotype were shown to increase the risk of PHN. SNP selection indicated robust instrumental variables, and sensitivity analyses confirmed no significant heterogeneity or horizontal pleiotropy. Reverse MR revealed no causal effect of PHN on these factors, suggesting a unidirectional relationship. Our study provides insights into the role of immune factors in PHN, revealing potential targets for therapeutic interventions. Further research is warranted to validate these findings and explore personalized treatment strategies for PHN management.</p>","PeriodicalId":11968,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Dermatology","volume":"35 3","pages":"192-202"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144752737","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
