Spleen filtration dysfunction, which caused abnormal erythrocytes, was also more likely to induce psoriasis, which was confirmed in a mouse model induced by splenectomy. The mechanism was the weakening of the ‘eat me’ function of spleen macrophages phagocytizing ageing and deformed erythrocytes, resulting in the dysfunction of spleen filtration and the increase of ageing and deformed erythrocytes in the body. Additionally, the decreased oxygen-carrying capacity and the declined antioxidant capacity of those erythrocytes led to the hypoxia environment, making psoriasis more likely to be induced.

Then, GO, KEGG and GSEA analysis were performed. A PPI network for the DEGs was then constructed to screen for hub genes, which were validated by three additional datasets. Subsequently, the potential miRNAs interacting with the hub genes were obtained through TarBase and miRNet. The differentially expressed lncRNAs (DElncRs) were obtained for subcellular localisation analysis, and the DElncRs located in the cytoplasm were further screened to identify miRNAs that interact with them. The shared miRNAs interacting with the hub genes and lncRNAs were used to construct a network of mRNA-miRNA-lncRNA interactions. Lastly, ROC analysis was performed to evaluate the potential diagnostic value of the hub genes and DElncRs identified. A total of 173 DEGs were obtained, mainly enriched in cytokines, chemokines, hair follicle development and hair cycle related signalling pathways. Through PPI screening and validation based on 3 additional datasets, 24 hub genes were finally yielded.

Additionally, 26 DElncRs were obtained, including 9 upregulated lncRNAs located in the cytoplasm that were predicted to interact with the miRNAs.

In this study, we investigated the effect of MPS on keratinocytes by subjecting adult human epidermal and three-dimensional cultured keratinocytes to MPS treatment, followed by transcriptome analysis. The analysis revealed that MPS treatment enhances keratinocyte differentiation and suppresses proliferation. We focused on amphiregulin (AREG), a membrane protein that belongs to the epidermal growth factor (EGF) family and possesses a heparin-binding domain, as a significant target among the genes altered by MPS. MPS exerted an inhibitory effect directly on AREG, rather than on EGF receptors or other members of the EGF family.

These values are based on various studies using different methodologies such as hair plucking, phototrichograms and histology. However, these methods have flaws when it comes to differentiating between catagen and telogen follicles. We sought to determine the catagen: telogen ratio through the ex vivo stereomicroscopic examination of hundreds of hair follicles removed from the occipital scalp of 14 Caucasian males during routine hair transplantation procedures. Using this methodology, and in agreement with a similar observation by another research group, we found that the percentage of catagen hair follicles was higher (7.5%) than telogen (3.5%) in all patients assessed.
