Psoriasis and obesity, while distinct, are inter-related inflammatory conditions. Adipose tissue (AT)-derived mediators could be pathogenically active in triggering and/or amplifying psoriatic skin inflammation and, vice versa, skin inflammation could drive increased adiposity that triggers the development of several chronic conditions. Gaining insight into their intricate relationship could be essential for effective management and treatment.

Background/objectives: Psoriasis is a chronic dermatological condition with systemic implications, especially with metabolic syndrome (MS). This study evaluated the vicious cycle where obesity and MS exacerbate systemic inflammation that complicates the efficacy of psoriasis therapies by examining the PASI score over a one-year period. Patients were classified into two subgroups: those with psoriasis alone (PSO) and those with both psoriasis and metabolic syndrome (PSO-MS).

However, its role in these conditions remains poorly defined. Here we show that K16 negatively regulates type-I interferon (IFN) signaling and innate immune responses.

Parvovirus B19 (B19V) is a human pathogen from the Parvoviridae family that primarily targets and replicates in erythroid progenitor cells (EPCs). While its symptoms are typically self-limiting in healthy individuals, B19V can cause or exacerbate autoimmune diseases in vulnerable patients. This review integrates the involvement of B19V in the development and worsening of several autoimmune diseases, including systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), hematological disorders (thalassemia, anemia, and thrombocytopenia), vasculitis, antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), dermatological disease (systemic sclerosis, psoriasis), autoimmune thyroid disease, myocarditis, and myasthenia gravis, and autoinflammatory disease of adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD).

Biological drugs are extensively used to treat various inflammatory diseases, including psoriasis, atopic dermatitis (AD), and rheumatoid arthritis. While generally effective and safe, these therapies have been increasingly associated with secondary development of vitiligo, especially with anti-TNF α and anti-IL17 drugs. Dupilumab, an IL-4 receptor alpha antagonist used in moderate to severe AD, rarely induces vitiligo.
