Abstrakt: Background: Retinol binding protein 4 (RBP4) is a mediator of inflammation and related to skin lesion formation, which suggests its engagement in psoriasis pathology and progression. This study intended to explore the change in RBP4 after systemic treatments, and its ability to predict treatment response in psoriasis patients.
Methods: This prospective study enrolled 85 psoriasis patients and 20 healthy subjects. Plasma RBP4 was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay at baseline and 12th week (W12) after systemic treatments in psoriasis patients, as well as after enrollment in healthy subjects. Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) 75 and PASI 90 were evaluated at W12 in psoriasis patients.
Results: RBP4 at baseline was higher in psoriasis patients than in healthy subjects [median (interquartile range): 13.39 (9.71-22.92) versus 9.59 (6.57-13.72) µg/mL] (P = 0.003). In psoriasis patients, 50 (58.8%) patients achieved PASI 75 at W12, and 25 (29.4%) patients achieved PASI 90 at W12. RBP4 was decreased at W12 compared to its level at baseline (P < 0.001). Lower RBP4 at baseline predicted achieving PASI 75 at W12 (P = 0.038). Greater RBP4 change (baseline-W12) precited achieving PASI 75 (P = 0.036) and PASI 90 (P = 0.045) at W12. Receiver operating characteristic curves suggested that after adjustment for all clinical features, RBP4 at baseline and RBP4 change (baseline-W12) had an acceptable ability to predict PASI 75 and PASI 90 at W12 with all area under curve values > 0.7.
Conclusion: Plasma RBP4 is decreased after systemic treatments, and its low baseline level and greater decline after treatments predict good treatment response in psoriasis patients.
