Psoriasis (PSO) is a chronic and systemic inflammatory autoimmune disease associated with atherosclerosis and myocardial infarction. Given that atherosclerosis is both inflammation and immune driven, we sought to expand on known immune and inflammatory biomarkers in a PSO cohort. In this study, we focus on oxidized mtDNA (ox-mtDNA), a product of cells undergoing pyroptosis, including keratinocytes, which was quantified in patients with PSO and individuals without PSO by ELISA. Patients with PSO had significantly higher ox-mtDNA levels than healthy subjects (mean ± SD = 9246 ± 2518 pg/ml for patients with PSO vs 7382 ± 2506 pg/ml for those without; P = .006). Importantly, ox-mtDNA was positively associated with IL-17a (β = 0.25; P = .03) and low-density granulocytes (β = 0.37; P = .005) but negatively associated with high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (β = −0.29; P = .006). After adjusting for traditional cardiovascular risk factors, we found that ox-mtDNA was associated with noncalcified coronary burden, which was measured by coronary computed tomography angiography (β = 0.19; P = .003). Biologic-naïve patients with PSO receiving anti–IL-17a therapy had a 14% decrease in ox-mtDNA (mean ± SD: 10540 ± 614 pg/ml at baseline to 9016 ± 477 pg/ml at 1 year; P = .016) and a 10% reduction in noncalcified coronary artery burden (mean ± SD: 1.06 ± 0.45 at baseline, reducing to 0.95 ± 0.35 at 1 year; P = .0037). In summary, levels of ox-mtDNA in PSO are associated with measures of coronary plaque formation, indicating that this biomarker may be an autoimmune-driven early atherosclerotic feature. |
