Immunoregulatory complement receptor-1 and leukocyte-associated Ig-like receptor-1 expression on leukocytes in Psoriasis vulgaris.

ABSTRACT: Psoriasis vulgaris (PsV) is an immune-mediated inflammatory disorder with devastating psychosocial consequences. Expression of immunoregulator molecules on leukocytes in PsV remains unclear. Leukocyte-associated Ig-like receptor-1 (LAIR-1) and complement receptor-1 (CR-1) are immunoregulator receptors reported to bind complement component 1q involved in phagocytosis. We aimed to explore if altered leukocyte expression of LAIR-1 and CR-1 is associated with PsV. This case-control study included 36 PsV patients and 36 healthy controls. Neutrophils, monocytes and B and T cells were examined by flow cytometry for LAIR-1 and CR-1 mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) and positive cell percentage. Comparison between both groups revealed a significant decrease in LAIR-1 MFI on neutrophils and T cells (P?P?=?0.003, respectively). CR-1 MFI on neutrophils, monocytes and T cells also showed a significant decrease in patients (P?=?0.033, P?=?0.001 and P?=?0.040, respectively). There was a significant positive correlation of LAIR-1 MFI on neutrophils with CR-1 MFI on neutrophils (r?=?0.503; P?=?0.002) and LAIR-1 MFI on monocytes with CR-1 MFI on monocytes (r?=?0.371; P?=?0.026). Receiver operating characteristic curves revealed that CR-1 MFI on monocytes had the highest discrimination power to differentiate patients from controls, with 86.1% specificity and 75% sensitivity (P?=?0.001). In conclusion, altered leukocytes expression of LAIR-1 and CR-1 is associated with PsV. Down-regulated CR-1 MFI on monocytes is a promising diagnostic biomarker for PsV.
