| Summary: | Background: Psoriasis is a prevalent skin disease affecting approximately 1%–3% of the population and imposes significant medical, social and economic burdens. Psoriasis involves multiple organs and is often complicated with obesity, diabetes, dyslipidemia, and hypertension. Because of the benefits of lipid-lowering agents and antidiabetic medications for psoriasis, metabolic abnormalities possibly play a pathogenic role in psoriasis.Objective: This review focuses on the impacts of a variety of metabolic disorders on psoriasis and the underlying mechanisms.Results: In psoriasis, enhanced glycolysis, glutamine metabolism and altered fatty acid composition in the psoriatic lesion and plasma result in the excessive proliferation of keratinocytes and secretion of inflammatory cytokines. Altered metabolism is associated with the activation of MTORC signaling pathway and transcription factors such as HIF and S6K1. Therefore, MTORC1 can be a target for the treatment of psoriasis. Additionally, there are diabetes drugs and lipid-lowering drugs including TZDs, GLP-1 RAs, Metformin, statins and fibrates, which improve both metabolic levels and psoriasis symptoms. |
