Abstract

Profilin-1 (PFN-1) is an actin-binding protein that regulates actin polymerization, cell proliferation, apoptosis, angiogenesis, and carcinogenesis. Its dysregulation has been reported in diverse pathologic diseases; however, the role of PFN-1 in psoriasis has not yet been elucidated. In this study, we demonstrate that PFN-1 expression is increased in both skin and serum of patients with psoriasis. PFN-1 was markedly expressed in the epidermis of psoriatic lesions and its expression positively correlated with psoriasis severity.
