چکیده
In just 10 years from its discovery in 2000, interleukin-23 has quickly moved from being recognized as a pro-inflammatory cytokine to a key player and potential therapeutic target in psoriasis.

A Review of Biologic Therapies Targeting IL-23 and IL-17 for Use in Moderate-to-Severe Plaque Psoriasis
• Interleukin (IL)-23 and IL-17 play an important role in the development of psoriasis. • Many of the new biologic drugs targeting IL-23 and IL-17 have been shown to be both safe and effective in treating moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis. Long-term safety data still need to be established. • These drugs are more selective with inhibition of " downstream " targets in the immunopathogenesis of...
متن کاملNew and emerging biologic therapies for moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis: mechanistic rationales and recent clinical data for IL-17 and IL-23 inhibitors
The development of effective and well-tolerated biologic therapies has advanced the management of psoriasis by enabling clinicians to treat underlying disease mechanisms. Biologics approved for the treatment of moderate-to-severe psoriasis include three tumor necrosis factor alpha inhibitors and an interleukin-12/interleukin-23 inhibitor. The establishment of the immunological basis of psoriasi...
متن کاملEmerging Therapies for the Treatment of Psoriasis
Psoriasis is an immune-mediated disease that affects 1%-2% of the European and North American population. While topical agents such as corticosteroids and vitamin D derivatives are prescribed for mild disease, they are generally unable to adequately control patients with more severe disease. Over the past decade, research into the immunopathogenesis of psoriasis, including investigations into t...
متن کاملSerum Levels of IL-10 and IL-22 Cytokines in Patients with Psoriasis
Background: As a chronic inflammatory condition, psoriasis results from an interaction between genetic and immunologic factors in a predisposing environment. In spite of compelling evidence for the role of T cells and cytokines in psoriasis, interleukin (IL)- 10 and IL-22 have not been sufficiently investigated. Objective: To assess the serum levels of IL-10 and IL-22 in patients with psori...
