“…Recently, we have performed gene expression profiling, phenotypic, and functional studies on MSCs from patients with psoriasis in vitro . Our experiments preliminarily revealed that bone marrow MSCs derived from patients with psoriasis secreted increased levels of cytokines, such as stem cell factor, granulocyte colony‐stimulating factor, and IL‐6 and decreased levels of TNF‐ α , IL‐1, IL‐3, leukemia inhibitory factor, hepatocyte growth factor, and platelet‐derived growth factor, which confirm the immunomodulatory effects of bone marrow MSCs. Based on our previous microarray analysis, platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule‐1 ( PECAM1 ), facio‐genital dysplasia‐5 ( FGD5 ), prostaglandin–endoperoxide synthase‐1 ( PTGS1 ), melanoma cell adhesion molecule ( MCAM ), vasohibin‐2 ( VASH 2), and stabilin‐1 ( STAB 1 ) were significantly decreased in psoriatic DMSCs (data were deposited under NCBI GEO GSE42632).…”
