The effect of etanercept on hepatic fibrosis risk in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, metabolic syndrome, and psoriasis

Abstract: In patients with psoriasis, metabolic syndrome, and NAFLD, the risk of the development of hepatic fibrosis seems to be directly correlated with insulin resistance. Etanercept could be more efficacious to reduce the risk of developing hepatic fibrosis than PUVA therapy, and this preventive effect could be related to its anti-inflammatory and glucose homeostatic properties. We note that a limitation of the study was that the diagnosis of NAFLD was conducted by ultrasonography.

“…However, Dominguez and coworkers revealed only benefit on b-cell function with etanercept treatment, suggesting that it may not be a valuable treatment for NAFLD. However, others found that etanercept reduced the risk of developing hepatic fibrosis in patients with MetS (Campanati et al, 2013). In this study, patients with psoriasis, which are at risk of developing NAFLD and MetS probably because of underlying insulin resistance, were treated with etanercept and compared to patients treated with UVA.…”

“…The group receiving etanercept showed significant reductions in transaminases, CRP and fasting insulin levels, and improved HOMA index, indicating that etanercept may be efficacious in reducing the development of NAFLD and MetS in patients with psoriasis. However, there were some limitations in this study, such as the diagnosis of NAFLD, which was done by ultrasonography (Campanati et al, 2013).…”

“…Epidermal hyperproliferation, abnormal keratinocyte differentiation, angiogenesis and activated CD4 + and CD8 + T-cell infiltrates in the dermis and epidermis are the most common detectable histologic features in psoriasis [25] . The pathogenesis of psoriasis is characterized by the involvement of both innate and adaptive immunity.…”

“…Ustekinumab is not associated with weight gain in patients with chronic plaque psoriasis [49]. The effects of TNF-α inhibitors therapy on insulin sensitivity are controversial [50,51]. The effects of anti-TNFs on glycaemic parameters and insulin resistance in patients with psoriasis have been addressed mostly in small studies by means of the HOMA and the Quantitative Insulin Sensitivity Check Index (QUICKI], two widely used non-invasive surrogate markers of insulin resistance and sensitivity, respectively.…”
