Comparison of the Inflammatory Circuits in Psoriasis Vulgaris, Non‒Pustular Palmoplantar Psoriasis, and Palmoplantar Pustular Psoriasis

T-cell counts in NPPP. RNA sequencing and transcriptional analysis of skin biopsies showed enhanced IFN-γ pathway activation in NPPP lesions but stronger signatures of IL-17 pathway and neutrophil-related genes (e.g., IL36A) in PPPP lesional skin. Serum analysis on the Olink platform detected higher concentrations of T helper type 1, IFN-γ‒inducible chemokines in NPPP, and higher neutrophil-associated cytokines in PPPP. Taken together, this evidence suggests more pronounced T helper 1‒mediated inflammation in NPPP than in PV and PPPP and stronger neutrophil-associated activity in PPPP than in NPPP and PV. These data support targeting inflammatory pathways associated with neutrophilic inflammation (e.g., IL-36 signaling) for therapeutic development in PPPP.
