Abstract:
The skin is a complex and dynamic organ where homeostasis is maintained through the intricate interplay between the immune system and metabolism, particularly cholesterol metabolism. Various factors such as cytokines, inflammatory mediators, cholesterol metabolites, and metabolic enzymes play crucial roles in facilitating these interactions. Dysregulation of this delicate balance contributes to the pathogenic pathways of inflammatory skin conditions, notably psoriasis. In this article, we provide an overview of omics biomarkers associated with psoriasis in relation to cholesterol metabolism. We explore multi-omics approaches that reveal the communication between immunometabolism and psoriatic inflammation. Additionally, we summarize the use of multi-omics strategies to uncover the complexities of multifactorial and heterogeneous inflammatory diseases. Finally, we highlight potential future perspectives related to targeted drug therapies and research areas that can advance precise medicine. This review aims to serve as a valuable resource for those investigating the role of cholesterol metabolism in psoriasis.
