Altered erythrocyte membrane phosphorylation in psoriasis.

R Kumar, V C Weiss, D P West

    The British Journal of Dermatology
    |September 1, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary

    Erythrocyte membranes from psoriatic patients show reduced 32P incorporation, indicating defective plasma membranes in psoriasis and other skin disorders. This suggests a generalized membrane defect in these conditions.

    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Dermatology
    • Cell Biology

    Background:

    • Altered epidermal plasma membranes are implicated in psoriasis pathogenesis.
    • Understanding erythrocyte membrane alterations may provide insights into systemic disease mechanisms.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare erythrocyte membrane autophosphorylation in psoriatic patients versus controls.
    • To investigate potential plasma membrane defects in psoriasis and other skin disorders.

    Main Methods:

    • Autophosphorylation of erythrocyte membranes using [gamma-32P]ATP.
    • Analysis of protein phosphorylation patterns via polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.

    Main Results:

    • Psoriatic membranes exhibited significantly reduced 32P incorporation in band 2 compared to controls.

  • Decreased phosphorylation was also observed in bands 2.9-3 and 4.5-4.8 in psoriasis and other skin diseases.
  • A novel polypeptide band (18-20,000 daltons) appeared in diseased states.

    • Conclusions:

    • Findings suggest defective erythrocyte plasma membranes in psoriatic patients.
    • The observed membrane alterations may represent a generalized phenomenon in psoriasis and other skin disorders.
    • These results contribute to understanding the molecular basis of psoriasis.
