Tumour necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) is a cytokine member of the tumour necrosis factor (TNF) family. Its role has been investigated in skin cancers and some inflammatory and/or immune-mediated skin diseases. An involvement of TRAIL in psoriasis pathogenesis has recently been hypothesized. We investigated the expression and localization of TRAIL and its receptors in psoriatic skin and measured serum TRAIL. The intracellular pathways activated by TRAIL were assessed to investigate its potential role in the pathogenesis of psoriasis.

Abstract
Tumour necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) is a cytokine member of the tumour necrosis factor (TNF) family. Its role has been investigated in skin cancers and some inflammatory and/or immune-mediated skin diseases. An involvement of TRAIL in psoriasis pathogenesis has recently been hypothesized. We investigated the expression and localization of TRAIL and its receptors in psoriatic skin and measured serum TRAIL. The intracellular pathways activated by TRAIL were assessed to investigate its potential role in the pathogenesis of psoriasis.File in questo prodotto:
