Observational study on Swedish plaque psoriasis patients receiving narrowband-UVB treatment show decreased S100A8/A9 protein and gene expression levels in lesional psoriasis skin but no effect on S100A8/A9 protein levels in serum

S100A8 and S100A9 proteins are highly upregulated in patients with psoriasis and have been proposed as potential biomarkers for psoriasis. The present study was designed to analyze the effect of narrowband ultraviolet B therapy on these proteins. S100A8, S100A9 gene expression and S100A8/A9 heterocomplex protein levels were analyzed in lesional and non-lesional skin before and after narrowband-UVB
