To investigate the possible role of interleukin (IL)-10 and IL-12 in the pathogenesis of psoriatic lesions and to supply theoretical basis for the gene therapy for psoriasis, the expression of IL-10 and IL-12 P35, P40 mRNA in 12 cases of psoriatic lesions and 6 normal skin tissues was detected by using RT-PCR technique. The results showed that the expression of IL-10 mRNA in the psoriatic lesions was significantly lower than that in the normal skin tissues (P < 0.001). The expression of IL-12 P35 was positive both in the psoriatic lesions and in the normal skin tissues. IL-12 P40 mRNA was expressed positively only in the psoriatic lesions but negatively in the normal skin tissues. It was suggested that IL-12 might take an important role in the occurrence and progression of psoriasis, but IL-10 might have certain role in the regression of psoriasis.

D008297	Male		Males
D008875	Middle Aged	An adult aged 45 - 64 years.	Middle Age
D011565	Psoriasis	A common genetically determined, chronic, inflammatory skin disease characterized by rounded erythematous, dry, scaling patches. The lesions have a predilection for nails, scalp, genitalia, extensor surfaces, and the lumbosacral region. Accelerated epidermopoiesis is considered to be the fundamental pathologic feature in psoriasis.

D000328	Adult	A person having attained full growth or maturity. Adults are of 19 through 44 years of age. For a person between 19 and 24 years of age, YOUNG ADULT is available.	Adults
D012333	RNA, Messenger	RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.

D016753	Interleukin-10	A cytokine produced by a variety of cell types, including T-LYMPHOCYTES; MONOCYTES; DENDRITIC CELLS; and EPITHELIAL CELLS that exerts a variety of effects on immunoregulation and INFLAMMATION. Interleukin-10 combines with itself to form a homodimeric molecule that is the biologically active form of the protein.	IL-10,CSIF-10,Cytokine Synthesis Inhibitory Factor,IL10,Interleukin 10
D053762	Interleukin-12 Subunit p40	A cytokine subunit that is a component of both interleukin-12 and interleukin-23. It binds to the INTERLEUKIN-12 SUBUNIT P35 via a disulfide bond to form interleukin-12 and to INTERLEUKIN-23 SUBUNIT P19 to form interleukin-23.
