The phospholipid pattern in the involved and the uninvolved psoriatic epidermis. 1979

D Tsambaos, and G Mahrle

The phospholipid pattern of the involved and the uninvolved epidermis from 48 psoriatic patients and of the normal epidermis from 23 healthy controls was determined by thin-layer chromatography. A higher amount of total phospholipids was found only in the involved psoriatic epidermis, whereas significant alterations in the phospholipid pattern were observed in the psoriatic lesion and in the lesion-free epidermis. Namely, the decrease of phosphatidylserine and the increase of phosphatidylinositol were identically present in both the involved and the uninvolved psoriatic epidermis. It seems likely that these alterations in the phospholipid pattern in psoriasis may be related to subclinical alterations of the epidermis in this disease.

D010716	Phosphatidylinositols	Derivatives of phosphatidic acids in which the phosphoric acid is bound in ester linkage to the hexahydroxy alcohol, myo-inositol. Complete hydrolysis yields 1 mole of glycerol, phosphoric acid, myo-inositol, and 2 moles of fatty acids.

D010743	Phospholipids	Lipids containing one or more phosphate groups, particularly those derived from either glycerol (phosphoglycerides see GLYCEROPHOSPHOLIPIDS) or sphingosine (SPHINGOLIPIDS). They are polar lipids that are of great importance for the structure and function of cell membranes and are the most abundant of membrane lipids, although not stored in large amounts in the system.	Phosphatides,Phospholipid
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.

D002855	Chromatography, Thin Layer	Chromatography on thin layers of adsorbents rather than in columns. The adsorbent can be alumina, silica gel, silicates, charcoals, or cellulose.

D004817	Epidermis	The external, nonvascular layer of the skin. It is made up, from within outward, of five layers of EPITHELIUM: (1) basal layer (stratum basale epidermidis); (2) spinous layer (stratum spinosum epidermidis); (3) granular layer (stratum granulosum epidermidis); (4) clear layer (stratum lucidum epidermidis); and (5) horny layer (stratum corneum epidermidis).
