Abstract

The pathogenesis of psoriasis, an immune-mediated chronic inflammatory skin disease, remains unclear. Studies have shown an association between psoriasis and intestinal inflammation; in this context, the influence of the gut microbiota on the immune response of psoriasis has become a focus of recent research. The present research evaluated the composition and diversity of the gut microbiota of 21 participants with psoriasis from a Brazilian referral dermatology service compared to 24 healthy controls. A stool sample was collected from each participant at the time of inclusion in the study, and the samples were analysed by sequencing the 16S rRNA gene. The recruitment of research participants involved matching between groups by sex, age, body mass index, comorbidities and smoking and the exclusion of several criteria that could potentially influence the gut microbiota and the interpretation of the data. There was an increase in the Dialister genus and Prevotella copri species in patients with psoriasis compared to the control group. A reduction in the Ruminococcus, Lachnospira and Blautia genera, as well as in the Akkermansia muciniphila species, was also verified in the psoriasis group compared to the control group. Furthermore, patients with psoriasis exhibited less gut microbiota diversity than controls.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Probiotics have been investigated for their ability to alleviate irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) symptoms, and certain probiotic strains like Bifidobacterium infantis and Lactobacillus plantarum can reduce inflammation and restore gut barrier function in IBS patients.

    “Bloating, stomach discomfort, and constipation are all signs of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and probiotics have been investigated for their ability to alleviate these conditions. Inflammation can be reduced and gut barrier function can be restored in IBS patients by taking certain probiotic strains like Bifidobacterium infantis and Lactobacillus plantarum.”
  • SCFAs might boost the production of anti-inflammatory cytokines like interleukin-10 (IL-10) and encourage the formation of regulatory T cells (Tregs), resulting in a more normal immune response, which decreases inflammation and protects against autoimmune diseases.

    “SCFAs, for instance, might boost the production of anti-inflammatory cytokines like interleukin-10 (IL-10) and encourage the formation of regulatory T cells (Tregs). This results in a more normal immune response, which in turn decreases inflammation and protects against autoimmune diseases.”
  • Postbiotics can help the immune system learn to distinguish between innocuous and hazardous chemicals (immunological tolerance), preventing inappropriate immune responses to innocuous antigens and allergens by instructing the immune system and encouraging the growth of regulatory immune cells.

    “Postbiotics can help the immune system learn to distinguish between innocuous and hazardous chemicals, a process known as immunological tolerance. Postbiotics aid in preventing inappropriate immune responses to innocuous antigens and allergens by instructing the immune system and encouraging the growth of regulatory immune cells.”
  • Both probiotics and postbiotics have demonstrated positive results in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and disease severity and remission rates in people with ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease have been linked to the use of certain probiotics, such as Saccharomyces boulardii and Bifidobacterium breve.

  • The anti-inflammatory effects of postbiotics, especially short-chain fatty acids, are important in the regulation of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) symptoms.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
