description Psoriasis is the most common autoimmune disease, yet its pathophysiology is not fully understood. It is now believed that psoriasis is caused by the increased activation of immune cells, especially Th1 lymphocytes. However, in psoriasis, immune cells interfere with the metabolism of keratinocytes, leading to their increased activation. Therefore, the pathophysiology of psoriasis is currently associated with the overproduction of ROS, which are involved in the activation of immune cells and keratinocytes as well as the modulation of various signaling pathways within them. Nevertheless, ROS modulate the immune system by also boosting the increasing generation of various lipid mediators, such as products of lipid peroxidation as well as endocannabinoids and prostaglandins. In psoriasis, the excessive generation of ROS and lipid mediators is observed in different immune cells, such as granulocytes, dendritic cells, and lymphocytes. All of the above may be activated by ROS and lipid mediators, which leads to inflammation. Nevertheless, ROS and lipid mediators regulate lymphocyte differentiation in favor of Th1 and may also interact directly with keratinocytes, which is also observed in psoriasis. Thus, the analysis of the influence of oxidative stress and its consequences for metabolic changes, including lipidomic ones, in psoriasis may be of diagnostic and therapeutic importance.
