Brief Summary: Psoriasis is a chronic relapsing cutaneous immune mediated inflammatory diseaseIMID In which there are skin lesions characterized by erythema thickness and scale formation with different size from a pinhead to 20 cm in diameter Prevalence of psoriasis is 2 to 4 worldwide Psoriasis occurs at any age with two peaks between 15-20 years and between 55-60 years Women are presented with psoriasis at younger age than men but with less severity lesions usually present on knee elbow scalp and sacral region this may be attributed to higher traumatic incident

Psoriasis vulgaris is the most common type and accounts 90 of cases Patients with psoriasis vulgaris present with pain itching and bleeding from skin lesions

There are many theories for psoriasis pathogenesis angiogenesis decrease in apoptosis of keratinocyte hyperproliferation alteration of cell to cell adhesion and immune-mediated inflammation

Patients with immune mediated inflammatory disease IMID are susceptible to develop diabetes mellitus metabolic syndrome hyperlipidemia and hypertensionA previous study found that psoriatic patients are more susceptible to type 2 diabetes compared to control

Glucose transporter type 1GLUT1 is upregulated in psoriatic patient attributed to angiogenesis and execessive cell proliferation in those patients Also expression of GLUT 1 is found high with hyperglycemia A study reported that GLUT 1 density in placenta of women with gestational diabetes was found to be two folds higher than control

Pigment epithelium derived factor PEDF has antiangiogenic effect Topical application of PEDF on mouse model of psoriatic disease helps in reduction of skin proliferation and angiogenesis

GLUT 1 overexpression was found to be associated with decrease in PEDF expression in diabetic retinopathy

In view of that we will compare the level of GLUT 1 gene in psoriatic patients and psoriatic patients with diabetes as well as healthy control and detect the effect of PEDF on GLUT 1 expression in vitro using human keratinocytes cell line
