This pilot study was aimed at comparing TLR7/TLR9 expression, cytoskeletal arrangement, and cell proliferation by indirect immunofluorescence in parallel lesional and non lesional skin samples of guttate psoriasis (PG) and psoriasis vulgaris (PV) in five male patients for each group (n=10). TLR7 expression was detected throughout all the epidermal compartment in PV samples, while in PG skin was restricted to the granular layer. TLR9 was present in the granular layer of non lesional skin and in the suprabasal layers of PV/PG lesional skin. Cell proliferation was localized in all the epidermal layers in lesional PG and PV, consistently with the immunopositivity for the “psoriatic keratin” K16. In the suprabasal layers of lesional PG and PV skin, a similar K17 expression was detected and K10 exhibited a patchy distribution. The present results suggest that TLR7 expression can be considered an intrinsic and differential histomorphological feature of PV.
