Abstract EN
The antitumor effects of Huaier have been recently revealed.
However, no research has been conducted on the effects of Huaier on keratinocyte proliferation and for the treatment of psoriasis.
Hacat cells were treated with different concentrations of Huaier for different periods of times.
The effects on cell proliferation and vitality and on the cell cycle were detected.
Patients with mild-to-moderate psoriasis were randomized and divided into two groups in a double-blind manner.
The experimental group was given sugar-free Yinxie granules and Huaiqihuang (HQH) granules, and the control group was given sugar-free Yinxie granules and placebo.
After 4 weeks, various therapeutic indexes were compared.
Huaier significantly inhibited Hacat cell proliferation, suppressed vitality, and blocked the cell cycle in the G1 phase compared with the control group (P < 0.01, respectively).
After treatment for 4 weeks, the number of patients between the two groups that experienced a 50% reduction in the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI 50), PASI 75 and PASI 90, was significantly different (P <0.01).
The body surface area (BSA) affected by psoriasis and static physician’s global assessment (sPGA) was significantly reduced (P < 0.01); additionally, a significant improvement in the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) (P < 0.01) was observed.
Huaier has shown promising effects in both clinical and experimental setting in this preliminary study and it might provide some benefit in the treatment of psoriasis vulgaris in the future.
