Objective The decrease of physiological apoptosis in the psoriatic lesions is thought to be involved in the pathogenesis of psoriasis, and induction of apoptosis was shown to contribute to the regression of psoriatic hyperplasia. In the present study, we compared the effects of calcipotriol and methylprednisolone aseponate (MPA) treatments on bcl-2, p53 and ki-67 expressions in psoriatic patients in order to define a relationship between regulation of apoptosis and healing process in psoriasis.
