Abstract: It has been found that biomarkers play an important role in the pathogenesis of psoriatic arthritis (PsA) in recent years such as regulating T cells, NK cells, and the proliferation and differentiation of cells. Biomarkers can be used as markers for psoriatic arthritis diagnosis, disease activity, clinical typing and treatment response. The update of soluble biomarkers, cell biomarkers and genetic biomarkers in the pathogenesis of PsA is reviewed in this paper.

Key words: psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, biomarker
