Background: Psoriasis is a common autoimmune skin disease, characterized by intense proliferation and abnormal differentiation of keratinocytes. Recently, some miRNAs have been proven to show aberrant expression in psoriasis and play a role in the pathogenesis of the disease. Objectives: The aim of this study was to detect serum and skin miR-369-3p levels in patients with psoriasis and confirm their correlation with disease severity. The regulatory mechanism between miR-369-3p and TNF-alpha was also investigated. Methods: Bioinformatics analysis for target genes of miRNAs was performed using multiple prediction software. Serum samples and skin tissues were collected and serum and skin miR-369-3p levels were measured. The Psoriasis Area Severity Index scores of patients and the correlation with serum and skin miR-369-3p levels were evaluated. Transient transfection and Elisa were applied to HaCaT cells to testify the relationship between expression of miR-369-3p and TNF-alpha. Results: Serum and skin miR-369-3p levels were both higher in patients with psoriasis than those in healthy controls (P
