Aim
To determine the changes in the gene expression profile associated with drug resistance in the culture of normal human dermal fibroblasts (NHDF) exposed to adalimumab or cyclosporine A compared to the controls. Material and
Conclusions
The analysis of changes in the expression of mRNA and miRNA related to drug resistance gives the possibility of monitoring the effectiveness of anti-cytokine therapy.
Material and methods
NHDF was exposed to adalimumab/cyclosporine A for 2, 8, 24 h compared to the control culture. Molecular analysis was performed using mRNA and miRNA microarray techniques. The obtained

Results
Of the 22277 ID mRNA, 47 are associated with drug resistance, of which the change in expression of 17 mRNA ID is statistically significant (p < 0.05). The greatest change in transcriptional activity (FC ≥ 1.3) was observed for GLO1, SLC10A3, TUFT1, STATH, ABCB1, AGTR1. Expression of these genes can be regulated by miR-199a-5p, miR-1231, miR-34a, miR-3188, and miR-106a (except AGTR1). Conclusions: The analysis of changes in the expression of mRNA and miRNA related to drug resistance gives the possibility of monitoring the effectiveness of anti-cytokine therapy.
