Foot-and-Mouth Disease Virus 3Cpro Cleaves BP180 to Induce Blister Formation

open access: yesViruses, 2022
Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is mainly characterized by blister formation (vesicles) in animals infected with foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV). However, the molecular basis of the blister formation in FMD is still unknown.

BP180 gene delivery in junctional epidermolysis bullosa [PDF]

open access: yesGene Therapy, 1999
Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) comprises a family of inherited blistering skin diseases for which current therapy is only palliative. Junctional EB (JEB) involves dissociation of the dermal-epidermal junction and results from mutations in a number of genes that encode vital structural proteins, including BP180 (type XVII collagen/BPAG2).

Autoreactive Peripheral Blood T Helper Cell Responses in Bullous Pemphigoid and Elderly Patients With Pruritic Disorders

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2021
Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is a prototypic autoimmune disorder of the elderly, characterized by serum IgG autoantibodies, namely anti-BP180 and anti-BP230, directed against components of the basal membrane zone that lead to sub-epidermal loss of adhesion ...

Bullous Pemphigoid in Children: Sustained 8-Year Remission After Short-Course Corticosteroid Therapy. [PDF]

open access: yesClin Case Rep
ABSTRACT This article reports a case of bullous pemphigoid (BP) in a 5‐year‐old child who achieved sustained remission for up to 8 years following short‐course systemic corticosteroid therapy, aiming to provide observational evidence for the clinical management of childhood BP. The child initially presented with pruritic rashes and blisters, which were

Rapid Disease Control in First-Line Therapy-Resistant Mucous Membrane Pemphigoid and Bullous Pemphigoid with Omalizumab as Add-On Therapy: A Case Series Of 13 Patients

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2022
The role of IgE autoantibodies has been demonstrated in the pathogenesis of bullous pemphigoid for many years. Recently, omalizumab (OMZ), a humanized monoclonal anti-IgE antibody that depletes total serum IgE, has been used off-label in a few case ...

BP180 dysfunction triggers spontaneous skin inflammation in mice [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2018
Significance BP180 is a cell–cell matrix adhesion molecule and is critical for attachment of epidermis to underlying dermis. We generated a dysfunctional BP180 mouse strain (Δ NC16A mice).

Insights Into the Pathogenesis of Bullous Pemphigoid: The Role of Complement-Independent Mechanisms

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2022
Bullous pemphigoid is an autoimmune blistering disease caused by autoantibodies targeting BP180 and BP230. While deposits of IgG and/or complement along the epidermal basement membrane are typically seen suggesting complement -mediated pathogenesis ...
