The dysfunction of BP180/collagen XVII in keratinocytes promotes melanoma progression [PDF]
BP180, also termed collagen XVII, is a hemidesmosomal transmembrane glycoprotein expressed in basal keratinocytes, and functions as a cell-matrix adhesion molecule in the dermal-epidermal junction of the skin.

Preferential Reactivity of Dipeptidyl Peptidase-IV Inhibitor-Associated Bullous Pemphigoid Autoantibodies to the Processed Extracellular Domains of BP180 [PDF]
Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is a common autoimmune blistering disease in which autoantibodies target the hemidesmosomal components BP180 and/or BP230 in basal keratinocytes.

Cloning and Primary Structural Analysis of the Bullous Pemphigoid Autoantigen BP180 [PDF]
Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is an autoimmune skin disease that is characterized by the presence of subepidermal blisters resulting from a disruption of the adhesive interactions between basal keratinocytes and the cutaneous basement membrane.

The significance of preclinical anti-BP180 autoantibodies
Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is the most common autoimmune subepidermal blistering disease. Although the pathomechanism of BP onset has yet to be elucidated in detail, BP autoantibodies targeting two hemidesmosomal components, BP180 and BP230, are known to play a pivotal role in BP pathogenesis.

Analysis of the autoimmune response against BP180 in patients with Alzheimer’s disease [PDF]
Current epidemiological studies suggest a significant correlation between Alzheimer's disease (AD) and bullous pemphigoid (BP). However, the autoimmune response against BP180 in patients with AD has not been fully understood. investigated.We randomly enrolled 48 patients with AD and 50 sex- and age-matched healthy controls.

BP180 Is a Prognostic Factor in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma [PDF]
Prognosis plays a vital role in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) patient management and decision-making. This study aimed to identify the role of BP180 as a prognostic factor in HNSCC.Protein expression of bullous pemphigoid antigen II (BP180) was verified by immunohistochemistry (IHC) in a tissue microarray study of 202 cases.IHC analysis

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 ...

A role for anti‐BP180 autoantibodies in chronic rhinosinusitis [PDF]
Objectives/HypothesisChronic Rhinosinusitis (CRS) is accompanied by evidence of a vigorous adaptive immune response, and emerging studies demonstrate that some nasal polyps manifest a polyclonal autoantibody response. We previously found that antibodies against BP180, a component of the hemidesmosome complex and the dominant epitope in autoimmune ...

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 ...

Super‐resolution imaging detects BP180 autoantigen in immunoglobulin M pemphigoid [PDF]
Bullous pemphigoid is generally caused by immunoglobulin (Ig)G autoantibodies against hemidesmosomal BP180 and/or BP230. Recently, the concept of IgM pemphigoid has been proposed.
