Intermediate filament–membrane attachments function synergistically with actin-dependent contacts to regulate intercellular adhesive strength [PDF]

, 2002
By tethering intermediate filaments (IFs) to sites of intercellular adhesion, desmosomes facilitate formation of a supercellular scaffold that imparts mechanical strength to a tissue.

Anti-Desmocollin Autoantibodies in Autoimmune Blistering Diseases

Frontiers in Immunology, 2021
The presence of anti-desmocollin (Dsc) antibodies is rarely described in autoimmune blistering diseases patients. Moreover, several clinical phenotypes of pemphigus may be associated with these antibodies.

Pemphigus—The Crux of Clinics, Research, and Treatment during the COVID-19 Pandemic

Biomedicines, 2021
Pemphigus is a rare autoimmune disease characterised by the production of pathogenic autoantibodies in response to different desmosome proteins. The pathophysiological process leads to the development of blisters and erosions on mucosal and/or skin ...

Expression of the FGFR2c mesenchymal splicing variant in human keratinocytes inhibits differentiation and promotes invasion [PDF]

, 2018
The altered isoform switching of the fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) and aberrant expression of the mesenchymal FGFR2c isoform in epithelial cells is involved in cancer progression.

Desmoglein-1, differentiation, and disease [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Investigation, 2013
Desmoglein-1 (DSG1), a desmosomal protein, maintains the structure of epidermis through its adhesive function. However, heterozygous mutations in DSG1 in humans result in abnormal differentiation, as does downregulation of DSG1 in human skin organ culture, suggesting that it may have important signaling functions. In this issue of the JCI, Harmon et al.

Electron microscopy of desmosomal structures in the pemphigus human skin organ culture model

Frontiers in Medicine, 2022
Pemphigus is a chronic autoimmune skin blistering disease, characterized by acantholysis and by the production of autoantibodies directed against the structural desmosomal proteins desmoglein 1 (DSG1) and/or DSG3.

Mutations in desmoglein-1 cause diverse inherited palmoplantar keratoderma phenotypes:implications for genetic screening [PDF]

, 2017
INTRODUCTION: The inherited palmoplantar keratodermas (PPKs) are a heterogeneous group of genodermatoses, characterised by thickening of the epidermis of the palms and soles. No classification system unites satisfactorily clinical presentation, pathology

Protease inhibitors prevent plasminogen-mediated, but not pemphigus vulgaris-induced, acantholysis in human epidermis [PDF]

, 2003
Pemphigus is an autoimmune blistering disease of the skin and mucous membranes. It is caused by autoantibodies directed against desmosomes, which are the principal adhesion structures between epidermal keratinocytes.

Differential Downregulation of E-Cadherin and Desmoglein by Epidermal Growth Factor

Dermatology Research and Practice, 2012
Modulation of cell : cell junctions is a key event in cutaneous wound repair. In this study we report that activation of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor disrupts cel : cell adhesion, but with different kinetics and fates for the desmosomal ...

Desmoglein 1 and Desmoglein 3 Are the Target Autoantigens in Herpetiform Pemphigus [PDF]

Archives of Dermatology, 1999
To determine the cell surface autoimmune target of herpetiform pemphigus (HP).Serum samples of HP were examined by immunoblot studies with human epidermal extracts, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay with baculovirus-expressed recombinant desmoglein (rDsg) 1 and rDsg3, and immunoadsorption assay with rDsg.Twenty serum samples were obtained from patients
