Desmoglein directs differentiation [PDF]
Journal of Cell Biology, 2009 The cell adhesion protein desmoglein 1 (Dsg1) has an extra function in suppressing EGF receptor (EGFR) signaling, helping skin cells differentiate into the different layers of the epidermis, report [Getsios, Simpson, et al.][1] ![Figure][2] Activated EGFR (green) is only found in the ...

IgA pemphigus showing IgA antibodies to desmoglein 1 and 3
Dermatology Practical & Conceptual, 2016 Background: IgA pemphigus is a rare autoimmune vesiculo-pustular skin disease. Only approximately 70 cases have been reported to date. We report a case of IgA pemphigus with IgA antibodies to desmoglein 1 (Dsg1) and desmoglein 3 (Dsg3).

Multigene Next-Generation Sequencing Panel Identifies Pathogenic Variants in Patients with Unknown Subtype of Epidermolysis Bullosa: Subclassification with Prognostic Implications [PDF]
, 2017 Purpose: Epidermolysis bullosa (EB), the prototype of heritable blistering diseases, is caused by mutations in as many as 19 distinct genes. In this study, we evaluated the molecular basis of EB in 93 families, many of them of unknown subtype. Methods:

Lesions of pemphigus vulgaris on irradiated skin [PDF]
, 2009 Summary Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) is an autoimmune blistering disease produced by IgG autoantibodies against desmoglein (Dsg)3. Lesions on the skin and mucosa can, in rare cases, be induced by radiotherapy.

Expression of Desmoglein 1 Compensates for Genetic Loss of Desmoglein 3 in Keratinocyte Adhesion [PDF]
Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 2002 The desmoglein compensation hypothesis, namely that one desmoglein can compensate for loss of function of another, has been proposed to explain the tissue specificity of the autoantibody-induced loss of cell adhesion in pemphigus. To validate this hypothesis genetically, we used desmoglein-3 knockout mice (DSG3-/-) that lose their telogen hair ...

Pathophysiology of autoimmune bullous diseases: Nature versus nurture
Indian Journal of Dermatology, 2017 Pemphigus and pemphigoid are the prototypical immunobullous diseases. Although it has been well established that they are caused by deposition of autoreactive antibodies directed against adherence proteins within the skin, the specific genetic and ...

The role of nitric oxide synthases in pemphigus vulgaris in a mouse model [PDF]
, 2008 Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) is a blistering autoimmune disease characterized by IgG autoantibodies against desmoglein 3. Nitric oxide synthases (NOS) may contribute to the increase of inflammation in tissues by the generation of ...

Lots of autoantibodies equal lupus? [PDF]
, 2013 Autoantibodies may be found years before an autoimmune disease becomes clinically apparent. For systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), those to RNA-binding proteins, to phospholipids, and to double-stranded DNA, in particular, have been found in sera of SLE
