Evaluation of desmoglein 1 and desmoglein 3 autoantibodies in oral cancer: A pilot study
Background: Carcinogenesis is a complex multistep process involving alterations at the cellular level. Alteration in cell-to-cell adhesion of oral epithelium plays an important role in carcinogenesis and metastasis.

Detection of Autoantibodies against Recombinant Desmoglein 1 and 3 Molecules in Patients with Pemphigus vulgaris: Correlation with Disease Extent at the Time of Diagnosis and during Follow-Up [PDF]
The recent availability of cDNA clones for pemphigus antigens has allowed the production of recombinant desmoglein 1 and desmoglein 3 molecules and the development of an ELISA approach in order to determine levels of antibodies to them.

IgA pemphigus showing IgA antibodies to desmoglein 1 and 3 [PDF]
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).

Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) is an autoimmune blistering disease elicited by anti-desmoglein (DsG) 3 antibody. Although skin lesions tend to be distributed over the entire body, in some patients, they are confined to a restricted area.

Epithelial barrier dysfunction in desmoglein-1 deficiency [PDF]
Mutations in the desmoplakin (DSP) and desmoglein-1 (DSG1) genes have been implicated in patients with the inherited inflammatory skin disease known as severe dermatitis, multiple allergies, and metabolic wasting (SAM) syndrome (MIM#603165, see Tables E1 and E2 in this article's Online Repository at www.jacionline.org).1, 2 The DSP and DSG1 genes ...

Desmoglein-1, differentiation, and disease [PDF]
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.

Pemphigus Foliaceus Autoantibodies Induce Redistribution Primarily of Extradesmosomal Desmoglein 1 in the Cell Membrane [PDF]
The autoimmune dermatosis pemphigus foliaceus (PF) is predominantly caused by IgG autoantibodies against the desmosomal cadherin desmoglein (Dsg) 1. The exact mechanisms that lead to the characteristic epidermal blistering are not yet fully understood ...
