A Subset of Pemphigus Foliaceus Patients Exhibits Pathogenic Autoantibodies Against Both Desmoglein-1 and Desmoglein-3 [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Investigative Dermatology, 2002
In pemphigus vulgaris the major pathogenic antibody binds desmoglein-3, and mediates mucosal disease. Development of cutaneous disease is associated with acquisition of antibodies to desmoglein-1. In pemphigus foliaceus, and its endemic form, fogo selvagem by contrast, the major pathogenic antibody recognizes desmoglein-1 and mediates cutaneous disease

Case report: Documentation of cutaneous only pemphigus vulgaris without history of mucosal lesions in North America

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2022
BackgroundPemphigus is a group of autoimmune blistering diseases including Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) and Pemphigus foliaceus (PF). These conditions exhibit lesions with mucosal or mucocutaneous (PV) or cutaneous (PF) morphology, as framed by the Desmoglein

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

open access: yes, 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.

Damaged Keratin Filament Network Caused by KRT5 Mutations in Localized Recessive Epidermolysis Bullosa Simplex

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2021
Epidermolysis bullosa simplex (EBS) is a blistering dermatosis that is mostly caused by dominant mutations in KRT5 and KRT14. In this study, we investigated one patient with localized recessive EBS caused by novel homozygous c.1474T > C mutations in ...

Distinct impact of IgG subclass on autoantibody pathogenicity in different IgG4-mediated diseases

open access: yeseLife, 2022
IgG4 is the least potent human IgG subclass for the FcγR-mediated antibody effector function. Paradoxically, IgG4 is also the dominant IgG subclass of pathogenic autoantibodies in IgG4-mediated diseases.

Involvement of Nail Apparatus in Pemphigus Vulgaris in Ethnic Poles Is Infrequent

open access: yesFrontiers in Medicine, 2018
Pemphigus vulgaris lesions have a tendency to localize around natural body orifices. The aim here was to analyze the involvement of nail apparatus in pemphigus vulgaris.

The mapping of linear B-cell epitope regions in desmoglein 1 and 3 proteins : Recognition of immobilized peptides by pemphigus patients’ serum autoantibodies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Desmosomal transmembrane glycoproteins desmoglein 1and desmoglein 3 are targets of life-threatening autoimmune blistering disorders such as Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) and Pemphigus foliaceus(PF).

Sudden cardiac death in young athletes: Literature review of molecular basis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Intense athletic training and competition can rarely result in sudden cardiac death (SCD). Despite the introduction of pre-participation cardiovascular screening, especially among young competitive athletes, sport-related SCD remains a debated issue ...

Detection of anti-desmoglein antibodies in oral lichen planus: What do we know so far

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2022
Oral lichen planus (OLP) is an inflammatory disease of the oral mucosa. Clinically, two main subsets are described, namely non-erosive and erosive OLP. While non-erosive OLP is usually responsive to local therapies, erosive OLP is often refractory also ...
