Implications of normal and disordered remodeling dynamics of corneodesmosomes in stratum corneum

open access: yesDermatologica Sinica, 2015
Desmosomes and corneodesmosomes are the most important adhering junctions, providing strength for the epidermal sheet structure made of living keratinocytes and enucleated stratum corneum corneocytes, respectively.

Lesions of pemphigus vulgaris on irradiated skin [PDF]

open access: yes, 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.

Dysregulated proteolytic cascades in Netherton syndrome: from molecular pathology to preclinical drug testing

open access: yesThe Journal of Pathology, EarlyView.
Abstract Netherton syndrome (NS) is a rare, severe, and often life‐threatening disease for which current therapeutic approaches are limited and show variable effectiveness. NS is characterized by excessive epidermal desquamation that results in a highly defective epidermal barrier, constitutive skin inflammation, allergies, and hair abnormalities.

Multigene Next-Generation Sequencing Panel Identifies Pathogenic Variants in Patients with Unknown Subtype of Epidermolysis Bullosa: Subclassification with Prognostic Implications [PDF]

open access: yes, 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:

Anti‐desmoglein‐2 autoantibodies do not discriminate between UK boxer dogs with and without arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy

open access: yesVeterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Evidence regarding the diagnostic utility of serum anti‐desmoglein‐2 (DSG2) autoantibodies for arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) in boxer dogs is conflicting. Methods Prospective standardised evaluation of apparently healthy boxer dogs for ARVC was performed at three referral centres, including blood pressure ...

Desmoglein ELISA in the Diagnosis of Pemphigus and Its Correlation with the Severity of Pemphigus Vulgaris

open access: yesIranian Journal of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, 2009
Anti-desmoglein 3 and 1 autoantibodies are involved in the pathogenesis of pemphigus diseases. Our objective was to assess the value of ELISA in the diagnosis of pemphigus and its correlation with the severity of pemphigus vulgaris.

Lots of autoantibodies equal lupus? [PDF]

open access: yes, 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

The role of nitric oxide synthases in pemphigus vulgaris in a mouse model [PDF]

open access: yes, 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 ...

Obesity Impairs Skin Barrier Function and Facilitates Allergic Sensitization in Mice

open access: yesAllergy, EarlyView.
Diet‐induced obesity increases transepidermal water loss and compromises barrier function through downregulation of tight junctions and desmosomes. During obesity, MC903 elicits a mixed Th1/2/17 immune response in the skin leading to aggravated ear swelling.
