12-0-Tetradecanoyl phorbol-13-acetate induced differentiation in human lung squamous carcinoma cells. [PDF]
Three human lung squamous carcinoma cell lines (NX002, CX140 and CX143) demonstrate features of squamous differentiation including involucrin synthesis and competence to form cornified envelopes.

Paraneoplastic pemphigus: insight into the autoimmune pathogenesis, clinical features and therapy [PDF]
Paraneoplastic pemphigus is a rare autoimmune skin disease that is always associated with a neoplasm. Usually, oral, skin, and mucosal lesions are the earliest manifestations shown by paraneoplastic pemphigus patients.

Around one-third of patients diagnosed with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) turn out to be familial cases, in only a few of which the identification of a pathogenic/likely pathogenic variant could be achieved. Cardiomyopathy caused by desmoplakin

Striatins as plaque molecules of zonulae adhaerentes in simple epithelia, of tessellate junctions in stratified epithelia, of cardiac composite junctions and of various size classes of lateral adherens junctions in cultures of epithelia- and carcinoma-derived cells [PDF]
Proteins of the striatin family (striatins 1–4; sizes ranging from 90 to 110 kDa on SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis) are highly homologous in their amino acid sequences but can differ in their cell-type-specific gene expression patterns and ...

Mutations in the genes encoding desmosomal proteins cause a wide range of diseases associated with abnormalities of the skin, hair and heart. In 45-50% these mutations determine the development of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy.

Cell-cell adhesions and cell contractility are upregulated upon desmosome disruption. [PDF]
Desmosomes are perturbed in a number of disease states - including genetic disorders, autoimmune and bacterial diseases. Here, we report unexpected changes in other cell-cell adhesion structures upon loss of desmosome function. We found that perturbation

Syntenin-1 is a promoter and prognostic marker of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma invasion and metastasis. [PDF]
Metastasis represents a key factor associated with poor prognosis of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC). However, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain largely unknown. In this study, our liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry
