Desmoplakin cardiomyopathy: case report. [PDF]
Abstract Background Desmoplakin (DSP) cardiomyopathy is a distinct form of cardiomyopathy characterized by frequent left ventricular involvement with extensive fibrosis, high arrhythmic risk, and episodes of acute myocardial injury. Case summary

Desmosomal Junctions and Connexin-43 Remodeling in High-Pacing-Induced Heart Failure Dogs
Background: While desmosomal junctions and gap junction remodeling are among the arrhythmogenic substrates, the fate of desmosomal and gap junctions in high-pacing-induced heart failure remains unclear. This aim of this study was to determine the fate of

Desmoplakin interacts with the coil 1 of different types of intermediate filament proteins and displays high affinity for assembled intermediate filaments. [PDF]
The interaction of intermediate filaments (IFs) with the cell-cell adhesion complexes desmosomes is crucial for cytoskeletal organization and cell resilience in the epidermis and heart.

Cortical tension regulates desmosomal morphogenesis
Mechanical stability is a fundamental and essential property of epithelial cell sheets. It is in large part determined by cell-cell adhesion sites that are tightly integrated by the cortical cytoskeleton.

Genetic deletion of the desmosomal component desmoplakin promotes tumor microinvasion in a mouse model of pancreatic neuroendocrine carcinogenesis. [PDF]
We used the RIP1-Tag2 (RT2) mouse model of islet cell carcinogenesis to profile the transcriptome of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNET) that were either non-invasive or highly invasive, seeking to identify pro- and anti-invasive molecules ...

A novel tool for arrhythmic risk stratification in desmoplakin gene variant carriers. [PDF]
Background and Aims Pathogenic desmoplakin (DSP) gene variants are associated with the development of a distinct form of arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy known as DSP cardiomyopathy.

AIM Mutations in the DSP gene encoding desmoplakin, a constituent of the desmosomes at the intercalated discs (IDs), cause a phenotype that spans arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM) and dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM).

Left‐dominant arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy due to desmoplakin mutation: a case report
The case of a 49‐year‐old man with acute onset of heart failure is presented. The initial work‐up showed a dilated cardiomyopathy with severely reduced left ventricular ejection fraction.
