Erythrokeratodermia‐Cardiomyopathy Syndrome: Expanding the DSP Mutational Spectrum Beyond Proline Substitutions

open access: yesPediatric Dermatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Erythrokeratodermia cardiomyopathy (EKC) syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant disorder characterized by generalized erythrokeratoderma and progressive dilated cardiomyopathy, caused by pathogenic variants in the SR6 domain of desmoplakin (DSP).

Desmoglein 2 is less important than desmoglein 3 for keratinocyte cohesion. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Desmosomes provide intercellular adhesive strength required for integrity of epithelial and some non-epithelial tissues. Within the epidermis, the cadherin-type adhesion molecules desmoglein (Dsg) 1-4 and desmocollin (Dsc) 1-3 build the adhesive core of ...

The 'Spectraplakins': cytoskeletal giants with characteristics of both spectrin and plakin families [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Recent studies have characterised a family of giant cytoskeletal crosslinkers encoded by the short stop gene in Drosophila and the dystonin/BPAG1 and MACF1 genes in mammals.

PLK4 is a potential therapeutic target in nonmelanoma skin cancers: Evidence from molecular and in vivo studies

open access: yesPhotochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
Exposure to solar ultraviolet radiation is the main etiologic driver of nonmelanoma skin cancers (NMSCs), including basal cell (BCC) and cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas (cSCC), which are the most prevalent types of cancers in the US. In this study, we demonstrate that the serine/threonine kinase Polo‐like kinase 4 (PLK4) is overexpressed in NMSCs ...

CSPP-L Associates with the Desmosome of Polarized Epithelial Cells and Is Required for Normal Spheroid Formation. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Deleterious mutations of the Centrosome/Spindle Pole associated Protein 1 gene, CSPP1, are causative for Joubert-syndrome and Joubert-related developmental disorders.

A keratin scaffold regulates epidermal barrier formation, mitochondrial lipid composition, and activity. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Keratin intermediate filaments (KIFs) protect the epidermis against mechanical force, support strong adhesion, help barrier formation, and regulate growth.

Hypothesis: Ephrin–Eph Signaling Pathways Provide Novel Targets for Accelerated Re‐Epithelialization of Cutaneous Wounds

open access: yesBioEssays, Volume 48, Issue 1, January 2026.
In distal limb wounds on the horse, the proliferative phase of repair often produces excessive granulation tissue that delays healing by impeding keratinocyte migration from wound margins. This essay examines the basis for the hypothesis that ephrin–Eph signaling pathways that stimulate keratinocyte migration provide novel targets for re‐establishing ...

Distinct molecular signature of phospholamban p.Arg14del arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Phospholamban (PLN) p.Arg14del cardiomyopathy is characterized by a distinct arrhythmogenic biventricular phenotype that can be predominantly left ventricular, right ventricular, or both.

Collagen XV preserves heart function and protects from pathological remodelling after myocardial infarction

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 2, Page 418-442, January 2026.
We analysed collagen XV expression in myocardial infarct samples and assessed how its deficiency affects cardiac responses, such as fibrogenesis and tissue stiffness. In mice, damage caused by myocardial infarction is exacerbated in the absence of collagen XV and leads to pathological remodelling and more severe left ventricle dysfunction (left panel ...

A case for genetic testing: Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy presenting as myocarditis

open access: yesAnnals of Pediatric Cardiology
Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM) is an inherited cardiomyopathy associated with fibrofatty tissue replacement of the ventricular tissue. The disease can cause ventricular dysfunction and arrhythmias and can increase the risk of sudden cardiac death ...
