Hypoxia and the cytoskeleton

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Schematic outlining the activation of hypoxia‐sensitive pathways, the influence of hypoxia and associated pathways on the cytoskeleton, and the impact of these on disease progression. Abstract A highly‐regulated and dynamic cytoskeleton is vital for functional cellular physiology and the maintenance of homeostasis.

Cell-cell adhesions and cell contractility are upregulated upon desmosome disruption. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
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

The Homeobox Genes: Classification, Regulation, Biological Functions, and Diseases

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 4, April 2026.
Overview of the homeobox gene superfamily and its pathophysiological roles. The homeobox superfamily comprises several major classes, including ANTP, PRD, TALE, LIM, POU, and others. Among these, the HOX clusters (A–D) play critical roles in embryonic development specifically in conferring cellular identity, regulating morphogenesis, and guiding axial ...

Stratifin (14-3-3 σ) limits plakophilin-3 exchange with the desmosomal plaque. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Desmosomes are prominent cell-cell adhesive junctions in stratified squamous epithelia and disruption of desmosomal adhesion has been shown to have dramatic effects on the function and integrity of these tissues. During normal physiologic processes, such

Desmoglein 3: a help or a hindrance in cancer progression? [PDF]

, 2015
Desmoglein 3 is one of seven desmosomal cadherins that mediate cell-cell adhesion in desmosomes. Desmosomes are the intercellular junctional complexes that anchor the intermediate filaments of adjacent cells and confer strong cell adhesion thus are ...

Molecular Changes Induced by Carbon Dioxide Laser in Hailey‐Hailey Disease: A Potential Mechanism Underlying Treatment Efficacy

International Journal of Dermatology, Volume 65, Issue 4, Page 797-805, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Hailey‐Hailey disease (HHD) is a rare genodermatosis caused by mutations in the ATP2C1 gene that codes for SPCA1, a calcium transporter in the epidermis. HHD impairs quality of life, and no curative treatment exists. Methods To confirm the efficacy and safety of CO2 laser in HHD, we conducted a randomized, prospective, controlled ...

Reduced vascular leakage correlates with breast carcinoma T regulatory cell infiltration but not with metastatic propensity

Molecular Oncology, Volume 20, Issue 3, Page 753-778, March 2026.
A mouse model for vascular normalization and a human breast cancer cohort were studied to understand the relationship between vascular leakage and tumor immune suppression. For this, endothelial and immune cell RNAseq, staining for vascular function, and immune cell profiling were employed.

Keratins Regulate p38MAPK-Dependent Desmoglein Binding Properties in Pemphigus

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
Keratins are crucial for the anchorage of desmosomes. Severe alterations of keratin organization and detachment of filaments from the desmosomal plaque occur in the autoimmune dermatoses pemphigus vulgaris and pemphigus foliaceus (PF), which are mainly ...

Trim32 reduces PI3K–Akt–FoxO signaling in muscle atrophy by promoting plakoglobin–PI3K dissociation [PDF]

, 2014
Activation of the PI3K–Akt–FoxO pathway induces cell growth, whereas its inhibition reduces cell survival and, in muscle, causes atrophy. Here, we report a novel mechanism that suppresses PI3K–Akt–FoxO signaling. Although skeletal muscle lacks desmosomes,
