Calcium-independent desmosomes of keratinocytes are hyper-adhesive

, 2006
Desmosomes in tissues are resistant to disruption by chelation of extracellular calcium. It has been suggested that this represents a hyper-adhesive state of these intercellular junctions that is crucial for the maintenance of epidermal integrity ...

Pemphigus—A Disease of Desmosome Dysfunction Caused by Multiple Mechanisms

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
Pemphigus is a severe autoimmune-blistering disease of the skin and mucous membranes caused by autoantibodies reducing desmosomal adhesion between epithelial cells.

Diacerein Disrupts Testicular Homeostasis: The Essential Role of Basal Cytokines in Maintaining Sertoli Cell Integrity and the Immune Microenvironment

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Pro‐inflammatory cytokines, TNF and IL‐1B, are essential for testicular homeostasis. Diacerein, an anti‐inflammatory drug, inhibits these cytokines, impairing M2 macrophages and Leydig cells (LCs). However, its impact on Sertoli cells (SCs) and M1 (CD68) macrophages remains unknown.

Blockade of the Adenosine 2A Receptor Mitigates the Cardiomyopathy Induced by Loss of Plakophilin-2 Expression

Frontiers in Physiology, 2018
Background: Mutations in plakophilin-2 (PKP2) are the most common cause of familial Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy, a disease characterized by ventricular arrhythmias, sudden death, and progressive fibrofatty cardiomyopathy. The relation

iRHOM2 in skin disease and oesophageal cancer [PDF]

, 2015
PhDMutations in RHBDF2, the gene encoding inactive rhomboid protein iRHOM2, result in the dominantly inherited condition Tylosis with oesophageal cancer (TOC). TOC causes plamoplantar keratoderma, oral precursor lesions and up to a 95 % life-time risk of

Ultrastructure of desmosomes in Rpgrip1l^-/- mice.

, 2019
(a) Transmission electron microscopy micrographs of desmosomes between basal and suprabasal keratinocytes (Basal/suprabasal), and between spinous keratinocytes (Spinous) in E18.5 control (Rpgrip1l+/+) and homozygous (Rpgrip1l-/-) mutant (n = 7 mice ...

E-cadherin binds to desmoglein to facilitate desmosome assembly

eLife, 2018
Desmosomes are adhesive junctions composed of two desmosomal cadherins: desmocollin (Dsc) and desmoglein (Dsg). Previous studies demonstrate that E-cadherin (Ecad), an adhesive protein that interacts in both trans (between opposing cells) and cis (on the

Proteomic profile of CSF obtained at the time of diagnosis determines amyotrophic lateral sclerosis progression and survival: CXCL7 levels in disease prognosis and survival

Brain Pathology, EarlyView.
Untargeted multiomic profiling of cerebrospinal fluid reveals that proteomic, but not lipidomic, signatures robustly distinguish ALS patients from controls and stratify individuals by survival, highlighting marked molecular differences between short survival and long survival disease.

Desmosomes and disease: an update [PDF]

, 2002
Desmosomes play a critical role in the maintenance of normal tissue architecture. Skin blistering can occur when desmosomal adhesion is compromised by antibodies in autoimmune diseases such as pemphigus.
