Air Pollution Quinones Impair Intestinal Barrier Integrity and Endoplasmic Reticulum in Differentiated Caco‐2 Cells

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Particulate matter (PM) is a major global health threat, linked to millions of deaths annually. Beyond inhalation, PM components reach the gastrointestinal tract through the mucociliary escalator or contaminated food and water. Among PM's organic fraction, redox‐active quinones such as 1,2‐naphthoquinone (NQ) and 9,10‐phenanthrenequinone (PQ ...

Genetic skin diseases related to desmosomes and corneodesmosomes. [PDF]

, 2014
著者最終原稿The integrity of the epidermis depends on the cohesion between keratinocytes, and desmosomes are the main adhesion structures. When cells become cornified, desmosomes are modified and transformed into corneodesmosomes.

COL1A1+ Epithelial Cells Orchestrate VEGFA‐VEGFR Signaling in Endometritis Revealed by Single‐Cell Analysis

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
Single‐cell RNA‐seq of normal and endometritis endometrium shows reduced epithelial cells and fate divergence toward ferroptosis or ribosome/antigen‐presentation programs. COL1A1+ epithelial cells act as an AP‐1–driven hub that enhances VEGFA–VEGFR signaling and remodels the vascular microenvironment.

Endocytosis of IgG, Desmoglein 1, and Plakoglobin in Pemphigus Foliaceus Patient Skin

Frontiers in Immunology, 2019
Pemphigus foliaceus (PF) is one of the two main forms of pemphigus and is characterized by circulating IgG to the desmosomal cadherin desmoglein 1 (DSG1) and by subcorneal blistering of the skin.

Dipeptidyl Peptidase‐4 Inhibitor Use and Risk of Pemphigus Vulgaris and Foliaceus: A Retrospective Cohort Study Using Databases of the Korea National Health Insurance Claims and the National Health Screening Examination

The Journal of Dermatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Although population‐based studies have reported an increased risk of bullous pemphigoid and pemphigus associated with dipeptidyl peptidase‐4 (DPP‐4) inhibitors, there is limited, well‐designed epidemiological evidence for pemphigus vulgaris (PV), which has only been supported by case reports thus far.

Elevated CO2 and Temperature Alter Grass Pollen's Ability to Modify Transcriptome and Function of the Nasal Epithelium

Allergy, EarlyView.
We exposed human nasal epithelial tissues to pollen from grasses grown under different climate treatments (temperature and CO2). Pollen weakened epithelial tight junctions and altered cytokine‐related gene expression, with similar protein‐level effects.

Nasal Epithelial Immune Signatures Are Associated With Age‐Dependent Asthma Trajectories in Early Life

Allergy, EarlyView.
Nasal epithelial transcriptomics identified three cytokine‐associated epithelial immune programs linked to childhood asthma phenotypes. Age‐associated epithelial polarization shifted from IFN/type‐17‐associated toward type‐2‐associated programs after 3 years of age.

Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia: Clinical Characteristics and Identification of Novel Desmosome Gene Mutations

Journal of the Formosan Medical Association, 2008
Background/Purpose: Desmosome gene mutations have been reported in patients with arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (ARVD). However, there are hardly any genetic studies in Asians.

The Functional Role and Molecular Characterization of the Therapeutic Target CLDN6 in Germ Cell Tumors

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The tight junction protein CLDN6 has been identified as a cancer‐associated cell surface marker that is rarely expressed in healthy tissues. In testicular germ cell tumors (GCT), CLDN6 is particularly detectable in seminomas, embryonal carcinomas, and choriocarcinomas.
