Remodeling of the cell membrane-associated protein pool affects adhesive membrane properties in filaggrin insufficient keratinocytes and impacts distinct cellular and organellar functions [PDF]
Background Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a highly prevalent inflammatory skin disease, affecting up to 30% of children at some point in their life and frequently persisting into adulthood.

FilaggrinHigh melanomas exhibit active FGFR and allergic signatures with impaired GNA14 and Th1 signatures [PDF]
Filaggrin gene (FLG/FLG2) product deregulations are associated with various allergic skin diseases, including but not limited to atopic dermatitis, alopecia areata, and ichthyosis vulgaris.

Filaggrin silencing by shRNA directly impairs the skin barrier function of normal human epidermal keratinocytes and then induces an immune response [PDF]
The objective of this study was to investigate whether a single defect in skin barrier function simulated by filaggrin silencing could induce Th2-predominant inflammation.

Daily emollient during infancy for prevention of eczema: the BEEP randomised controlled trial. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Skin barrier dysfunction precedes eczema development. We tested whether daily use of emollient in the first year could prevent eczema in high-risk children. METHODS: We did a multicentre, pragmatic, parallel-group, randomised controlled trial

Filaggrin (FLG) protein is indispensable for multiple aspects of the epidermal barrier function but its accumulation in a monomeric filaggrin form may initiate premature keratinocytes death; it is unclear how filaggrin levels are controlled before the ...

Analysis of filaggrin 2 gene polymorphisms in patients with atopic dermatitis, [PDF]
Background: Polymorphisms of the filaggrin 2 gene (rs 12568784 and rs 16899374) are associated with persistent atopic dermatitis in African American patients. Filaggrin 2 is a protein with a function similar to filaggrin and also encoded in the epidermal

Molecular identification and expression analysis of filaggrin-2, a member of the S100 fused-type protein family. [PDF]
Genes of the S100 fused-type protein (SFTP) family are clustered within the epidermal differentiation complex and encode essential components that maintain epithelial homeostasis and barrier functions.

Atopic Dermatitis Host and Environment Model: Revisiting Therapeutic Options [PDF]
Atopic Dermatitis affects both children and adults and is a serious health concern in many countries. AD is a complex disease with host and environmental factors underlying its pathology. Its treatment is multidimensional reflecting the diverse nature of

A mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1/2 (mTORC1)/V-Akt murine thymoma viral oncogene homolog 1 (AKT1)/cathepsin H axis controls filaggrin expression and processing in skin, a novel mechanism for skin barrier disruption in patients with atopic dermatitis [PDF]
Background Filaggrin, which is encoded by the filaggrin gene (FLG), is an important component of the skin's barrier to the external environment, and genetic defects in FLG strongly associate with atopic dermatitis (AD).
