Filaggrin and filaggrin 2 processing are linked together through skin aspartic acid protease activation.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2020
Skin aspartic acid protease (SASPase) is believed to be a key enzyme involved in filaggrin processing during epidermal terminal differentiation. Since little is known about the regulation of SASPase function, the aim of this study was to identify ...

Excess filaggrin in keratinocytes is removed by extracellular vesicles to prevent premature death and this mechanism can be hijacked by Staphylococcus aureus in a TLR2‐dependent fashion

open access: yesJournal of Extracellular Vesicles, 2023
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 ...

The Pathogenesis of Eosinophilic Asthma: A Positive Feedback Mechanism That Promotes Th2 Immune Response via Filaggrin Deficiency

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2021
Eosinophilic asthma (EA) is a common subtype of asthma and often progresses to severe disease. In order to understand its pathogenesis, targeted next-generation gene sequencing was performed on 77 Chinese EA patients and 431 Chinese healthy controls to ...

Remodeling of the cell membrane-associated protein pool affects adhesive membrane properties in filaggrin insufficient keratinocytes and impacts distinct cellular and organellar functions [PDF]

open access: yesBMC Biology
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]

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics
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.

Update on canine filaggrin: a review [PDF]

open access: yesVeterinary Quarterly, 2020
Human filaggrin (FLG) plays a key role in epidermal barrier function, and loss-of-function mutations of its gene are primarily responsible for the development of human atopic dermatitis (AD).

Orchestrated control of filaggrin-actin scaffolds underpins cornification. [PDF]

open access: yesCell Death and Disease, 2018
Epidermal stratification critically depends on keratinocyte differentiation and programmed death by cornification, leading to formation of a protective skin barrier.

Early-life regional and temporal variation in filaggrin-derived natural moisturizing factor, filaggrin-processing enzyme activity, corneocyte phenotypes and plasmin activity:Implications for atopic dermatitis [PDF]

open access: yesBritish Journal of Dermatology, 2018
Background: Filaggrin is central to the pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis (AD). The cheeks are a common initiation site of infantile AD. Regional and temporal expression of levels of filaggrin degradation products [natural moisturizing factors (NMFs ...

Filaggrin and atopic march [PDF]

open access: yesBiochemia medica, 2019
There is an increasing number of experimental, genetic and clinical evidence of atopic dermatitis expression as a pre-condition for later development of other atopic diseases such as asthma, food allergy and allergic rhinitis.

TSLP is a direct trigger for T cell migration in filaggrin-deficient skin equivalents

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
Mutations in the gene encoding for filaggrin (FLG) are major predisposing factors for atopic dermatitis (AD). Besides genetic predisposition, immunological dysregulations considerably contribute to its pathophysiology.
