Increased Production of IL-17A-Producing γδ T Cells in the Thymus of Filaggrin-Deficient Mice
Mutations in the filaggrin gene (Flg) are associated with increased systemic levels of Th17 cells and increased IL-17A production following antigen exposure in both humans and mice. In addition to Th17 cells, γδ T cells can produce IL-17A.

Recombinant Filaggrin Is Internalized and Processed to Correct Filaggrin Deficiency [PDF]
This study was designed to engineer a functional filaggrin (FLG) monomer linked to a cell-penetrating peptide (RMR) and to test the ability of this peptide to penetrate epidermal tissue as a therapeutic strategy for genetically determined atopic dermatitis (AD). A single repeat of the murine filaggrin gene (Flg) was covalently linked to a RMR motif and

Filaggrin Defect at Atopic Dermatitis: Modern Treatment Options
Atopic dermatitis is a common chronic skin disease, its pathogenesis is associated with congenital or acquired deficiency of filaggrin protein. In recent years, extensive evidence on the causes of filaggrin deficiency has been obtained. The structure and

The Pathogenesis of Atopic Dermatitis: The Role of Filaggrin
Background: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a multifactorial skin disease with waxing and waning inflammatory process. In recent years, genetic mutations namely the null mutations of the filaggrin gene (FLG) has been the focus in AD risk factors investigations.

The time-dependent expression of keratins 5 and 13 during the reepithelialization of human skin wounds [PDF]
The time-dependent reepithelialization of 55 human surgical skin wounds with a wound age between 8h and more than 2 months was investigated by the immunohistochemical localization of cytokeratins 5 and 13.

Evolutionary origin and diversification of epidermal barrier proteins in amniotes. [PDF]
The evolution of amniotes has involved major molecular innovations in the epidermis. In particular, distinct structural proteins that undergo covalent cross-linking during cornification of keratinocytes facilitate the formation of mechanically resilient ...

Loss-of-function variants of the filaggrin gene are associated with atopic eczema and associated phenotypes in Swedish families [PDF]
Recent studies have identified 2 loss-of-function variants, R501X and 2282del4, in the filaggrin gene as predisposing factors in the development of eczema.
