Filaggrin and Atopic Dermatitis: Clinical and Pathogenetic Parallels and Therapeutic Possibilities
Atopic dermatitis (AtD) is multifactorial inflammatory skin disease, one of the aspects of its pathogenesis is epidermal barrier dysfunction. Early development of AtD is associated with filaggrin dysfunction.

Modern View on the Role of Epidermal Barrier in Atopic Phenotype Development in Children
Epidermal barrier is one is one of the most important structures of the skin, it performs protective function, ensure internal environment constancy by selective ions and molecules transport and by transepidermal water loss regulation.

Expression of keratins, epidermal proteins and inflammatory cells in superficial pemphigus dogs [PDF]
Superficial pemphigus in dogs is an autoimmune skin disorder. The disease is characterised by the binding of auto-antibodies to desmosomal molecules including desmocollin-1, a major auto-antigen in dogs.

Associations of filaggrin gene loss-of-function variants and human papillomavirus-related cancer and pre-cancer in Danish adults. [PDF]
Filaggrin proteins are expressed in the skin, oral cavity, oesophagus, and cervical mucose. Loss-of-function mutations in the filaggrin gene (FLG) reduce filaggrin expression and cause an impaired skin barrier function.

Autophagy generates citrullinated peptides in human synoviocytes: a possible trigger for anti-citrullinated peptide antibodies [PDF]
OBJECTIVES: Autophagy may represent a functional processing event that creates a substrate for autoreactivity. In particular, autophagy may play a role in the pathogenesis of RA, since autophagy is a key cellular event involved in the generation of ...

Lowering relative humidity level increases epidermal protein deimination and drives human filaggrin breakdown [PDF]
Deimination (also known as citrullination), the conversion of arginine in a protein to citrulline, is catalyzed by a family of enzymes called peptidylarginine deiminases (PADs). Three PADs are expressed in the epidermis, one of their targets being filaggrin.
