Knock-down of filaggrin influences the mitogen-activated protein kinases signaling pathway in normal human epidermal keratinocytes. [PDF]

open access: yesmédecine/sciences, 2018
BACKGROUND Filaggrin is an essential structural protein of the stratum corneum binding to the keratin intermediate filaments to form a dense protein-lipid matrix.

Filaggrin silencing by shRNA directly impairs the skin barrier function of normal human epidermal keratinocytes and then induces an immune response [PDF]

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2014
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.

Characterization of two monoclonal antibodies to human epidermal keratohyalin: reactivity with filaggrin and related proteins.

open access: yesJournal of Investigative Dermatology, 1987
Two monoclonal antibodies (AKH1 and AKH2) were elicited with partially purified human filaggrin and characterized by immunohistochemistry on normal and abnormal skin biopsies, immunoblotting techniques, and antigen purification. Both antibodies react strongly with the granular cell layer consistent with the distribution of keratohyalin and show a more ...

Influence of Th2 Cytokines on the Cornified Envelope, Tight Junction Proteins, and ß-Defensins in Filaggrin-Deficient Skin Equivalents. [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Investigative Dermatology, 2016
Atopic dermatitis is a chronic skin condition with complex etiology. It is characterized by skin barrier defects and T helper type 2 (Th2)-polarized inflammation. Although mutations in the filaggrin gene are known to be prominent genetic risk factors for the development of atopic dermatitis, the interdependency between these and an altered cytokine ...

Investigations into the filaggrin null phenotype: showcasing the methodology for CRISPR/Cas9 editing of human keratinocytes.

open access: yesJournal of Investigative Dermatology, 2023
Ever since the association between filaggrin (FLG) loss-of-function mutations and ichthyosis vulgaris and atopic dermatitis disease onset was identified, filaggrins function has been under investigation.

The Discovery and Function of Filaggrin

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2022
Keratohyalin granules were discovered in the mid-19th century in cells that terminally differentiate to form the outer, cornified layer of the epidermis.

Pathogenic Role of Circulating Citrullinated Antigens and Anti-Cyclic Monoclonal Citrullinated Peptide Antibodies in Rheumatoid Arthritis

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2021
We examined whether it is possible to directly detect citrullinated antigens in the serum of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients using a monoclonal antibody (mAb) designed to be specific for citrullinated peptides. In order to confirm the potential of the

Scleral Proteome in Noninfectious Scleritis Unravels Upregulation of Filaggrin-2 and Signs of Neovascularization

open access: yesInvestigative Ophthalmology and Visual Science, 2023
Purpose Scleritis is a severe inflammatory ocular disorder with unknown pathogenesis. We investigated healthy sclera as well as sclera affected by noninfectious scleritis for differentially expressed proteins using a mass spectrometry approach.

Effects of niacin restriction on sirtuin and PARP responses to photodamage in human skin. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Sirtuins (SIRTs) and poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs), NAD(+)-dependent enzymes, link cellular energy status with responses to environmental stresses.
