A keratin scaffold regulates epidermal barrier formation, mitochondrial lipid composition, and activity. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Keratin intermediate filaments (KIFs) protect the epidermis against mechanical force, support strong adhesion, help barrier formation, and regulate growth.

Role of genetic aspect in pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis (AD) is a very complicated process that involves an intricate array of molecules. Nowadays it is generally accepted that cytokines play an important role in the progression of the clinical presentation of atopic ...

Atopic Dermatitis Host and Environment Model: Revisiting Therapeutic Options [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
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

Genomic, Epigenomic, Transcriptomic, Proteomic and Metabolomic Approaches in Atopic Dermatitis

open access: yesCurrent Issues in Molecular Biology, 2023
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease with a high prevalence in the developed countries. It is associated with atopic and non-atopic diseases, and its close correlation with atopic comorbidities has been genetically demonstrated ...

GRANZYME B CONTRIBUTES TO BARRIER DYSFUNCTION IN OXAZOLONE-INDUCED SKIN INFLAMMATION THROUGH E-CADHERIN AND FILAGGRIN CLEAVAGE.

open access: yesJournal of Investigative Dermatology, 2020
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is the most common inflammatory skin condition. Skin barrier dysfunction is of major importance in AD as it facilitates allergen sensitization and systemic allergic responses.

Effect of filaggrin breakdown products on growth of and protein expression by Staphylococcus aureus

open access: yesJournal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 2010
Colonization of the skin by Staphylococcus aureus in individuals with atopic dermatitis exacerbates inflammation. Atopic dermatitis is associated with loss-of-function mutations in the filaggrin (FLG) gene, accompanied by reduced levels of filaggrin breakdown products on the skin.To assess the affect of growth in the presence of the filaggrin breakdown

Crossing Barriers; Restoring Barriers? Filaggrin Protein Replacement Takes a Bow [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Investigative Dermatology, 2014
In this issue of the Journal, Stout and colleagues report a novel and creative approach to replacement of genetically determined absence or deficiency of epidermal proteins. While these early data are certainly interesting, further validation work is required to determine the utility of this approach in genodermatoses.

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]

open access: yes, 2016
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).

Rheumatoid arthritis specific anti-Sa antibodies target citrullinated vimentin [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Antibodies directed to the Sa antigen are highly specific for rheumatoid arthritis ( RA) and can be detected in approximately 40% of RA sera. The antigen, a doublet of protein bands of about 50 kDa, is present in placenta and in RA synovial tissue ...
