The Transition from Pemphigus Foliaceus to Pemphigus Vegetans—An Intriguing Phenomenon within the Spectrum of Autoimmune Blistering Diseases: A Case Report [PDF]
DermatoPemphigus vegetans and pemphigus foliaceus are rare autoimmune blistering diseases characterized by the disruption of desmosomal adhesion proteins, particularly desmoglein 3 and desmoglein 1.

Post-Pemphigus Acanthomata Presenting as an Isolated, Hyperkeratotic Plaque
Dermatopathology, 2023 Post-pemphigus acanthomas have been rarely discussed in the literature. A prior case series identified 47 cases of pemphigus vulgaris and 5 cases of pemphigus foliaceus, out of which 13 developed acanthomata as a part of the healing process. Additionally,

Loss of flotillin expression results in weakened desmosomal adhesion and Pemphigus vulgaris-like localisation of desmoglein-3 in human keratinocytes [PDF]
, 2016 Desmosomes are adhesion plaques that mediate cell-cell adhesion in many tissues, including the epidermis, and generate mechanical resistance to tissues. The extracellular domains of desmosomal cadherin proteins, desmogleins and desmocollins, are required

Protease inhibitors prevent plasminogen-mediated, but not pemphigus vulgaris-induced, acantholysis in human epidermis [PDF]
, 2003 Pemphigus is an autoimmune blistering disease of the skin and mucous membranes. It is caused by autoantibodies directed against desmosomes, which are the principal adhesion structures between epidermal keratinocytes.

Desmoglein 2 is less important than desmoglein 3 for keratinocyte cohesion. [PDF]
, 2013 Desmosomes provide intercellular adhesive strength required for integrity of epithelial and some non-epithelial tissues. Within the epidermis, the cadherin-type adhesion molecules desmoglein (Dsg) 1-4 and desmocollin (Dsc) 1-3 build the adhesive core of ...
