IgG Autoantibody Response Against Keratinocyte Cadherins in Endemic Pemphigus Foliaceus (Fogo Selvagem)
It is well established that autoantibodies against desmoglein 3 and desmoglein 1 (Dsg1) are relevant in the pathogenesis of pemphigus vulgaris and pemphigus foliaceus, including its endemic form fogo selvagem (FS). Isolated reports have shown that in certain patients with these diseases, autoantibodies against other desmosomal cadherins and E-cadherin may also be present. The goal of this inves...
متن کاملCadherins are a superfamily of adhesion molecules
Cadherins are a family of membrane receptors that mediate calcium dependent homophilic cell–cell adhesion. Cadherins play a key role in the regulation of organ and tissue development during embryogenesis. In adult organisms, these proteins are responsible for formation of stable cell–cell junctions and maintenance of normal tissue structure. Disruption in expression or function of cadherins may...
متن کاملAtomic Force Microscopy Provides New Mechanistic Insights into the Pathogenesis of Pemphigus
Autoantibodies binding to the extracellular domains of desmoglein (Dsg) 3 and 1 are critical in the pathogenesis of pemphigus by mechanisms leading to impaired function of desmosomes and blister formation in the epidermis and mucous membranes. Desmosomes are highly organized protein complexes which provide strong intercellular adhesion. Desmosomal cadherins such as Dsgs, proteins of the cadheri...
متن کاملbeta1 integrins regulate keratinocyte adhesion and differentiation by distinct mechanisms.
In keratinocytes, the beta1 integrins mediate adhesion to the extracellular matrix and also regulate the initiation of terminal differentiation. To explore the relationship between these functions, we stably infected primary human epidermal keratinocytes and an undifferentiated squamous cell carcinoma line, SCC4, with retroviruses encoding wild-type and mutant chick beta1 integrin subunits. We ...
متن کاملadhesion and proliferation of horse fibroblast and keratinocyte cells in fibrin glue
evaluation of autogenous fibrinogen extracted from horse blood in fibrin glue and it's effects on horse's fibroblast and keratinocyte cells were preformed. fibrinogen has been obtained by glycine precipitation technique from horse's blood. fibroblast cells were separated by explant culture method from neck skin and keratinocytes were separated by enzyme digestion from lib samples...
