Unimpaired Skin Carcinogenesis in Desmoglein 3 Knockout Mice
The contribution of adherens junction inactivation, typically by downregulation or mutation of the transmembrane core component E-cadherin, to cancer progression is well recognized. In contrast, the role of the desmosomal cadherin components of the related cell-cell adhesion junction, the desmosome, in cancer development has not been well explored. Here, we use mouse models to probe the functio...

متن کاملDesmoglein 1 and desmoglein 3 are the target autoantigens in herpetiform pemphigus.
OBJECTIVE To determine the cell surface autoimmune target of herpetiform pemphigus (HP). DESIGN Serum samples of HP were examined by immunoblot studies with human epidermal extracts, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay with baculovirus-expressed recombinant desmoglein (rDsg) 1 and rDsg3, and immunoadsorption assay with rDsg. PATIENTS Twenty serum samples were obtained from patients with HP wh...
متن کاملDesmoglein 2 Is Less Important than Desmoglein 3 for Keratinocyte Cohesion
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 desmosomes. In keratinocytes, several isoforms of these proteins are co-expressed. However, the contribution of specific isoforms to overall ce...
متن کاملLoss of correlation between intensities of desmoglein 2 and desmoglein 3 expression in basal cell carcinomas.
Desmosomal cadherins in humans involve three isoforms, each in two splicing variants, of desmocollin (DSC1-3) and four isoforms of desmoglein (DSG1-4). DSGs are transmembranous desmosomal adhesive glycoproteins, which are generally expressed in a differentiation-specific manner. The aim of this study was to measure intensities of expression of both DSG2 and DSG3 in basal cell carcinoma (BCC) an...
