(From Glick, Glossary of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 1990; Singleton & Sainsbury, Dictionary of Microbiology and Molecular Biology, 2d ed)Darier Disease: An autosomal dominantly inherited skin disorder characterized by warty malodorous papules that coalesce into plaques. It is caused by mutations in the ATP2A2 gene encoding SERCA2 protein, one of the SARCOPLASMIC RETICULUM CALCIUM-TRANSPORTING ATPASES. The condition is similar, clinically and histologically, to BENIGN FAMILIAL PEMPHIGUS, another autosomal dominant skin disorder.

This mode of cell death serves as a balance to mitosis in regulating the size of animal tissues and in mediating pathologic processes associated with tumor growth.Signal Transduction: The intracellular transfer of information (biological activation/inhibition) through a signal pathway. In each signal transduction system, an activation/inhibition signal from a biologically active molecule (hormone, neurotransmitter) is mediated via the coupling of a receptor/enzyme to a second messenger system or to an ion channel. Signal transduction plays an important role in activating cellular functions, cell differentiation, and cell proliferation. Examples of signal transduction systems are the GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID-postsynaptic receptor-calcium ion channel system, the receptor-mediated T-cell activation pathway, and the receptor-mediated activation of phospholipases. Those coupled to membrane depolarization or intracellular release of calcium include the receptor-mediated activation of cytotoxic functions in granulocytes and the synaptic potentiation of protein kinase activation. Some signal transduction pathways may be part of larger signal transduction pathways; for example, protein kinase activation is part of the platelet activation signal pathway.Brain Ischemia: Localized reduction of blood flow to brain tissue due to arterial obstruction or systemic hypoperfusion. This frequently occurs in conjunction with brain hypoxia (HYPOXIA, BRAIN). Prolonged ischemia is associated with BRAIN INFARCTION.Cellular Phone: Analog or digital communications device in which the user has a wireless connection from a telephone to a nearby transmitter. It is termed cellular because the service area is divided into multiple "cells."

The anti-desmoglein 1 autoantibodies in pemphigus vulgaris sera are pathogenic. (1/42)

Pemphigus vulgaris and pemphigus foliaceus are two closely related, but clinically and histologically distinct, autoimmune skin diseases. The autoantigens for pemphigus vulgaris and pemphigus foliaceus are desmoglein 3 and desmoglein 1, respectively. The anti-desmoglein 1 antibodies in pemphigus foliaceus and anti-desmoglein 3 antibodies in pemphigus vulgaris are pathogenic as determined by immunoglobulin G passive transfer animal models. More than 50% of pemphigus vulgaris sera also contain anti-desmoglein 1 autoantibodies; however, the pathogenicity of the anti-desmoglein 1 autoantibodies in pemphigus vulgaris remains unknown. In this study, we used soluble recombinant extracellular domains of desmoglein 1 and desmoglein 3 to obtain affinity-purified anti-desmoglein 1 and anti-desmoglein 3 autoantibodies from pemphigus vulgaris sera and examined the pathogenicity of each fraction separately using the passive transfer mouse model. By immunoprecipitation, the purified anti-desmoglein 1 and anti-desmoglein 3 showed no cross-reactivity. The anti-desmoglein 1 autoantibodies in pemphigus vulgaris induced typical pemphigus foliaceus lesions in neonatal mice, whereas the anti-desmoglein 3 fraction induced pemphigus vulgaris-like lesions. In addition, the pathogenic anti-desmoglein 1 and anti-desmoglein 3 autoantibodies in pemphigus vulgaris had predominant IgG4 subclass specificity. These findings suggest that the anti-desmoglein 1 antibodies in pemphigus vulgaris are pathogenic.  (+info)

Immune modulation in pemphigus vulgaris: role of CD28 and IL-10. (2/42)

Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) is an autoimmune bullous skin disease characterized by Abs to the desmosomal cadherin desmoglein-3. Although the autoantibodies have been shown to be pathogenic, the role of the cellular immune system in the pathology of pemphigus-induced acantholysis is unclear. To further delineate the potential role of T cell-signaling pathways in the pathogenesis of PV, we performed passive transfer experiments with PV IgG in gene-targeted mutant mice. Our results demonstrated that CD28-deficient mice (lacking a costimulatory signal for T cell activation) are 5-fold more sensitive to the development of PV than wild-type mice. To evaluate whether the higher incidence of disease was due to an impairment in intercellular adhesion of keratinocytes, we performed an in vitro acantholysis, using CD28-/- mice keratinocytes. No alteration in in vitro adhesion was detected in CD28-/--type keratinocytes. Because the CD28 molecule plays a pivotal role in the induction of Th2 cytokines, we examined the levels of a prototypic Th2 cytokine (IL-10) in CD28-/- mice. Lower levels of IL-10 mRNA were found in lesions from CD28-/- mice. To determine whether pemphigus susceptibility in CD28-/- was related to IL-10 deficiency, we performed passive transfer experiments in IL-10-/- mice that demonstrated increased blisters compared with controls. To confirm that IL-10 is involved in the pathogenesis, rIL-10 was given with PV IgG. IL-10 significantly suppressed the disease activity. These data suggest a potential role of IL-10 in PV.  (+info)

In vitro and in vivo expression of interleukin-1alpha and tumor necrosis factor-alpha mRNA in pemphigus vulgaris: interleukin-1alpha and tumor necrosis factor-alpha are involved in acantholysis. (3/42)

Keratinocyte-derived cytokines have been implicated in the pathogenesis of a number of skin diseases. In this study we examined the possible role of keratinocyte-derived cytokines in the development of acantholysis in pemphigus vulgaris. Nineteen patients with pemphigus vulgaris, demonstrating the characteristic clinical, pathologic, and immunopathologic findings were studied. In situ immunolabeling demonstrated the presence of two cytokines interleukin-1alpha and tumor necrosis factor-alpha, in lesional and perilesional areas. Results were confirmed by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction, demonstrating overexpression of both cytokines in vivo. To study the role of these cytokines in the pathogenesis of pemphigus vulgaris both in vitro and in vivo studies were performed. The results of the in vitro study demonstrated that pemphigus vulgaris IgG induced interleukin-1alpha and tumor necrosis factor-alpha mRNA in the skin. The potential pathogenic role of these mediators was demonstrated by a blocking study using antibodies against human interleukin-1alpha and tumor necrosis factor-alpha in keratinocytes cultures. A combination of anti-interleukin-1alpha and anti-tumor necrosis factor-alpha antibodies inhibited in vitro pemphigus vulgaris IgG induced acantholysis. To confirm the role of interleukin-1 and tumor necrosis factor-alpha in pemphigus, we utilized passive transfer studies using interleukin-1 deficient mice (ICE-/-, interleukin-1beta-/-) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha receptor deficient mice (TNFR1R2-/-). Both groups demonstrated a decreased susceptibility to the passive transfer of pemphigus. Our data support the role of cytokines interleukin-1 and tumor necrosis factor-alpha in the pathogenesis of pemphigus vulgaris.  (+info)

Novel human alpha9 acetylcholine receptor regulating keratinocyte adhesion is targeted by Pemphigus vulgaris autoimmunity. (4/42)

Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) is a potentially fatal autoimmune mucocutaneous blistering disease. It was assumed that PV is caused by anti-desmoglein (Dsg) 3 autoimmunity because absorption of PV sera with a chimeric baculoprotein containing the Dsg 3 and IgG1 portions, rDsg3-Ig-His, eliminated disease-causing antibodies. In this study we demonstrate that rDsg3-Ig-His adsorbs out autoantibodies to different keratinocyte antigens, including a non-Dsg 3 130-kd polypeptide. Because the pool of disease-causing PV IgGs contains antibodies against the keratinocyte acetylcholine receptor (AChR), we sought to identify the targeted receptor(s). Preincubation of monkey esophagus with PV antibodies blocked specific staining of the keratinocyte cell membrane with rabbit monoepitopic antibody to alpha9 AChR, indicating that this first of its kind AChR with dual, muscarinic and nicotinic pharmacology is targeted by PV autoimmunity. Anti-alpha9 antibody stained keratinocytes in a fishnet-like intercellular pattern, and visualized a single band at approximately 50 kd in Western blots of keratinocyte membrane proteins. Using step-by-step reverse transcription polymerase chain reactions with primers based on known alpha9 sequence regions, we identified the complete reading frame of human alpha9. Its amino acid sequence showed 85% similarity with rat alpha9. Treatment of keratinocyte monolayers with anti-alpha9 antibody induced pemphigus-like acantholysis, which could be reversed either spontaneously or by using the cholinergic agonist carbachol. We conclude that alpha9 is coupled to physiological regulation of keratinocyte adhesion, and its interaction with PV IgG may lead to blister development.  (+info)

Antibodies against keratinocyte antigens other than desmogleins 1 and 3 can induce pemphigus vulgaris-like lesions. (5/42)

Pemphigus is an autoimmune disease of skin adhesion associated with autoantibodies against a number of keratinocyte antigens, such as the adhesion molecules desmoglein (Dsg) 1 and 3 and acetylcholine receptors. The notion that anti-Dsg antibodies alone are responsible for blisters in patients with pemphigus vulgaris (PV) stems from the ability of rDsg1 and rDsg3 to absorb antibodies that cause PV-like skin blisters in neonatal mice. Here, we demonstrate that PV IgGs eluted from rDsg1-Ig-His and rDsg3-Ig-His show similar antigenic profiles, including the 38-, 43-, 115-, and 190-kDa keratinocyte proteins and a non-Dsg 3 130-kDa polypeptide present in keratinocytes from Dsg 3 knockout mouse. We injected into Dsg 3-lacking mice the PV IgGs that did not cross-react with the 160-kDa Dsg 1 or its 45-kDa immunoreactive fragment and that showed no reactivity with recombinant Dsg 1. We used both the Dsg3(null) mice with a targeted mutation of the Dsg3 gene and the "balding" Dsg3(bal)/Dsg3(bal) mice that carry a spontaneous null mutation in Dsg3. These PV IgGs caused gross skin blisters with PV-like suprabasal acantholysis and stained perilesional epidermis in a fishnet-like pattern, indicating that the PV phenotype can be induced without anti-Dsg 3 antibody. The anti-Dsg 1 antibody also was not required, as its presence in PV IgG does not alter the PV-like phenotype in skin organ cultures and because pemphigus foliaceus IgGs produce a distinct phenotype in Dsg3(null) mice. Therefore, mucocutaneous lesions in PV patients could be caused by non-Dsg antibodies.  (+info)

Immunologic and histopathologic characterization of an active disease mouse model for pemphigus vulgaris. (6/42)

Pemphigus vulgaris is an autoimmune blistering disease of the skin and mucous membranes that is caused by anti-desmoglein 3 IgG autoantibodies. Recently, we generated an active disease mouse model for pemphigus vulgaris by adoptive transfer of splenocytes from immunized desmoglein 3-/- mice to Rag2-/- mice. In this study, we performed immunologic and histopathologic studies using this pemphigus vulgaris model in mice and compared the gross and microscopic phenotypes of pemphigus vulgaris model mice and desmoglein 3-/- mice. Pemphigus vulgaris model mice showed strong in vivo IgG, and weak IgA deposition on keratinocyte cell surfaces in stratified squamous epithelia, and produced circulating anti-desmoglein 3 IgG antibodies without apparent cross-reactivity to desmoglein 1, in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. The predominant IgG subclass was IgG1. Pemphigus vulgaris model mice and desmoglein 3-/- mice were almost indistinguishable in terms of both gross and microscopic findings. Both types of mice showed suprabasilar acantholysis in the stratified squamous epithelia, including the oral mucous membranes and traumatized skin around the snout or paws; however, some pemphigus vulgaris model mice demonstrated a more severe phenotype than desmoglein 3-/- mice. The esophagus and forestomach were affected in some pemphigus vulgaris model mice, but not in desmoglein 3-/- mice. Furthermore, eosinophilic spongiosis, which is found in early pemphigus vulgaris lesions in patients, was observed in pemphigus vulgaris model mice but not in desmoglein 3-/- mice. Pemphigus vulgaris model mice reflect several of the histopathologic and immunologic features seen in pemphigus vulgaris patients, and provide a valuable tool to investigate the pathophysiologic mechanisms of pemphigus vulgaris.  (+info)

Induction of pemphigus phenotype by a mouse monoclonal antibody against the amino-terminal adhesive interface of desmoglein 3. (7/42)

Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) is a life-threatening autoimmune blistering disease that is caused by IgG autoantibodies against the cadherin-type adhesion molecule desmoglein (Dsg)3. Previously, we have generated an active mouse model for PV by adoptive transfer of Dsg3(-/-) splenocytes. In this study, we isolated eight AK series, anti-Dsg3 IgG mAbs from the PV mouse model, and examined their pathogenic activities in induction of blister formation. Intraperitoneal inoculation of the AK23 hybridoma, but not the other AK hybridomas, induced the virtually identical phenotype to that of PV model mice or Dsg3(-/-) mice with typical histology of PV. Epitope mapping with domain-swapped and point-mutated Dsg1/Dsg3 molecules revealed that AK23 recognized a calcium-dependent conformational epitope on Dsg3, which consisted of the V3, K7, P8, and D59 Dsg3-specific residues that formed the adhesive interface between juxtaposed Dsg, as predicted by the crystal structure. The epitopes of the mAbs that failed to show apparent pathogenic activity were mapped in the middle to carboxyl-terminal extracellular region of Dsg3, where no direct intermolecular interaction was predicted. These findings demonstrate the pathogenic heterogeneity among anti-Dsg3 IgG Abs due to their epitopes, and suggest the direct inhibition of adhesive interaction of Dsg as an initial molecular event of blister formation in pemphigus.  (+info)

A case of focal acantholytic dyskeratosis occurring on both the lip and the anal canal. (8/42)

Focal acantholytic dyskeratosis has a distinctive histological pattern that is associated with various clinical expressions. It rarely occurs on the lip or the perianal area. We report a patient with focal acantholytic dyskeratosis occurring on both the upper lip and the anal canal. Histopathologically, the lesions showed hyperkeratosis, suprabasilar clefting, epidermal acantholysis and dyskeratosis. This case represents the first report of a focal acantholytic dyskeratosis occurring on both the lip and the anal canal.  (+info)

Transient acantholytic dermatosis - WikipediaTransient acantholytic dermatosis - Wikipedia
Grovers disease (GD) is a polymorphic, pruritic, papulovesicular dermatosis characterized histologically by acantholysis with or without dyskeratosis. Once confirmed, most cases of Grovers disease last six to twelve months, which is why it was originally called "transient". However it may last much longer. Nevertheless, it is not to be confused with relapsing linear acantholytic dermatosis. Grovers disease often starts quite suddenly. There are intensely itchy spots on the central back, mid chest and occasionally elsewhere. Frequently, it follows sweating or some unexpected heat stress. The itchy eruption lasts an average of 10-12 months. It is characterized by papules and papulovesicles with excoriations occurring on the chest, back, lower sternum, arms, and thighs. The papules are most commonly found on the mid chest. Sometimes the features of Grovers are found in people who do not itch or have a conspicuous rash. Most of the people with Grovers who visit a dermatologist, however, itch a ...

Senear-Usher syndrome or pemphigus erythematosus is a pathology that overlaps clinically and serologically with pemphigus foliaceus and lupus erythematosus. Skin biopsies of patients with pemphigus erythematosus reveal acantholysis and deposits of immunoglobulins in desmosomes, and they are positive in the lupus band test. In the present paper, we determined whether the autoantibodies associated with pemphigus erythematosus targeted a single antigen or multiple antigens as a result of the stimulation of independent B cell clones. Our present paper demonstrates that patients with pemphigus erythematosus produce both antiepithelial antibodies specific for desmoglein 1 and 3 and antinuclear antibodies specific for Ro, La, Sm, and double-stranded DNA antigens. After eluting specific anti-epithelial or anti-nuclear antibodies, which were recovered and tested using double-fluorescence assays, a lack of cross-reactivity was demonstrated between desmosomes and nuclear and cytoplasmic lupus antigens. ...

By Professor Martin M Black, MD. Pemphigus and its variants are rare autoimmune disorders characterized by loss of cell to cell cohesion between keratinocytes leading to intra-epidermal blistering. In all types of pemphigus, antibodies are directed against antigens in the intercellular substance between keratinocytes and in a substantial number of active cases, these pemphigus antibodies can be detected in the general blood circulation.. Pempigus vulgaris (PV) is characterized by flaccid blistering and erosions of the skin and mucous membranes. Involvement within the mouth may often precede the skin erosions and may persist even long after skin lesions subside. It is therefore important to remember that involvement of the oral cavity may take the patient to see dental surgeon, rather than a dermatologist in the first instance. However, in pemphigus foliaceus (PF) the blistering tends to be more superficial than in the vulgaris form of pemphigus and the mucous membrane areas are not ...

In mammalian tissues, uptake of Ca(2+) and Mn(2+) by Golgi membranes is mediated by the secretory pathway Ca(2+) -ATPases, SPCA1 and SPCA2, encoded by the ATP2C1 and ATP2C2 genes. Loss of one copy of the ATP2C1 gene, which causes SPCA1 haploinsufficiency, leads to squamous cell tumors of keratinized epithelia in mice and to Hailey-Hailey disease, an acantholytic skin disease, in humans. Although the disease phenotypes resulting from SPCA1 haploinsufficiency in mice and humans are quite different, each species-specific phenotype is remarkably similar to those arising as a result of null mutations in one copy of the ATP2A2 gene, encoding SERCA2, the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) Ca(2+) pump ...

Dermatopathology Cases: Answer of Dermatopathology Case 71Dermatopathology Cases: Answer of Dermatopathology Case 71
RESULTS: Of the 72 patients, 63 (88%) were men, and the mean age was 48 years (range, 31 to 85). Lesions were distributed mainly on the trunk (in 71 patients) and proximal extremities (in 25). Heat and sweating frequently were exacerbating factors. Fifteen patients (21%) were bedbound. Concurrent nondermatologic malignant disease was present in 18 patients (25%). Two patients (3%) had acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. Follow-up in 28 patients (mean, 38 months; range, 3 months to 7 years) revealed that the disease had recurred in 13, persisted in 3, and resolved in 12. Review of the biopsy specimens showed that acantholysis was pemphigus vulgaris-like in 40 patients (56%), Dariers disease-like in 16 (22%), spongiotic in 12 (17%), pemphigus foliaceus-like in 2 (3%), and Hailey-Hailey disease-like in 2 (3%). A perivascular lymphocytic infiltrate of varied intensity in 64 specimens (89%) was associated with eosinophils in 16 (22%). In nine biopsy specimens with dermal eosinophilia stained for ...

Multinational Anal Squamous Cell Carcinoma Registry and Audit - Page 3Multinational Anal Squamous Cell Carcinoma Registry and Audit - Page 3
Anal Squamous Cell Carcinoma (ASCC) is an uncommon cancer with an incidence rate between 1 and 2 per 100000 per year. However, the incidence of ASCC is increasing rapidly, with up to 6.8% increase in men per year and 10.7% increase in women per year since 1971.. It is believed that the increasing numbers of HIV positive patients who are living longer on advanced antiretrovirals are likely to be contributing to the increasing burden of ASCC. Anal Intraepithelial Neoplasia (AIN) is the known precursor to ASCC. It is believed that by identifying and treating high grade AIN that ASCC could become a preventable cancer. ASCC also has excellent outcomes if identified early. Only 15% of ASCC present with metastasis and most patients are diagnosed with resectable T1 tumours. However, current guidelines are conflicting and not based on good quality clinical evidence, The limiting factor to providing good quality evidence is the large samples size required to observe the relationship between AIN ...

DARIERS DISEASE. What are the aims of this leaflet?. This leaflet has been written to help you understand more about Dariers disease. It tells you what it is, what causes it, what can be done about it, and where you can find out more about it.. What is Dariers disease?. It is a rare inherited skin condition characterised by the loss of binding (acantholysis) between skin surface cells and there is also some thickening of the skin. It is also known as Keratosis Follicularis. The nails and mouth may also be affected.. What causes Dariers disease?. It is the result of an abnormality in the gene involved in calcium transport within cells. The defective calcium transport leads to reduced cell binding. Normally, in the outer layer (epidermis) of the skin, the skin cells are held together like bricks cemented in a wall. In Dariers disease the sticky junctions that hold the skin cells together are not made properly, and the skin may be easily irritated and becomes inflamed and weeping. It is not ...

Evaluating Sirolimus to Treat Autoimmune Blistering Dermatosis Pemphigus - Tabular View - ClinicalTrials.govEvaluating Sirolimus to Treat Autoimmune Blistering Dermatosis Pemphigus - Tabular View - ClinicalTrials.gov
The purpose of this study is to explore a new medication for the skin disease termed pemphigus. Our specific aim is to determine whether the use of sirolimus will allow for a decrease in the dosage or possibly eliminate the need for corticosteroids, which so far is the only type of drug that can control this disease.. Pemphigus is an autoimmune disease characterized by blistering, caused by autoantibodies against certain cells in the skin. This disease most commonly occurs in individuals ages 50 and older, and it presents as painful shallow erosions and/or blisters in the mouth and/or skin. Pemphigus is very painful and uncomfortable, associated with impaired quality of life and significant morbidity. Severe or untreated cases of pemphigus can become fatal if the involved surface area becomes large enough to cause dehydration and/or infection. The first line of therapy, and the standard of care, for pemphigus remain to be systemic corticosteroids. However, corticosteroids have many known side ...

A case of ionizing radiation-induced pemphigus arised after X-ray therapy for mammary carcinoma is reported. After two weeks of X-ray delivery, erythema and erosions appeared on the radiated area. These lesions were interpreted as an inflammatory result of radiation and cured. After eighteen months, typical pemphigus bullous eruptions developed all over the body and oral mucosa. The importance of considering ionizing radiation-induced pemphigus among the attending side effects of radiotherapy is underlined and it is suggested to submit to dermatological attention every case of uncertain skin reaction..

Paraneoplastic pemphigus is an autoimmune acantholytic mucocutaneous disorder that rarely accompanies an overt or occult neoplasm. Typical features include painful mucosal erosive lesions and pruritic papulosquamous eruptions that often progress to blisters. The antibody is a unique immunoglobulin G that recognises epidermal proteins. We discuss the case of a 23-year-old woman who presented with anaplastic large cell lymphoma complicated by paraneoplastic pemphigus, rapidly resulting in fatal multiorgan failure..

Background: Captopril is an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor with sulphydryl groups in its chemical structure. It is commonly used as an antihypertensive drug. The occurrence of pemphigus vulgaris has repeatedly been reported in patients receiving captopril. The capacity of captopril and pemphigus serum to induce acantholysis, in vivo or in vitro, has been demonstrated experimentally. Objectives: To show that captopril and pemphigus serum, acting by a biochemical and immunological mechanism, respectively, trigger apoptosis. Methods: Human keratinocyte cells were treated with 15 mmol L)1 captopril or with pemphigus serum. DNA was extracted and the terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated deoxyuridine triphosphate nick end labelling method was used to detect apoptosis. Results: DNA fragmentation occurred after 72 h of treatment. Increased expression of p53, c-myc and inducible nitric oxide (NO) synthase (iNOS) mRNA were observed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in the treated cells ...
Targeted disruption of the pemphigus vulgaris antigen (desmoglein 3) by P J. Koch, M G. Mahoney et al.Targeted disruption of the pemphigus vulgaris antigen (desmoglein 3) " by P J. Koch, M G. Mahoney et al.
In patients with pemphigus vulgaris (PV), autoantibodies against desmoglein 3 (Dsg3) cause loss of cell-cell adhesion of keratinocytes in the basal and immediate suprabasal layers of stratified squamous epithelia. The pathology, at least partially, may depend on protease release from keratinocytes, but might also result from antibodies interfering with an adhesion function of Dsg3. However, a direct role of desmogleins in cell adhesion has not been shown. To test whether Dsg3 mediates adhesion, we genetically engineered mice with a targeted disruption of the DSG3 gene. DSG3 -/- mice had no DSG3 mRNA by RNase protection assay and no Dsg3 protein by immunofluorescence (IF) and immunoblots. These mice were normal at birth, but by 8-10 d weighed less than DSG3 +/- or +/+ littermates, and at around day 18 were grossly runted. We speculated that oral lesions (typical in PV patients) might be inhibiting food intake, causing this runting. Indeed, oropharyngeal biopsies showed erosions with histology

High cost medicine reviews :: SA HealthHigh cost medicine reviews :: SA Health
Indication: adult patients with pemphigus vulgaris and pemphigus foliaceus.. SAMEP recommendation: To list rituximab on the statewide high cost medicines formulary for adult patients with pemphigus vulgaris and pemphigus foliaceus who are refractory to conventional immunosuppression or who are steroid-dependent.. Rationale: Rituximab, in combination with short term prednisone, can induce remission in newly diagnosed pemphigus patients with a lower total prednisone dose than if relying on prednisone alone. The majority of patients treated with rituximab experienced at least one episode of complete remission off therapy (89%) at two years as compared to approximately a third (34%) of patients only receiving prednisone.. The rate of relapse at 24 months also favoured rituximab treated patients (24% versus 45%) and fewer patients in the rituximab arm had active lesions at 24 months or had no lesions but remained on significant prednisone doses (11% versus 64%). Rituximab has a steroid sparing effect ...

Keratolysis in a patient with pemphigus vulgaris | British Journal of OphthalmologyKeratolysis in a patient with pemphigus vulgaris | British Journal of Ophthalmology
Corneal involvement is a rare complication in patients with pemphigus vulgaris. Severe corneal involvement has never been reported except in the case of a 56 year old man with severe ocular involvement including conjunctivitis, corneal ulceration, and perforation despite immunosuppressive therapy.4 Although a causative organism was not isolated, the authors suggested that the complications were due to an infectious agent.. Two mechanisms have been suggested to cause the corneal erosion-bacteria or other pathogenic organisms that infect the cornea because of the epithelial defect and tear film disorder brought on by the corticosteroid and immunosuppressive therapy. Although the culture obtained from right ocular discharge before starting ofloxacin ointment showed a negative result, we could not deny the bacterial infection. We did not perform a bacterial or viral culture or polymerase chain reaction examinations using a corneal sample.. The second mechanism is an autoimmune mechanism against one ...

Background Paraneoplastic pemphigus (PNP) is a devastating autoimmune blistering disease, involving mucocutaneous and internal organs, and associated with underlying neoplasms. PNP is characterized by the production of autoantibodies targeting proteins of the plakin and cadherin families involved in maintenance of cell architecture and tissue cohesion. Nevertheless, the identity of an antigen of Mr 170,000 (p170), thought to be critical in PNP pathogenesis, has remained unknown. Methodology/Principal Findings Using an immunoprecipitation and mass spectrometry based approach, we identified p170 as alpha-2-macroglobuline-like-1, a broad range protease inhibitor expressed in stratified epithelia and other tissues damaged in the PNP disease course. We demonstrate that 10 PNP sera recognize alpha-2-macroglobuline-like-1 (A2ML1), while none of the control sera obtained from patients with bullous pemphigoid, pemphigus vulgaris, pemphigus foliaceus and normal subjects does.

PNP is an autoimmune disease resulting from an underlying tumour. It is thought that antigens associated with the tumour trigger an immune response that results in blistering of the skin near the tumour. Non-Hodgkins lymphoma is one of the two malignant tumours most commonly associated with PNP. Prognosis is poor. - Stock Image C029/2399

Those with benign familial chronic pemphigus have a decreased number of desmosomes in the skin. Desmosomes are like little rivets that hold the skin cells together. Because the skin cells are not as attached together as well as normal skin, conditions such as heat and frictional pressures may cause Hailey-Hailey disease to flare.. Benign Familial Chronic Pemphigus is a genetic disease. The predisposition to get this disease is carried within your genes. Children of affected people have a fifty-fifty chance of also getting the disease. About one third may get the condition without a family history.. ...

Background:Pemphigus is a life-threatening, autoimmune blistering disease, mediated by IgG autoantibodies. The aim of our study was to assess the usefulness of a new enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in detecting circulating pemphigus autoantibodies, and to compare its sensitivity and specificity with the indirect immunofluorescence (IIF) test. We also established the frequency of occurrence of pemphigus autoantibodies in relatives of our patients.Material/Methods:IIF and ELISA tests were performed in 24 patients with pemphigus vulgaris, 13 with pemphigus foliaceus, 56 healthy relatives, and 50 controls, selected according to sex and age.Results:The obtained results revealed high specificity and sensitivity of ELISA, comparable to the IIF test, especially in patients who were in the active stage of the disease. We also showed that the profile of anti-Dsg 1 and/or anti-Dsg 3 autoantibodies is associated with the clinical variant of pemphigus. The frequency of occurrence of pemphigus ...

Pemphigus describes a group of autoimmune blistering diseases that involve the epidermal surfaces of the skin, mucosa, or both. There are 3 broad categories: pemphigus vulgaris (PV), pemphigus foliaceus (PF), and paraneoplastic pemphigus (PNP). Pemphigus is mediated by an autoantibody that binds a specific component of the desmosomal plaque. The desmosomal plaque holds the keratinocytes of the skin and mucosa together. ...

Background: The use of saliva for the diagnosis of pemphigus vulgaris (PV) by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using desmoglein (Dsg)3 antigen has not been extensively documented, nor has the detection of serum IgA antibodies to Dsg3. Objectives: (i) To establish whether whole saliva might provide a suitable alternative to serum for diagnosing and monitoring PV; (ii) to investigate whether anti-Dsg3 IgA antibodies can be detected in serum and saliva and (iii) to establish whether there is an association between serum or saliva anti-Dsg3 antibodies and disease severity. Methods: Precoated Dsg3 ELISA plates were used to test serum and/or saliva for IgG and IgA antibodies. Matched serum and whole saliva samples were collected from 23 patients with PV, 17 healthy subjects and 19 disease controls. All patients with PV, disease controls and six healthy controls provided matched parotid saliva. Results: Whole saliva IgG antibodies to Dsg3 were detected in 14 of 23 patients (61%) and serum IgG ...

Background & Objective: Chronic non healing ulcers or scar undergoing malignant transformation is a rare phenomenon with an estimated incidence of 2%. Though, numerous predisposing factors have been identified, still it is rarely diagnosed and commonly mistaken for a benign condition. The objective of this study was to verify the efficacy of the Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology/ Scrape cytology of chronic non healing ulcers, and its use in the early detection of the malignant transformation, thereby facilitating early management. Methods: A total of 10 cases of chronic non healing ulcer with malignant transformation were included in the study where the initial diagnosis was made on Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology/Scrape cytology and later on confirmed on histopathology. Results: Squamous cell carcinoma (7 cases), acantholytic variant of Squamous Cell Carcinoma (1 case), malignant fibrous histiocytoma (1 case) and carcinosarcoma (1 case) was seen. A 100% concordance with histopathology was seen in

Paraneoplastic pemphigus - WikipediaParaneoplastic pemphigus - Wikipedia
Paraneoplastic pemphigus is an autoimmune disorder stemming from an underlying tumor. It is hypothesized that antigens associated with the tumor trigger an immune response resulting in blistering of the skin and mucous membranes. While patients with malignant and benign tumors are both at risk, malignancy is associated with high mortality rates (near 90%). Current treatment focuses on general wound healing and administering corticosteroids, which has not demonstrated a high success rate. Recent research developments aim to treat the underlying tumor in order to alleviate the symptoms of PNP. While the presence of lesions is the denominator among patients with PNP, the characteristics of the lesions differ. The five clinical presentations of lesions associated with PNP include: "Pemphigus-like": Flaccid blister (discrete), crusts over the raw exuding skin lesions "Pemphigoid-like": Tense blister(s) on brick red erythema "Erythema multiforme-like": Severe polymorphic skin and/or mucous membrane ...

Do not forget also that trauma on the nose has the potential to cause this problem. One example could be blowing it too hard in such a way that there is a rupture in the blood capillaries that can lead to small ulcers.. 3. Infections such as bacteria. Infections like bacterial infection can also this problem. It is important to understand that the nasal passages would normally act as a shield against things like bacteria and dust in the air we breathe. These are well trapped in the mucus on the nose hairs; however, when there is a crack inside the nasal passages, it is possible for the bacteria to cause some infections inside the lining which could cause these nose sores.. Staphylococcus bacteria are known to be one of the most common problems for nasal sores. In fact, the bacteria which are sometimes referred to as staph is ...

Hailey-Hailey disease, also known as benign chronic pemphigus, is a rare autosomal dominant cutaneous disorder that usually becomes manifest in the third or fourth decade of life with erythema, vesicles, and erosions involving the body folds, particularly the groin and axillary regions. Other sites of the body, such as the neck, perianal, and submammary regions, may likewise be affected (summary by Poblete-Gutierrez et al., 2004). This disorder was first described by the dermatologist brothers Hailey and Hailey (1939).

A tongue that is in good shape is taken as a prime indicator of your overall body being in the pink of health, and vice versa. So, conditions like tongue blisters can very well be symptomatic of some other grave health scare that might merit medical attention. This makes it all the more necessary not to take them lightly, and see a doctor immediately to ascertain the cause and get it treated accordingly.. The general rule of thumb recommended by medical experts is that if the blisters persist for longer than 2 weeks despite the prescribed primary treatment and care, the discomfort becomes unmanageable such that it keeps you from going about your daily business, or the condition tends to worsen progressively and is accompanied by fever. It is best to seek the help of your dentist to rule out the possibility of an oral infection or conditions that are rarer, such as pemphigus vulgaris or oral cancer.. In general, tongue blisters last for about a week and disappear on their own. However, you can ...

AtrophyAtrophy
Disuse atrophy of muscles and bones, with loss of mass and strength, can occur after prolonged immobility, such as extended bedrest, or having a body part in a cast (living in darkness for the eye, bedridden for the legs etc.). This type of atrophy can usually be reversed with exercise unless severe. Astronauts in microgravity must exercise regularly to minimize atrophy of their limb muscles. There are many diseases and conditions which cause atrophy of muscle mass. For example, diseases such as cancer and AIDS induce a body wasting syndrome called cachexia, which is notable for the severe muscle atrophy seen. Other syndromes or conditions which can induce skeletal muscle atrophy are congestive heart failure and liver disease. During aging, there is a gradual decrease in the ability to maintain skeletal muscle function and mass. This condition is called sarcopenia, and may be distinct from atrophy in its pathophysiology. While the exact cause of sarcopenia is unknown, it may be induced by a ...

The treatment varies depending on the type and severity; it is normally treated with topical corticosteroid cream.[6] ...
Skin conditionSkin condition
A skin condition, also known as cutaneous condition, is any medical condition that affects the integumentary system-the organ system that encloses the body and includes skin, hair, nails, and related muscle and glands.[1] The major function of this system is as a barrier against the external environment.[2] Conditions of the human integumentary system constitute a broad spectrum of diseases, also known as dermatoses, as well as many nonpathologic states (like, in certain circumstances, melanonychia and racquet nails).[3][4] While only a small number of skin diseases account for most visits to the physician, thousands of skin conditions have been described.[5] Classification of these conditions often presents many nosological challenges, since underlying causes and pathogenetics are often not known.[6][7] Therefore, most current textbooks present a classification based on location (for example, conditions of the mucous membrane), morphology (chronic blistering conditions), cause (skin conditions ...

Dermatitis herpetiformisDermatitis herpetiformis
In terms of pathology, the first signs of the condition may be observed within the dermis. The changes that may take place at this level may include edema, vascular dilatation, and cellular infiltration. It is common for lymphocytes and eosinophils to be seen. The bullae found in the skin affected by dermatitis herpetiformis are subepidermal and have rounded lateral borders. When looked at under the microscope, the skin affected by dermatitis herpetiformis presents a collection of neutrophils. They have an increased prevalence in the areas where the dermis is closest to the epidermis. Direct IMF studies of uninvolved skin show IgA in the dermal papillae and patchy granular IgA along the basement membrane. The jejunal mucosa may show partial villous atrophy, but the changes tend to be milder than in coeliac disease.[16] Immunological studies revealed findings that are similar to those of coeliac disease in terms of autoantigens.

... is primarily caused by uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase deficiency (UROD). Uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase occurs in nature as a homodimer of two subunits. It participates in the fifth step in heme synthesis pathway, and is active in the cytosol. This enzymatic conversion results in coproporphyrinogen III as the primary product. This is accomplished by the clockwise removal of the four carboxyl groups present in the cyclic uroporphyrinogen III molecule. Therefore, a deficiency in this enzyme causes the aforementioned buildup of uroporphyrinogen and hepta-carboxylic porphyrinogen, and to a lesser extent hexa-carboxylic porphyrinogen, and penta-carboxylic porphyrinogen in the urine, which can be helpful in the diagnosis of this disorder.[16][17] The dermatological symptoms of PCT that include blistering and lesions on sun-exposed areas of the skin are caused by a buildup of porphyrin compounds (specifically uroporphyrinogen) close to the surface of the skin that have been ...
Bullous pemphigoidBullous pemphigoid
Clinically, the earliest lesions may appear urticarial (like hives), but could also appear dermatitic, targetoid, lichenoid, nodular, or even without visible rash (essential pruritus)[1]. Tense bullae eventually erupt, most commonly at the inner thighs and upper arms, but the trunk and extremities are frequently both involved. Any part of the skin surface can be involved. Oral lesions are present in a minority of cases.[2] The disease may be acute, but typically will wax and wane. Several other skin diseases may have similar symptoms. However, milia are more common with epidermolysis bullosa acquisita, because of the deeper antigenic targets. A more ring-like configuration, with a central depression or centrally collapsed bullae may indicate linear IgA disease. Nikolsky's sign is negative unlike pemphigus vulgaris where it is positive.. ...
Cicatricial pemphigoidCicatricial pemphigoid
The autoimmune reaction most commonly affects the mouth, causing lesions in the gingiva or gums, but it can also affect areas of mucous membrane elsewhere in the body, such as the sinuses, genitals and anus. When the cornea of the eye is affected, repeated scarring may result in blindness. Localized cicatricial pemphigoid (also known as "Brunsting-Perry cicatricial pemphigoid"[1]) refers to a localised variant of cutaneous cicatricial pemphigoid involving the head and the neck without mucosal involvement.[1] Nikolsky's sign (gentle lateral pressure) on unaffected mucosa or skin raises a bulla. If no lesions are present on examination it may be useful way of demonstrating reduced epithelial adhesion. In contrast, in Pemphigus, the epithelium tends to disintegrate rather than form a bulla. Nikolsky's sign is present pemphigus and cicatricial pemphigoid, but not in bullous pemphigoid. ...
