Abstract

Cicatricial pemphigoid is a heterogeneous group of autoimmune subepidermal blistering diseases associated most commonly with autoantibodies to bullous pemphigoid (BP)180 and less frequently with those to laminin 5 or type VII collagen. In addition, a few cases have been described with autoantibodies to the beta4 subunit of alpha6beta4 integrin. We describe a patient with extensive disease of ocular, oral, pharyngeal, laryngeal and genital mucous membranes that healed with scarring of conjunctivae. IgG autoantibodies bound to the dermal-epidermal junction on direct immunofluorescence (IF) microscopy and to the epidermal side of 1 mol L(-1) NaCl-split skin on indirect IF microscopy. Our patient's circulating IgG recognized a 205-kDa protein in extracts of 293T cells transfected with the beta4 subunit of alpha6beta4 integrin and in the cell extract of DJM-1 cells. Our patient's IgG and IgA autoantibodies also reacted with full-length BP180 derived from epidermal extracts and the ectodomain of BP180 (LAD-1) derived from culture supernatant of keratinocytes. In addition, a weak IgG reaction with BP230 was noted. The disease rapidly responded to dexamethasone-cyclophosphamide pulse therapy, and immunoblot reactivity to both beta4 int...Continue Reading

Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases occur as a result of an attack by the immune system on the body’s own tissues resulting in damage and dysfunction. There are different types of autoimmune diseases, in which there is a complex and unknown interaction between genetics and the environment. Discover the latest research on autoimmune diseases here.

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.
