Abstract:
:Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) is a potentially lethal mucocutaneous blistering disease characterized by IgG autoantibodies (AuAbs) binding to epidermal keratinocytes and inducing a devastating blistering disease affecting oral and/or esophageal surfaces and, sometimes, also the skin. Anti-keratinocyte AuAbs developed by the desmoglein (Dsg) 1/3 AuAb-negative acute PV patients are pathogenic, as they induced acantholysis and epidermal split in the experimental models of PV in vitro and in vivo. These PV patients have various combinations of AuAbs to keratinocyte muscarinic acetylcholine receptor subtype M3 (M3AR), the secretory pathway Ca2+/Mn2+-ATPase isoform 1 (SPCA1), and desmocollin 3 whose relative concentrations correlate with the disease activity. In this study, we identified new molecular mechanisms of the synergistic cooperation of AuAbs to M3AR and SPCA1 in inducing acantholysis in the anti-Dsg 1/3 AuAb-negative PV patients. Anti-M3AR AuAb was found to play an important role in determining the level of intraepidermal split just above the basal cells, caspase to mediate early pro-apoptotic events triggered by anti-SPCA1 AuAb, and the neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) to contribute to the pathobiological actions of both anti-M3AR and anti-SPCA1 AuAbs. Altogether, these novel results support our original hypothesis that pemphigus acantholysis is a complex disease process (also known as apoptolysis) initiated by AuAbs directed against different keratinocyte proteins that play important roles in supporting cell viability and regulating vital cell functions.
