Disease relevance of DSC3

 

Psychiatry related information on DSC3

  • Association of DSC1, a gene modulated by adrenergic stimulation, with Alzheimer's disease [4].
  • Increasing chain length corresponds to a temperature effect, which was quantified for different lipids, depending on the head group structure using isotherm (two-dimensional systems) and DSC (three-dimensional systems) measurements [5].
  • This study used DSC fMRI to map cerebellar blood volume in patients with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder and healthy controls [6].
  • A number of qualitative and quantitative methods such as UV, IR, TLC, GLC, DSC, EPR as well as organoleptic and gravimetric analysis were used to determine and analyse any changes resulting from irradiation [7].
  • However, preliminary work suggests that DSC MRI may also provide clinically important information for the evaluation of patients with neuropsychiatric disorders, especially dementia and schizophrenia [8].
 

High impact information on DSC3

  • Morpholino knockdown in zebrafish embryos revealed a requirement for dsc2 in the establishment of the normal myocardial structure and function, with reduced desmosomal plaque area, loss of the desmosome extracellular electron-dense midlines, and associated myocardial contractility defects [9].
  • These data identify DSC2 mutations as a cause of ARVC in humans and demonstrate that physiologic levels of DSC2 are crucial for normal cardiac desmosome formation, early cardiac morphogenesis, and cardiac function [9].
  • Two examples include the antimetastatic, tumor suppressor genes, desmocollin 3 (DSC3) and MASPIN, which are frequently silenced in this manner in human breast cancer [10].
  • The resulting polymers were characterized by (1)H and (13)C NMR, GPC, and DSC [11].
  • A series of rod-coil molecules (n-x, where n represents the number of repeating units in a PPO coil and x the number of phenyl groups in a rod segment) with variation in the molecular length, but an identical rod to coil volume ratio was synthesized, and their self-assembling behavior was investigated by using DSC and X-ray scatterings [12].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of DSC3

 

Biological context of DSC3

  • DSC3 was assigned to chromosome 18 by PCR analysis of rodent-human somatic cell hybrids, where it appears to be closely linked to all the other desmosomal cadherin genes [16].
  • The DSC1 gene comprises 17 exons spanning approximately 33 kb on 18q12.1, and the DSC3 gene comprises 17 exons spanning approximately 49 kb on 18q12 [17].
  • The whole DSC/DSG gene complex occupies no more than about 700 kb, and the genes are arranged in the order cen-3'-DSC3-DSC2-DSC1-5'-5'-DSG1-DSG3-D SG2-3'-tel, so that the two gene clusters are transcribed outward from the interlocus region [18].
  • The reactivity of IgG antibodies with Dsc3 was confirmed by COS-7 cell cDNA transfection method using cDNA of human Dsc1 to Dsc3 [1].
  • This reactivation is a result of wt p53 binding to its consensus DNA-binding sites within the MASPIN and DSC3 promoters, stimulating histone acetylation, and enhancing chromatin accessibility of their promoters [19].
 

Anatomical context of DSC3

  • This reactivity was confirmed by positive IgA immunofluorescence with Dsc2 and Dsc3 expressed on COS-7 cells [20].
  • INTRODUCTION: Desmocollin 3 (DSC3) is a member of the cadherin superfamily of calcium-dependent cell adhesion molecules and a principle component of desmosomes [2].
  • Furthermore, DSC3 expression is limited to cells of epithelial origin and its expression of mRNA and protein is lost in a high proportion of breast tumor cell lines (79%) [2].
  • We propose that the differentiation-specific desmocollin isoforms desmocollin-1 and desmocollin-3 are functionally equivalent in basal epidermal cells and suggest that their changing expression patterns are markers, but not regulators, of the initial steps in keratinocyte differentiation [21].
  • The desmocollins exhibit tissue-specific patterns of expression; only Dsc2 is expressed in normal colonic epithelium [3].
 

Associations of DSC3 with chemical compounds

  • Of the 23 specimens showing a loss of DSC3 expression, 13 (56%) were associated with cytosine hypermethylation of the promoter region [2].
  • By immunogold post embedding technique, we studied in anagen HFs the modulation of the synthesis of desmocollin 1 (Dsc1), a transmembrane glycoprotein specifically synthesized in the IRS and in the companion layer [22].
  • A variety of techniques including (1)H NMR, (13)C NMR, (29)Si NMR, FTIR, XRD, DSC, and, especially, static and dynamic light scattering and viscosimetry were combined to confirm the presence of the ordered ladderlike structure of polymer A-LPMS [23].
  • Six ethylene/propylene model copolymers have been prepared via acyclic diene metathesis (ADMET) polymerization and characterized for primary and higher level structure using in-depth NMR, IR, DSC, WAXD, and GPC analysis [24].
  • Gradual addition of sodium didecyl phosphate (C(10)()C(10)()(-)()) leads to the formation of catanionic vesicles, which were characterized by cryo-electron microscopy, and their main phase transition temperatures (DSC) and zeta-potentials [25].
 

Other interactions of DSC3

  • Adhesion between desmosomal junctions is mediated by structural proteins of the cadherin family, viz. three desmocollins (DSC) and three desmogleins (DSG) [26].
  • Both surfactants exhibited single endotherms upon DSC, with peak temperatures Tm at 21.7 and 20.1 degrees C for DSP and MSP, respectively [27].
  • OTA induced proMMP-9 and alphaSMA overexpression, decreases of E-cadherin and N-cadherin, and DSC-2 up-regulation [28].
