    R&D Systems human anti dsg2
    (A) Schematic of desmosome structure. (B-D) Representative STED images of desmosomes showing a characteristic ‘railroad track’ pattern in (B) MCF7 WT cells, (C) MCF7 K19-KO cells, and (D) MCF7 K19-GfP cells. The desmosomes were immunolabeled for DPC (green) and <t>Dsg2</t> (red). Scale bar: 500 nm. (E) The boxed area from the representative STED images of MCF7 WT cells shows a closer look at an individual DP railroad track with Dsg2 between the two parallel DP plaques. Scale bar: 200 nm. (F) Line-scan analysis of DPC and Dsg2 fluorescence intensity (indicated by the dashed line in E). (G) Quantification of DPC-DPC distance from WT and K19-KO cells showing that desmosomes in WT cells are wider than K19-KO cells. In all boxplots, the box represents the 25th and 75th percentiles with the median indicated and whiskers reach 1.5 times the interquartile range (IQR), defined as the difference between the 25th and 75th percentiles. Data points outside the whiskers are shown as outliers. Number of datapoints (n) = 630 (WT), 505 (K19-KO); Number of replicates (N) = 3. Mann-Whitney’s U test; ***, P<0.001. (H) Quantification of DPC-DPC distance in K19-KO, WT, and K19-GFP cells. Desmosomes in WT and K19-GFP cells are wider than K19-KO cells. n = 505 (K19-KO), 630 (WT), 716 (K19-GFP); N = 3. Kruskal-Wallis Test, followed by Dunn’s multiple comparison Test; ***, P<0.001.

    Techniques Used: Immunolabeling, Fluorescence, Comparison

    (A) Schematic of the desmosome under tension. The N-terminal of DP transitions from a closed conformation to an open conformation. (B) Quantification of desmosome half-unit widths (Dsg2-DPC distance) from WT and K19-KO cells. n = 1260 (WT), 1010 (K19-KO); N = 3. Mann-Whitney’s U test; ***, P<0.001. The distances between Dsg2 and DPC is significantly greater in the WT compared to the K19-KO cells. (C) Quantification of desmosome half-unit widths (Dsg2-DPN distance) from WT and K19-KO cells. n = 692 (WT), 826 (K19-KO); N = 3. Mann-Whitney’s U test; ns, P>0.05. The Dsg2-DPN distance in both cell lines are similar. (D) The mean values from the results in B and C are summarized in the bar chart to compare the DP length (DPN-DPC distance) between the WT and K19-KO cells. The DP length is 66 nm for the WT and 33 nm for the K19-KO, indicating that DP extends 33 nm in the WT cells. (E) Dispase assay after 24 h plating. The confluent cell sheets are treated with 4 mM EGTA for 1 h. The images show the intact cell sheets for WT, K19-KO, and K19-GFP rescued cells before stress and fragmented cell sheets after applying mechanical stress. (F) Quantification of the dispase assay from K19-KO, WT, and K19-GFP cells. n = 12 (KO), 12 (WT), 9 (K19-GFP); N = 3. Kruskal-Wallis Test, followed by Dunn’s multiple comparison Test; ***, P<0.001. The K19-KO cell sheets show a greater number of fragments compared to WT cell sheets, while K19-GFP cell sheets generate a similar number of fragments as WT. This indicates that elongation of DP strengthens intercellular adhesion in WT and K19-GFP cells.

    Fig. 3. DSG2 expression in MM is strongly associated with reduced survival, independent of NSD2. (A) Microarray dataset GSE4581 was analysed for expression of DSG2 using probe set 1553105. Visual inspection of the data spread revealed a cluster of samples with elevated DSG2 expression. A 70/30 percentile split was applied to the data, which cleanly separated these DSG2-low and DSG2-high populations, as shown, for further analysis. (B) Overall survival was compared between the DSG2-low (lower 70%, n = 289) and DSG2-high (upper 30%, n = 125) subsets using Kaplan–Meier analysis. P < 0.01 (C) Expression of DSG2 was compared between patients grouped into disease subtypes according to gene expression signatures. DSG2 expression was significantly greater in the MS subset compared to all others (Kruskal–Wallis test). (D, E) Scatterplots comparing expression of DSG2 and NSD2 genes in all samples (D) or non-MS samples only (E). Dotted lines indicate thresholds for expression based on 70th percentile (DSG2) or 80th percentile (NSD2). Values represent the number of samples in each quadrant. (F) The non-MS patient cohort was stratified into DSG2-low and DSG2-high subsets and overall patient survival compared using Kaplan–Meier analysis.

    Fig. 4. Differential gene expression analysis comparing DSG2-low and DSG2-high subsets. Dataset GSE4581 was stratified into DSG2-low (blue bar) and DSG2-high (red bar) patient subsets as per Fig. 3, and genes differentially expressed between the two groups were identified and displayed in heatmaps. Clustering of genes displayed in the heatmap was unsupervised and shown as analyses of the entire patient cohort (A), or only the subgroup of patients lacking MMSET expression (MS-neg; B).
