In order to determine if our cell lines presented these EOC markers, we monitored protein expression of Krt7, Krt8 and Krt18 by western blot. | |||||||||||||||

Dysbalanced K8/K18 expression precedes MDB formation, likely increases keratin misfolding and predisposes to posttranslational modifications, which may interfere with keratin refolding and/or repair. | |||||||||||||||

Several pathogenic mechanisms were implicated in this process (Fig. 4; Dobson 2004):1.Enhanced oxidative stress2.Disproportional K8/K18 expression together with keratin modifications3.Chaperone dysfunction4.Elevated p62 levels5.Insufficient protein degradation | |||||||||||||||

The elevated K8/K18 ratio is crucial for MDB formation as shown in K18-knockout and K8 overexpressing animals, who are predisposed to MDB formation already upon short exposure to DDC and even form MDBs spontaneously during aging (Magin et al. 1998; Nakamichi et al. 2005). | |||||||||||||||
