Genome-wide mRNA expression profiling for Wild Type and Itch-/- Skin Transcriptomes by RNA sequencing

ABSTRACT: To test the hypothesis that defects in the termination of inflammatory signaling led to skin inflammation that results in the “Itchy” phenotype, we isolated RNA from the lesional skin of Itch-/- mice and from the skin of wild-type mice and performed genome-wide mRNA expression profiling by RNA sequencing. We ranked genes based on the fold change in their expression (increased or decreased) in Itch-/- skin relative to that in wild-type skin. The expression of several TNF–induced genes were increased in Itch-/- skin, including, IL-1?, IL-6, IL-11, IL-19, IL-1RL1, CCL4, CXCL3, CXCL2, CCL3, and CD14. mRNA profiles comparison between wild type (WT) skin and Itch-/- mice lesional skin

Deficiency in the E3 ubiquitin ligase Itch causes a skin-scratching phenotype in mice. We found that there was increased phosphorylation and activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase p38α in spontaneous and experimentally induced skin lesions of Itch-deficient (Itch-/-) mice. Itch bound directly to the TGF-β-activated kinase 1-binding protein 1 (Tab1) through a conserved PPXY motif and inhibited the activation of p38α. Knockdown of Tab1 by short hairpin RNA attenuated the prolonged p38α ...[more]

Project description:The autoinflammatory disorder, Neonatal-onset Multisystem Inflammatory Disease (NOMID) is the most severe phenotype of disorders caused by mutations in the CIAS1 gene that result in increased production and secretion of active IL-1≤. NOMID patients present with systemic and organ-specific inflammation of the skin, central nervous system and bony growth plates, and respond dramatically to treatment with IL-1 blocking agents. We compared the cellular infiltrates and transcriptome of skin biopsies from patients with NOMID (n=14) before treatment [lesional (LS) and non-lesional (pre-NL) skin] and after treatment (post-NL) with the IL-1 blocker anakinra (recombinant IL-1 receptor antagonist, Kineret®), to normal skin (n=5). Abundant neutrophils distinguish LS skin from pre-NL and post-NL skin. CD11c+ dermal dendritic cells and CD163+ macrophages expressed activated caspase-1 and are the likely sources of cutaneous IL-1 production. Treatment with anakinra led to the disappearance of neutrophils, but CD3+ T cells and HLA-DR+ cells remained elevated. Among the upregulated genes IL-6, IL-8, TNF, IL-17A, CCL20, and the neutrophil defensins DEFA1 and DEFA3 were differentially regulated in LS tissues (compared to normal skin). Important significantly downregulated pathways included IL-1R/TLR signaling, type I and II cytokine receptor signaling, mitochondrial dysfunction, and antigen presentation. Differential expression and regulation of microRNAs and pathways involved in post-transcriptional modification are indicative of epigenetic modification in the various tissue states. Overall, the dysregulated genes and pathways suggest extensive “adaptive” mechanisms to control inflammation, and maintain tissue homeostasis in the skin of patients with NOMID. To determine the transcsriptome of skin samples in Neonatal-onset Multisystem Inflammatory Disease (NOMID), using pre-treatment non-lesional (pre-NL, n=4); lesional (LS, n=6); post-treatment non-lesional (post-NL, n=8), and normal skin (n=5).

Project description:Background: Plaque psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune disorder characterized by the development of red scaly plaques. To date psoriasis lesional skin transcriptome has been extensively studied, whereas only few proteomic studies of psoriatic skin are available. Aim: The aim of this study was to compare protein expression patterns of lesional and normally looking skin of psoriasis patients with skin of the healthy volunteers, reveal differentially expressed proteins and identify changes in cell metabolism caused by the disease. Methods: Skin samples of normally looking and lesional skin donated by psoriasis patients (n = 5) and samples of healthy skin donated by volunteers (n = 5) were analyzed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). After protein identification and data processing, the set of differentially expressed proteins was subjected to protein ontology analysis to characterize changes in biological processes, cell components and molecular functions in the patients' skin compared to skin of the healthy volunteers. Results: The performed analysis identified 405 and 59 differentially expressed proteins in lesional and normally looking psoriatic skin compared to healthy control. We discovered decreased expression of KNG1, APOE, HRG, THBS1 and PLG in normally looking skin of the patients. Presumably, these changes were needed to protect the epidermis from spontaneous activation of kallikrein-kinin system and delay the following development of inflammatory response. In lesional skin, we identified several large groups of proteins with coordinated expression. Mainly, these proteins were involved in different aspects of protein and RNA metabolism, namely ATP synthesis and consumption; intracellular trafficking of membrane-bound vesicles, pre-RNA processing, translation, chaperoning and degradation in proteasomes/immunoproteasomes. Conclusion: Our findings explain the molecular basis of metabolic changes caused by disease in skin lesions, such as faster cell turnover and higher metabolic rate. They also indicate on downregulation of kallikrein-kinin system in normally looking skin of the patients that would be needed to delay exacerbation of the disease.
