RNAseq changes in fibroblasts after treatment with selected protein(s) or E16.5 skin extract

ABSTRACT: Purpose: To identify the cellular processes upregulated in fibroblasts after treatment with selected protein(s) or E16.5 skin extract Methods: To explore the mechanism of extract-induced HF neogenesis, adult dermal fibroblasts were cultured in the presence of E16.5 extract or selected protein(s) for 3 days before being tested. Results: we determined how the exposure of adult fibroblasts to E16.5 extract, the selected protein mix or each of the selected proteins and compared the resultant transcriptomes with those of adult DP and embryonic dermal fibroblasts. Conclusions: Gene expression of adult fibroblasts exposed to E16.5 extract and selected proteins mix, the key DP signature genes became upregulated. Fibroblasts mRNA profiles of mouse with different treatments and adult DP and embryonic dermal fibroblasts were generated by next generation sequencing.

Project description:Adult mammalian skin wound healing is typically accompanied by fibrotic scar that impairs normal skin function and regeneration of skin appendages. Interestingly, however, in adult mice, large severe skin injuries exhibit de novo formation of HFs following severe skin injuries (a phenomenon termed wound-induced HF neogenesis, WIHN). Understanding the competent cell types and molecular mechanisms that enable regenerative wound healing will be critical for developing treatments that restore skin function after injury. We described the existence of an adult bipotent hair follicle dermal stem cell (hfDSC) that functions to regenerate the connective tissue sheath and to populate the DP with new cells (Rahmani et al., 2014). Based on this, we hypothesized that the mesenchymal cells comprised within the neogenic HFs might originate from hfDSCs. To test this, we employed αSMACreERT2:ROSAYFP and Hic1CreERT2:TDTmt mice to examine the contribution of hfDSCs or hfDSCs and reticular/hypodermal progenitors, respectively, to the formation of neodermis and regeneration of de novo HFs. Mice received full-thickness excision wounds (>1 cm2) and then harvested at 18-140 days post-wounding (dpw). αSMA+ve and Hic1-lineage cells were activated upon wounding, migrated into the wound, and contributed to both DP and DS in almost all de novo-formed HFs. Surprisingly, hfDSCs contributed only a minority of cells (20%) to nascent DP cells, whereas Hic1-lineage cells generated >90% of the neogenic DP cells. In both cases, cells integrating into neogenic HF mesenchyme appeared to restore the hfDSC pool, since they repopulated the neogenic mesenchyme over successive regenerative hair cycles. Finally, using an ex vivo HF formation assay, we found that prospectively isolated extrafollicular Hic-lineage cells could participate in HF formation when exposed to a permissive environment. Our data reveal that despite their origin in the reticular/hypodermis, Hic1-lineage dermal progenitors are able to adopt a regenerative response during wound healing if provided with a permissive local environment.
