Mutant p63 disrupts the key specification switch from the multipotent cell state to stratified epithelia during epithelial differentiation/in ectodermal dysplasia disorders

ABSTRACT: Transcription factor p63 is a key regulator of stratified epithelia. In humans mutations in p63 are associated with developmental disorders that manifest defects in stratified epithelia including the epidermis. We established an epidermal commitment model using human pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) and characterized differentiation defects of PSCs carrying p63 mutations. Transcriptome analyses revealed distinct phases of epidermal commitment, multipotent simple epithelial, basal stratified epithelial and mature epidermal fates. Differentiation defects of p63 mutant PSCs occurred during the specification switch from the simple epithelium to the basal stratified epithelial fate. Single-cell transcriptome and pseudotime analyses identified enhanced mesodermal signatures associated with the deviated commitment route of p63 mutant PSCs. Repressing mesodermal differentiation improved epidermal commitment of PSCs. Our study demonstrate that p63 is required for specification of stratified epithelia but not sufficient for epidermal maturation. It provides insights into disease mechanisms underlying defects of stratified epithelia caused by p63 mutations.

Mutant p63 affects epidermal cell identity through rewiring the enhancer landscape

Project description:<p>Transcription factor p63 is a key regulator of epidermal keratinocyte proliferation and differentiation. Mutations in the p63 DNA-binding domain are associated with Ectrodactyly Ectodermal Dysplasia Cleft Lip/Palate (EEC) syndrome. Underlying molecular mechanism of these mutations however remain unclear. Here we characterized the transcriptome and epigenome of p63 mutant keratinocytes derived from EEC patients. The transcriptome of p63 mutant keratinocytes deviated from the normal epidermal cell identity. Epigenomic analyses showed an altered enhancer landscape in p63 mutant keratinocytes contributed by loss of p63-bound active enhancers and by unexpected gain of enhancers. The gained enhancers were frequently bound by deregulated transcription factors such as RUNX1. Reversing RUNX1 overexpression partially rescued deregulated gene expression and the altered enhancer landscape. Our findings identify an unreported disease mechanism whereby mutant p63 rewires the enhancer landscape and affects epidermal cell identity, consolidating the pivotal role of p63 in controlling the enhancer landscape of epidermal keratinocytes.</p>

Cloning and Variation of Ground State Intestinal Stem Cells

Project description:Despite major advances with embryonic and induced pluripotent stem cells or lineage-committed, p63-expressing stem cells of stratified epithelia, we know less about the indigenous stem cells of the gastrointestinal tract, pancreas, liver, and other columnar epithelia which collectively resist cloning in their elemental states. Here we demonstrate the cloning of highly immature epithelial stem cells from defined regions of the human intestine and colon. We show that single cell-derived pedigrees can be propagated indefinitely while often sustaining minimal copy number and sequence variation. Despite prolonged cultivation, these pedigrees from disparate regions of the intestinal tract respond to identical differentiation signals by formation of epithelia with eponymous structural and gene expression features. These data suggest developmental patterning of cell-autonomous commitment programs in stem cells that enforce specialization along the gastrointestinal tract and predict the utility of these cells in disease modeling and regenerative medicine.

Transcription profiling of human cell lines from Hay Wells Syndrome-Derived TAp63alphaQ540L mutant rveals impaired transcriptional and cell growth regulatory activity

Project description:p63 mutations have been associated with several human hereditary disorders characterized by ectodermal dysplasia such as EEC syndrome, ADULT syndrome and AEC syndrome . The location and functional effects of the mutations that underlie these syndromes reveal a striking genotype-phenotype correlation. Unlike EEC and ADULT that result from missense mutations in the DNA-binding domain of p63, AEC is solely caused by missense mutations in the SAM domain of p63. We report a study on the TAp63a isoform, the first to be expressed during development of the embryonic epithelia, and on its naturally occurring Q540L mutant derived from an AEC patient. To assess the effects of the Q540L mutation, we generated stable cell lines expressing TAp63a wt, DeltaNp63 alpha or the TAp63 alpha-Q540L mutant protein and used them to systematically compare the cell growth regulatory activity of the mutant and wt p63 proteins and to generate, by microarray analysis, a comprehensive profile of differential gene expression. We found that the Q540L substitution impairs the transcriptional activity of TAp63a and causes misregulation of genes involved in the control of cell growth and epidermal differentiation. Experiment Overall Design: Three biological replicates of not induced TAp63 alpha wt, three biological replicates of induced TAp63 alpha wt, three biological replicates of not induced TAp63Q540L alpha mutant and two biological replicates of induced TAp63Q540L alpha mutant

Transcription factor p63 bookmarks genomic loci in epithelial cells and regulates a subset of target genes during epidermal differentiation through dynamic enhancers (RNA-Seq)

Project description:Tightly controlled gene expression orchestrated by the transcription factor p63 during epithelial differentiation is important for development of epithelial-related structures such as epidermis, limb and craniofacial regions. How p63 regulates spatial and temporal expression of its target genes during these developmental processes is however not yet clear. By epigenomics profiling in stem cells established from one of these epithelial structures, the epidermis, we provide a global map of p63-bound regulatory elements that are categorized as single enhancers and clustered enhancers during epidermal differentiation. Transcriptomics analysis shows dynamic gene expression patterns during epidermal differentiation that correlates with the activity of p63-bound enhancers rather than with p63 binding itself. Only a subset of p63-bound enhancers is active in epidermal stem cells, and inactive p63-bound enhancers appear to function in gene regulation during the development of other epithelial tissues. Our data suggest a paradigm that p63 bookmarks genomic loci during the commitment of the epithelial lineage and regulates gene expression in different epithelial tissues through tissue-specific active enhancers. The catalogue of differentially expressed epidermal genes including non-coding RNAs and epithelial enhancers reported here provides a rich resource for studies of epithelial development and related diseases.

Expression data from p63 siRNA in squamous cell lines

Project description:p63, a homologue of the tumor suppressor p53, is critical for the development and maintenance of squamous epithelia. p63 is specifically expressed in the basal layers of stratified epithelial tissues, and is considered to be a specific marker for cells of this type. The role of p63 in tumorigenesis remains poorly defined. Numerous studies have highlighted the oncogenic potential of the predominant p63 isoform, ΔNp63α; however, data suggests that other p63 proteins can act as tumor suppressors or alter the metastatic potential of tumors. ΔNp63α can act as a transcriptional repressor, but the link between the transcriptional functions of p63 and its biological role is still unclear. In this study, we used a loss-of-function approach to investigate the transcriptional programs controlled by p63. Keywords: cell line panel

Disrupted transcriptional network in ΔNp63 AEC tissue model [ChIP-Seq]

Project description:The transcriptional basis for disrupted epidermal differentiation arising from TP63 AEC mutations remains to be elucidated. Here we present an organotypic model of AEC dysfunction that phenocopies differentiation defects observed in AEC patient skin. Transcriptional analysis of model AEC tissue revealed impaired induction of differentiation regulators, including OVOL1, GRHL3, KLF4, PRDM1 and ZNF750. Genome wide binding analyses of TP63 during epidermal differentiation showed direct binding of OVOL1, GRHL3, and ZNF750 promoters suggesting AEC mutants prevent normal activation of these targets by direct transcriptional interference. Remarkably, exogenous ZNF750 restores impaired epidermal differentiation caused by AEC mutation. Thus, repression of ZNF750 is central to disrupted epidermal differentiation in model AEC tissue.
