Transcriptomic analysis and identification of paracrine factors responsible for protective effects of keratinocytes on UVB-mediated melanocyte responses

ABSTRACT: Ultraviolet radiation (UVR) is detrimental to human skin through triggering various types of cellular damage accountable for photodamage and increased risk of developing skin cancers including cutaneous non-melanoma and melanoma. UVB irradiation can cause the loss of cellular integrity, direct damage to DNA and mediate cellular responses including apoptosis and oxidative stress in skin cells including melanocytes (MC). We previously reported that nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), a transcription factor regulating antioxidant defenses, in keratinocytes (KC) played a protective role in UVB-induced DNA damage and apoptosis in MC. In this study, we will employ transcriptomic approaches to determine the candidate paracrine factors secreted by KC responsible for their protective effects on UVB-mediated MC responses including oxidative stress, apoptosis and melanogenesis. Then, the protective effects of the candidate paracrine factors on UVB-induced MC responses will be determined using small-interfering RNA-mediated silencing of the candidate paracrine factor (siPF) in MC-KC co-culture system and mouse model of photoaging.

C/EBPβ suppresses keratinocyte autonomous type 1 IFN response and p53 to increase cell survival and susceptibility to UVB-induced skin cancer

Project description:p53 is activated by DNA damage and oncogenic stimuli to regulate senescence, apoptosis and cell-cycle arrest, which are essential to prevent cancer. Here, we utilized UVB radiation, a potent inducer of DNA damage, p53, apoptosis and skin cancer to investigate the mechanism of CCAAT/enhancer binding protein-β (C/EBPβ) in regulating p53-mediated apoptosis in keratinocytes and to test whether the deletion of C/EBPβ in epidermis can protect mice from UVB-induced skin cancer. UVB-treatment of C/EBPβ skin conditional knockout (CKOβ) mice increased p53 protein levels in epidermis and enhanced p53-dependent apoptotic activity 3-fold compared with UVB-treated control mice. UVB increased C/EBPβ levels through a p53-dependent pathway and stimulated the formation of a C/EBPβ-p53 protein complex; knockdown of C/EBPβ increased p53 protein stability in keratinocytes. These results suggest a p53-C/EBPβ feedback loop, whereby C/EBPβ, a transcriptional target of a p53 pathway, functions as a survival factor by negatively regulating p53 apoptotic activity in response to DNA damage. RNAseq analysis of UVB-treated CKOβ epidermis unexpectedly revealed that type 1 interferon (IFN) pathway was the most highly enriched pathway. Numerous pro-apoptotic interferon stimulated genes were upregulated including some known to enhance p53 apoptosis. Our results indicate that p53 and IFN pathways function together in response to DNA damage to result in the activation of extrinsic apoptosis pathways and caspase 8 cleavage. Last, we observed CKOβ mice were resistant to UVB-induced skin cancer. Our results suggest that C/EBPβ represses apoptosis through keratinocyte autonomous suppression of the type 1 IFN response and p53 to increase cell survival and susceptibility to UVB-induced skin cancer.

Differentially expressed genes induced by UVB stimulation between the P2ry6+/+ and P2ry6-/- mice

Project description:Considering that human skin cancer is predominantly attributed to UV radiation from sunlight, additional investigations are needed to elucidate the role of P2RY6 in UVB-induced skin carcinogenesis. Surprisingly, we find that P2ry6 deletion exhibits marked promotion to UVB-induced skin papilloma formation compared with wild-type mice, suggesting its tumor-suppressive role in UVB-induced skin cancer. Additionally, P2ry6 knockout promotes mouse skin hyperplasia induced by short-term UVB irradiation, while UDP, the ligand of P2RY6, can inhibit UVB-induced skin damage. Furthermore, UVB irradiation can significantly upregulate P2RY6 expression in mouse and human skin cells. These results indicate that P2RY6 plays a crucial protective role in resisting UVB-induced skin damage and carcinogenesis. At the molecular level, P2RY6 deletion inhibits ubiquitination and expression of XPC after UVB irradiation in keratinocytes, resulting in the accumulation of CPDs (cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers). P2RY6 deletion also activates PI3K/AKT signaling pathway in vitro and in vivo. The CPD accumulation and inflammatory responses enhanced by P2RY6 deletion are reversed by an AKT inhibitor. These findings suggest that P2RY6 acts as a tumor suppressor in UVB-induced skin cancer by regulating PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.

BCL11A deficiency protects epidermis from UVB-induced damage through promotion of autophagy

Project description:As a major environmental pathogenic factor for various skin diseases, UVB radiation leads to oxidative stress and biomacromolecule damage. Autophagy is a highly conserved catabolic process and serves as one of the main mechanisms to maintain cellular homeostasis. Here, by CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene deletion, we demonstrate that the essential transcriptional repressor BCL11A is involved in autophagy regulation and participates in the UVB-induced stress response. BCL11A deficiency increases autophagosome formation and enhances the intensity of autophagy flux with or without UVB stress. Mechanistically, ACSS3, rather than autophagy-related genes, is identified as the direct target gene and transcriptionally repressed by BCL11A. Further, BCL11A deficiency reduces DNA damage and ROS to promote survival and inhibit apoptosis under UVB irradiation, which is blocked by pharmacological inhibition of autophagy or BCL11A overexpression. Collectively, BCL11A deficiency promotes autophagy activation to clear ROS and DNA damage, thereby protecting epidermal cells from UVB-induced death.

Differentially expressed genes induced with or without UVB stimulation in mice

Project description:Skin cancer is the most prevalent cancer in humans, especially in the United States, Australia, and New Zealand. Australia and New Zealand are the two countries with the highest rates of skin cancer in the world, about four times higher than the United States, the United Kingdom and Canada. According to statistics, one American dies of skin cancer every hour. Studies have shown that ultraviolet radiation is the main cause of skin cancer, and ultraviolet rays are mainly divided into UVA, UVB and UVC according to wavelength, UVA and UVB can cause DNA damage, and UVB is the main factor that induces skin cancer. UVB is primarily a direct damage to cellular DNA and generally includes the formation of pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) and 6-4 photoproducts (6-4PPs). UVB can also cause mutations in tumor suppressor genes such as p53, ptch, and ras. These bases the mutation will promote the activation of related signaling pathways, thereby inducing the production of tumors.In this study, we will use gene chip technology to screen out UVB-sensitive genes, and then select the genes of the UVB-sensitive GPCR family from these genes, and further use PCR for verification, so as to identify UVB-sensitive GPCRs, which will provide a basis for further experimental research.

RNASeq of juvenile keratinocytes, melanocytes, fibroblasts and whole skin

Project description:We used whole transcriptome sequencing (RNA-Seq) to assess differential gene expression of normal human melanocytes with respect to keratinocytes, fibroblasts and whole skin. We have identified a number of genes and pathways, which are characteristic or unique for MC compared to KC and FB. We also demonstrated the extent of the difference between genes detectable in MC culture and the whole skin. The present results reveal melanocytes as highly proliferative cells with stem cell-like properties.

Regulation of human skin pigmentation in situ by repetitive UV exposure - Molecular characterization of responses to UVA, UVB and SSR

Project description:To test the hypothesis that different mechanisms and/or factors might be involved in physiological pigmentary responses of the skin to different types of UV, we used whole human genome microarrays and immunohistochemical analyses to characterize human skin in situ to examine how melanocyte-specific proteins and paracrine melanogenic factors are regulated by repetitive exposure to suberythemal doses of different types of UV (UVA, UVB or SSR). Six volunteers with skin type II-III were irradiated with SSR, UVA or UVB radiation for 2 weeks (5 times per week, 10 times total) after preliminary determination of their MEDs. Biopsies were taken 3 days after the last irradiation.

UV Photoprotection and Long-lasting Pigmentation from UVA and/or UVB

Project description:To test whether there is a photoprotective benefit after different types of suberythemal repetitive UV, a 1.5 MED challenge dose was applied 1 week after the initial 2 weeks of repetitive irradiation. To determine what different mechanisms and/or factors might be involved in physiological pigmentary responses of the skin to different types of UV, we used whole human genome microarrays and immunohistochemical analyses to characterize human skin in situ to examine how melanocyte-specific proteins and paracrine melanogenic factors are regulated by repetitive exposure to suberythemal doses of different types of UV (UVA and/or UVB). Seven volunteers with skin type II-III were irradiated with UVA, UVB or UVA+UVB radiation for 2 weeks (5 times per week, 10 times total) after preliminary determination of their MEDs. A UVA+UVB challenge dose of 1.5X the MED was applied 1 week later. Biopsies were taken before the challenge dose, immediately after the challenge dose, 4 days after the challenge, and 15 weeks after the challenge.

Hippo pathway component WWC1 is a key regulator of apoptosis and photosensitivity in lupus keratinocytes

Project description:Skin inflammation and photosensitivity are common manifestations of cutaneous and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), yet the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Non-lesional SLE skin exhibits increased UVB-driven cell death that persists in culture, supporting a potential role for epigenetic modifications to sustain this phenotype. We thus examined differential DNA methylation of non-lesional SLE vs. healthy control keratinocytes (KC) and identified Hippo signaling as the top significantly differentially methylated pathway, likely driven by hypomethylation of WWC1, a scaffold protein and Hippo pathway regulator. Analysis of non-lesional SLE skin biopsies and SLE keratinocytes in culture confirmed WWC1 overexpression that led to enhanced phosphorylation of YAP resulting in a pro-apoptotic transcriptional profile reflective of decreased YAP/TEAD transcriptional coactivation. Functional studies of UV-mediated apoptosis confirmed a regulatory role for YAP/TEAD interactions, and blockade of overactive Hippo signaling via a LATS1/2 inhibitor abrogated enhanced apoptosis in SLE KCs. Thus, our work identifies a novel mechanistic paradigm in SLE KCs in which aberrant UVB-apoptosis is driven by Hippo signaling via promotion of YAP phosphorylation and restriction of YAP coactivation of TEAD transcriptional activity. Hippo modulation may be a novel target for photosensitivity in SLE and CLE.

UV effects in mouse melanocytes

Project description:Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is a major melanoma risk factor, yet underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here we introduce a mouse model permitting fluorescence-aided melanocyte imaging and isolation following in vivo UV irradiation. We use expression profiling to show that activated neonatal skin melanocytes isolated following a melanomagenic UVB dose bear a distinct, persistent interferon-response signature, including genes associated with immunoevasion. UVB-induced melanocyte activation, characterized by aberrant growth and migration, was abolished by antibody-mediated systemic blockade of interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma), but not type-I interferons. IFN-gamma was produced by macrophages recruited to neonatal skin by UVB-induced chemokine receptor Ccr2 ligands. Admixed recruited skin macrophages enhanced transplanted melanoma growth by inhibiting apoptosis; notably, IFN-gamma blockade abolished macrophage-associated melanoma growth and survival. IFN-gamma-producing macrophages were identified in 70% of human melanomas examined. Our data reveal an unanticipated role for IFN-gamma in promoting melanocytic cell survival/immunoevasion, and suggest IFN-gamma-R signaling represents a novel therapeutic melanoma target. Biologic replicates of UVA- and UVB-treated mouse melanocytes, as well as untreated mouse melanocytes and mouse keratinocytes, were used to define melanocyte expression signatures associated with UV treatment.
