Dermal sheath contraction powers stem cell niche relocation during hair cycle regression

ABSTRACT: Tissue homeostasis requires the balance of growth by cell production and regression through cellular loss. In the hair cycle during follicle regression, the niche traverses the skin through an unknown mechanism to reach the stem cells and prime regeneration. Here, by cell specific ablation and intravital imaging in live mice, we identify the follicle-lining dermal sheath as the key driver of tissue regression and niche relocation via smooth muscle contractile machinery that generates centripetal constriction force. We reveal the calcium/calmodulin/myosin light chain kinase pathway as the mechanism of sheath contraction that when blocked inhibits follicle contraction and impedes regression and niche relocation. Thus, our study identifies the dermal sheath as a smooth muscle that drives regression for reuniting niche and stem cells to regenerate tissue structure during homeostasis.

Progenitor-derived endothelin controls dermal sheath contraction for hair follicle regression

Project description:Progenitor cell death and dermal papilla relocation during the regression phase of the hair growth cycle are essential for stem cell activation and follicle regeneration. This drastic follicle remodeling is coordinated by dermal sheath (DS) smooth muscle contraction, but how DS-generated forces are regulated is unknown. Here, we identify endothelin signaling - a potent vasoconstriction-regulating pathway - as the key activating mechanism of DS contraction. Pharmacological blocking or genetic ablation of both endothelin receptors, ETA and ETB, impedes DS contraction and halts follicle regression. Progenitors at the epithelial strand bottleneck are the main source of endothelin ligand ET-1, which is required for follicle regression. ET signaling in DS cells and downstream contraction is dynamically regulated by cytoplasmic Ca2+ levels via cell membrane and sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium channels. Together, these findings illuminate an epithelial-mesenchymal-interaction paradigm in which progenitors - before undergoing programmed cell death - control the contraction of the surrounding sheath smooth muscle to orchestrate homeostatic tissue regression and follicle reorganization.

Gene expression profiling of the intact dermal sheath cup of human hair follicle

Project description:The dermal sheath cup is the peribulbar component of the hair follicle dermal sheath, and has hair inductive potential similar to the dermal papilla. To characterize it in comparison with other mesenchymal follicle tissuesparts, we performed gene expression profiling of intact dermal sheath cups, which were separated from hair follicles by microdissection. Gene expression profiles of the dermal sheath cup, dermal papilla and upper dermal sheath were compared. We identified a dermal sheath cup signature composed of 32 upregulated genes, which included extracellular matrix components and BMP binding mollecules, while dermal papilla signature included a number of dermal papilla signature genes which had already reported. Analyses of upstream regulators showed that TGF- b1 is a putative regulator of these genes. These results suggest some of molecular mechanism that contributes to human dermal sheath cup properties, which could be useful for hair follicle bioengineering.

SKPs derive from hair follicle precursors and exhibit properties of adult dermal stem cells

Project description:Global expression analysis of neural crest-like skin-derived precursors (SKPs) and Sox2-positive follicle dermal cells that SKPs originate from. In spite of the remarkable regenerative capacity of mammalian skin, an adult dermal stem cell has not yet been identified. Here, we provide evidence that SKPs, multipotent neural crest-like skin-derived precursors, represent an adult dermal stem cell. When transplanted into adult skin, SKPs can reconstitute the adult dermis, contribute to dermal wound-healing, home to a hair follicle niche, and instruct epidermal cells to make hair follicles. Hair follicle-derived SKPs self-renew, maintain their multipotency, and serially reconstitute hair follicles. The endogenous origin of SKPs are Sox2-positive follicle dermal cells that share a similar global gene expression profile with SKPs. These endogenous cells home back to their follicle niche, induce hair follicle morphogenesis, and differentiate into neural and dermal progeny. Hair follicle-associated dermal cells will move out of their niche to contribute to dermal maintenance and wound-healing. These studies therefore identify a dermal stem cell, and provide a biological rationale for the presence of a multipotent precursor within adult dermis, findings with important therapeutic implications.

Hdac1 and Hdac2 regulate the quiescent state and survival of hair-follicle mesenchymal niche

Project description:While cell division is essential for self-renewal and differentiation of stem cells and progenitors, dormancy is required to maintain the structure and function of the stem-cell niche. Here we use the hair follicle to show that during growth, the mesenchymal niche of the hair follicle, the dermal papilla (DP), is maintained quiescent by the activity of Hdac1 and Hdac2 in the DP that suppresses the expression of cell-cycle genes. Furthermore, Hdac1 and Hdac2 in the DP promote the survival of DP cells throughout the hair cycle. While during growth and regression this includes downregulation of p53 activity and the control of p53-independent programs, during quiescence, this predominantly involves p53-independent mechanisms. Remarkably, Hdac1 and Hdac2 in the DP during the growth phase also participate in orchestrating the hair cycle clock by maintaining physiological levels of Wnt signaling in the vicinity of the DP. Our findings not only provide insight into the molecular mechanism that sustains the function of the stem-cell niche in a persistently changing microenvironment, but also unveil that the same mechanism provides a molecular toolbox allowing the DP to affect and fine tune the microenvironment.
