Project description:Olfactomedin-4 (OLFM4) is an olfactomedin-domain-containing glycoprotein which regulates cell adhesion, proliferation, gastrointestinal inflammation, innate immunity and cancer metastasis. In the present study investigated its role in skin regeneration and wound healing. We found that OLFM4 expression is transiently upregulated in the proliferative phase of cutaneous wound healing in humans as well as in mice. Moreover, a significant increase in OLFM4 expression was detected in the skin of lesional psoriasis, a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by keratinocyte hyperproliferation. In vitro experiments demonstrated that OLFM4 can selectively stimulate keratinocyte proliferation and increase both keratinocyte and fibroblast migration ability. Using proteotransciptomic pathway analysis we revealed that transcription factors POU5F1/OCT4 and ESR1 acted as hubs for OLFM4-dependent signalling in keratinocytes. In vivo experiments utilizing mouse splinted full-thickness cutaneous wound healing model showed that application of recombinant OLFM4 protein can significantly improve wound healing time. Taken together, our results suggest that OLFM4 is a transiently upregulated inflammatory signal that promotes wound healing by supporting the functions of both dermal and epidermal cell compartments.

Project description:The vitamin D receptor (VDR) regulates cell proliferation and differentiation including epidermal keratinocytes by modulating transcription of its target genes. We are investigating the role of VDR in epidermal stem cells and their progenies in the regeneration process of epidermis and hair in the skin. VDR null mice are utilized in which VDR is specifically deleted in keratin 14 (K14) expressing keratinocytes by Cre-lox strategy. The impact of VDR deletion was evaluated by comparison of VDR null mice with no cre littermate control mice. The VDR was abundantly expressed in potential epidermal stem cells including basal cells in interfollicular epidermis (IFE), and in CD34 expressing bulge keratinocytes in hair follicles. Gene expression profiles and subsequent pathway analysis of stem cell enriched keratinocyte populations revealed that the VDR deletion significantly suppressed β-catenin signaling as well as VDR signaling. The role of VDR in epidermal stem cells was studied during hair follicle cycling and wound healing processes. The epidermal stem cells were not appropriately stimulated by hair depilation, and did not reinitiate anagen in the hair follicles resulting in a failure of hair regrowth. In addition, the stem cells were not fully activated after full thickness wounds were generated in VDR null skin under a low calcium diet to suppress compensation pathways. Cell proliferation was not fully induced in potential stem cells located in both IFE and hair follicles near the wounding edges, and re-epithelialization rate was delayed in VDR null skin. Gene expression profiling of the wounded skin (3 days after injury) indicated that β-catenin signaling was not fully induced in VDR null skin comparable to that observed in β-catenin null mice. The β-catenin target genes including Axin2 and cell cycle regulators involved in epidermal stem cell function were not induced in the edges of the wound of VDR null skin. These results demonstrated that VDR plays an essential role in hair cycling and wound healing processes through regulation of β-catenin signaling in epidermal stem cells and their progenies. n=3 CON and KO (each sample contain RNA extracted from keratinocytes, which is isolated from VDR KO and littermate control skins excised from 3 mice)

Project description:The transcription factor NRF2 plays an important role in many biological processes and is a promising therapeutic target. NRF2 is highly expressed in the skin and is known to play a critical role in diabetic wound healing, a disease state with limited treatment options. However, many existing NRF2 activators display off-target effects due to their electrophilic mechanism, underscoring the need for alternative approaches. In this work, we investigated two recently described, non-electrophilic NRF2 activators, ADJ-310 and PRL-295, and demonstrated their efficacy in vitro and in vivo. Both ADJ-310 and PRL-295 maintained human keratinocyte cell viability at increasing concentrations and maintained or improved cell proliferation over time. Both compounds also increased cell migration, improving in vitro wound closure. ADJ-310 and PRL-295 enhanced the oxidative stress response in vitro, and RNA-sequencing data showed that PRL-295 activated NRF2 with a narrower transcriptomic effect than the widely used electrophilic NRF2 activator, CDDO-Me. In vivo, both ADJ-310 and PRL-295 improved wound healing in Leprdb/db diabetic mice. The non-electrophilic compounds ADJ-310 and PRL-295 are effective, innovative tools for the investigation of the function of NRF2 that directly address the need for alternative NRF2 activators. They offer a new approach to studying the role of NRF2 in human diseases and its potential as a therapeutic. Both non-electrophilic NRF2 activators promoted wound healing functions in human keratinocytes and improved wound healing in diabetic mice, demonstrating their efficacy both in vitro and in vivo. RNA sequencing showed that PRL-295 upregulated downstream target genes that favorably compared with those of CDDO-Me.

Project description:Transcriptional coactivator Mediator complex facilitates transcription of various transcription factors. Previously, we have generated Med1 conditional null mice, where a critical subunit of Mediator, Med1, is removed from keratinocytes. Here we present evidence that ablation of Med1 accelerated epidermal regeneration after injury. As bulge keratinocyte stem cells are important contributors to regenerate epidermis, we first analyzed properties of stem cells in Med1 null mice. BrdU long retaining analysis revealed that deletion of Med1 still maintained quiescence of bulge keratinocyte stem cells, despite of general hyperplasia observed in Med1 deficient keratinocytes. Gene expression analysis demonstrated that a series of niche matrix proteins decreased in Med1 deficient keratinocytes. In contrast, the expression of stem cell marker Sox9 was not altered, suggesting stem cells are present but activated because of abnormal niche surrounding stem cells. In addition, Med1 deletion suppressed injury induced inflammatory reaction, which indirectly regulates epidermal regeneration. We also indicated that TGFβ1 significantly decreased in both bulge and epidermal keratinocytes upon Med1 deletion. Our study demonstrates that coactivator Med1 has a critical role to maintain bulge stem cells and epidermal regeneration presumably through regulation in TGFβ signaling. n=4 WT and KO (each sample contain RNA from one mouse)

Project description:Non-healing wounds are a major area of unmet clinical need that remain problematic to treat; therefore, improved understanding of pro-healing mechanisms is invaluable. The enzyme arginase1 is involved in pro-healing responses with its role in macrophages best-characterised. Arginase1 is also expressed by keratinocytes; however, the function of arginase1 in these critical wound repair cells is not understood. We characterised arginase1 expression in keratinocytes during normal cutaneous repair and reveal de novo temporal and spatial expression at the epidermal wound edge. Interestingly, epidermal arginase1 expression was decreased in both human and murine delayed healing wounds. We, therefore, generated a keratinocyte specific arginase1-null mouse model (K14-cre;Arg1fl/fl) to explore arginase function. Wound repair, linked to changes in keratinocyte proliferation, migration and differentiation, was significantly delayed in K14-cre;Arg1fl/flmice. Gene expression was studied by microarray.

Project description:Hsa_circ_0084443 expression level is down-regulated during normal skin wound healing and higher level of hsa_circ_0084443 was found in chronic non-healing diabetic foot ulcers compared to normal wounds. However, the biological function of hsa_circ_0084443 in epidermal keratinocytes during wound repair has not been studied. To study the genes regulated by hsa_circ_0084443, we transfected siRNA targeting hsa_circ_0084443 diagnostic junction into human primary epidermal keratinocytes to knockdown hsa_circ_0084443 expression. We performed a global transcriptome analysis of keratinocytes upon knockdown of hsa_circ_0084443 using Affymetrix arrays.
