Protective role of HMGB1 in keratinocytes in skin inflammation

ABSTRACT: Dysregulation and abnormal expression of inflammatory mediators by keratinocytes promote the pathogenesis of the skin inflammation such as allergic contact dermatitis (ACD). High-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) protein, a prototypical damage-associated molecular pattern (DAMP), that is expressed in the nucleus but released extracellularly upon inflammation has gained attention as an accelerator for skin inflammation. However, in vivo role of HMGB1 in ACD and other skin disorders remains to be elusive. In this study, we generated conditional knockout mice in which HMGB1 is deleted in keratinocytes and examined its role in skin inflammation models including 2,4-dinitrofluorobenezene (DNFB)-induced ACD. Unexpectedly, deletion of HMGB1 in keratinocytes exacerbated skin inflammation, accompanied by increased ear thickening. Elevated mRNA expression of interleukin-24 (IL-24), a known cytokine which promotes the pathogenesis of ACD, was also observed in the skin lesion of the mice. In accordance with above observations, both constitutive and IL-4-induced Il24 mRNA expression in vitro was augmented in hmgb1-deficient primary mouse keratinocytes and keratinocyte cell line PAM212 cells. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) analysis revealed increased binding of tri-methyl histone H3 (lys4) (H3K4me3), a well-known histone mark for transcription active genes, to the promoter region of the Il24 gene in the hmgb1-deficient cells. ChIP-sequencing data also showed broad changes of H3K4me3 mark in the cells. Thus, HMGB1 in the nucleus dictates histone modifications. In conclusion, our study demonstrated a key role for HMGB1 in keratinocytes in the maintenance of chromatin modification status to protect from exuberant skin inflammation.

Distinct immune responses and pruritic mechanisms in oxazolone- and urushiol- induced ACD (Allergic contact dermatitis) models.

Project description:The mechanisms underlying pruritus and skin inflammation of poison ivy ACD remain poorly understood,due to limited clinical data and animal studies. Most of the mechanistic understanding of ACD is based upon animal models using experimental allergens not present in the environment, such as oxazolone,DNFB or SADBE . Recently, it has become evident that different allergens elicit widely divergent immune responses in both human and animals, suggesting these models may not be representative of environmental forms of ACD . Given the high incidence and public health impact of poison ivy-induced ACD, it is necessary to establish and characterize a clinically relevant animal model using the actual allergen urushiol. In this study we applied transcriptome microarray to evaluate the cutaneous immune response in urushiol ACD model.

Epithelial HMGB1 delays skin wound healing and drives tumor initiation by priming neutrophils for NET formation

Project description:Regenerative responses predispose tissues to tumor formation by largely unknown mechanisms. High-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) is a danger-associated molecular pattern contributing to inflammatory pathologies. Here, we show that HMGB1 derived from keratinocytes, but not myeloid cells, delays cutaneous wound healing and drives skin tumor formation. In wounds of mice lacking HMGB1 selectively in keratinocytes, a marked reduction in neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation is observed. Pharmacological targeting of HMGB1 or NETs prevents skin tumorigenesis and accelerates wound regeneration. HMGB1-dependent NET formation and skin tumorigenesis is orchestrated by the cytokine TNF and requires RIPK1 kinase activity. NETs are present in the microenvironment of keratinocyte-derived tumors in mice and lesional and tumor skin of patients suffering from Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa (RDEB), a disease in which skin blistering predisposes to tumorigenesis. We conclude that tumorigenicity of the wound microenvironment depends on epithelial-derived HMGB1 regulating NET formation, thereby establishing a mechanism linking reparative inflammation to tumor initiation.

Genome-wide expression study of the CD11b+ subsets of dermal myeloid cells and their migratory counterparts in the draining lymph node

Project description:Numerous CD11b+ myeloid cells are present within the dermis. They are very heterogeneous and can be divided in dermal DCs, tissue monocytes and tissue macrophages. At steady state, only CD11b+ DC migrate from the dermis to the skin draining lymph nodes whereas upon DNFB-induced inflammation, CD11b+ DC as well as dermal monocytes migrated to the lymph nodes. The objective of this study was to use gene expression profiling to rigorously identify the different subsets of dermal CD11b+ myeloid cells at steady state and upon inflammation and to characterize their functional potential. This study includes data from DC, monocytes and macrophages purified by flow cytometry sorting from the blood (monocytes only), dermis and the cutaneous lymph nodes (migDC and mig mono) of WT C57BL6 mice, under steady-state or upon DNFB-mediated inflammation. Three independent replicates were made for each cell type, from three independent pools of mice, and were hybridized on 3 separate batches of gene chips Affimetrix 1.0ST.

Transcription profiling of mouse Cannabinoid receptor double knockouts (Cnr1 -/- /Cnr2 -/-) in CHS model to investigate cutaneous contact hypersensitivity

Project description:We evaluated cutaneous contact hypersensitivity (CHS) in Cnr1-/-/Cnr2-/- animals using the obligate contact allergen 2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene (DNFB), which generates a specific cutaneous T-cell mediated allergic response upon repeated allergen contact. Allergic contact dermatitis affects about 5% of men and 11% of women in industrialized countries and is one of the leading causes for occupational diseases. In an animal model for cutaneous contact hypersensitivity we show that mice lacking both known cannabinoid receptors display exacerbated allergic inflammation. In contrast, fatty acid amide hydrolase deficient mice, which have increased levels of the endocannabinoid anandamide, displayed reduced allergic responses in the skin. Cannabinoid receptor antagonists exacerbated whereas receptor agonists attenuated allergic inflammation. These results demonstrate a protective role of the endocannabinoid system in contact allergy in the skin, and suggest a novel target for therapeutic intervention. Experiment Overall Design: Three wildtype mice (Wt) and three Cnr1-/-/Cnr2-/- (Ko) mice were used. Contact hypersensitivity was determined always at the right ears, which therefore were treated with DNFB (Tr). Left ears of mice were kept untreated and served as control ears (C). A total of 12 hybridizations were performed (2 strains x 2 treatments X 3 biological replicates) in this experiment.

Induction of alternative proinflammatory cytokines accounts for sustained psoriasiform skin inflammation in IL-17C+IL-6KO mice [RNA-Seq]

Project description:IL-6 inhibition has been unsuccessful in treating psoriasis, despite high levels of tissue and serum IL-6 in patients. Additionally, de novo psoriasis onset has been reported following IL-6 blockade in rheumatoid arthritis patients. To explore mechanisms underlying these clinical observations, we backcrossed an established psoriasiform mouse model (IL-17C+ mice) with IL-6 deficient mice (IL-17C+KO) and examined the cutaneous phenotype. IL-17C+KO mice initially exhibited decreased skin inflammation, however this decrease was transient and reversed rapidly, concomitant with increases in skin Tnf, Il36α/β/γ, Il24, epigen and S100a8/a9 to levels higher than those found in IL-17C+ mice. Comparison of IL-17C+ and IL-17C+KO mouse skin transcriptomes with that of human psoriasis skin, revealed significant correlation among transcripts of psoriasis patient skin and IL-17C+KO mouse skin, and confirmed an exacerbation of the inflammatory signature in IL-17C+KO mice that aligns closely with human psoriasis. Transcriptional analyses of IL-17C+ and IL-17C+KO primary keratinocytes confirmed increased expression of proinflammatory molecules, suggesting that in the absence of IL-6, keratinocytes increase production of numerous additional proinflammatory cytokines. These preclinical findings may provide insight into why arthritis patients being treated with IL-6 inhibitors develop new onset psoriasis and why IL-6 blockade for the treatment of psoriasis has not been clinically effective.

The ULK3 kinase is a key determinant of keratinocyte self-renewal and tumorigenesis targeting the arginine methylome

Project description:Epigenetic mechanisms oversee epidermal homeostasis and oncogenesis. The identification of kinases controlling these processes has direct therapeutic implications. We show that ULK3 is a nuclear kinase with elevated expression levels in squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) arising in multiple body sites, including skin and Head/Neck. ULK3 loss by gene silencing or deletion reduces proliferation and clonogenicity of human keratinocytes and SCC-derived cells and affects transcription impinging on stem cell-related and metabolism programs. Mechanistically, ULK3 directly binds and regulates the activity of two histone arginine methyltransferases, PRMT1 and PRMT5 (PRMT1/5), with ULK3 loss compromising PRMT1/5 chromatin association to specific genes and overall methylation of histone H4, a shared target of these enzymes. These findings are of translational significance, as downmodulating ULK3 by RNA interference or locked antisense nucleic acids (LNAs) blunts the proliferation and tumorigenic potential of SCC cells and promotes differentiation in two orthotopic models of skin cancer.

Expression analyses of inducible c-Fos expressing kerationcytes

Project description:Expression analyses comparing c-Fos expressing keratinocytes vs non-expressing controls. Skin squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) are the second most prevalent skin cancers. Chronic skin inflammation has been associated with the development of SCCs, but the contribution of skin inflammation to SCC development remains largely unknown. In this study we demonstrate that inducible expression of c-fos in the epidermis of adult mice is sufficient to promote inflammation-mediated epidermal hyperplasia leading to the development of pre-neoplastic lesions. Interestingly, c-Fos transcriptionally controls mmp10 and s100a7a15 expression in keratinocytes subsequently leading to CD4 T cell recruitment to the skin, thereby promoting epidermal hyperplasia. Combining inducible c-fos expression in the epidermis with a single dose of the carcinogen 7,12-Dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA) leads to the development of highly invasive SCCs, which are prevented by using the anti-inflammatory drug Sulindac. Moreover, human SCCs display a correlation between c-FOS expression and elevated levels of MMP10 and S100A15 proteins as well as CD4 T cell infiltration. Our studies demonstrate a bidirectional crosstalk between pre-malignant keratinocytes and infiltrating CD4 T cells in SCC development. Therefore, targeting inflammation along with the newly identified targets, such as MMP10 and S100A15, represent promising therapeutic strategies to treat SCCs. 5 different time points measured in triplicate comparing Dox-treated vs untreated c-FostetON keratinocytes
