H3K27Ac modification and gene expression in psoriasis

ABSTRACT: Applying ChIP-seq with anti-acetylation of lysine 27 on Histone 3 (H3K27Ac), we report high-throughput profiling of H3K27Ac in human skin biopsies taken from psoriasis patients, both from the lesion and from adjacent non-lesion skin, and from skin biopsies from healthy match volunteers, in term of age, gender, and the biopsies place in the body. From each group we had 4 samples. On three samples of each group we performed mRNA array. There is a clearly different H3K27 acetylation patterns in psoriatic skin compared to uninvolved or healthy volunteer skin. in many of the most over express genes in psoriasis lesion, there is enrichment of H3K27Ac. However, loss of acetylation on H3K27 is not part of the biochemical mechanism by which gene expression is decreased in psoriatic skin. Finally, we show Many of the over express genes in psoriasis lesion, that also were enriched with H3K27Ac harbor a putative GRHL transcription factor binding site.

Project description:Objectives: To understand the crosstalk between the immune system and keratinization in psoriatic skin, using a systems biology approach based on transcriptomics, proteomics and microbiome profiling. Methods: We collected the skin tissue biopsies and swabs in both lesion and non-lesion skin of 13 patients with psoriasis (PsO), 15 patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA), and healthy skin from 12 patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS). We performed transcriptome sequencing and metagenomics profiling on the local skin sites to study the similarities and differences in the molecular profiles between the three conditions. To assess the systemic nature of the disease, we performed a high-throughput proteome profiling to study the profiles of proteins circulating in the serum of the same donors. Results: We found that lesion and non-lesional samples were remarkably different in terms of their transcriptome profiles. Functional annotation of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) showed a major enrichment in neutrophil activation. By using co-expression gene networks, we identified a gene module that was associated with local psoriasis severity at the site of biopsy. From this module, we extracted a “core” set of genes that were functionally involved in neutrophil activation, epidermal cell differentiation and response to bacteria. Skin microbiome analysis revealed that the abundance of Enhydrobacter, Micrococcus and Leptotrichia were significantly correlated with the “core network” of genes. We further identified 39 circulating proteins from the serum that were significantly correlated with the corresponding local skin gene expression, highlighting systemic aberrations due to skin disease. Integration of “core” genes identified from skin with circulating protein profiles revealed PI3 as a key biomarker for psoriasis. Conclusions: We identified a core network that regulates inflammation and hyper-keratinization in psoriatic skin, and is associated with local disease severity and microbiome composition. Multi-omics analysis identified PI3 as a psoriasis-specific biomarker for disease severity and potential target for treatment strategies.
