Epigenomic profiling of hair follicle stem cells identifies PRDM16 as a regulator of sebaceous gland homeostasis [RNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: The epidermis consists of different compartments such as the hair follicle (HF), sebaceous gland (SG) and interfollicular epidermis (IFE), each containing distinct stem cell (SC) populations. However, with the exception of the SCs residing within the HF bulge, other epidermal SC populations remain poorly characterized at the molecular level. Here we used an epigenomic strategy that combines H3K27me3 ChIP-seq and RNA-seq profiling to identify major regulators of HFSC located outside the bulge. When applied to the bulk of HFSC isolated from mouse skin our approach identified both previously known and potentially novel non-bulge HFSC regulators. Among the latter, we found that PRDM16 was preferentially expressed within the Junctional Zone (JZ). To investigate PRDM16 function within the JZ SCs, we generated an epidermal-specific Prdm16 Knock-out mouse model (K14-Cre-Prdm16fl/fl). Notably, although these K14-Cre-Prdm16fl/fl mice did not show any major skin or hair abnormalities, the homeostasis of the SG was clearly compromised. Namely, PRDM16 deficient mice displayed enlarged SGs and excessive sebum production, thus resembling some of the features associated with certain human conditions (i.e. acne, sebaceous hyperplasia). Overall, our study provides a list of putative novel regulators of HFSC outside the bulge and identifies PRDM16 as a major regulator of SG homeostasis.

High Runx1 levels promote a reversible more differentiated cell-state in hair follicle stem cells during quiescence

Project description:Quiescent hair follicle (HF) bulge stem cells (SCs) differentiate to early progenitor (EP) hair germ (HG) cells, which divide to produce transit-amplifying (TA) matrix cells. EPs can revert to SCs upon injury, but whether this de-differentiation occurs in normal HF homeostasis (hair cycle), and the mechanisms regulating both differentiation and de-differentiation are unclear. Here we use lineage tracing, gain of function, transcriptional profiling, and functional assays to examine the role of observed endogenous Runx1 level changes in the hair cycle. We find that forced Runx1 expression implements hair degeneration (catagen) and simultaneously promotes changes in the quiescent bulge SC transcriptome towards a cell-state resembling the EP HG fate. This cell-state transition is functionally reversible. We propose that SC differentiation and de-differentiation are likely to occur during normal HF degeneration and niche restructuring in response to changes in endogenous Runx1 levels associated with SC location with respect to the niche. Freshly isolated skin cells were FACS sorted based on K15-GFP+/a6-integrin+/CD34- as hair germ and K15-GFP+/a6-integrin+/CD34+ bulge cells. Duplicate samlpes from mice at PD20 that showed telogen morphology throughout skin were used for RNA prepartion and Affymetrix analysis. Wild and transgenic samples after 1-day of doxycycline treatement were compared.

Expression data of P4 stage hair follicle early bulge and non-bulge ORS cells

Project description:Increasing evidence suggests that microRNAs may play important roles in regulating self-renewal and differentiation in mammalian stem cells (SCs). Here, we explore this issue in skin. We first characterize microRNA expression profiles of skin SCs versus their committed proliferative progenies and identify a microRNA subset associating with “stemness”. Of these, miR-125b is dramatically downregulated in early SC-progeny. We engineer an inducible mice system and show that when miR-125b is sustained in SC-progenies, tissue balance is reversibly skewed towards stemness at the expense of epidermal, oil-gland and HF differentiation. Using gain-and-loss of function in vitro, we further implicate miR-125b as a repressor of SC differentiation. In vivo, transcripts repressed upon miR-125b induction are enriched >700% for predicted miR-125b targets normally downregulated upon SC-lineage commitment. We verify some of these miR-125b targets, and show that Blimp1 and VDR in particular can account for many tissue imbalances we see when miR-125b is deregulated. We used microarrays to compare the global gene expression profile of early bulge stem cells and non bulge ORS cells. Hair follicle cells were isolated from P4 Backskin of K14-RFP/Sox9-EGFP double transgenic mice as following: interfollicular epidermis sheet was pealed from hair follicle & dermis after dispase treatment. The hair follicle & dermis were first digested by collagenase (Sigma). Intact hair follicles were separated from dermal cells by low speed spinning (20g). The hair follicles were then digested by Trypsin and filtered by 40 µm cell strainers. The isolated hair follicle cells were FACS sorted. Dead cells and large differentiated cells were excluded based on DAPI and side scattering. Early bulge cells were gated as GFPHi,RFPHi. Non-bulge ORS cells were gated as GFP-, RFPHi.

A stem cell-driven lymphoangiogenic switch (ChIP-seq)

Project description:Tissues rely on stem cells (SCs) for homeostasis and wound-repair. SCs reside in specialized microenvironments (niches) whose complexities and roles in orchestrating tissue growth are still unfolding. Here, we identify lymphatic capillaries as critical SC niche components. In skin, lymphatics form intimate networks around the SCs of each hair follicle (HF) during their non-regenerative phase, and remodel upon regeneration. Seeking understanding, we unravel a secretome switch within SCs that controls lymphatic behavior. Resting SCs express Angiopoietin-like 7 (Angptl7), promoting lymphatic drainage. Upon activation, SCs trigger an anti-lympho-angiogenic program, transiently sparking lymphatic dilation and dampened drainage. In mammals, this dynamic aria between SCs and lymphatics is essential for coordinating HFSC behavior and hair regeneration: Upon either depleting lymphatics, silencing Angptl7 or super-activating anti-lympho-angiogenesis, SCs precociously proliferate and HF regeneration becomes asynchronous. In unearthing lymphatic capillaries as a hitherto under-appreciated SC-niche element, we’ve learned how SCs coordinate their activity across a tissue.

Paracrine TGFß Signaling Counterbalances BMP-Mediated Repression in Hair Follicle Stem Cell Activation

Project description:Hair follicle (HF) regeneration begins when communication between quiescent epithelial stem cells (SCs) and underlying mesenchymal dermal papillae (DP) generates sufficient activating cues to overcome repressive BMP signals from surrounding niche cells. We uncovered a hitherto unrecognized DP transmitter, TGFβ2, which activates Smad2/3 transiently in HFSCs concomitant with entry into tissue regeneration. We used microarrays to detect the genes specifically affected by TGFß receptor II-deficient mice upon HFSC activation. Hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs) of hair gem (HG) and bulge, and total skin keratinocytes were FACS-purified from the mouse back skin at 2nd telogen-to-anagen transition stages.
