Persistent JunB Activation in Fibroblasts Disrupts Stem Cell Niche Interactions Enforcing Skin Aging [RNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: Fibroblasts residing in the connective tissue of all organs constitute the stem cell niche particularly in connective tissue rich organs like skin. Though the impact of the connective tissue resident fibroblasts on stem cell niches and organ aging is an emerging concept, the underlying mechanisms are largely unresolved. Here, we report a novel mechanism of redox-dependent activation of the transcription factor JunB, which through concomitant upregulation of cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor p16INK4A and repression of IGF-1 dependent cell growth and protein translation initiates the installment of irreversible fibroblast senescence. Fibroblast senescence in turn profoundly disrupts the metabolic and structural niche and its essential interactions with different stem cells thus enforcing depletion of stem cells pools and skin tissue decline. In fact, silencing of JunB in a fibroblast niche-specific knock out mouse - by the reinstatement of IGF-1 and p16 levels - fully restored skin stem cell pools and overall tissue integrity of the skin. We here uncovered a previously unreported role of JunB in the control of the endogenous connective tissue niche and identified promising targets to combat skin aging and associated pathologies.

Spatial and single-cell transcriptional profiling identifies functionally distinct human dermal fibroblast subpopulations

Project description:Fibroblasts synthesize the extracellular matrix of connective tissue and play an essential role in maintaining tissue integrity. We have previously shown that mouse skin connective tissue, the dermis, is comprised of functionally distinct fibroblast lineages. However, the extent of fibroblast heterogeneity in human skin is unknown. Here, using a combination of spatial transcriptional profiling of human and mouse dermis and single cell transcriptional profiling of human dermal fibroblasts, we show that there are at least four distinct fibroblast populations in adult human skin. We define markers permitting prospective isolation of these cells and show that although marker expression is rapidly lost in culture, different fibroblast subpopulations retain distinct functionality in terms of Wnt signalling, T cell communication and the ability to support human epidermal reconstitution in organotypic culture. Furthermore, while some fibroblast subpopulations are spatially segregated, others are not. These findings have profound implications for normal wound healing and diseases characterized by excessive fibrosis, and suggest that ex vivo expansion or in vivo ablation of specific fibroblast subpopulations may have therapeutic applications.

Application of an iPSC-derived Organoid Model for Located Scleroderma Therapy

Project description:Scleroderma is a chronic connective tissue disease characterized by skin thickening and plaque morphea, as well as hard, shiny skin. Serious involvement is observed from the superficial dermis down to the fascia and muscle. However, this condition is difficult to treat and evaluate. In this study, induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived 3D epithelial and mesenchymal organoids were used for localized scleroderma therapy.

Expression profiling of skin fibroblast and iPSC from Werner Syndrome

Project description:The premature aging disorder Werner Syndrome (WS) is characterized by early onset of aging phenotypes resembling natural aging. In most WS patients there are mutations in the DNA helicase WRN, an enzyme important in maintaining genome stability and telomere replication. Interestingly, its clinical manifestations reflect a severe degree of deterioration for connective tissue, whereas the central nervous system is less affected. We suggest that the varied vulnerability to aging is regulated by an unknown mechanism that protects specific lineages of stem cells from premature senescence. To address this problem, we reprogrammed patient skin fibroblasts to induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC). The expression profile for the differentiated normal and WS fibroblasts and undifferentiated iPSC were compared. A distinct expression profile was found between normal and WS fibroblasts, however, few changes of gene expression were found in iPSC. Our findings suggest an erasure of aging phenotype associated with WS in reprogrammed iPSC. Human normal and WS skin fibroblasts were reprogrammed to induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC). These samples, before and after reprogramming, were analyzed for the change of gene expression profile.

mouse stem cell SWATH-MS

Project description:Adult stem cells (SCs) are essential for tissue maintenance and regeneration yet are susceptible to SC senescence during aging. Here we demonstrate the importance of cellular NAD+ level and its impact on mitochondrial activity as a pivotal switch to modulate muscle stem cell (MuSC) senescence. Importantly, the induction of the mitochondrial unfolded protein response (UPRmt) and of prohibitin proteins, subsequent to increasing cellular NAD+ with the precursor nicotinamide riboside (NR), rejuvenates MuSCs in aged mice. NR also prevents MuSCs senescence in Mdx mice, a mouse model of muscular dystrophy. Extending these observations to other SC pools and on the organism as a whole, we demonstrate that NR delays neural stem cell (NSC) and melanocyte stem cell (McSC) senescence, while also increasing mouse lifespan. Strategies that conserve cellular NAD+ could therefore be utilized to reprogram dysfunctional SCs in aging and disease to improve lifespan in mammals

Swarms of specialized fibroblasts drive scarring through N-cadherin

Project description:Injury in mammals induces a connective tissue response to either regenerate as before, or to scar. The fibroblastic actions and mechanisms that underlie these connective tissue responses remain obscure, as direct observation in animals is too difficult and current assays do not faithfully reproduce physiology. Here, we developed a skin explant technique termed scar-in-a-dish (SCAD) that faithfully recapitulates uniform scars with contraction and reveals how scarring occurs in unprecedented detail. By growing mouse SCADs, with a traceable scar-progenitor fibroblast lineage, we observed previously unseen intercellular connections form between scar-progenitors that then collectively swarm into the nascent wound in highly regular periodic movements that progressively contract the skin and form scars. Swarming is exclusive to scar progenitors and absent from oral cavity fibroblasts that regenerate scarless. By testing a panel of adhesion molecules that might instigate intercellular connections, we found swarming was induced by the upregulation of N-cadherin in scar progenitors. Impeding N-cadherin binding inhibited swarming and contraction, and led to reduced scarring in SCAD and in mice. Blocking N-cadherin and scar-progenitor swarming thus provides a novel therapeutic space to curtail pathological fibrotic responses across a range of medical settings.

Differentiation of human limbal-derived induced pluripotent stem cells into limbal-like epithelium

Project description:Limbal epithelial stem cell (LESC) deficiency represents a significant clinical problem especially in bilateral cases. Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) may be a promising source of LESC, allowing standardized and continual propagation and banking. The objective of this study was to generate iPSC from human limbal epithelial cultures and differentiate them back into limbal epithelial cells using substrata mimicking the natural LESC niche. Using Yamanaka’s episomal vectors limbal-derived iPSC were reprogrammed from LESC cultured from donor corneoscleral rims and from human skin fibroblasts. A clone from limbal-derived iPSC expressed stemness markers, had a diploid karyotype, and produced teratomas in nude mice representing three germ layers. Compared to parental LESC, this clone had fewer specific gene methylation changes revealed using the Illumina Infinium Methylation 450k Beadchips than compared to skin fibroblasts. The expression of putative LESC markers was examined by quantitative RT-PCR and immunostaining in limbal-derived and fibroblast-derived iPSC cultured on denuded human amniotic membrane or denuded cornea. Limbal-derived iPSC had markedly stronger expression of PAX6, ABCG2, Np63, keratins 14, 15, 17, and N-cadherin than fibroblast-derived iPSC. On denuded corneas, limbal-derived iPSC showed the expression of differentiated corneal keratins 3 and 12. The data suggest that iPSC differentiation to a desired lineage may be facilitated by their generation from the same tissue. This may be related to preservation of parental tissue epigenetic methylation signatures in iPSC and use of biological substrata similar to the natural niche of parental cells. The data pave the way for generating transplantable LESC from limbal-derived iPSC. Bisulphite converted DNA from the 12 samples were hybridised to the Illumina Infinium 450k Human Methylation Beadchip
