Differentially regulated miRNAs in skin fibroblasts with constitutively active Nrf2

ABSTRACT: The NRF2 transcription factor is a key regulator of the cellular antioxidant response, and pharmacological NRF2 activation is a promising strategy for the prevention of age-related diseases. Here we show, however, that genetic activation of Nrf2 in skin fibroblasts leads to the production of a matrisome, which is similar to aged skin and characterized by reduced synthesis and deposition of selected matrix proteins, including the major skin collagens. Mechanistically, the production of an aging matrisome results from Nrf2-mediated overexpression of microRNAs (miRs), which directly suppress collagen expression independently of myofibroblast differentiation. This is functionally important, as Nrf2 activation in fibroblasts caused structural abnormalities of the dermal ECM and increased the susceptibility to skin tearing, similar to aged skin. Activation of endogenous NRF2 was observed in human skin from elderly individuals in vitro and in vivo. These data implicate a key role for activated NRF2 in controlling age-related molecular and biomechanical skin alterations.

Gene expression changes in fibroblasts with constitutively active Nrf2 reflect a senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP)

Project description:Nrf2 is a key regulator of the cellular antioxidant defense system, and pharmacological Nrf2 activation is a promising strategy for cancer prevention. Here we discovered a novel role of Nrf2 as a regulator of the matrisome. Activation of Nrf2 in fibroblasts induced early onset of cellular senescence. Mechanistically, this resulted from Nrf2-mediated transcription of matrix and matrix-remodeling genes. Fibroblasts with activated Nrf2 deposited a senescence-promoting matrix, with plasminogen-activator inhibitor being the key inducer of the senescence program. In vivo, this promoted keratinocyte proliferation and re-epithelialization during wound healing, but also skin tumorigenesis. Analysis of the gene expression profile of fibroblasts with activated Nrf2 and published data sets revealed that Nrf2 activates genes characteristic for cancer-associated fibroblasts. These data identify Nrf2 as a key player in the control of the cancer-associated fibroblast phenotype and highlight the need for careful use of Nrf2-activating pharmaceuticals.

RNA-seq analysis of NRF2 silenced human skin fibroblasts

Project description:This RNA-seq analysis was the beginning of our study, to have a first global unbiased approach to analyze the effect of NRF2 silencing on the mRNA profile of human skin fibroblasts. We demonstrated that besides NRF2 conventional antioxidant and metabolic target genes, tissue skeleton and especially matrisome genes were affected by NRF2 silencing. We further confirmed that NRF2 silencing some collagen genes, impacting collagen fibrillogenesis.

Disrupted mitochondrial function in aged human dermal fibroblasts

Project description:Skin undergoes changes in structure and function with age, including a shift in metabolic programs. This is particularly evident relative to mitochondrial function in skin cells. Dermal fibroblasts have been known to accumulate damage caused by both external and internal stressors, leading to altered bioenergetics that limits efficient synthesis of ATP and NAD+. To better understand the changes in mitochondrial function with age, metabolic profiles and transcriptomic profiles of primary dermal fibroblasts from varying aged donors were analysed.

The aging microenvironment promotes melanoma cell invasion and therapy resistance

Project description:Cancer is a disease of aging, and incidence and mortality from all cancers increase logarithmically after the age of 45. Older patients have a much poorer prognosis for melanomas of equal stage, compared to younger individuals. The role of the tumor microenvironment in modulating cancer behavior is widely recognized. We hypothesized that age-related changes in the tumor microenvironment could affect the progression of melanoma. We demonstrate that the aging microenvironment increases the invasion of melanoma cells. Using skin fibroblasts isolated from healthy donors, we have built artificial skin and demonstrate that melanoma cells invade more rapidly when exposed to aged fibroblasts. In a mouse model of melanoma (YUMM1.7, BrafV600E/Cdkn2a-/-/Pten-/-), congeneic to C57/BL6 mice, melanomas invade faster in aged mice. Gene expression analyses suggest that melanoma cells are undergoing DNA damage when exposed to an aged microenvironment, and we confirm this in cellular assays. Proteomics analysis of aging fibroblasts suggest that fibroblasts secrete molecules (laminin b2, Wnt inhibitors) associated with increased resistance to targeted therapy. Indeed, melanoma cells injected into aged mice respond less well to PLX4720 than those injected into young mice. This suggests that exciting new drugs targeting the BRAF pathway may be less effective in aging patients.

Inadequate mito-biogenesis in primary dermal fibroblasts from old humans is associated with impairment of PGC1A-independent stimulation.

Project description:Extrinsic skin ageing converges on the dermis, a post-mitotic tissue compartment consisting of extracellular matrix and long-lived fibroblasts prone to damage accumulation and maladaptation. Aged human fibroblasts exhibit mitochondrial and nuclear dysfunctions, which may be a cause or consequence of ageing. We report on a systematic study of human dermal fibroblasts retrieved from female donors aged 20-67years and analysed ex vivo at low population doubling precluding replicative senescence. According to gene set enrichment analysis of genome wide array data, the most prominent age-associated change of the transcriptome was decreased expression of mitochondrial genes. Consistent with that, mitochondrial content and cell proliferation declined with donor age. This was associated with upregulation of AMP-dependent protein kinase (AMPK), increased mRNA levels of PPARγ-coactivator 1α (PGC1A) and decreased levels of NAD(+)-dependent deacetylase sirtuin 1. In the old cells the PGC1A-mediated mito-biogenetic response to direct AMPK-stimulation by AICAR was undiminished, while the PGC1A-independent mito-biogenetic response to starvation was attenuated and accompanied by increased ROS-production. In summary, these observations suggest an age-associated decline in PGC1A-independent mito-biogenesis, which is insufficiently compensated by upregulation of the AMPK/PGC1A-axis leading under baseline conditions to decreased mitochondrial content and reductive overload of residual respiratory capacity.

Human dermal fibroblast subpopulations display distinct gene signatures related to cell behaviours and matrisome.

Project description:The upper papillary and deeper reticular dermis differ structurally and functionally. Although the papillary and reticular fibroblasts produced distinct extracellular matrix (ECM), the matrisome of these two fibroblast subpopulations has not been defined. Therefore we performed a transcriptomic analysis of papillary and reticular fibroblasts freshly isolated from skin of young donors around 20, at a time they produced high level of ECM. Bioinformatics analysis delivered 230 upregulated and 139 downregulated transcripts in papillary vs reticular fibroblasts. Expression of various selected genes was validated by q-PCR. The papillary fibroblasts were characterized by a higher expression of genes involved in the defense function, in the regulation of cell motility and proliferation and in the MAPK cascade whereas reticular fibroblasts showed higher expression of genes related to the development of connective tissues. Papillary fibroblasts were characterized by the expression of a high number of matrisome-associated genes whereas reticular fibroblasts gene signature mainly related to the core matrisome and ECM regulators. The regulation of selected genes was validated at protein level attesting to the robustness of the transcriptome analysis. Altogether, our data brought new insights into an ECM signature that is coherent with the organization and function of the papillary and reticular dermis.

Human skin fibroblast proteome in healthy aging

Project description:The changes in the proteome of different human tissues with advancing age are poorly characterized. Here, we studied the proteins present in skin fibroblasts collected from 82 healthy individuals across a wide age spectrum (22 to 89 years old) who participated in the GESTALT (Genetic and Epigenetic Signatures of Translational Aging Laboratory Testing) study of the National Institute on Aging, NIH. Proteins were extracted from lysed fibroblasts and subjected to liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis, and the expression levels of 9341 proteins were analyzed by linear regression models. Several differentially expressed proteins were implicated in processes that change with age, including autophagy, scavenging of reactive oxygen species (ROS), ribosome biogenesis, DNA replication, and DNA repair. Changes on these prominent pathways were further assessed using molecular and cell-culture approaches. Our study establishes a framework of the global proteome governing the homeostasis of the aged skin.
