Small proline-rich proteins 1 and 2 function as antimicrobial proteins in the skin

ABSTRACT: Using RNA-sequencing we tested how human sebaceous glands cells respond to bacterial stimuli by comparing the mRNA profiles of sebaceous gland cells treated with lipopolysaccharide to vehicle treated sebaceous gland cells.

Aldehyde oxidase 4 (Aox4) knockout effect on Harderian Gland (HG), White Adipose Tissue(WADT) and Liver (LIV)

Project description:The mouse aldehyde oxidase, Aox4 (aldehyde oxidase 4), is a molybdo-flavoenzyme. Harderian glands are the richest source of Aox4, although the protein is detectable also in sebaceous glands, epidermis and other keratinized epithelia. We performed whole genome gene expression experiment on Harderian Gland, White Adipose Tissue and Liver of WT and Aox4-/- animals.

Gastric Lgr5+ stem cells secrete antimicrobial proteins to shield against infection

Project description:R-spondin (Rspo) signaling is crucial for stem cell renewal and tissue homeostasis in the gastrointestinal tract. In the stomach, Rspo is secreted from myofibroblasts and controls epithelial gland regeneration by inducing proliferation of Wnt-responsive Axin2+ cells. Infection with H. pylori results in increased expression of stromal Rspo, leading to an expansion of Axin2+ isthmus stem cells and gland hyperplasia. Lgr5+ stem cells are exposed to Rspo3 but the effects of this are not well understood. Here we demonstrate that in addition to its effect as a mitogen, endogenous Rspo3 regulates the gene expression of Lgr5+ cells in the gland base in both antrum and corpus. Rspo3 inhibits proliferation and induces differentiation within the Lgr5+ compartment towards a secretory phenotype. Strikingly, the Rspo3-Lgr5 axis turns out to be required for epithelial antimicrobial defense. Infection with H. pylori induces a strong antimicrobial response, with Lgr5+ cells expressing antimicrobial compounds that are secreted into the lumen in an Rspo3-dependent manner. Depletion of Lgr5+ cells or knockout of Rspo3 in myofibroblasts leads to dramatic hyper-colonization of gastric glands, including the stem cell compartment, whereas systemic application of recombinant Rspo is sufficient to clear H. pylori from the glands. We provide an intriguing, unexpected feature of Lgr5+ cells, exhibiting an indivisible connection between stem cell signaling and antimicrobial self-protection.

Lipid metabolizing enzymes differ between preputial gland sebocytes and sebaceous gland sebocytes

Project description:Due to limited model systems for sebaceous glands we investigated potential suitability of preputial glands as model for sebaceous glands. We performed single-cell sequencing of murine preputial glands and back skin biopsies. This study revealed striking differences in lipid metabolizing enzyme expression and differentiation pathways found in sebocytes of the different tissues.

Human salivary basic proline-rich proteins

Project description:Human basic proline-rich proteins and basic glycosylated proline-rich proteins are the most complex family of human adult salivary proteins, secreted only by the parotid gland, expressed by the polymorphic PRB1-4 genes. This study reports the results obtained for their characterization in our laboratory utilizing integrated top-down and bottom-up HPLC-ESI-MS and MS/MS platform. The family include 11 parent peptides/proteins and more than 6 parent glycosylated proteins. Despite the complexity, on the basis of their primary structure they result the product of the duplication of three repeats and we propose that they can be classified in two main groups, the first including the peptides called P-E, P-Ko, IB-6, Ps-1, Ps-2, P-H, P-F, P-J, and P-D, the second including the peptides called IB-1, II-2 and the glycosylated basic proline-rich proteins codified by PRB3 and PRB4 genes. A third minor hybrid group includes the proteins called IB-8a Con1- and Con1+. Some of the proteins of the family (IB-1, II-2 and P-J) are almost always detectable in adult human saliva, while the others are expressed with different frequencies according to the phenotype. Various isoforms are detectable in the adult saliva and three of them, until now not reported (P-H S1→A, P-Ko P36→S, P-Ko A41→S), were characterized by MS/MS fragmentation.

Identification of genes involved in sebaceous gland carcinoma of the eyelid

Project description:Sebaceous gland carcinoma is the frequent malignant tumor of the eyelid. However, there is limited understanding of how altered gene expression of sebaceous gland carcinoma of the eyelid related to the pathogenesis. In this study, to identify genes involved in sebaceous gland carcinoma of the eyelid, global-scale gene expression analysis was carried out using a GeneChip® system.
