MRNA sequencing of skins isolated from B6;129S4-Npytm2Rpa/J homozygous mice and wildtype litter mates reveals transcriptomic changes indicative of skin inflammation associated with Npy overexpression.

ABSTRACT: Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is a pleiotropic peptide produced in the central nervous system and peripheral organs. Despite conjectures that NPY may have a role in skin physiology and pathology, the effects of NPY in this organ remain poorly understood. We reported that a knock-in mouse with entopic NPY overexpression exhibits significantly elevated NPY in the skin, accompanied by premature and progressive hair graying secondary to depletion of melanocyte stem cells within hair follicles. However, the question remains as to whether NPY overexpression in the skin can induce non-melanocyte pathology. In this study, we employed this mouse to investigate consequences of skin-specific overexpression of NPY. Our findings show that chronic NPY overexpression in the skin induces dermal fibrosis and epidermal hyperkeratosis. Additionally, NPY overexpression induces significant accumulation of macrophages and T-regs in the dermis. RNA sequencing of whole skin from NPY-overexpressing mice further reveals NPY-mediated transcriptional changes consistent with inflammatory processes and inflammation-associated skin changes. Together, these results provide long-awaited evidence of NPY’s involvement in skin pathology, providing a background for future precise definition of its role in the regulation of cutaneous homeostasis.

Expression analysis of melanocyte stem cells from Mitfmi-vga9/+ mice reveals a role for MITF in the transcriptional regulation of innate immune gene expression

Project description:Melanocyte stem cells (McSCs) and mouse models of hair graying serve as useful systems to uncover mechanisms involved in stem cell self-renewal and the maintenance of regenerating tissues. Interested in assessing genetic variants of hair graying, we found that the Mitfmi-vga9/+ strain of mice is susceptible to loss of McSC maintenance via ectopic McSC differentiation. Based on transcriptome and molecular analyses of Mitfmi-vga9/+ mice we report a novel role for MITF in the regulation of systemic innate immune gene expression. We also demonstrate that viral mimic (poly I:C) is sufficient to expose genetic susceptibility to hair graying. These observations point to a critical suppressor of innate immunity and the consequences of its dysregulation, and for melanocytes, both may have particular implications for the autoimmune, depigmenting disease vitiligo.

Transcriptional Profiling of Black and White Skins Reveals Expression Patterns of mRNA and lncRNA changes for lacking melanocyte in Bama pig

Project description:Skin is the largest organ of body, and one function of skin is protecting underly organs away from ultraviolet (UV) radiation damage. Loss of melanocyte will reduce ability of skin to against UV radiation damage. We found Bama Pig can be an ideal model studying loss of melanocyte. In this study, we performed transcriptome profiling of mRNA and long noncoding RNA in Bama pig white skin (absence of melanocyte) and black skin (existence of melanocyte) to provide dataset for clinical researches. Total of 14,900 mRNAs and 7,566 lncRNAs were expressed in the study. Results of hierarchical cluster analysis and principal component analysis (PCA) demonstrated expression of mRNAs and lncRNAs varied greatly between two color skins. 2,342 mRNA were identified as being differentially expressed, including 1,309 genes that were down-regulated in white skin and 1,033 gene that were up-regulated in white skin (P <0.05; |log2(fold change)| > 1). The genes down-regulated in white skin were associated with melanocyte biology, melanocyte function and keratin, while genes up-regulated in white skin were main associated with metabolism pathway, oxidative phosphorylation and citrate cycle (TCA cycle). In addition, we identified 120 differentially expressed lncRNAs. In those lncRNAs, 4 lncRNAs may function in skin biology (TCONS_00019024 and TCONS_00077733) or metabolic (TCONS_00042201 and TCONS_00060772). Our research provides Bama pig skins datasets and could promote clinical researches utilizing Bama pig as model.

BMP signaling: at the gate between activated melanocyte stem cells and differentiation [ATAC-seq]

Project description:Through recurrent bouts synchronous with the hair cycle, quiescent melanocyte stem cells (McSCs) become activated to generate proliferative progeny that differentiate into pigment-producing melanocytes. The signaling factors orchestrating these events remain incompletely understood. Here, we use single cell RNA-sequencing with comparative gene expression analysis to elucidate the transcriptional dynamics of McSCs through quiescence, activation, and melanocyte maturation. Unearthing signs of increased WNT and BMP signaling along this progression, we endeavored to understand how these pathways are integrated during differentiation. Employing conditional lineage-specific genetic ablation studies in mice, we find that loss of BMP signaling in the lineage leads to hair graying due to a block in melanocyte maturation. We show that interestingly, BMP signaling functions downstream of activated McSCs and maintains WNT effector, transcription factor LEF1. Employing pseudotime analysis, genetics, and promoter analyses, and chromatin landscaping, we show that following WNT-mediated activation of McSCs, BMP and WNT pathways collaborate to trigger the commitment of proliferative progeny by fueling LEF1 and MITF-dependent differentiation. Our findings shed light upon the signaling interplay and timing of cues that orchestrate melanocyte lineage progression in the hair follicle and underscore a key role for BMP signaling in driving complete differentiation.

Gene Expression data for melanocyte stem cells and melanoblasts isolated from the skin of wild-type mice and B-raf and C-raf double knock-out mice

Project description:Melanocyte are melanin-producing cells located in the bottom layer of the skin's epidermis and in the hair follicle. Melanin is the pigment primarily responsible notably for skin and hair color. Our team had previously shown a role for B-raf and C-raf genes in the maintenance of melanocyte stem cells located in mice hair follicle (Valluet et al, 2012). The aim of the present project was to understand the role of B-RAF and C-RAF kinases in melanocyte stem cell self-renewal. To reach this goal, we have generated a new mouse model in which cells of the melanocyte lineage can be followed by GFP expression. We performed gene array on melanocyte stem cell B-raf+/+; C-raf+/+ and B-raf-/-; C-raf-/-in order to identify the RAF kinases target genes which are involved in melanocyte stem cell self-renewal. Moreover, to better characterize the melanocyte stem cell population, we compared its gene expression profile to the melanoblast one (melanocyte stem cell's progenitors).

Dynamic regulation of chromatin accessibility during melanocyte stem cell activation

Project description:We sorted melanocyte nuclei from quiescent (telogen) skin, skin actively producing hair shafts (anagen), and skin exposed to UVB. With these sorted nuclei, we then utilized single-nucleus assay for transposase-accessible chromatin with high-throughput sequencing (snATAC-seq) and characterized three melanocyte lineages: quiescent McSCs (qMcSCs), activated McSCs (aMcSCs), and differentiated melanocytes (dMCs) that co-exist in all three skin conditions. Furthermore, we successfully identified differentially accessible genes and enriched transcription factor binding motifs for each melanocyte lineage. Our findings reveal potential gene regulators that determine these melanocyte cell states and provide new insights into how aMcSC chromatin states are regulated differently under divergent intrinsic and extrinsic cues. We also provide a publicly available online tool with a user-friendly interface to explore this comprehensive dataset, which will provide a resource for further studies on McSC regulation upon natural or UVB-mediated stem cell activation.

BMP signaling: at the gate between activated melanocyte stem cells and differentiation [SMART-Seq2 single cell RNA-seq]

Project description:Adult tissue stem cells protect their long-term potential by exerting precise control over their transitions between quiescence, activation, and differentiation. Through cyclic bouts synchronous with the hair cycle, quiescent melanocyte stem cells (McSCs) become activated to generate proliferative progeny that differentiate to produce and transfer pigment to hair cells. The signaling factors orchestrating this process are still poorly understood. Here, we use single cell RNA-sequencing with pseudotime analysis to elucidate the transcriptional trajectory of McSCs through quiescence, activation, and differentiation into mature melanocytes. Unearthing signs of increased WNT and BMP signaling along this progression, we lineage-ablate either pathway and see hair graying. We show that BMP signaling functions downstream of McSCs but upstream of WNT signaling through LEF1. After stem cell activation, the two pathways trigger committed, proliferative progeny to fuel MITF-dependent differentiation. Analyses of the promoters required for melanosome maturation suggest a specific reliance upon MITF and LEF1 transcription factors, which we show are dampened without BMP signaling. Our findings shed light upon the signaling interplay that orchestrates the melanocyte lineage. Moreover, the block in differentiation and enhanced proliferation observed in the absence of BMP signaling raises the disconcerting possibility that BMP may harbor not only tumor promoting but also tumor suppressing activity in melanoma.
