Aldh2 dependent formaldehyde metabolism fuels purine demands in melanocyte stem cells

ABSTRACT: In the McSC lineage in zebrafish, Aldh2 activity is an important source of formate through its metabolism of its substrate formaldehyde. This formate is required as input into the folate cycle, in particular de novo purine biosynthesis. This scRNA-seq experiment was conducted to investigate the global effects of Aldh2 inhibition on the transcriptomes of isolated McSCs.

Dissection of melanocyte stem cell transcriptomes during melanocyte regeneration in adult zebrafish

Project description:To elucidate mechanisms governing McSC self-renewal and differentiation we analyzed individual transcriptomes from thousands of melanocyte lineage cells during the regeneration process. We identified transcriptional signatures for McSCs, deciphered transcriptional changes and intermediate cell states during regeneration, and analyzed cell-cell signaling changes to discover mechanisms governing melanocyte regeneration.

Quietly hiding: PD-L1 checkpoint expression in melanocyte stem cell quiescence and aging

Project description:Cellular quiescence is a reversible and tightly regulated stem cell function that is essential for healthy aging. However, the control elements of tissue-specific renewal, quiescence, and aging remain poorly understood. Using melanocyte stem cells (McSCs) to model and test the regulation of tissue-specific quiescence, we find that stem cell quiescence is neither a singular nor static process. McSCs display remarkable heterogeneity, with a fraction expressing the immune checkpoint protein PD-L1. Differential gene expression profiling identifies tissue-specific control of this immune privilege, specifically during melanocyte stem cell dormancy. In vitro quiescence assays confirm that inducing quiescence is sufficient to drive PD-L1 expression in melanoblasts and PD-L1 subsequently regulates aspects of melanoblast cell cycling. In vivo, a portion of McSCs appear to leverage this immune checkpoint as a key aspect of their dynamics during the dormant stage of the hair cycle. With age, this dynamic becomes unbalanced, tipping towards a higher proportion of PD-L1-expressing McSCs and a more deeply quiescent McSC pool. Collectively, these findings demonstrate that immune checkpoint expression is a physiological attribute of McSC quiescence and offer PD-L1-expressing quiescent stem cells as molecular targets for potential reactivation in regenerative and gerontological medicine.

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.

PKCepislon-ALDH2 Pathway Plays a Novel Role in Adipocyte Differentiation

Project description:ALDH2 activator, Alda-1, is able to increase the catalytic activity of ALDH2. ALDH2 expression negatively correlates with obesity in mice while 4-HNE accumulation is positively associated with obesity and is increased in terminal adipocyte differentiation. We compared the difference of transcription profile between ethanol (EtOH)-treated and Alda-1-treated cells in induced adipocyte differentiation of 3T3-L1 pre-adipocytes.

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.

Molecular mechanism underlying increased ischemic damage in the ALDH2*2 genetic polymorphism using a human iPSC model system

Project description:We investigated the ALDH2*2 genetic polymorphism and its underlying mechanisms for the first time in a human model system of induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (iPSC-CMs) generated from individuals carrying the most common heterozygous form of the ALDH2*2 genotype. We showed that the ALDH2*2 mutation confers elevated levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and toxic aldehydes such as 4HNE, thereby inducing cell cycle arrest and activation of apoptotic signaling pathways, especially during ischemic injury. ALDH2 exerts control of cell survival decisions via modulation of oxidative stress levels. This regulatory circuitry was found to be dysfunctional in the loss-of-function ALDH2*2 genotype, causing upregulation of apoptosis in cardiomyocytes following ischemic insult. These results reveal a novel function of the metabolic enzyme ALDH2 in modulation of cell survival decisions. Molecular mechanism of increased ischemic damage in cardiomyocytes of ALDH2*2 genotype.

p53 regulates ethanol metabolism via ALDH2 modulating the development of alcoholic fatty liver disease

Project description:The tumor suppressor p53 is critical for tumor suppression and other biological events. Yet, the regulatory role of p53 in alcohol-induced fatty liver remains unclear. Here, we show a role for p53 in regulating the ethanol metabolism via acetaldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2), a key enzyme responsible for oxidization of alcohol. Through repressing ethanol oxidization, p53 suppresses intracellular levels of acetyl-CoA and histone acetylation, leading to the inhibition of the stearoyl-CoA desaturase-1 (SCD1) gene expression. Mechanistically, p53 directly binds to ALDH2 and prevents the formation of its active tetramer, and indirectly limits the production of pyruvate that promotes the activity of ALDH2. Notably, p53 deficient mice exhibit increased lipid accumulation, which can be reversed by ALDH2 depletion. Moreover, hepatic specific knockdown of SCD1 diminishes ethanol-induced fatty liver caused by p53 loss. By contrast, overexpression of SCD1 in liver promotes ethanol-induced fatty liver development in wildtype mice, while has mild effect on p53-/- or ALDH2-/- mice. Overall, our findings reveal a previously unrecognized function of p53 in alcohol-induced fatty liver, and uncover pyruvate as a natural regulator of ALDH2.
