Short-Term Treatment with Rho-Associated Kinase Inhibitor Preserves Keratinocyte Stem Cell Characteristics In Vitro

ABSTRACT: Primary keratinocytes including keratinocyte stem cells (KSCs) can be cultured as epidermal sheets in vitro and are attractive for cell and gene therapies for genetic skin disorders. However, the initial slow growth of freshly isolated keratinocytes hinders clinical applications. Rho-associated kinase inhibitor (ROCKi) has been used to overcome this obstacle, but its influence on the characteristics of KSC and its safety for clinical application remains unknown. In this study, primary keratinocytes were treated with ROCKi Y-27632 for six days (short-term). Significant increases in colony formation and cell proliferation during the six-day ROCKi treatment were observed and confirmed by related protein markers and single-cell transcriptomic analysis. In addition, short-term ROCKi-treated cells maintained their differentiation ability as examined by 3D-organotypic culture. However, these changes could be reversed and became indistinguishable between treated and untreated cells once ROCKi treatment was withdrawn. Further, the short-term ROCKi treatment did not reduce the number of KSCs. In addition, AKT and ERK pathways were rapidly activated upon ROCKi treatment. In conclusion, short-term ROCKi treatment can transiently and reversibly accelerate initial primary keratinocyte expansion while preserving the holoclone-forming cell population (KSCs), providing a safe avenue for clinical applications.

Single keratinocyte analysis uncovers Foxm1 as a Yap-dependent regulator of human epidermal stem cells (scRNA-Seq)

Project description:Autologous epidermal cultures can permanently restore a functional epidermis on severely burned patients. Transgenic epidermal grafts do so also in genetic skin diseases as Junctional Epidermolysis Bullosa. Clinical success strictly requires an adequate number of epidermal stem cells, detected as holoclone-forming cells. To date, such cells can be only partially distinguished from the other transient amplifying clonogenic keratinocytes and cannot be prospectively isolated. Here we show that genome-wide single-cell transcriptome analysis performed on primary human epidermal keratinocyte cultures identified categories of genes clearly distinguishing the different clonal types, unveiled that holoclone-forming cells are enriched in genes regulating cell cycle, DNA repair (including telomerase), chromosome segregation and spindle organization, confirmed that human epidermal keratinocytes are hierarchically organized along a continuous, mainly linear trajectory showing that stem cells sequentially generate progenitors producing terminally differentiated cells and uncovered the role of FOXM1 as a YAP-dependent key regulator of normal and adhesion-defective epidermal stem cells.

Transcriptional profiling of primary human keratinocytes treated with interferon gamma and/or infected with HSV-2 using Illumina beadarray

Project description:We aim to analyze the transcriptional profiles of primary human keratinocytes in response to interferon gamma (IFNG) treatment and/or HSV-2 (strain HG-52) infection. The goal is to define IFNG regulated intrinsic immunity of primary human keratinocytes and how HSV-2 infection regulates the intrinsic immunity of primary human keratinocyte.

Comparative transcriptome profiling of human epidermis keratinocyte stem cells (KSC) versus keratinocyte progenitors (KP)

Project description:To characterize the global transcriptome of human keratinocyte stem cells (KSC) and keratinocyte progenitors (KP), primary basal keratinocyte subpopulations enriched in quiescent stem cells [Itg-α6bright / Trf-Rdim] or in cycling progenitors [Itg-α6bright / Trf-Rbright] were purified by flow cytometry from human skin samples. Sorted keratinocytes were then seeded in culture plates and maintained in culture medium overnight (15 hours), and genome-wide transcriptome analysis of these two subpopulations was directly performed, in order to globally maintain the initial phenotypes. After RNA preparation, gene profiling was performed using oligonucleotide microarrays (26068 probes). LOWESS normalisation was applied. Keywords: epidermis, keratinocyte stem cells, progenitors, transcriptome, stemness

Impact of shRNA-mediated MXD4/MAD4 down-modulation on the transcriptome profile of human keratinocyte precursor cells

Project description:Characterization at the global transcriptome level of the gene networks ensuring the regulation of the immature status of cutaneous stem- and precursor-cells is a necessary step to further understand the concept of ‘stemness’ in this tissue. Moreover, considering possible clinical applications, the search for molecular targets to control stem cell characteristics and regenerative capacity is a necessary step to improve therapeutic approaches. Cutaneous cell therapy is concerned by this objective, as skin graft bioengineering requires a phase of ex vivo expansion of keratinocytes from donors, during which the preservation of a sufficient stem cell pool is critical for graft take and long-term skin regeneration. We have investigated the role of transcription factor MXD4/MAD4 in native keratinocyte precursors from adult human skin. A stable lentiviral-based shRNA-mediated MXD4 knock‑down (KD) approach was developed and used to study the properties of MXD4-deficient [MXD4KD] versus control [MXD4WT] native keratinocyte precursors. Using long-term cultures and clonal assays, we found that decreased MXD4 expression increased keratinocyte precursor immaturity and clonogenic potential, thus promoting self-renewal. Importantly, [MXD4KD] keratinocyte precursors exhibited an improved capacity for three-dimensional epidermis reconstruction, which was preserved at a late ex vivo expansion stage where this potential was lost in [MXD4WT] keratinocytes. To analyze the biological impact of MXD4 knock‑down at the molecular level, comparative transcriptome profiling of [MXD4WT] and [MXD4KD] cells was performed using next-generation RNA sequencing (RNA-seq). This set of data provides a material that permits the dissection of genetic networks modulated by MXD4 in human keratinocyte precursor cells, and controlling their immature status and epidermis regeneration capacity.

Prolonging culture of primary human keratinocytes isolated from suction blisters with the Rho kinase inhibitor Y-27632

Project description:Keratinocytes are the most abundant cell type in the epidermis. They prevent desiccation and provide immunological and barrier defense against potential pathogens such as Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans. The study of this first line of immune defense may be hindered by invasive isolation methods and/or improper culture conditions to support stem cell maintenance and other potential mechanisms contributing to long-term subcultivation in vitro. Primary keratinocytes have been successfully isolated from blister roofs induced by negative pressure, which separates the epidermis from the dermis in vivo in human subjects. This method allows collection of pure epidermal cells without dermal contamination in a minimally invasive manner. However, the isolated keratinocytes differentiate and senesce when cultured in vitro beyond five passages. Here, we present evidence that the Rho kinase (ROCK) inhibitor Y-27632 can be used to effectively increase the proliferative capabilities of keratinocytes isolated using the suction blister method, similar to what has been previously reported for primary keratinocytes isolated using alternative methods. We show that the increase in passage number is directly correlated to delayed differentiation, and that cells passaged long term with the inhibitor retain their ability to stratify in organotypic raft cultures and respond to cytokine treatment; additionally, the late passage cells have a heterogeneous mix of differentiated and non-differentiated cells which may be predicted by a ratio of select differentiation markers. The described method presents a minimally invasive procedure for keratinocyte isolation and prolonged culture that allows analysis of keratinocyte function in both healthy volunteers and patients with dermatologic diseases.
