Progenitor-derived endothelin controls dermal sheath contraction for hair follicle regression

ABSTRACT: Progenitor cell death and dermal papilla relocation during the regression phase of the hair growth cycle are essential for stem cell activation and follicle regeneration. This drastic follicle remodeling is coordinated by dermal sheath (DS) smooth muscle contraction, but how DS-generated forces are regulated is unknown. Here, we identify endothelin signaling - a potent vasoconstriction-regulating pathway - as the key activating mechanism of DS contraction. Pharmacological blocking or genetic ablation of both endothelin receptors, ETA and ETB, impedes DS contraction and halts follicle regression. Progenitors at the epithelial strand bottleneck are the main source of endothelin ligand ET-1, which is required for follicle regression. ET signaling in DS cells and downstream contraction is dynamically regulated by cytoplasmic Ca2+ levels via cell membrane and sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium channels. Together, these findings illuminate an epithelial-mesenchymal-interaction paradigm in which progenitors - before undergoing programmed cell death - control the contraction of the surrounding sheath smooth muscle to orchestrate homeostatic tissue regression and follicle reorganization.

Dermal sheath contraction powers stem cell niche relocation during hair cycle regression

Project description:Tissue homeostasis requires the balance of growth by cell production and regression through cellular loss. In the hair cycle during follicle regression, the niche traverses the skin through an unknown mechanism to reach the stem cells and prime regeneration. Here, by cell specific ablation and intravital imaging in live mice, we identify the follicle-lining dermal sheath as the key driver of tissue regression and niche relocation via smooth muscle contractile machinery that generates centripetal constriction force. We reveal the calcium/calmodulin/myosin light chain kinase pathway as the mechanism of sheath contraction that when blocked inhibits follicle contraction and impedes regression and niche relocation. Thus, our study identifies the dermal sheath as a smooth muscle that drives regression for reuniting niche and stem cells to regenerate tissue structure during homeostasis.

Gene expression profiling of the intact dermal sheath cup of human hair follicle

Project description:The dermal sheath cup is the peribulbar component of the hair follicle dermal sheath, and has hair inductive potential similar to the dermal papilla. To characterize it in comparison with other mesenchymal follicle tissuesparts, we performed gene expression profiling of intact dermal sheath cups, which were separated from hair follicles by microdissection. Gene expression profiles of the dermal sheath cup, dermal papilla and upper dermal sheath were compared. We identified a dermal sheath cup signature composed of 32 upregulated genes, which included extracellular matrix components and BMP binding mollecules, while dermal papilla signature included a number of dermal papilla signature genes which had already reported. Analyses of upstream regulators showed that TGF- b1 is a putative regulator of these genes. These results suggest some of molecular mechanism that contributes to human dermal sheath cup properties, which could be useful for hair follicle bioengineering.

Î²-cateinin activation in hair follicle dermal sheath induces ectopic hair outgrowth and skin fibrosis

Project description:Dermal sheath (DS) shows potent hair inducing capability and high plasticity without leading to immuno rejection. A recent study showed a subset of DS cells, identified as hair follicle (HF) dermal stem cells, can be mobilized to regenerate DS, maintain/supply the cell number of dermal papilla (DP) and modulate hair type. However, it is unclear how Wnt/Î²-catenin signaling regulates DS cells behaviors. Here we report that activation of Î²-catenin in DS, to some extent, endows it with hair inducing ability, reprogramming HF epidermal cells to generate new outgrowth. The new formed dermal condensates (DC)/DP lying adjacent the outgrowth derives from DS and/or its progeny, and homeostasis of pre-existing HFs is disturbed. Additionally, progressive skin fibrosis is prominent in hypodermis, where the excessive activated fibroblasts at least partially originate from DS and/or its progeny. Gene expression analysis of purified DS cells revealed that 44% DC signature genes are regulated, most of which are up-regulated. We found elevated expression of several growth factors, including Noggin, Fgf7 and Fgf10, which were previously implicated in HF induction. In summary, we confirm the high plasticity of DS cells by in vivo assays and report a mechanism by which Wnt/Î²-catenin signaling controls DS cells behaviors. We prospectively isolated control and cÎex3 DS cells (YFP+ve CD34-ve ALP-ve ITGÎ±8-ve cells) from P15 dorsal skins by FACS.

Chronic hypoxia changes gene expression profile of primary rat carotid body cells: consequences on the expression of NOS isoforms and ET-1 receptors

Project description:Chronic hypoxia (CH) produces changes not fully understood in morphology and function of the carotid body (CB). To characterize the effect of CH, primary rat CB cells were exposed to 7 days of CH, total RNA was extracted, cDNA-32P synthesized and hybridized with 1185 genes printed on a nylon membrane. Out of 324 differentially expressed genes, 184 were up-regulated and 140 were down-regulated. Since data analyses showed that nitric oxide synthases (NOS) and endothelin-1 (ET-1) pathways were enriched, we studied the effect of CH at protein levels of NOS isoforms and ET-1 receptors. CH induced an increase in all NOS and in ET-1 receptor B (ETB). Combining CH and SNAP, iNOS and ETB were significantly up-regulated, whereas the ET-1 receptor A (ETA) was down-regulated, while Tezosentan up-regulated iNOS and ETA and L-NAME induced up-regulation of all NOS. These results described the changes of CH on the CB gene expression profile, affecting a possible interaction in between NOS and ET-1 receptors, as part of the adaptive CB response to CH.
