Revealing the Pathogenesis of Keloids Based on the Status: Active vs Inactive

ABSTRACT: Multiomics analysis demonstrated the distinct expression profile of active and inactive keloids. Clinically, these findings may provide the future appropriate directions for treatment of keloids depending on their activity and characteristics.

Integrated analysis of single-cell and spatial transcriptomics in keloids

Project description:To uncover the underlying pathophysiology of keloids, we used two technologies, single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and spatial transcriptomics (ST). we focused on the molecular signature of keloids. In this study, we provide the comprehensive transcriptomic atlas of keloids and its matched spatial information, essential to understanding intercellular crosstalk in the skin microenvironments.

Hypoxia and HIF-1α Regulate Collagen Production in Keloids

Project description:Keloids are reactive or spontaneous fibroproliferative dermal tumors characterized by the exaggerated and uncontrolled accumulation of extracellular collagen. Current approaches to mitigate keloidogenesis are largely procedural in nature. However, a better understanding of its biological drivers may lead to novel targeted treatments for keloids. Through whole-genome expression analysis, we found that a HIF-1α transcriptional footprint is preferentially upregulated (activation score=2.024; p=1.05E-19) in keloid fibroblasts (KFs) compared to normal dermal fibroblasts (NFs). We verified that HIF-1α protein is more strongly expressed in keloid specimens compared to normal skin (p=0.035) and that hypoxia (1% O2) leads to increased collagen, especially in the extracellular compartment. Collagen levels were uniformly reduced by selective HIF-1α inhibitor CAY10585. Our results indicate that collagen secretion may be intimately linked to a hypoxic microenvironment within keloid tumors and that HIF-1α blockade could be a novel avenue of treatment for these tumors.

Relief of extracellular matrix deposition repression by downregulation of IRF1-mediated TWEAK/Fn14 signaling in keloids

Project description:Keloids represent a fibrotic disorder characterized by the excessive deposition of extracellular matrix (ECM). However, the mechanisms by which ECM deposition in keloids is regulated remain elusive. Here, we found that the expression of both TWEAK and its cognate receptor Fn14 was significantly downregulated in keloids and that TWEAK/Fn14 signaling repressed the expression of ECM-related genes in keloid fibroblasts. The IRF1 gene was essential for this repression, and the TWEAK/Fn14 downstream transcription factor P65 directly bound to the promoter of the IRF1 gene and induced its expression. Furthermore, in keloid patients, the expression of TWEAK and Fn14 was negatively correlated with that of ECM genes and positively correlated with that of IRF1. These observations indicate that relief of TWEAK/Fn14/IRF1-mediated ECM deposition repression contributes to keloid pathogenesis, and the identified mechanism and related molecules provide potential targets for keloid treatment in the future.

Fibroblasts expressing PIEZO2 mechanoreceptor in keloids possibly cause alloknesis and short-term recurrence after surgical resection [RNA-seq]

Project description:Keloids are scar tissue that can develop under tensile stress and manifest the tactile itch called alloknesis due to the heterogeneous course. But the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying the pathology of keloid have been still unknown. Here, we found that unique fibroblast subpopulation that have dense-core granules with enhanced expression of PIEZO2 in the dermal layer of keloid tissue with alloknesis, a pressure-tactile itch. PIEZO2-expressed fibroblasts showed enhanced expression of COL1A1, COL1A2 and COL3A1. Gene expression profile analysis of fibrous disease tissues could distinguish the keloid cases by higher PIEZO2, which correlated with collagen COL1A1, COL1A2, and COL3A1 gene expression, not only from the keloid cases with lower PIEZO2 expression but also from the lymphedema cases where massive fibroblast proliferation appears. Notably, patients with the keloid accompanied by higher expression of PIEZO2 showed a significantly shorter time to recurrence after keloidectomy in patients with the keloids (4/5 vs. 0/5, p = 0.047). Thus, a unique subset of PIEZO2-positive fibroblasts may be involved in a keloid pathology and be a potent therapeutic target for the intractable keloids.

Keloid-specific gene expression profiling for accurate diagnostic and therapeutic applications.

Project description:Scars are a heterogeneous disease including normotrophic scars, hypertrophic scars, and keloids. Of these lesions, keloids are a distinct subtype from any other type of scar because clinically, it causes pain, itching, or tenderness, causing life discomfort and characteristically irreversible. Therefore, for accurate diagnosis and treatment of keloids, it is essential to identify keloid-specific genes. However, in previous studies, keloids were compared with controls such as scar-free normal skin. In these studies, general scar-related genes were likely to be chosen rather than keloid-specific genes. In this study, we acquired transcriptomic profiles of normotrophic scars, hypertrophic scars, and keloids from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded human skin samples using high-throughput RNA-sequencing techniques. We compared the transcriptome profile of keloids with those of other scar lesions to select for highly accurate keloid-specific genes and pathways. The results revealed that genes related with several biological processes such as sensory/visual perception are upregulated strongly in keloids, whereas genes related with activation of immune response were downregulated remarkably in keloids. Furthermore, the biological process of extracellular matrix organization was highlighted in both hypertrophic scars and keloids. In conclusion, our study provides insight into the pathogenesis of keloids distinct from other scar lesions as well as potential keloid-specific biomarkers.
