Retinoic acid promotes tissue regeneration by resolving stem cell lineage plasticity

ABSTRACT: Stem cells upended from their niche upon injury display lineage plasticity, a transient multi-lineage state essential for tissue repair. Employing high-throughput approaches and three-dimensional cultures of hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs), we investigate the signals that govern the transition between homeostatic regeneration and lineage plasticity. We identify retinoic acid (RA) as a master orchestrator of HFSC behavior during these two processes. In the hair follicle, RA signals within defined niches and interacts with WNT and BMP cues to drive hair regeneration. In wounded skin, reduced RA signaling prompts HFSCs to prioritize epidermal re-epithelialization and must be restored to promote hair regrowth. Substantiated in vivo, our findings have profound therapeutic implications for hair growth and for chronic wounds and cancers, where lineage plasticity is unresolved.

Paracrine TGFß Signaling Counterbalances BMP-Mediated Repression in Hair Follicle Stem Cell Activation

Project description:Hair follicle (HF) regeneration begins when communication between quiescent epithelial stem cells (SCs) and underlying mesenchymal dermal papillae (DP) generates sufficient activating cues to overcome repressive BMP signals from surrounding niche cells. We uncovered a hitherto unrecognized DP transmitter, TGFβ2, which activates Smad2/3 transiently in HFSCs concomitant with entry into tissue regeneration. We used microarrays to detect the genes specifically affected by TGFß receptor II-deficient mice upon HFSC activation. Hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs) of hair gem (HG) and bulge, and total skin keratinocytes were FACS-purified from the mouse back skin at 2nd telogen-to-anagen transition stages.

Signaling couples hair follicle stem cell quiescence with reduced histone H3K4/K9/K27me3 for proper tissue homeostasis

Project description:Mechanisms of plasticity to acquire different cell fates are critical for adult stem cell (SC) potential, yet are poorly understood. Reduced global histone methylation is an epigenetic state known to mediate plasticity in cultured embryonic SCs and T cell progenitors. We used mouse hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs) at two different hair cycle stages (early anagen and late catagen) to compare the genome-wide changes in the levels of histone modification marks H3K4me3, H3K9me3, and H3K27me3. Hair follicle stem cells from Early Anagen (EA-HFSCs) and Late Catagen (LC-HFSCs), and their non-HFSCs counterparts (nEA-HFSCs and nLC-HFSCs), were FACS-isolated for Chromatin Immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing (ChIP-seq) analysis of H3K4me3, H3K9me3, and H3K27me3.

Functional stem cell aging dictated by skin tissue microenvironment

Project description:Organismal aging in mammals is manifested with architectural alteration and functional decline of multiple organs throughout the body. In aged skin, hairs are sparse, which has led to the hypothesis that the hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs) undergo epidermal differentiation during aging. Here, we employ single cell analysis to interrogate aging-related changes in the HFSCs. Unexpectedly, HFSCs maintain their lineage fidelity and show no signs of shifting to an epidermal fate. Despite maintaining lineage identity, HFSCs do show prevalent transcriptional changes in extracellular matrix genes. Of importance, these HFSC changes are accompanied by profound architectural perturbations in the aging stem cell niche. Upon surveying the dermis from young and aged skin, we also observe age-related changes in many non-epithelial cell types, including resident immune cells, sensory neurons, arrector pili muscles, and blood vessels – all of which have been previously associated with abilities to modulate hair follicle regeneration. Consistent with both intrinsic and extrinsic alterations in stem cell: niche communications, we find that in response to skin wounding, aged HFSCs repair the epidermis, but are defective in hair follicle regeneration. Intriguingly, whereas aged dermis cannot support young HFSCs, aged HFSCs can be rescued when supported by young dermis. Together, these findings favor a model where skin tissue microenvironment plays a dominant role in dictating the molecular properties and activities of HFSCs.

Niche stiffening compromises stem cell potential during aging by reducing chromatin accessibility at bivalent promoters

Project description:Tissue homeostasis and regeneration require activation and subsequent lineage commitment of tissue-resident stem cells (SCs). These state changes are controlled by epigenetic barriers. Using hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs) as paradigm, we studied how aging impacts the chromatin landscape and function of mammalian SCs. Analyses of genome-wide chromatin accessibility revealed that aged HFSCs displayed widespread reduction of chromatin accessibility specifically at key SC self-renewal and differentiation genes that were characterized by bivalent promoters carrying both activating and repressive chromatin marks. Consistently, aged HFSCs showed reduced self-renewing capacity and attenuated ability to activate expression of these bivalent genes upon regeneration. These functional defects were niche-dependent as transplantation of aged HFSCs into young recipients or into ex vivo niches restored SC functions and transcription of poised genes. Mechanistically, aged HFSC niche displayed wide-spread alterations in extracellular matrix composition and mechanics, resulting in compressive forces on SCs and subsequent transcriptional repression, leading to loss of bivalent promoters. Tuning tissue mechanics both in vivo and in vitro recapitulated age-related SC changes, implicating niche mechanics as a central regulator of genome organization and function leading to age-dependent SC exhaustion.

Innate immunity controls hair regeneration and growth via BMP signaling

Project description:Tight immune defense against environment and a unique ability of self-repair are the hallmarks of epithelia. Here we show that innate immunity Toll like receptor 2 (TLR2) coordinates these key functions thereby promoting hair growth and tissue regeneration. TLR2 is enriched in hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs) and its levels change in hair cycle and skin disorders. The lack of TLR2 in HFSCs diminishes activation and proliferation of HFSCs markedly prolonging the resting phase of hair cycle. Transcriptome profiling of HFSCs revealed that TLR2 regulates main hair regeneration pathways. TLR2 deletion upregulates inhibitory BMP7 signaling, while the blockade by Noggin restores deficient HFSCs proliferation in the absence of TLR2. In injury model TLR2 is required for both, tissue and hair regeneration. While endothelial TLR2 drives wound revascularization and closure, HFSC TLR2 controls hair regrowth. Endogenous TLR2 ligand produced in hair follicles promotes hair regeneration and growth via HFSC TLR2. Together, HFSC TLR2 drives stem cell proliferation, hair cycle and regeneration.

Obesity accelerates hair thinning by stem cell-centric converging mechanism [RNA-seq]

Project description:Obesity, a worldwide epidemic, predisposes to many ageing-associated diseases, yet its exact impact on organ dysfunction is largely unknown. Hair follicles, mini-epithelial organs that grow hair, miniaturize by ageing to cause hair loss through the depletion of hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs). Here, we report that obesity-induced stress such as by high-fat diet (HFD) feeding primarily targets HFSCs to accelerate hair thinning. Chronological gene expression analysis revealed that HFD feeding for four consecutive days directs activated HFSCs toward epidermal keratinization by generating excessive reactive oxygen species yet retains HFSC pools in young mice. Integrative analysis with stem cell fate tracing, epigenetic analysis and reverse genetics revealed that further feeding of HFD subsequently induces lipid droplets and NF-B activation within HFSCs via autocrine/paracrine IL1R signaling. Those integrated factors converge on the profound inhibition of Sonic hedgehog (Shh) signal transduction in HFSCs, thereby further depleting lipid-laden HFSCs through their aberrant differentiation and inducing hair follicle miniaturization and eventual hair loss. Conversely, Shh activation by transgenes or compounds rescues HFD-induced hair loss. These data collectively demonstrate that stem cell inflammageing induced by obesity robustly represses organ regeneration signals to accelerate the mini-organ miniaturization, and suggests the importance of daily prevention of organ dysfunction.
