Changes in mouse epidermal DNA methylation during development of squamous cell carcinoma in response to UVR

ABSTRACT: Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is a common skin cancer, often caused by exposure to ultraviolet radiation (UVR). Recent studies have shown that changes in DNA methylation play a crucial role in the development of cancers. However, methylation patterns of SCC are not well characterised. Identifying biomarkers for the risk of developing SCC could be helpful for early detection and diagnosis, and can potentially improve treatment and prevention strategies. This study aimed to investigate methylation changes in the epidermis of mice exposed to UVR for 24 weeks. We examined the DNA methylation levels of 260,199 CpGs using the Illumina Infinium Mouse Methylation BeadChip and studied the epidermis of UVR-exposed and unexposed mice every four weeks for 24 weeks (n = 39). We identified CpGs with large differences in methylation levels (β-values) between UVR-exposed and unexposed mice. We also observed differences in the epigenetic age of these mice. We identified CpGs in Rev, Ipmk, Rad51b, Fgfr2, Fgfr3, and Ctnnb1 that may serve as potential biomarkers for SCC risk and could be helpful for the early detection and prevention of SCC. Further investigations are necessary to determine the biological functions and clinical significance of these CpGs.

RNA-seq of UV irradiated human epidermal melanocytes from neonatal foreskin, HEMn-DP2.

Project description:UVR is the principal risk factor for melanoma development. While the role of UVR in DNA mutagenesis is incontrovertible, it remains controversial what role UVR-induced mutations play in melanoma genesis. To better understand how UVR is contributing to melanoma development, we investigated the non-mutational effect of UVR on the epigenome, specifically DNA methylation. Aberrant DNA methylation changes are a hallmark in melanoma; however, there are few reports on the effects of UVR on DNA methylation. We exposed melanocytes to UVR and cultured them for one-month to detect hertible and stable changes in DNA methylation. We found both hyper and hypo methylated sites after UVR exposure. While many of these changes occured outside of promoters and areas of active gene expression, there were changes in promoter DNA methylation changes that correlated with changes in gene expression. These changes also correlated with those found in melanoma and UVR sensitive sites were prognostic of patient overall survival. Our work shows for the first time UVR induced DNA methylation changes in melanocytes and may be another way in which UVR contributes to melanoma development.

DNA methylation analysis by RRBS of UV irradiated human epidermal melanocytes from neonatal foreskin, HEMn-DP2.

Project description:UVR is the greastest risk factor for melanoma develoment. While the role of UVR in DNA mutagenesis is incontrovertable, is is unclear how UVR induced mutations contribute to melanoma. For example, many of the driver mutations ( BRAF V600E or NRAS Q61R) do not bear the UVR signature C>T mutation. To better understand how UVR is contributing to melanoma development, we investigated the non-mutational effect of UVR on the epigenome, specifically DNA methylation. Aberrant DNA methylation changes are a hallmark in melanoma and there are few reports on the effects of UVR ion DNA methylation. We exposed melanocytes to UVR and cultured them for one-month to detect hertible and stable changes in DNA methylation. We found both hyper and hypo methylated sites after UVR exposure. While many of these changes occured outside of promoters and areas of active gene expression, there were changes in promoter DNA methylation changes that correlated with changes in gene expression.

Slug-dependent UVR induction of cytokines and chemokines

Project description:Studies of the zinc finger transcription factors Slug and Snail have largely focused on their important role in modulating epithelial-mesenchymal transition during embryonic development and tumor progression. However, these transcription factors also appear to regulate local inflammation. In previous studies, we showed that Slug knockout mice were resistant to sunburn, an acute cutaneous inflammatory response, compared to wild type mice. In the present studies, we used Slug knockout, chimeric Slug knockout/wild type, conditional Slug knockout, and Slug transgenic mice to study the role of Slug in ultraviolet radiation (UVR)-induced cutaneous inflammation. We demonstrated, using immunohistochemistry, in vivo imaging, and neutrophil migration studies, that it was Slug expression in the epidermis rather than in neutrophils that modulated the UVR response. Microarray analysis indicated that this modulation was effected by the production of epidermal cytokines, including CCL3, CCL4, oncostatin, and interleukin-1β, that recruited neutrophils to UVR-exposed skin. The pattern of pro-inflammatory gene regulation by Slug suggested a central role for NF-κB in mediating gene induction. Immunohistochemical analysis of UVR-induced NF-κB activation demonstrated reduced activation in Slug knockout and enhanced activation in Slug transgenic epidermis. Slug thus appears to modulate NF-κB activation in response to UVR.

Molecular profiling of cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas and actinic keratoses from organ transplant recipients

Project description:The risk of developing cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is markedly increased in organ transplant recipients (OTRs) compared to the normal population. Next to sun exposure, the immunosuppressive regimen is an important risk factor for the development of SCC in OTRs. Various gene mutations (e.g. TP53) and genetic alterations (e.g. loss of CDKN2A, amplification of RAS) have been found in SCCs. The aim of this genome-wide study was to identify pathways that are consistently involved in the formation of SCCs and their precursor lesions, actinic keratoses (AKs). To perform the analysis in an isogenic background, RNA and DNA were isolated from normal (unexposed) epidermis, benign AK, and SCC from each of 15 OTRs. Hierarchical cluster analysis of mRNA expression profiles showed SCC, AK and epidermal samples to separate into three distinct groups. Several thousand genes were differentially expressed between epidermis, AK and SCC; most upregulated in SCCs were genes related to hyperproliferation and stress markers, such as keratin 6 (KRT6), KRT16 and KRT17. Matching to oncogenic pathways revealed activation of downstream targets of RAS and cMYC in SCCs and of NFkappaB and TNF already in AKs. Patients were selected from the group of OTRs that are regularly seen at the dermatology clinic of the Leiden University Medical Center. Patients with clinically suspected SCC were informed on the study and after informed consent was obtained, fresh frozen samples were obtained from SCCs (n=15), AKs (n=14) and NS (n=13). RNA was isolated and gene expression profiles were obtained using HumanWG-6 v2 Expression BeadChips (Illumina). The normalized expression data was analyzed for differences in expression between SCC, AK and NS, at single-gene level but also at geneset level.

Transcriptomic profile of Fanconi anemia (FA) epidermal stem and progenitor cells (ESPCs)

Project description:Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is a common cancer with global public health burden that arises from ESPCs in the skin or mucosa. To understand how genetic risk factors lay the foundation for SCC and develop effective prevention strategies, it is critical to understand the biology of ESPCs. Extreme predisposition to SCC is a hallmark of FA, an inherited disorder caused by germline loss-of-function mutations in any of 22 genes associated with the FA DNA repair pathway. Although DNA damage is the presumed cause, this does not explain the unique involvement of skin and mucosa as opposed to other solid tissues. To identify new epidermal vulnerabilities beyond DNA damage, we generated the first personalized model of FA epidermis. FA patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) with a conditional FA pathway (+/-Doxycycline, DOX) were differentiated into ESPCs and 3D epidermis. The goal of this study is to uncover FA-dependent biological processes, performing transcriptome analyses of ESPCs in presence or absence of DOX in monolayer cultures.
