Characterization of Diabetic and Non-Diabetic Foot Ulcers Using Single-Cell RNA-Sequencing

ABSTRACT: We examined the feasibility of single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) analysis to evaluate human chronic wound samples acquired in the clinic, subjected to prolonged cold ischemia time, and processed without FACS sorting. Wound tissue from human diabetic and non-diabetic plantar foot ulcers were evaluated using an optimized 10X Genomics scRNA-seq platform and analyzed using a modified data pipeline designed for low-yield specimens. Cell subtypes were identified informatically and their distributions and transcriptional programs were compared between diabetic and non-diabetic tissue. 139,000 diabetic and non-diabetic wound cells were delivered for 10X capture after either 90 or 180 min of cold ischemia time. cDNA library concentrations were 858.7 and 364.7 pg/µL, respectively, prior to sequencing. Among all barcoded fragments, we found that 83.5% successfully aligned to the human transcriptome and 68% met the minimum cell viability threshold. The average mitochondrial mRNA fraction was 8.5% for diabetic cells and 6.6% for non-diabetic cells, correlating with differences in cold ischemia time. A total of 384 individual cells were of sufficient quality for subsequent analyses; from this cell pool, we identified transcriptionally-distinct cell clusters whose gene expression profiles corresponded to fibroblasts, keratinocytes, neutrophils, monocytes, and endothelial cells. Fibroblast subpopulations with differing fibrotic potentials were identified, and their distributions were found to be altered in diabetic vs. non-diabetic cells.

Gene Expression from diabetic ischemic limbs in WT and p75KO mice

Project description:Transcriptome analysis was carried out to characterise the different responses of diabetic and non-diabetic WT and p75KO mice to ischemia C57BL/6J-p75NTR-/- (p75KO) and p75NTR+/+ (WT) littermates were bred starting from breeding pairs. Six to seven week old male p75KO and WT mice were made diabetic using streptozotocin (STZ, 40 mg/kg in 0.1mol/l citrate buffer pH4.5 i.p. per day for 5 days or left normoglycemic by STZ buffer injections. One or three months after diabetes induction, anesthetized mice underwent unilateral hindlimb ischemia by permanent ligation and electro-coagulation of the proximal end of femoral arteries. At the same time, full thickness wounds were created in the thigh dorsal skin of both legs using a sterile 5-mm-wide biopsy punch. Samples for gene expression analysis were taken from the wounds three days later.

Differentially Expressed Wound Healing-Related microRNAs in the Human Diabetic Cornea

Project description:MicroRNAs are powerful gene expression regulators, but their corneal repertoire and potential changes in corneal diseases remain unknown. Our purpose was to identify miRNAs altered in the human diabetic cornea by microarray analysis, and to examine their effects on wound healing in cultured telomerase-immortalized human corneal epithelial cells (HCEC) in vitro. Using microarrays, 29 miRNAs were identified as differentially expressed in diabetic samples. Two miRNA candidates showing the highest fold increased in expression in the diabetic cornea were confirmed by Q-PCR and further characterized. HCEC transfection with h-miR-146a or h-miR-424 significantly retarded wound closure, but their respective antagomirs significantly enhanced wound healing vs. controls. Cells treated with h-miR-146a or h-miR-424 had decreased p-p38 and p-EGFR staining, but these increased over control levels close to the wound edge upon antagomir treatment. In conclusion, several miRNAs with increased expression in human diabetic central corneas were found. Two such miRNAs inhibited cultured corneal epithelial cell wound healing. Dysregulation of miRNA expression in human diabetic cornea may be an important mediator of abnormal wound healing. Total RNA was extracted from age-matched human autopsy normal (n=6) and diabetic (n=6) central corneas, Flash Tag end-labeled, and hybridized to Affymetrix® GeneChip® miRNA Arrays. Select miRNAs associated with diabetic cornea were validated by quantitative RT-PCR (Q-PCR) and by in situ hybridization (ISH) in independent samples.

Wound healing and hair follicle regeneration with topical BRAF inhibitor therapy in a diabetic model

Project description:Wound healing is a multi-step process to rapidly restore barrier function. This process is often impaired in diabetic patients resulting in chronic wounds and amputation. We previously found that paradoxical activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway via topical administration of the BRAF inhibitor vemurafenib accelerates wound healing by activating keratinocyte proliferation and reepithelialization pathways in healthy mice. Herein, we investigated whether this wound healing acceleration also occurs in impaired diabetic wounds and found that topical vemurafenib not only improves wound healing in a murine diabetic wound model, but unexpectedly promotes hair follicle regeneration. Neogenic hair follicles expressing Sox-9, CD34 and K15 were found in wounds of diabetic and non-diabetic mice, and their formation can be prevented by blocking downstream MEK signaling. Thus, topically applied BRAF inhibitors may accelerate wound healing, and promote the restoration of improved skin architecture in both normal and impaired wounds.

Group B Streptococcal Pathogenesis in Diabetic Wounds

Project description:Diabetic wound infections have poor healing outcomes due to the presence of numerous pathogens in addition to an impaired immune response. Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is one of the most commonly isolated bacteria from diabetic wound infections, but virulence mechanisms GBS uses during these infections have not been investigated. Here, we developed a new murine model of GBS diabetic wound infection to determine how GBS establishes infection and persists in the wound environment. Using dual RNA sequencing, we demonstrate that GBS infection of diabetic wounds triggers an inflammatory response, leading to increased transcript levels of inflammatory cytokines and chemokines as well as markers of neutrophil degranulation such as myeloperoxidase, calprotectin, and elastase. We then confirm that diabetic wounds infected with GBS have significantly higher abundance of Il-1b, KC (CXCL1), myeloperoxidase, calprotectin and elastase in wound tissues than uninfected controls . When examining how GBS adapts to this hyper-inflammatory environment we find that GBS upregulates numerous virulence factors including the surface plasminogen-binding protein pbsP, the nuclease nucA, the cyl operon which is responsible for hemolysin production and pigmentation as well as numerous effectors of type VII secretion. In addition, we recovered multiple hyper-pigmented/hemolytic GBS colonies from the murine diabetic wound environment which encode mutations in the two-component system covRS. We then go on to demonstrate that a mutant in cylE, which is repressed by CovR, is attenuated in diabetic wound infection. Finally, we examine the most highly upregulated gene pbsP in diabetic wound infection and find that PbsP is necessary for diabetic wound infection via adherence to the skin and promotion of inflammation.
