Optimization of Tissue Digestion Methods for Characterization of Photoaged Skin by Single Cell RNA Sequencing Reveals Preferential Enrichment of T Cell Subsets

ABSTRACT: Healthy human skin tissue is often used as a control for comparison to diseased skin in patients with skin pathologies, including skin cancers or other inflammatory conditions such as atopic dermatitis or psoriasis. Although non-affected skin from these patients is a more appropriate choice for comparison, there is a paucity of studies examining such tissue. This lack is exacerbated by the difficulty of processing skin tissue for experimental analysis. In addition, choosing a processing protocol for skin tissue which preserves cell viability and identity while sufficiently dissociating cells for single-cell analysis is not a trivial task. Here, we compare three digestion methods for human skin tissue, evaluating the cell yield and viability for each protocol. We find that the use of a sequential dissociation method with multiple enzymatic digestion steps produces the highest cell viability. Using single-cell sequencing, we show this method results in a relative increase in the proportion of non-antigen-presenting mast cells and CD8 T cells as well as a relative decrease in the proportion of antigen-presenting mast cells and KYNU+ CD4 T cells. Overall, our findings support the use of this sequential digestion method on freshly processed human skin samples for optimal cell yield and viability.

Single-cell transcriptome conservation in a comparative analysis of fresh and cryopreserved human skin tissue: pilot in localized scleroderma

Project description:In this study, we compare paired fresh (RPMI) compared to frozen (Cryostor®CS10) frozen skin biopsies evaluated by 10X Genomics single cell RNA sequencing. Comparisons of the cell viability and yield, and transcript expression and yield between the two methodologies were proven to be equivalent.

Microarray analysis of gene expression in Rabgef1-knockout and control mouse skin

Project description:RABGEF1, a guanine nucleotide exchange factor for Rab5 GTPase, can negatively regulate mast cell activation in vitro. In addition, RabGEF1-deficient mice develop morbidity and severe skin inflammation associated with marked increases in skin mast cell numbers (Tam et al., Nat Immunol, 5(8):844-52, 2004). These findings suggest that over-reactive skin mast cells may contribute to the observed skin pathology in vivo. In order to identify the cell type(s) which contribute to skin inflammation when RabGEF1 is absent, we attempted to delete Rabgef1 gene specifically in three major skin cell types, namely mast cells, myeloid cells and keratinocytes; thus, Rabgef1 floxed (fl/fl) mice were crossed with mice expressing the Cre-recombinase under the influence of the promoter of Mcpt5, LysZ or K14, respectively. Unexpectedly, Mcpt5-Cre;Rabgef1fl/fl and Lysz-Cre;Rabgef1fl/fl mice appeared normal without phenotypic abnormalities. However, K14-Cre;Rabgef1fl/fl mice were normal at birth but rapidly developed morbidity and skin inflammation after 2-3 days, and died between 1 and 8 weeks of age. Skin (epidermis + dermis) was sampled from the center of the back behind shoulders, for 2 conditional knock-out mice (Rabgef1 lox/lox K14-Cre, hereafter called Rabgef1K-KO) and 2 control mice (Rabgef1 lox/lox). Total RNA was isolated from mouse skin using Trizol. Gene expression analysis was performed using Affymetrix Mouse Genome 430 2.0 arrays, with two replicates per genotype. Microarray data were analysed using Bioconductor for R.

Comparative gene expression analysis of 2 subpopulations of dermal papilla cells.

Project description:Different types of hair follicles can be found in the skin of mice. It is believed that the signals that control hair follicle differentiation arise from cells in a structure called the dermal papilla. Understanding the nature of those signals is of interest for the biology of the normal tissue. We have developed a technique for isolation of dermal cells by enzymatic digestion of intact skin. We have identified two subpopulations of cells that can be separated by FACS. The Sox2-positive CD133-positive cells are found exclusively in the dermal papillae of guard/awl/auchene hairs, while Sox2-negative, CD133-positive cells are found in the other hair follicle types. We compared these populations with unfractionated dermal cells. We isolated the following 3 populations of cells from the back skin of neonatal mice (P2) by Flow Cytometry: 1) GFP-CD133- Total dermal cells 2) GFP-CD133+ Dermal Papilla cells 3) GFP+CD133+ Dermal Papilla cells The yield is approximately 50,000 cells of each population.

Human connective tissue mast cell proteome

Project description:Mast cells are hematopoietic cells that reside preferentially in tissues exposed to internal and external environments. Mast cells sense immunological, inflammatory and environmental stimuli, and can be activated to release granules and generate inflammatory mediators. Mast cell-derived products confer protection against snake venoms and some parasite infections. Aberrant activation of mast cells is a major contributor to human pathology, including allergy, asthma and adverse drug reactions. Their strict tissue location has largely impeded the isolation of large numbers of primary mast cell for further analysis. To better understand the biology of mast cells, we analyzed the proteome of primary human and mouse mast cells by quantitative mass spectrometry. We identified a mast cell-specific protein signature that was conserved from mouse to man. Compared to a comprehensive set of other immune cell lineages, proteome analysis identified a unique and distant mast cell cluster. The mast cell signature included proteins governing granule biosynthesis and secretion, as well as proteoglycan- and neurotransmitter metabolism. Proteome conservation across species suggests evolutionary maintenance of mast cell functions.
