Epidermal differentiation: basal vs. suprabasal keratinocytes

ABSTRACT: In epidermal differentiation basal keratinocytes detach from the basement membrane, stop proliferating, and express a new set of structural proteins and enzymes, which results in an impermeable protein/lipid barrier that protects us. To define the transcriptional changes essential for this process, we purified large quantities of basal and suprabasal cells from human epidermis, using the expression of b4 integrin as the discriminating factor. The expected expression differences in cytoskeletal, cell cycle and adhesion genes confirmed the effective separation of the cell populations. Using DNA microarray chips, we comprehensively identify the differences in genes expressed in basal and differentiating layers of the epidermis, including the ECM components produced by the basal cells, the proteases in both the basal and suprabasal cells, and the lipid and steroid metabolism enzymes in suprabasal cells responsible for the permeability barrier. We identified the signaling pathways specific for the two populations, and found two previously unknown paracrine and one juxtacrine signaling pathway operating between the basal and suprabasal cells. Furthermore, using specific expression signatures, we identified a new set of late differentiation markers and mapped their chromosomal loci, as well as a new set of melanocyte-specific markers. The data represent a quantum jump in understanding the mechanisms of epidermal differentiation. Basal keratinocytes are defined as integrin b4-positive. Suprabasal sample contains all melanocytes as well.

Mechanical Regulation of Stem Cell Proliferation and Fate Decisions by their Differentiated Daughters

Project description:RNAseq analysis of suprabasal cells in the epidermis of control and K10rtTA;TRESpastin (which depolymerize microtubules) at E16.5 were performed. We observed the premature differentiation of the barrier and increased actomyosin contractility in suprabasal differentiated cells upon microtubule disruption compared to control, and proved the increased actomyosin contractility caused by microtubule depolymerization leads to basal stem cell hyperproliferation during epidermal development.

Grhl3 is essential for epidermal barrier repair from both physical and immune injury, relevance to lesional skin disease

Project description:Epidermal barrier repair mechanisms activated in psoriasis lesions are likely involved in limiting the severity of this disease. We show that loss of grainyhead-like 3 (Grhl3), a pro-terminal differentiation factor in the epidermis, is sufficient to trigger greater sensitivity to and delayed resolution of epidermal lesions resulting from either physical or immune mediated barrier injury. After stimulation of Toll like receptors, the loss of Grhl3 resulted in increased epidermal damage with a striking increase in basal cell proliferation, hyperplasia of partially differentiated suprabasal layers, and a transcriptional profile highlighted by the overexpression of epidermal wound response and alarmin genes. This study reveals an important role for the epidermis in the initiation and recovery from immune-mediated lesions, and indicated that the epidermal regulator Grhl3 acts to both suppress disease initiation and resolve existing lesions. This work suggests that treatments focused on improving barrier function could be used preventatively and therapeutically in psoriasis. Whole skin was collected from E16.5 mouse backskins for Grhl3 ChIP. Adult epidermis for depilation and imiquimod experiments was seperated from dermis using dispase prior to Grhl3 ChIP.

Genome-wide analysis of gene expression in Krt1+/+ versus Krt1-/- epidermis and full-thickness skin.

Project description:Keratin 1 (KRT1) and its heterodimer partner keratin 10 (KRT10) constitute the intermediate filament cytoskeleton of suprabasal skin keratinocytes. They participate in formation of the epidermal barrier, which protects against dehydration and inflammation. Mutations in KRT1 cause keratinopathic ichthyosis with erythema, recurrent inflammation, and barrier defects. Here, we show that genetic deletion of Krt1 in mice causes a defective inside-out epidermal barrier, pre- and postnatal increases in Mrp8/Mrp14, interleukin (IL) 18, IL-33, and thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) in skin extracts, and systemic release of IL-18 into newborn serum. Perinatal lethality was partially rescued by treatment with glucocorticoids to promote barrier repair or with IL- 18-blocking antibodies in utero. In human keratinocytes, IL-18 release was cellautonomous and caspase-1-dependent, indicating KRT1-dependent inflammasome activation. Our data reveal a novl function of KRT1 in controlling inflammasome activity and stimulating barrier formation, thereby integrating the keratin cytoskeleton into the epidermal immune response. In view of their widespread expression, keratins merit investigation of their functions in inflammatory conditions, including asthma and inflammatory bowel disorders. Total RNA was obtained from epidermis or full-thickness skin of Krt1+/+ and Krt1-/- mice (C57BL/6 background) at P0 (newborn).

Proteomic analysis of small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) derived from primary keratinocytes cultured in different calcium concentrations, treated with a peanut allergen extract and atopic dermatitis (AD)-relevant cytokines

Project description:Epidermal keratinocytes are key for maintenance of the integrity of the epidermis. One of the main drivers of keratinocyte differentiation is the calcium gradient; calcium concentration gradually increases towards the outer layers of the epidermis. Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a disorder associated with a chronic inflammatory state and a compromised epidermal barrier. Keratinocytes secrete lipid-rich small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) that acts as mediators of both local and long-distance signaling.

Key roles for SRF in embryonic epidermal differentiation

Project description:During development, a polarized sheet of epidermal cells undergoes stratification and differentiation to produce the skin barrier. Through mechanisms poorly understood, the process involves adhesion and Notch signaling. To elucidate how epidermal embryogenesis is governed, we conditionally targeted transcription factor serum response factor (SRF), which has been shown to be essential for proper epidermal differentiation in vitro and in vivo. Seeking mechanism, we identified actomyosin-related genes as well-known SRF targets downregulated shortly after ablation. We show that this results in a diminished cortical actomyosin network which fails to regulate the transition of cells from the basal proliferative layer to the suprabasal differentiating layer resulting in an inability of cells to properly execute stratification and differentiation. FACS purification of basal epidermal cells from E16.5 SRF fl/fl ROSA26 YFP fl/fl K14-Cre (cKO) or SRF fl/+ ROSA26 YFP fl/fl K14-Cre (WT) was performed on a FACS Vantage SE system equipped with FACS DiVa software (BD Biosciences). Cells were gated for single events and viability and then sorted according to α6 integrin-PE expression and YFP.

Transcription profiling of mouse epidermal cells sorted into three populations based on alpha 6 integrin, CD34 or Sca-1 surface marker expression

Project description:Epidermal keratinocytes were isolated from adult murine skin and FACS sorted into three populations based on their surface maker expression of alpha 6 integrin, CD34 and Sca-1. <br>- Alpha 6 positive cells constitute the entire population of basal or proliferative keratinocytes from the interfollicular epidermis and hair follicle. Both BIB and Bulge cells are contained within the total population of alpha 6 positive cells. <br>- BIB cells reside in the hair follicle in a region between the infundibulum and bulge and these cells are characterized by low alpha 6 integrin surface levels and are negative for CD34 and Sca-1 surface proteins. <br>- Bulge cells are derived from the bulge region of the hair follicle and are characterized by low + high alpha 6 integrin surface levels and are positive for CD34 but negative for Sca-1.
