Project description:Here, we report that the targeted deletion of Paxbp1 in epidermal keratinocytes mediated by Keratin14-Cre leads to severe disruption in skin architecture. Mice deficient in Paxbp1 exhibited a substantially reduced epidermal thickness and pronounced separation at the dermo-epidermal junction upon birth. Mechanistically, we demonstrate that the absence of Paxbp1 hinders cellular proliferation, marked by a halt in cell cycle transition, suppressed gene expression of proliferation, and a compromised DNA replication pathway in basal keratinocytes, resulting in the thinning of skin epidermis. Moreover, molecules and pathway associated with hemidesmosome assembly were impaired in Paxbp1-deficient keratinocytes, culminating in the detachment of the skin epidermal layer. Therefore, our study highlights an indispensable role of Paxbp1 in the maintenance of epidermal homeostasis.

Project description:Epidermis, a continuously self-renewing and differentiating organ, produces a protective stratum corneum that shields us from external chemical, physical and microbial threats. Epidermal differentiation is a multi-step process regulated by influences, some unknown, others insufficiently explored. Detachment of keratinocytes from the basement membrane is one such pro-differentiation stimulus. Here, we define the transcriptional changes during differentiation, especially those caused by detachment from the substratum. Using comprehensive transcriptional profiling, we revisited the effects of detachment as a differentiation signal to keratinocytes. We identified the genes regulated by detachment, the corresponding ontological categories and, using metaanalysis, compared the genes and categories to those regulated by other pro-differentiating stimuli. We identified 762 genes overexpressed in suspended keratinocyte, including known and novel differentiation markers, and 1427 in attached cells, including basal layer markers. Detachment induced epidermis development, cornification and desmosomal genes, but also innate immunity, proliferation inhibitors, transcription regulators and MAPKs; conversely the attached cells overexpressed cell cycle, anchoring, motility, splicing and mitochondrial genes, and both positive and negative regulators of apoptosis. Metaanalysis identified which detachment-regulated categories overlap with those induced by suprabasal location in vivo, by reaching confluency in vitro, and by inhibition of JUN kinases. Attached and in vivo basal cells shared overexpression of mitochondrial components. Interestingly, melanosome trafficking components were also overexpressed in the attached and in vivo basal keratinocytes. Reaching confluency did not affect adhesion and ECM proteins. Lipid metabolism and steroid metabolism were induced by confluency and by JNK inhibition, respectively. These results suggest that specific pro-differentiation signals induce specific features of the keratinization process, which are in vivo orchestrated into harmonious epidermal homeostasis. Human epidermal keratinocytes are grown in standard growth medium either attached in tissue culture plates, or suspended, in the same medium, in bacteriological plates. After 48 hrs, attached and suspended cultures were harvested and their transcriptomes compared.

Project description:Glut1 is highly expressed in basal cells of keratinocytes, but the functions and regulation of Glut1 has not been explored, here we specifically ablate Glut1 in epidermal keratinocytes to elucidate the role of glucose transport in the skin. We performed microarray analysis in WT and Glut1 deficient primary keratinocytes to determine the pathways might contribute to the impaired proliferation in Glut1 deficient keratinocytes,

Project description:Defects of filaggrin (FLG) compromise epidermal barrier function and represent an important known genetic risk factor for atopic dermatitis (AD), but also for systemic atopy, including allergic sensitization and asthma. A loss of epidermal barrier integrity can provide a significant stress for the keratinocytes in the skin, either due to the increased moisture evaporation from the skin or increased penetration of the antigens and microflora into the lower epidermal layers. To understand the effect of this loss of barrier integrity on keratinocyte function our aim is to analyze the alterations in the transcriptional profile of keratinocytes from Flg-deficient mice.

Project description:To obtain a separation of the epidermal and dermal compartments in order to examine compartment specific biological mechanisms in the skin we incubated 4 mm human skin punch biopsies in ammonium thiocyanate (NH4SCN). We wanted to test 1) the histological quality of the dermo-epidermal separation obtained by different incubation times 2) the amount and quality of extractable epidermal RNA, and 3) its impact on sample RNA expression profiles assessed by large-scale gene expression microarray analysis in both normal and inflamed skin. At 30 minutes incubation, the split between dermis and epidermis was not always histologically well-defined (i.e. occurred partly intra-epidermally) but varied between subjects. Consequently, curettage along the dermal surface of the biopsy was added to the procedure. This modified method resulted in an almost perfect separation of the epidermal and dermal compartments and satisfactory amounts of high-quality RNA were obtained. Hybridization to Affymetrix HG_U133A 2.0 GeneChips showed that ammonium thiocyanate incubation had a minute effect on gene expression resulting in only one significantly downregulated gene (cystatin E/M). We conclude that epidermis can be reproducibly and almost completely separated from the dermis of 4 mm skin biopsies by 30 min incubation in 3.8% ammonium thiocyanate combined with curettage of the dermal surface, producing high-quality RNA suitable for transcriptional analysis. Our refined method of dermo-epidermal separation will undoubtedly prove valuable in the many different settings, where the epidermal and dermal compartments need to be evaluated separately.

Project description:In inflamed tissue, normal signal transduction pathways are altered by extracellular signals. For example, the JNK pathway is activated in psoriatic skin, which makes it an attractive target for treatment. To define comprehensively the JNK-regulated genes in human epidermal keratinocytes, we compared the transcriptional profiles of control and JNK inhibitor-treated keratinocytes, using DNA microarrays. We identified the differentially expressed genes 1, 4, 24, and 48 h after the treatment with SP600125. Surprisingly, the inhibition of JNK in keratinocyte cultures in vitro induces virtually all aspects of epidermal differentiation in vivo: transcription of cornification markers, inhibition of motility, withdrawal from the cell cycle, stratification, and even production of cornified envelopes. The inhibition of JNK also induces the production of enzymes of lipid and steroid metabolism, proteins of the diacylglycerol and inositol phosphate pathways, mitochondrial proteins, histones, and DNA repair enzymes, which have not been associated with differentiation previously. Simultaneously, basal cell markers, including integrins, hemidesmosome and extracellular matrix components, are suppressed. Promoter analysis of regulated genes finds that the binding sites for the forkhead family of transcription factors are over-represented in the SP600125-induced genes and c-Fos sites in the suppressed genes. The JNK-induced proliferation appears to be secondary to inhibition of differentiation. The results indicate that the inhibition of JNK in epidermal keratinocytes is sufficient to initiate their differentiation program and suggest that augmenting JNK activity could be used to delay cornification and enhance wound healing, whereas attenuating it could be a differentiation therapy-based approach for treating psoriasis.

Our refined method of dermo-epidermal separation will undoubtedly prove valuable in the many different settings, where the epidermal and dermal compartments need to be evaluated separately. Upper buttock skin in 4 healthy subjects was exposed to sodium lauryl sulphate, or sampled directly. For each subject, 4 biopsies were obtained: Two from inflamed skin, and two from adjacent normal skin. One irritated and one normal skin sample was placed directly in RNAlater. The remaining two samples were incubated in ammonium thiocyanate for 30 minutes at RT and then placed in RNAlater without performing any separation of the dermal and epidermal layers. This was done to investigate the effect of 30 minutes treatment with ammonium thiocyanate on both inflamed and non-inflamed skin. Data was normalized with quantile method (matrix 1) Forearm biopsies from 13 volunteers were separated to epidermis and dermis by use of ammonium thiocyanate. For comparison of full skin and epidermis without irritation, data from identical probe sets from HG_U133A 2.0 and HG_U133 plus 2.0 was extracted and normalised as one data set using quantile method (matrix 2).

Project description:Toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) is a fatal cutaneous adverse drug reaction and an emerging public health issue 1-3. Triggered by common medications, patients suffer from fulminant epidermal detachment and long-term sequalae. Although molecular mechanisms driving keratinocyte cytotoxicity have been reported, no effective therapy exists4-6. In recent years, powerful omics technologies have expanded into spatial context and we reasoned that single cell spatial proteomics could uncover novel therapeutic targets in TEN. Applying Deep Visual Proteomics7,8 to formalin fixed paraffin embedded archived skin-tissue biopsies of three types of cutaneous drug reactions with varying severity quantified over 5,000 proteins in keratinocytes and skin-infiltrating immune cells. Most strikingly, this revealed a robust enrichment of Type-I- and -II interferon signature in the immune cell and keratinocyte compartment of TEN patients, along with a drastic activation of pSTAT1. Targeted inhibition with pan-JAK inhibitor (JAKi) Tofacitinib reduced keratinocyte-directed cytotoxicity in a novel live-cell imaging assay, using patient-derived keratinocytes and PBMCs. Furthermore, oral administration of pan-JAKi Tofacitinib or Baricitinib ameliorated clinical and histological disease severity in two distinct mouse models of TEN. This study uncovers the JAK-STAT and interferon signaling pathways as key pathogenic drivers of TEN and demonstrates the potential of targeted JAK inhibition as a curative therapy.

Project description:CD109 is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored glycoprotein that is highly expressed in several types of human cancers, particularly squamous cell carcinomas. We previously reported that CD109-deficient mice exhibit epidermal hyperplasia and chronic skin inflammation. Although we found that CD109 regulates differentiation of keratinocytes in vivo, the function of CD109 in tumorigenesis remains unknown. In this study, we investigated the role of CD109 in skin tumorigenesis using a two-stage carcinogenesis model in CD109-deficient mice with chronic skin inflammation.
