Single cell RNA sequencing analysis of the center, edge and non-wounded regions of healing skin on day 11 post-wounding in wild type mice

ABSTRACT: We applied single-cell RNA sequencing to investigate specific type of cell populations and their gene expressions on the day of wound closure (post-wounding day 11-12) at the center and edge of the re-epithelialized mouse wound site (1 cm² of whole skin was removed, with samples pooled from 10 mice). Skin samples from non-wounded area were collected as control.

Project description:Dendritic epidermal T cells (DETC) reside in murine skin and participate in homeostasis and wound repair. Upon wounding, DETC become activated through the recognition of an unidentified ligand expressed by keratinocytes proximal to sites of injury. Such DETC activation is mediated through a monoclonal T cell receptor (TCR). Using a soluble form of this monoclonal TCR, we have shown that keratinocytes upregulate DETC TCR ligands in wounded tissue within 2 hours following wounding. Down-modulation of the ligand is seen 3 hours following wounding, and no expression is evident in non-wounded skin. In vitro studies on cell lines which express this unknown ligand indicate that antigen recognition by the DETC TCR is dependent upon N-linked glycosylation of the ligand. Given the glycosylation sensitivity of the ligand and the restricted expression following wounding, we are interested in pursuing microarray analysis to identify genes that are modulated in keratinocytes in response to wounding. Keratinocytes represent 90% of the cells in the epidermis (DETC and Langerhan’s cells make up the remaining 10%). As such, we propose to isolate RNA from whole epidermis under either wounded or resting conditions. In addition to comparing RNA from wounded and non-wounded epidermis, we would like to compare RNA from tissue that has been wounded for different times. Initially, we would like to analyze 4 sampes (non-wounded epidermis, and epidermal cells isolated 30 minutes, 2 hours, and 4 hours following wounding). These time points would correlate to a period prior to cell surface expression of ligand (30 minutes), during cell surface expression (2 hours), and following down regulation of cell surface expression (4 hours). In addition to providing possible identification of the unknown DETC TCR ligand, such analysis would provide novel information about early responses by keratinocytes in response to physical wounding in vivo. We propose to isolate RNA from whole epidermis under either wounded or resting conditions. In addition to comparing RNA from wounded and non-wounded epidermis, we would like to compare RNA from tissues that has been wounded for different times.
