Identification of unique mesenchymal subpopulations for regenerating follicular and interfollicular epithelia after devastating necrosis in the skin graft

ABSTRACT: We investigated chronological changes of the skin graft in mice for 15 days at single cell-transcriptomic levels. We found devastating necrotic changes in the dermal and epidermal tissues at post-operated day 3, (POD3), followed by significant regeneration processes of the follicular and interfollicular tissues after POD 6. Dermal papilla cells in the necrotic milieu exserted significant activation of Wnt signaling pathway and Sox2 and Fgf7 expressions, all of those are critical for follicular development in the fetal skin. We further identified a unique mesenchymal subpopulation, which expressed keratinocyte-specific genes, such as Krt5 and Epcam, as well as Irf6, a transcriptional factor to induce mesenchymal to epithelial transition (MET). Our data revealed significant contribution of the unique mesenchymal cell populations for the follicular and interfollicular epithelial regeneration after severe necrosis in the skin graft.

Transcriptional signature for dysplastic epidermal development in human pre-malignant skin

Project description:Actinic keratosis (AK) is a prolific precancerous skin lesion, which occurs in susceptible individuals due to chronic ultraviolet radiation exposure, with a propensity to develop into malignant squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). The histopathologic features of AKs include a dysplastic epithelium that is frequently, but not always, spatially limited to the interfollicular epithelium. However, the upper follicular epithelium, although equally susceptible to ultraviolet radiation (UVR) exposure, is commonly spared of dysplasia. To address these issues, our approach sought to leverage this phenomenon by profiling UVR-susceptible (interfollicular) versus -refractory (follicular) epithelium using spatial transcriptomic analysis of AK tissue sections. Unsupervised clustering analysis segregated transcriptionally distinct regions of epithelium in AK lesions that spatially overlapped with either normal follicular or dysplastic interfollicular regions and identified a total of 193 dysregulated genes in dysplastic interfollicular epidermal clusters that were conserved across multiple AKs. Next, CellChat analysis identified highly enriched cell-cell communication pathways primarily between dermal and dysplastic epidermal clusters, suggesting that perturbations in dermal-epidermal communication may be early drivers of epidermal dysplasia. Collectively, our findings elaborate a first-of-its-kind transcriptional signature for early dysplastic epidermal development in human pre-malignant skin and provide much needed insight into the longstanding clinical observation of susceptible (interfollicular) versus refractory (follicular) epithelium to ultraviolet radiation-induced dysplasia.

Expression data from human keratinocytes after scratch wounds in vitro

Project description:In skin homeostasis, dermal fibroblasts are responsible for coordinating the migration and differentiation of overlying epithelial keratinocytes. As hairy skin heals faster than non-hairy skin, we hypothesised that follicular fibroblasts would accelerate skin re-epithelialisation after injury faster than interfollicular fibroblasts. We found that hair follicle dermal papilla fibroblast conditioned media (DPFi CM) could significantly accelerate wound closure compared to controls partly due to the presence of sAXL in this media. We used microarrays to identify upregulated and downregulated genes in human epidermal keratinocytes incubated with sAXL, DPFi CM and Epilife (keratinocyte growth media;control) after scratch wounds in vitro.

RNA-Seq of human fetal and adult scalp hair follicle dermal papilla (DP), dermal sheath cup (DSC), and interfollicular dermal (IFD) cells

Project description:Much is still unknown about the molecular regulatory networks which govern the dermal papilla’s (DP) ability to induce hair follicle regeneration, a capacity which gradually decreases with age. DP and dermal sheath cup (DSC) cells from mature, anagen phase, hair follicles were manually microdissected from fresh frozen sections of 16-18 week human fetal scalp and 30-60 year old adult male scalp. Interfollicular dermal (IFD) fibroblasts were harvested for comparison. RNA-seq libraries from each cell population were prepared with Nugen’s Ovation RNA-Seq and Ultralow Library systems, sequenced to approximately 100 million total reads. A set of 121 genes was identified as significantly upregulated in fetal DP cells, as compared to both fetal DSC and IFD populations. Wnt/β-catenin, Shh, FGF, BMP, and Notch signaling pathways were significantly enriched among those genes differentially expressed between fetal and adult DP cells. Among them, Spondin-1, a Wnt agonist, was chosen for verification and can rescue hair follicle regeneration in skin reconstitution assays using cells from adult mice. Additionally, twenty-nine transcription factors were significantly upregulated in fetal DP compared to adult DP cells. Of those, seven transcription factor binding motifs were significantly enriched in the candidate promoter regions of differentially expressed genes between fetal and adult DP cells, suggesting a combinatorial regulatory role in the fetal DP phenotype. Further investigation into these regulators is warranted to determine if these proteins and/or associated pathways plays a role in the maintenance or modulation of DP cells to induce hair regeneration.

Keratinocyte Wnt5β promotes dermal adipogenesis by simultaneously regulating adipocyte precursor cell conversion and adipogenic signaling

Project description:Skin is the largest organ in the body and comprises several types of cells. The intercellular plasticity of keratinocytes, fibroblasts, and skin adipocytes contributes to wound healing and dermal adipogenesis. Although keratinocyte activates dermal adipose tissue (dWAT) differentiation upon hair follicular cycle, regulating dWAT hyperplasia through keratinocyte reprogramming is still unknown. We used the CRISPR/Cas9 base editor to induce single nucleotide polymorphisms in Forkhead-box N1 (Foxn1) and identified the p.L19M variant that induced the formation of a thicker dWAT regardless of hair follicular cycle or wound healing. Foxn1 p.L19M activates Wnt5β through transcriptional activity. Wnt5β signaling induces the conversion of dWAT dermal fibroblasts into adipose precursor cells (APCs) and promotes APC adipocyte differentiation through keratinocyte epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and adipogenic signaling. Wnt5β is involved in the entire process of dWAT hyperplasia through APC supply and adipogenic signaling as a single factor. Foxn1 p.L19M and Wnt5β are expressed in keratinocytes, and a keratinocyte-derived adipogenic signal is critical for dermal adipogenesis. In addition, transient expression of Foxn1 p.L19M or Wnt5β using adeno-associated virus reproduced dermal adipocyte hyperplasia in mice. Considering the increasing importance of dWAT in functions such as the immune response, wound healing, hair follicle growth, and temperature control, this finding has potential applications in skin regeneration

Troy/Tnfrsf19 marks epidermal cells that govern interfollicular epidermal renewal and cornification

Project description:The skin epidermis is a highly compartmentalised tissue consisting of a cornifying epithelium called the interfollicular epidermis (IFE) and associated hair follicles (HFs). Several stem cell populations have been described that mark specific sub compartments in the skin but none of them is IFE-specific. Here we identify Troy as a marker of IFE and HF infundibulum basal layer cells in embryonic and adult human and mouse epidermis. Genetic lineage-tracing experiments demonstrate that Troy-expressing basal cells contribute to long-term renewal of all layers of the cornifying epithelium. Single-cell transcriptomics and organoid assays of Troy-expressing cells as well as their progeny confirmed stem cell identity as well as the ability to generate differentiating daughter cells. In conclusion, we define Troy as a marker of epidermal basal cells that govern interfollicular epidermal renewal and cornification.

Hair Follicle Epithelial Stem Cells Contributing to Interfollicular Epidermis during Homeostasis

Project description:The mammalian skin is a crucial barrier, with the epidermis as its protective, renewing outer layer. Loss of epidermal function is lethal, so multiple stem cell populations likely support the interfollicular epidermis (IFE) for survival. We show that KROX20 marks a diverse stem cell population in the upper and middle mouse hair follicle (HF), partially overlapping with known HF stem cells. Lineage tracing reveals that Krox20-lineage cells migrate from the HF to the IFE, contributing to both basal and suprabasal layers. Spatial transcriptomics analysis of the skin was used to confirm this migration.

Paracrine TGFß Signaling Counterbalances BMP-Mediated Repression in Hair Follicle Stem Cell Activation

Project description:Hair follicle (HF) regeneration begins when communication between quiescent epithelial stem cells (SCs) and underlying mesenchymal dermal papillae (DP) generates sufficient activating cues to overcome repressive BMP signals from surrounding niche cells. We uncovered a hitherto unrecognized DP transmitter, TGFβ2, which activates Smad2/3 transiently in HFSCs concomitant with entry into tissue regeneration. We used microarrays to detect the genes specifically affected by TGFß receptor II-deficient mice upon HFSC activation. Hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs) of hair gem (HG) and bulge, and total skin keratinocytes were FACS-purified from the mouse back skin at 2nd telogen-to-anagen transition stages.

Establishment of adult epidermal organoid cultures from canine hair follicles and interfollicular epidermis

Project description:The epidermis and associated appendages ensure a number of critical functions necessary for survival and social interactions. Perturbations of epidermal stem cell homeostasis lead to a variety of skin diseases affecting humans and dogs. Therefore, the establishment of an in vitro system to investigate canine epidermal stem cells, representing a model for human diseases, is essential. Here we report the establishment and characterization of organoids derived from microdissected canine hair follicles (HFs) and interfollicular epidermal (IFE). Gene and protein expression analysis revealed high mRNA and protein levels of keratin 5 and 14, IFE differentiation markers and intercellular molecules (e.g., keratin 10 and desmoglein), indicating a strong basal cell signature as well as differentiation towards mature epidermis. Key markers of HF stem cells were lacking. This suggests that, independently of the tissue of origin, both organoid lines develop into the same cell type (basal IFE-like keratinocytes). Signaling pathways members important for regulation of HF growth and cycling (such as Wnt, Hh, BMP and Notch) were present in both HF and IFE organoids at low levels. Withdrawal of growth factors (Noggin, R-spondin and FGFs) resulted in upregulation of markers such as KRT16, IVL, KRT17 and SOX9, showing the potential of the organoids to develop towards more differentiated tissue. However, for induction of HF signatures or hair growth, addition of different growth factors or dermal papilla co-culture might be required. Taken together, our in vitro culture system can provide the basis to address hair growth and explore epidermal function/regeneration, allowing us to further investigate pathomechanisms of cutaneous disorders in dogs and potentially human patients.
