Glucosylceramide fed mice skin before SDS treatment (0d), after SDS treatment (2d)

ABSTRACT: Dietary glucosylceramide (GC) improves skin barrier function. To elucidate the molecular mechanisms involved, we used a microarray system to analyze mRNA expression in SDS-treated dorsal skin of hairless mouse. Transepidermal water loss of mouse skin was increased by SDS treatment and the increase was significantly reduced by prior oral administration of glucosylceramides. Microarray-evaluated mRNA expression ratios showed statistically significant increase of expression of genes related to cornified envelope and tight junction formation versus all genes in glucosylceramide-fed/SDS-treated mouse skin. We then examined the contribution of glucosylceramide metabolites to tight junction formation of cultured keratinocytes. SDS treatment of cultured keratinocytes significantly decreased the transepidermal electrical resistance, and the decrease was significantly ameliorated in the presence of sphingosine or phytosphingosine, the major metabolites of glucosylceramide. These results suggest that oral administration of glucosylceramide improves skin barrier function by upregulating genes associated with both cornified envelope and tight junction formation.

Expression data from normal human epidermal keratinocytes undergoing density-induced differentiation and treated with EGF

Project description:Combining genome-wide microarray and functional analyses, we found that EGFR activation abrogates barrier function, increasing transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and transepithelial permeability of water-soluble ions and higher molecular weight dextrans, in part by disrupting the expression of tight junction proteins. EGF decreases certain lipid matrix free fatty acids and ceramides by its actions to repress the expression of specific biosynthetic enzymes. Activation of EGFR inhibits cornified envelope formation by regulating the expression of 59 percent of the known contributing genes. EGF-responsiveness enriches more than 100 genes known to be associated with skin diseases. These data are used to obtain 2,676 density-dependent genes that are differentially expressed in response to EGF treatment. The 16 microarrays were preprocessed using the 5th percentile of region method in dChip. Genes with at least a 1.5 fold difference between the untrated samples at 50% and 100% confluent cell density were exported for further analysis. Two-way ANOVA was used to identify differentially expressed genes by either density or treatment factors using JMP Genomics 4.1 (SAS). Multiple hypothesis testing was corrected by Benjamini-Hochberg false discovery rate control at the 0.05 level. Pair-wise comparisons were performed using the TukeyM-bM-^@M-^Ys Honestly Significant Difference test.

Transcription profiling of human epidermal keratinocytes treated with IFN-gamma reveals IFN-gamma suppressed the expression of over 100 genes responsible for cell cycle, DNA replication and RNA metabolism.

Project description:Cultured epidermal keratinocyte controls used for IFNg, TNFa and IL1 treatment. Interferon (IFN)-gamma, is a multifunctional, immunomodulatory cytokine with cell type-specific antiviral activities, particularly important in skin, where it is implicated in many diseases ranging from warts to psoriasis and cancer. Since epidermis is our first line of defence against many viruses, we investigated the molecular processes regulated by IFN-gamma in keratinocytes using DNA microarrays. We identified the IFN-gamma-regulated keratinocyte-specific genes in keratinocytes, IFN-gamma-induced tight junction proteins, presumably to deny viruses paracellular routes of infection. Furthermore, differing from published data, we find that IFN-gamma suppressed the expression of keratinocytes differentiation markers including desmosomal proteins, cornified envelope components and suprabasal cytokeratins. Inhibition of differentiation may interfere with the epidermal tropism of viruses that require differentiating cells for growth, for example, papillomaviruses. As in other cell types, IFN-gamma induced HLA, cell adhesion and proteasome proteins, facilitating leukocyte attraction and antigen-presentation by keratinocytes. IFN-gamma also induced chemokine/cytokines specific for mononuclear cells. IFN-gamma suppressed the expression of over 100 genes responsible for cell cycle, DNA replication and RNA metabolism, thereby shutting down many nuclear processes and denying viruses a healthy cell in which to replicate. Thus, uniquely in keratinocytes, IFN-gamma initiates a well-organized molecular programme boosting host antiviral defences, obstructing viral entry, suppressing cell proliferation and impeding differentiation.

The Amino-Terminal Part of Human Filaggrin-2 is a Component of Cornified Envelopes

Project description:Filaggrin-2 (FLG2), a member of the S100-fused type protein family, is a 250 kDa protein mainly expressed in differentiated keratinocytes of the epidermis (Wu et al., 2009; Hsu et al., 2011). Its expression is reduced in atopic dermatitis (Pellerin et al., 2013), and heterozygous non-sense mutations of its gene are associated with a more persistent form of the disease in Afro-American populations (Margolis et al., 2014). Homozygous mutations of its gene are responsible for a rare skin disease called peeling skin syndrome type A (Bolling et al., 2018; Mohamad et al., 2018). However, the exact role of FLG2, a multi-domain protein, is not well known. Its COOH-tail exhibits anti-microbial activity (Hansmann et al., 2015), whereas its B domain is suspected to be involved in the hydration of the upper part of the epidermis, the cornified layer. Here, on the basis of immunological, global proteomics and in vitro enzymatic analysis we demonstrated that its amino-terminal domain is cross-linked to the cornified envelope, a pericellular resistant structure that replaces the plasma membrane during the last step of keratinocyte differentiation. In addition, depletion of FLG2 in reconstructed 3D human epidermis induced a marked fragility of cornified envelopes. These data suggest that FLG2 is important for proper mechanical strength of the cornified layer. They may explain the epidermal fragility observed in peeling skin syndrome type A patients.

Early-onset pediatric atopic dermatitis is characterized by Th2/Th17/Th22- centered inflammation and lipid alterations

Project description:Background: While atopic dermatitis (AD) often starts in early childhood, detailed tissue profiling of early-onset AD in children is lacking, hindering therapeutic development for this patient population with a particularly high unmet need of better treatments. Objective: We sought to globally profile the skin of infants with AD compared to adults with AD and healthy controls. Methods: We performed microarray, RT-PCR and fluorescence microscopy studies in infants and young children (<5yo) with early-onset AD (<6mo) compared to age-matched controls and adults with longstanding AD. Results: Transcriptomic analyses revealed profound differences between early-onset pediatric vs. longstanding adult AD, not only in lesional but also non-lesional tissues. While both patient populations harbored Th2-centered inflammation, pediatric AD also showed significant Th17-skewing, but lacked the Th1 upregulation that characterizes adult AD. Defects in lipid barrier (e.g. ELOVL3, DGAT2) and tight junction regulation (e.g. Claudins 8 and 23) were evident in both groups but, unlike adult AD which showed the classic downregulation of epidermal differentiation and cornification products, pediatric AD exhibited relatively normal expression of these genes. Some lipid-associated mediators (such as FAR2 and FA2H) even showed preferential downregulation in pediatric AD, and lipid barrier genes (FA2H, DGAT2) showed inverse correlations with transepidermal water loss/TEWL, a functional measure of the epidermal barrier. Conclusions: Children and adult AD skin samples share lipid metabolism and tight junction alterations, but epidermal differentiation complex defects are only present in adult AD, potentially resulting from chronic immune aberration that is not yet present in early-onset disease.

Repeated social defeat stress (R-SDS)-induced changes in gene expression profiles in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC)

Project description:To identify R-SDS-induced changes in gene expression profiles in the mPFC, we performed transcriptome analysis in the mPFC without or with R-SDS. We separately analyzed the data from susceptible mice, which showed social avoidance after R-SDS, and resilient mice, which did not, in addition to those from naïve mice.

The effect of engineered del(7q) on induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) derived from patients with Shwachman Diamond Syndrome (SDS).

Project description:Monosomy 7 or deletion of 7q (del(7q)) frequently arise in inherited and acquired bone marrow failure, and are associated with progression to high grade Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) and acute leukemia. Current non-transplant approaches to treat marrow failure may be complicated by potential stimulation of clonal outgrowth. To study the biological consequences of del(7q) within the context of a failing marrow, we utilized induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) derived from patients with Shwachman Diamond Syndrome (SDS) and genomically engineered a deletion of (7q). Deletion of 7q failed to confer a relative fitness advantage in either pluripotent SDS iPSC or in iPSC-derived SDS CD34+ cells. The TGF-beta pathway was the top differentially regulated pathway in transcriptome analysis with the TGF pathway found activated in SDS-iPSCs, compared to SDS-del(7q) iPSCs. Increased phosphorylation of SMAD2 in SDS-iPSCs was reduced following del(7q) and increased upon restoration of 7q diploidy, in support of an effect of 7q dosage on the activation status of the TGF-beta pathway in SDS. Inhibition of the TGF-beta pathway rescued hematopoiesis in SDS-iPSCs and in primary bone marrow cells from SDS patients without improving hematopoiesis of the SDS-del(7q) cells. Together, these results utilizing an iPSC model of MDS in BMF identified a targetable vulnerability for potential therapeutic strategies to ameliorate bone marrow failure without promoting outgrowth of the del7q clone.

Fatty acid transport protein 4 is required for incorporation of saturated ultralong-chain fatty acids into epidermal ceramides and monoacylglycerols

Project description:Fatty acid transport protein 4 (FATP4) is an acyl-CoA synthetase that is required for normal permeability barrier in mammalian skin. FATP4 (SLC27A4) mutations cause ichthyosis prematurity syndrome, a nonlethal disorder. In contrast, Fatp4-/- mice die neonatally from a defective barrier. Here we used electron microscopy and lipidomics to characterize defects in Fatp4-/- mice. Mutants showed lamellar body, corneocyte lipid envelope, and cornified envelope abnormalities. Lipidomics identified two lipids previously speculated to be present in mouse epidermis, sphingosine β-hydroxyceramide and monoacylglycerol; mutants displayed decreased proportions of these and the two ceramide classes that carry ultralong-chain, amide-linked fatty acids (FAs) thought to be critical for barrier function, unbound ω-O-acylceramide and bound ω-hydroxyceramide, the latter constituting the major component of the corneocyte lipid envelope. Other abnormalities included elevated amounts of sphingosine α-hydroxyceramide, phytosphingosine non-hydroxyceramide, and 1-O-acylceramide. Acyl chain length alterations in ceramides also suggested roles for FATP4 in esterifying saturated non-hydroxy and β-hydroxy FAs with at least 25 carbons and saturated or unsaturated ω-hydroxy FAs with at least 30 carbons to CoA. Our lipidomic analysis is the most thorough such study of the Fatp4-/- mouse skin barrier to date, providing information about how FATP4 can contribute to barrier function by regulating fatty acyl moieties in various barrier lipids.
