Single-cell gene expression analysis of ulcerated skin in Has2 transgenic and wild-type mice with scratching-induced ulcerative derm

ABSTRACT: Ulcerative dermatitis (UD) in mice is an idiopathic skin disease characterized by intense pruritus, hair loss, self-inflicted lesions, and progression to ulceration. UD serves as a model for chronic skin inflammation and non-healing wounds in humans, as it shares key pathological features with these conditions. C57BL/6 mice are particularly susceptible to UD, making this strain a valuable model for studying the mechanisms underlying skin injury and inflammation. In previous studies, Has2 transgenic mice exhibited a higher incidence of UD compared with wild-type controls, implicating elevated hyaluronan synthesis in disease susceptibility. To investigate the cellular and molecular mechanisms, we induced scratching-triggered UD in Has2 overexpressing (Has2OE) and wild-type mice (n = 4 per group) and performed single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) on lesional skin to compare cell-type composition and gene expression changes.

Gene signature profiles in lung tisses of wild type mice or Has2 heterozygous deficient mice stimulated with ovalbumin

Project description:Background: HAS2 is a member of the gene family encoding hyaluronan synthase 2 (HAS2) which can generate high molecular weight hyaluronan (HMW-HA). Although we previously reported that HAS2 is a novel candidate gene for susceptibility to adult asthma., little is known about whether HAS2 dysfunction affect eosinophilic airway inflammation. Objective: We therefore hypothesized that attenuation of HAS2 will enhance eosinophilic airway inflammation. Methods: C57BL/6 wild type (WT) mice, Has2 heterozygous deficient (Has2+/−) mice were used in eosinophilic airway inflammation model which induced by ovalbumin (OVA). Quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was performed to detect Has2 and HA binding protein mRNA expression levels. Lung tissue and lavage fluid (BALF) were analyzed for inflammation and various cytokines and chemokines. Airway resistance was measured using forced oscillation technique. gene expression analyses were also performed to elucidate further pathogenesis. Results: The expression levels of Has2 mRNA was significantly decreased in OVA stimulated Has2+/− (Has2+/−-OVA) mice. Has2+/−-OVA mice also displayed significant reduce of CD44, and TGF-beta1 mRNA expression. BALF eosinophil number, levels of various Th2 cytokines and chemokines in BALF, and airway responsiveness were significantly increased in Has2+/−-OVA mice compared with similarly treated WT mice. ILK Signaling and PKA signaling were downregulated significantly more in Has2+/−-OVA mice compared with similarly treated WT mice. Conclusions: Has2 dysfunction induce more intense allergic eosinophilic airway inflammation and increase of airway hyper responsiveness with impairment of HAS2-CD44-TGF-beta signaling. Modulating HAS2 signaling might provide novel therapeutic targets for intractable bronchial asthma patients.

Gene signature profiles in lung tissues of wild type mice or Has2 heterozygous deficient mice stimulated chronically with ovalbumin

Project description:Background: HAS2 is a member of the gene family encoding hyaluronan synthase 2 (HAS2), which can generate high-molecular-weight hyaluronan (HMW-HA). Our previous study identified HAS2 as a candidate gene for susceptibility to adult asthma. However, little is known if HAS2 dysfunction affects airway remodeling and steroid insensivity. In this study, we clarified the dysfunction of Has2 triggering severe airway remodeling and steroid insensitivity in a murine model of asthma. Methods: Ovalbumin (OVA) was used to induce eosinophilic airway inflammation and airway remodeling in Has2 heterozygous deficient (Has2+/−) mice and their wild-type (WT) littermates. Lung tissue histology, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid cell counting, quantitative PCR, HA size analysis, multiplex cytokines and chemokines analysis, RNA sequencing, anti IL-17 neutralization experiment were performed. Results: After chronic OVA stimulation, Has2+/− (Has2+/--OVA) mice showed significant decrease of Has2 mRNA expression levels, HMW-HA, HA-binding protein, and TGF-β. Has2+/--OVA mice demonstrated increased eosinophilic airway inflammation, goblet cell hyperplasia, and IL-17 levels. RNA sequencing demonstrated downregulation of EIF2 signaling pathways, TGF-β signaling pathways, and heat shock proteins with Th17 bias in Has2+/--OVA mice. Combined treatment with anti IL-17 antibody and dexamethasone reduce steroid insensitivity in Has2+/--OVA mice Conclusions: Has2 attenuation worsen eosinophilic airway inflammation, airway remodeling, and steroid insensitivity. This severe intractable phenotype might be induced by impairment of TGF-β signaling and ER stress response related signaling. These data highlight that HAS2 and HMW-HA are important for controlling intractable eosinophilic airway inflammation and remodeling, and could potentially be exploited for therapeutic benefit to asthma patients.

Gene signature profiles in lung tissues of wild type mice or Has2 heterozygous deficient mice stimulated with porcine pancreatic elastase

Project description:Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is an inflammatory lung condition primarily caused by prolonged exposure to harmful substances, such as cigarette smoke. Hyaluronic acid synthase 2 (HAS2) synthesizes high-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid (HMW-HA), believed to have anti-inflammatory properties. Previous studies have suggested that HAS2 dysfunction may exacerbate COPD. However, the specific impact of HAS2 on pulmonary emphysema progression remains unclear. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that HAS2 dysfunction worsens airway inflammation and emphysema in mouse COPD model. Has2 heterozygous-deficient (Has2+/-) mice and their wild-type (WT) littermates have been evaluated in a porcine pancreatic elastase (PPE)-induced COPD model. Following PPE administration, Has2+/- mice exhibited a significant increase in total cell and neutrophil counts in BALF samples compared to WT mice. Has2+/- mice demonstrated enhanced emphysema development on histological analyses, with higher values of mean linear intercept relative to wild-type mice. Elastase-stimulated Has2+/- mice also demonstrated increased G-CSF level and TGF-β attenuation in lung. RNA-seq analysis suggested that PPE stimulation promotes HMW-HA synthesis and TGF-β signaling. GO analysis using Has2+/- mice-specific DEGs showed that genes associated with pathways that "negative regulation of transforming growth factor beta receptor signaling pathway" were activated after PPE administration. This study demonstrates that Has2 dysfunction exacerbates neutrophilic airway inflammation and emphysema, underscoring the protective role of HAS2 in a PPE induced emphysema model. The exacerbated response appears to involve G-CSF and TGF-β-related signaling pathways. These findings may contribute to the development of novel therapeutic strategies for COPD management.

Genome-wide binding profile of the AhR transcription factor in keratinocytes

Project description:Atopic dermatitis is increasing worldwide, correlating with air pollutions. Various organic components of pollutants activate transcription factor AhR (aryl-hydrocarbon receptor). We have established AhR-CA mice, whose keratinocytes express constitutive-active AhR, and these mice developed atopic dermatitis-like frequent scratching and allergic inflammation. In this study we performed ChIP-seq analyses and identified keratinocyte-specific AhR target genes, including inflammatory cytokines Tslp and IL33, and neurotrophic factor Artemin. While AhR-CA mice exhibited epidermal hyperinnervation and alloknesis leading to hypersensitivity to pruritus, blockade of Artemin alleviated these phenotypes. AhR-CA mice showed scratching-induced barrier insufficiency and enhanced sensitization to epicutaneously-applied antigens, recapitulating human atopic dermatitis. Consistently, AhR activation and Artemin expression was detected in the epidermis of atopic dermatitis patients and keratinocytes exposed to air pollutants. Thus, AhR in keratinocytes senses the environmental stimuli and responds to them through moderating inflammation. We propose a mechanism in which air pollution induces atopic dermatitis through AhR activation.

Effects of scratching and engineered nanomaterials on gene profiles and microbiota in SKH-1 mice

Project description:Scratching damages upper layers of the skin, breaks this first line of immune defence, and leads to inflammation response, which often also modifies the microbiota of the skin. Although the healing of incision wounds is well-described, there are fewer studies on superficial wounds. We used a simulated model of skin scratching to study changes in the host transcriptome, skin microbiota, and their relationship. Additionally, we examined the effect of nanosized ZnO, TiO2, and Ag on both intact and damaged skin. At 24 h after exposure, the number of neutrophils was increased, 396 genes were differentially expressed, and microbiota compositions changed between scratched and intact control skin. At 7 d, the skin was still colonised by gut-associated microbes, including Lachnospiraceae, present in the cage environment, while the transcriptomic responses decreased. To sum up, the nanomaterial exposures reduced the relative abundance of cutaneous microbes on healthy skin, but the effect of scratching was more significant for the transcriptome than the nanomaterial exposure both at 24 h and 7 d. We conclude that superficial skin scratching induces inflammatory cell accumulation and changes in gene expression especially at 24 h, while the changes in the microbiota last at least 7 days.
