H3K18 lactylation-mediated ΔNp63α expression promotes self-renewal in limbal stem cells

ABSTRACT: In the present study, we established MYC-overexpressing limbal epithelial stem cell line (oeMYC-LESC) that exhibits a biomarker expression profile resembling that of limbal progenitor cells (LPCs). The self-renewal capacity of oeMYC-LESCs was markedly enhanced compared to high-passage cells, primarily through lactylation-dependent mechanisms. Specifically, H3K18la upregulates ΔNp63α, a key transcriptional regulator essential for epithelial stem cell function and the maintenance of stratified epithelial integrity [a]. In vivo studies further demonstrated that the H3K18la‑ΔNp63α axis promotes corneal epithelial regeneration.

Characterization of the Limbal Epithelial Stem Cell Niche

Project description:Limbal epithelial stem cells (LESCs) reside within the LSC niche (LSCN), located at the annular transition zone between the cornea and conjunctiva. LESCs are important for the long-term maintenance of the corneal epithelium and critical for repopulating the corneal epithelium after injury. We have recently identified that a hyaluronan (HA)-rich extracellular matrix (ECM) exists within the LSCN, and that this HA matrix is necessary for maintaining LESCs in the “stem cell” state. Herein we further characterized the composition of the LSCN, identifying key components of the HA-rich matrix. We identified that the hyaladherins IαI, TSG-6 and versican are highly expressed in the limbus when compared to the cornea. For IαI, Heavy chain 5 (HC5) was found to be the most highly expressed HC in the mouse and human cornea, and associates with HA forming HA/HC5 specific matrices. CD44 is the most likely receptor that mediates the interaction between LESCs and the HA-specific matrix. The LSCN is composed of a rich HA matrix that contains HA/HC5. HA/HC5 complexes could be used as an improved substrate for culturing LESCs during ex vivo expansion for limbal stem cell transplantation.

The spatial transcriptomic atlas of human limbus and vital niche microenvironment regulating the fate of limbal epithelial stem cells

Project description:We profiled over 400 spots within each sample and spatially located major cell types through the integration with reference the single-cell RNA sequencing data. Based on Robust Cell Type Decomposition (RCTD) technology, limbal epithelial stem cells (LESCs) were mainly localized in the basement membrane, and limbal niche cells were predominantly situated within the stromal area. Following, the limbus was divided into 4 regions based on histological structure, and the differential expressed genes among the four regions were analyzed. Notably, our investigation revealed significantly higher levels of GPHB5 and PERP within the epithelium of the middle region, precisely where LESCs predominantly reside. Concurrently, the activation of critical pathways such as "Protein Binding" and "ECM-receptor interaction" were discovered in this same region, underscoring its pivotal role in maintaining the limbal niche. Subsequently, cell-cell communication analysis was conducted on essential cells inside the niche microenvironment. Remarkably, we observed that limbal mesenchymal stem cells exhibit the largest amounts of ligands associated with LESCs, with melanocytes closely trailing behind. The widespread activity of COL6A2/CD44 signaling among limbal mesenchymal stem cells, melanocytes, immune cells, and LESCs, indicate its essential role in mediating bidirectional communication via the Collagen pathway. Additionally, a myriad of ligand-receptor interactions and pathways regulatory crosstalk among diverse cell types were exhibited.

Differentiation of human limbal-derived induced pluripotent stem cells into limbal-like epithelium

Project description:Limbal epithelial stem cell (LESC) deficiency represents a significant clinical problem especially in bilateral cases. Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) may be a promising source of LESC, allowing standardized and continual propagation and banking. The objective of this study was to generate iPSC from human limbal epithelial cultures and differentiate them back into limbal epithelial cells using substrata mimicking the natural LESC niche. Using Yamanaka’s episomal vectors limbal-derived iPSC were reprogrammed from LESC cultured from donor corneoscleral rims and from human skin fibroblasts. A clone from limbal-derived iPSC expressed stemness markers, had a diploid karyotype, and produced teratomas in nude mice representing three germ layers. Compared to parental LESC, this clone had fewer specific gene methylation changes revealed using the Illumina Infinium Methylation 450k Beadchips than compared to skin fibroblasts. The expression of putative LESC markers was examined by quantitative RT-PCR and immunostaining in limbal-derived and fibroblast-derived iPSC cultured on denuded human amniotic membrane or denuded cornea. Limbal-derived iPSC had markedly stronger expression of PAX6, ABCG2, Np63, keratins 14, 15, 17, and N-cadherin than fibroblast-derived iPSC. On denuded corneas, limbal-derived iPSC showed the expression of differentiated corneal keratins 3 and 12. The data suggest that iPSC differentiation to a desired lineage may be facilitated by their generation from the same tissue. This may be related to preservation of parental tissue epigenetic methylation signatures in iPSC and use of biological substrata similar to the natural niche of parental cells. The data pave the way for generating transplantable LESC from limbal-derived iPSC. Bisulphite converted DNA from the 12 samples were hybridised to the Illumina Infinium 450k Human Methylation Beadchip

Identification of target genes regulated by ΔNp63α in SaOS-2 cells stably expressed with ΔNp63α

Project description:To identify the target gene of ΔNp63α, in osteosarcoma cells, we performed the global gene expression profiling in SaOS- 2 cells stably overexpressing the ΔNp63α gene (SaOS- 2-ΔNp63α). ΔNp63α target genes were identified by comparison with genes expressed from SaOS-2-EV transfected with an empty vector ( SaOS-2-EV).
