Comparison of Transcriptomics of Mouse Skin Derived Precursors (SKPs) and Dermal Fibroblasts by RNA-Seq

ABSTRACT: Skin-derived precursors (SKPs) from dermis possess the capacities of self-renewal and multipotency. In vitro and in vivo studies demonstrated that they can differentiate into fibroblasts. However, little is known about the molecular mechanism of the differentiation of SKPs into fibroblasts in vitro. To elucidate the genes involved in the process, transcriptome profiling of SKPs and fibroblasts was analyzed and compared using RNA-Seq. A total of 2659 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified by RNA-Seq, which provided abundant data for further analysis. Gene Ontology enrichment analysis revealed that genes related to cell differentiation, cell proliferation, protein binding, transporter activity and membrane were significantly enriched. A novel gene 1700009N14Rik related to cell differentiation was significantly up-regulated. The most significantly up-regulated genes Wnt4, Wisp2 and Tsp-1 and the down-regulated genes Retn, Slitrk1, Klk6, Agtr2, Ivl, Msx1, IL15, Atp6v0d2, Kcne1l and Thbs4 might play important roles in the transition of SKPs to fibroblasts. KEGG analysis showed that DEGs were significantly enriched in the TGF-β signaling pathway, Wnt signaling pathway and Notch signaling pathway, which have been previously proven to regulate the differentiation and self-renewal of various stem cells. These identified DEGs and pathways could facilitate further investigations of the detailed molecular mechanisms, making it possible to take advantage of the potential therapeutic applications of SKPs in skin repair in the future.

Identification of drugs that enhance skin repair using dermal stem cell-based screens [Rat]

Project description:Here, we asked whether we could identify pharmacological agents that enhance endogenous stem cell function to promote skin repair, focusing on SKPs (skin-derived precursors) a dermal precursor cell population. Libraries of compounds already used in humans were screened for their ability to enhance the self-renewal of human and rodent SKPs. We identified and validated 5 such compounds, and showed that two of them, alprostadil and trimebutine maleate, enhanced the repair of full thickness skin wounds in middle-aged mice. Moreover, SKPs isolated from drug-treated skin displayed long-term increases in self-renewal when cultured in basal growth medium without drugs. Both alprostadil and trimebutine maleate likely mediated increases in SKPs self-renewal by moderate hyperactivation of the MEK-ERK pathway. These findings identify candidates for potential clinical use in human skin repair, and provide support for the idea that pharmacological activation of endogenous tissue precursors represents a viable therapeutic strategy. We obtained three independent isolates of SKPs from newborn Sprague-Dawley rat pups. Secondary SKPs spheres were dissociated, treated with 100 nM of alprostadil, trimebutine maleate or 100 nM of both trimebutine maleate and trametinib for 24 hour. RNA samples deriving from these cells were analyzed on the Affymetrix GeneChip Rat Gene 2.0 ST Array.

Autocrine effects of transgenic resistin reduce palmitate and glucose oxidation in brown adipose tissue by affecting expression of genes involved in skeletal muscle and connective tissue development, inflammation, MAPK, insulin and calcium signaling.

Project description:Resistin has been originally identified as an adipokine that links obesity to insulin resistance in mice. In our previous studies in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) expressing a nonsecreted form of mouse resistin (Retn) transgene specifically in adipose tissue (SHR-Retn), we observed an increased lipolysis and serum free fatty acids, ectopic fat accumulation in muscles and insulin resistance. Recently, brown adipose tissue (BAT) has been suggested to play an important role in the pathogenesis of metabolic disturbances by its ability to dissipate energy excess. In the current study, we analyzed autocrine effects of transgenic resistin on BAT glucose and lipid metabolism and mitochondrial function in the SHR-Retn versus nontransgenic SHR controls. We observed that interscapular BAT isolated from SHR-Retn transgenic rats when compared to SHR controls showed a lower relative weight, significantly reduced both basal and insulin stimulated incorporation of palmitate into BAT lipids, and significantly decreased palmitate oxidation and glucose oxidation. In addition, in vivo microPET imaging revealed significantly reduced 18F-FDG uptake in BAT induced by exposure to cold in SHR-Retn versus control SHR. Gene expression profiles identified differentially expressed genes involved in skeletal muscle and connective tissue developmental and inflammation, as well as MAPK and insulin signaling. These results provide compelling evidence that autocrine effects of resisitin in BAT play an important role in the pathogenesis of insulin resistance in the rat.

CONVERGENT GENESIS OF AN ADULT NEURAL CREST-LIKE DERMAL STEM CELL FROM DISTINCT DEVELOPMENTAL ORIGINS

Project description:Skin-derived precursors (SKPs) are multipotent dermal stem cells that reside within a hair follicle niche and that share properties with embryonic neural crest precursors. Here, we have asked whether SKPs and their endogenous dermal precursors originate from the neural crest or whether, like the dermis itself, they originate from multiple developmental origins. To do this, we used two different mouse Cre lines that allow us to perform lineage tracing: Wnt1-cre, which targets cells deriving from the neural crest, and Myf5-cre, which targets cells of a somite origin. By crossing these Cre lines to reporter mice, we show that the endogenous follicle-associated dermal precursors in the face derive from the neural crest, and those in the dorsal trunk derive from the somites, as do the SKPs they generate. In spite of these different developmental origins, SKPs from these two locations are functionally similar, even with regard to their ability to differentiate into Schwann cells, a cell type only thought to be generated from the neural crest. Analysis of global gene expression using microarrays confirmed that facial and dorsal SKPs exhibit a very high degree of similarity, and that they are also very similar to SKPs derived from ventral dermis, which has a lateral plate origin. However, these developmentally-distinct SKPs also retain differential expression of a small number of genes that reflect their developmental origins. Thus, an adult neural crest-like dermal precursor can be generated from a non-neural crest origin, a finding with broad implications for the many neuroendocrine cells in the body. We obtained three independent isolates each of dorsal trunk SKPs, ventral trunk SKPs and facial SKPs and four isolates of MSCs, all generated from adult rats. RNA samples deriving from these cells were analyzed on the Affymetrix GeneChip Rat Gene 1.0 ST Array.

Design of a gene signature to assess the proinflammatory and the profibrotic polarization of murine fibroblasts

Project description:We provide an original multi-stage approach identifying a gene signature to assess the fibroblast polarization. Prototypic polarizations (inflammatory/fibrotic) were induced by seeded mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) with TNFα or TGFß1, respectively. The transcriptomic and proteomic profiles were obtained by RNA microarray and LC/MS-MS. Gene Ontology and pathways analysis were performed among the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and proteins (DEPs). Balb/c mice underwent daily intradermal injections of HOCl (or PBS) as an experimental murine model of inflammation-mediated fibrosis in a time-dependent manner. As results, 1,456 and 2,215 DEGs, and 289 and 233 DEPs were respectively found in MEFs in response to TNFα or TGFß1, respectively. Among the most significant pathways, we combined 26 representative genes to encompass the proinflammatory and profibrotic polarizations of fibroblasts. Based on principal component analysis, this signature deciphered baseline state, proinflammatory polarization, and profibrotic polarization as accurately as did RNA microarray and LC/MS-MS. Then, we assessed the gene signature on dermal fibroblasts isolated from the experimental murine model. We observed a proinflammatory polarization at day 7, and a mixture of a proinflammatory and profibrotic polarizations at day 42 in line with histological findings. Our approach provides a small-size and convenient gene signature to assess murine fibroblast polarization.

Project description:Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a dynamic process and critically contributes to treatment resistance, cancer cell dissemination and metastasis. Main objective of this study was to investigate the functional interaction between Kallikrein-related peptidase 6 (KLK6) and aldehyde dehydrogenase 1A (ALDH1A)-related retinoic acid (RA) signaling as recent studies reported their impact on molecular features resembling EMT in several malignancies, including head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). In HNSCC cell lines, we demonstrate that KLK6 is not only a downstream target of ALDH1A-related RA signaling, but also acts as an upstream regulator of ALDH1A3 expression. KLK6 and ALDH1A3 co-expression was confirmed in a mouse xenograft model and two independent HNSCC cohorts (HIPO-HNC and TCGA-HNC). KLK6 and ALDH1A3 co-expressed genes in HNSCC, which are also differentially expression in HNSCC cells with silenced KLK6 expression unraveled several subgroups of HNSCC patients with distinct histopathological and clinical features. In summary, our study highlights a new functional circuit with KLK6 and ALDH1A3 as key nodes and unraveled a gene expression signature, which predicts unfavorable prognosis in human papilloma virus (HPV)-negative HNSCC.

Validation and application of a novel KLK6 activity based probe (IMP2352)

Project description:Pancreatic cancer has the lowest survival rate of all common cancers due to late diagnosis and limited treatment options. Serine hydrolases are known to mediate cancer progression and metastasis through initiation of signaling cascades and cleavage of extracellular matrix proteins, and the kallikrein-related peptidase (KLK) family of secreted serine proteases have emerging roles in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). However, the lack of reliable activity-based probes (ABP) to profile KLK activity has hindered progress in validation of these enzymes as potential targets or biomarkers. Here, we developed potent and selective ABPs for KLK6 by using a positional scanning combinatorial substrate library and characterized their binding mode and interactions by X-ray crystallography. The optimized KLK6 probe IMP-2352 (kobs/I = 11,000 M-1 s-1) enabled selective detection of KLK6 activity in a variety of PDAC cell lines, and we observed that KLK6 inhibition reduced the invasiveness of PDAC cells that secrete active KLK6. KLK6 inhibitors were combined with N-terminomics to identify potential secreted protein substrates of KLK6 in PDAC cells, providing insights into KLK6-mediated invasion pathways. These novel KLK6 ABPs offer a new toolset to validate KLK6 and associated signaling partners as targets or biomarkers across a range of diseases.
