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

ABSTRACT: 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.

AhR links air pollution and atopic dermatitis via Artemin induction

EGR1 increases the innervation density of epidermal sensory neurons via upregulation of ARTN in keratinocytes in atopic dermatitis

Project description:Atopic dermatitis (AD) is the chronic inflammatory skin disease accompanied with severe pruritus. To explore the roles of EGR1 in atopic dermatitis and the relationship between EGR1 and pruritus-scratching behavior, we used a atopic dermatitis-like mouse model driven by house dust mite (HDM) treatment in wild type and EGR1 KO mice, followed with RNA-sequencing analysis.

Transcription profiling of mouse keratinocytes expressing AhR to investigate inflammatory responses

Project description:Occupational and environmental exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) has been suggested to provoke inflammatory and/or allergic disorders including asthma, rhinitis and dermatitis. The molecular mechanisms of this PAH-mediated inflammation remain to be clarified. Previous studies implied the involvement of PAHs as irritants and allergens, with the reactive oxygen species generated from the oxygenated PAHs believed to be an exacerbating factor. As well, the possibility exists that PAHs contribute to the pathogenesis through activation of aryl-hydrocarbon receptor (AhR)-mediated transcription, since PAHs are potent inducers of the AhR. To address this point, we generated transgenic mouse lines expressing the constitutive active form of the AhR in keratinocytes. In these lines of mice, the AhR activity was constitutively enhanced in the absence of ligands, so that any other direct effects of PAHs and their metabolites could be ignored. At birth, these transgenic mice were normal, but severe skin lesions with itching developed postnatally. The skin lesions were accompanied by inflammation and immunological imbalance and resembled typical atopic dermatitis. Our present study demonstrates that constitutive activation of the AhR pathway causes inflammatory skin lesions and suggests a new mechanism for the exacerbation of inflammatory diseases following exposure to occupational and environmental xenobiotics. Experiment Overall Design: transgenic mice expressing constitutive active form of AhR in keratinocytes vs. non-transgenic mice (wild type littermates)

TWEAK mediates inflammation in experimental atopic dermatitis and psoriasis

Project description:Atopic dermatitis and psoriasis are driven by alternate type 2 and type 17 immune responses, but some proteins might be critical to both diseases. We show that a deficiency of the TNF superfamily molecule TWEAK (TNFSF12) in mice results in defective maintenance of atopic dermatitis-specific Th2 and psoriasis-specific Th17 cells in the skin, and impaired expression of disease-characteristic chemokines and cytokines, such as CCL17 and TSLP in atopic dermatitis, and CCL20 and IL-19 in psoriasis. The TWEAK receptor, Fn14, is upregulated in keratinocytes and dermal fibroblasts, and TWEAK induces these cytokines and chemokines alone and in synergy with the signature T helper cytokines of either disease, IL-13 and IL-17. Furthermore, subcutaneous injection of recombinant TWEAK into naïve mice induces cutaneous inflammation with histological and molecular signs of both diseases. TWEAK is therefore a critical contributor to skin inflammation and a possible therapeutic target in atopic dermatitis and psoriasis.

Proteomic analysis of small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) derived from primary keratinocytes cultured in different calcium concentrations, treated with a peanut allergen extract and atopic dermatitis (AD)-relevant cytokines

Project description:Epidermal keratinocytes are key for maintenance of the integrity of the epidermis. One of the main drivers of keratinocyte differentiation is the calcium gradient; calcium concentration gradually increases towards the outer layers of the epidermis. Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a disorder associated with a chronic inflammatory state and a compromised epidermal barrier. Keratinocytes secrete lipid-rich small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) that acts as mediators of both local and long-distance signaling.

Profiling of genes expressed in cultured human keratinocytes established from the bulge region of hair follicles.

Project description:We established a culture method of human keratinocytes from the bulge region of a plucked hair follicle, that contains multipotent epithelial stem cells with high proliferative potential. Using our method, keratinocyte cultures were successfully obtained from all subjects without invasive skin biopsies. We compared the gene expression profiles between the cultured keratinocytes derived from human hair-follicle-bulge (bulgeM-bM-^@M-^Sderived keratinocytes; BDKs) and neonatal human epidermal keratinocytes (NHEKs), and between BDKs from donors with atopic dermatitis and non-atopic controls using microarray analysis. Keywords: expressin profiling Two cell cultures, BDK vs. NHEK cells. 18 BDKs; derived from eighteen healthy volunteers , 6 NHEKs; purchased from Kurabo (Osaka, Japan). One replicate per array.

Interleukin-4 and interleukin-13 cytokines effect on epidermal keratinocytes

Project description:Analysis of cultured epidermal keratinocytes treated with interleukin-4 (IL-4) and interleukin-13 (IL-13). IL-4 and IL-13 are up-regulated in atopic dermatitis. Results provide insight into the role of IL-4 and IL-13 cytokines in the pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis. Analysis of epidermal keratinocytes transfected with dual oxidase 1 (DUOX1) siRNA knockdown before treatment with IL-4 and IL-13. DUOX1 is one of the NOX family members of NADPH oxidases whose primary function is ROS generation. Results provide insight into the role of the incraesed expression of DUOX1 in IL-4/IL-13-treated NHEK for IL4/IL13 signaling. IL-4 and IL-13 induced gene expression in human epidermal keratinocytes (NHEK) was measured at 48 hours. Gene expression in NHEK tranfected with 10 nM DUOX1 siRNA followed by treatment with 100 ng/ml IL-4 and 100 ng/ml IL-13 was measured at 48 hours. Three independent experiments were performed using different strains for each experiment.
