Gene Expression data for melanocyte stem cells and melanoblasts isolated from the skin of wild-type mice and B-raf and C-raf double knock-out mice

ABSTRACT: Melanocyte are melanin-producing cells located in the bottom layer of the skin's epidermis and in the hair follicle. Melanin is the pigment primarily responsible notably for skin and hair color. Our team had previously shown a role for B-raf and C-raf genes in the maintenance of melanocyte stem cells located in mice hair follicle (Valluet et al, 2012). The aim of the present project was to understand the role of B-RAF and C-RAF kinases in melanocyte stem cell self-renewal. To reach this goal, we have generated a new mouse model in which cells of the melanocyte lineage can be followed by GFP expression. We performed gene array on melanocyte stem cell B-raf+/+; C-raf+/+ and B-raf-/-; C-raf-/-in order to identify the RAF kinases target genes which are involved in melanocyte stem cell self-renewal. Moreover, to better characterize the melanocyte stem cell population, we compared its gene expression profile to the melanoblast one (melanocyte stem cell's progenitors).

Gene expression architecture of mouse dorsal and tail skin reveals functional differences in inflammation and cancer [telogen/anagen]

Project description:Hair follicles are self-renewing organs within the skin which cycle through periods of growth and destruction, with an intervening period of outward quiescence. The hair follicle cycle is driven by Hedgehog and Wnt signaling and affects epithelial thickness, melanin production, immune function, and tumor susceptibility. We have previously shown that somatic alterations to the genome affect the genetic architecture of the skin. This study examines how the hair follicle cycle affects gene the genetic architecture in vivo by genomic and genetic analysis of 343 genetically heterogeneous mice during the hair follicle growth phase (anagen) and quiescent phase (telogen). We use eQTL analysis and differential correlation to identify changes in metabolic and stem cell activity not detected by differential expression. Germline influence in gene expression is profoundly higher during anagen, but this increase is not a simple factor of higher levels of gene expression. The most strongly induced eQTLs were involved in cellular energy metabolism and melanogenesis rather than hair follicle growth or hedgehog signaling. We demonstrate that hair follicle and circadian rhythm pathways are sexually dimorphic, but do not find evidence for an effect of sex on eQTL networks. We also use eQTL gene network analysis to identify candidate causal relationships between expression of genes in the hair follicle and melanin pathways, identifying Mcoln3 as a candidate for the familial melanoma locus on 1p22. To lower the bioinformatic barriers to eQTL network analysis we produced CARMEN, a free open-source stand-alone software package. This study demonstrates how to perform a systems genetic analysis of a heterogeneous tissue studied in vivo under physiologically relevant growth signals.

An RNAi screen unveils a new player in stem cell self-renewal and long-term regeneration

Project description:Mouse hair follicles undergo synchronized cycles. Cyclical regeneration and hair growth is fueled by stem cells (SCs). Following hair regeneration, SCs within the bulge and its vicinity (upper ORS which becomes the bulge for the next cycle) briefly self-renew to replenish expended SCs and ensure long-term tissue regeneration. We used microarrays to detect the relative levels of global gene expression influenced by transcription factor Tbx1 in order to gain insight into how Tbx1 is invovled in regulating hair follicle SC self-renewal and long-term regeneration. Fourty eight hours after deplicaiton induced hair regeneration, hair follicle SCs were FACS-purified for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. To obtain homogeneous populations of expression profiles, we applied FASC technique to purify SC according to their cell surface markers.

Calcineurin/Nfatc1 links skin stem cell quiescence to the endocrine hormone prolactin

Project description:Cyclosporine A (CSA) leads to the precocious onset of hair follicle growth, which is driven by premature activation and proliferation of hair follicle stem cells. Here, we identify gene expression changes associated with CSA treatment in hair follicle stem cells prior to the onset of proliferation as a readout for the early events in stem cell actvation. Hair follicle bulge stem cells were FACS-isolated from mouse skin during the 2nd telogen. Two biological replicated were performed.

Embryonic attenuated Wnt/β-catenin signaling defines niche location and long-term stem cell fate in hair follicle

Project description:Long-term adult stem cells sustain tissue homeostasis and regeneration throughout the lifetime of an organism. They are thought to originate from embryonic progenitors that acquired long-term self-renewal ability and multipotency at the end of organogenesis. We aim to mechanistically understand the embryonic origin of localized hair follicle stem cells. Here we discover embryonic progenitor cells occupying upper hair peg location; expressing a stem cell marker Nfatc1, contribute to long-term hair follicle stem cells, while the ones locating in the lower hair peg, expressing Shh, acquire differentiated cell fate. To understand the underlying mechanism leading to niche-induced HFSC specification, we profiled the expression of mRNA isolated from purified hair peg cells expressing Shh or Nfatc1. Based on DAVID functional gene annotation analysis, among genes that were expressed 2 fold more in Shh+ cells than in Nfatc1+ cells, we found that genes of the Wnt signaling pathway were enriched prominently. Base on these result and further genetic study, we suggest when hair placode develops to hair peg, a localized Wnt/β-catenin signal free zone emerges. Embryonic progenitors residing in this region gain expression of stem cell markers compared to their precursors and become definitive long-term hair follicle stem cells.

A Functional Role of RB-Dependent Pathway in the Control of Quiescence in Adult Epidermal Stem Cells Revealed by Genomic Profiling

Project description:Continuous cell renewal in mouse epidermis is at the expense of a pool of pluripotent cells that lie in a well defined niche in the hair follicle known as the bulge. To identify mechanisms controlling hair follicle stem cell homeostasis, we developed a strategy to isolate adult bulge stem cells in mice and to define their transcriptional profile. We observed that a large number of transcripts are underexpressed in hair follicle stem cells when compared to non-stem cells. Importantly, the majority of these downregulated genes are involved in cell cycle. Using bioinformatics tools, we identified the E2F transcription factor family as a potential element involved in the regulation of these transcripts. To determine their functional role, we used engineered mice lacking Rb gene in epidermis, which showed increased expression of most E2F family members and increased E2F transcriptional activity. Experiments designed to analyze epidermal stem cell functionality (i.e.: hair regrowth and wound healing) imply a role of the Rb-E2F axis in the control of stem cell quiescence in epidermis.

Genome-wide maps of histone modifications unwind in vivo chromatin states of the hair follicle lineage [ChIP-Seq]

Project description:Mouse hair follicles undergo synchronized cycles. Cyclical regeneration and hair growth is fueled by stem cells (SCs). During the rest phase, the HF-SCs remain quiescent due to extrinsic inhibitory signals within the niche. As activating cues accumulate, HF-SCs become activated, proliferate, and grows downward to form transient-amplifying matrix progenitor cells. We used ChIP-seq to reveal the genome-wide maps of histone modifications underlying the states of hair follicle stem cells and their transient-amplifying progeny before differentiation. Quiescent hair follicle stem cells (qHF-SCs), activated hair follicle stem cells (aHF-SCs) and transient-amplifying matrix cells (HF-TACs) were FACS-purified for ChIP-sequcencing.
