RNASeq of juvenile keratinocytes, melanocytes, fibroblasts and whole skin

ABSTRACT: We used whole transcriptome sequencing (RNA-Seq) to assess differential gene expression of normal human melanocytes with respect to keratinocytes, fibroblasts and whole skin. We have identified a number of genes and pathways, which are characteristic or unique for MC compared to KC and FB. We also demonstrated the extent of the difference between genes detectable in MC culture and the whole skin. The present results reveal melanocytes as highly proliferative cells with stem cell-like properties.

Effect of enhanced melanin synthesis on the production of extracellular vesicles in melanocytes and communication with keratinocytes

Project description:Extracellular vesicle(EV) secretion and capture is an important method of communication between cells. Melanocytes and their surrounding keratinocytes form epidermal melanin units in the thin, outermost layer of the skin to protect the skin from ultraviolet radiation damage. It is important to understand the mechanisms by which changes in melanocyte EV signal transduction influence pigmentation. Mouse melanocytes (melan-α cell) overexpressing MITF and CD63-GFP were used to to investigate the effect on vesicle formation by WB and SEM. Coculturing of melanocyte with keratinocyte(PAM212) was used to explore the polarization of vesicles and transfer between cells by immunofluorescence, flow cytometry. EVs from melanocytes were extracted and used to investigate changes in the miRNA profile of EVs, and the effect of exosomal miR-28 on keratinocyte growth and transcriptomics was analyzed by flow cytometry, TEM, particle size analysis, WB, the iCELLigence system and RNA-seq analysis.Our results indicate that melanocytes in the skin affected vesicle synthesis under the condition of enhanced melanin synthesis function: the expression of CD81, VPS37, VPS36B and Rab27b (melanosome and vesicle transport protein during ESCRT machinery) increased. Keratinocytes can cause the polarization of vesicles in melanocytes and capture EVs from melanocytes via plasmalemma fusion. Analysis of the miRNA profile derived from melanocyte EVs showed that the expression levels of miR-125, miR-130, miR-211, miR-127, miR-692 and miR-709 were increased, while the expression levels of miR-28, miR-744, let-7g and miR-6240 were decreased. The content of miR-28 in EVs may be reduced to induce keratinocytes to prevent carcinogenesis, resist infection and prevent premature apoptosis.

Comparison of the Transcriptional Profiles of Melanocytes from Dark and Light Skinned Individuals under Basal Conditions and Following Ultraviolet-B Irradiation

Project description:We analysed the whole-genome transcriptional profile of 6 cell lines of dark melanocytes (DM) and 6 of light melanocytes (LM) at basal conditions and after UVB at different time points (6, 12 and 24h) to investigate the mechanisms by which melanocytes protect human skin from the damaging effects of ultraviolet-B radiation (UVB). Further, we assessed the effect of different keratinocyte-conditioned media (KCM+ and KCM-) on melanocytes.

Single cell human melanocytes

Project description:We report single cell transcriptomes from human skin samples that have been enriched for melanocytes using FACS. This work revealed anatomical site-specific melanocyte expression programs. In addition, by surveying melanocytes at different stages of development, we identified development-associated expression programs that are reflected in the dedifferentiation of melanomas.

Transcription profiling of human NF1 heterozygous (NF1+/-) melanocytes from a Neurofibromatosis type 1 patient and NF1 wild type (NF1+/+) melanocytes of a healthy control patient

Project description:One of the major primary features of the neurocutaneous genetic disorder Neurofibromatosis type 1 are the hyperpigmentary café-au-lait macules where dysregulation of melanocyte development, proliferation and differentiation is considered to play a key etiopathogenic role. To gain better insight in the possible role of the tumor suppressor gene NF1, a transcriptomic microarray analysis was performed on human NF1 heterozygous (NF1+/-) melanocytes of a Neurofibromatosis type 1 patient and NF1 wild type (NF1+/+) melanocytes of a healthy control patient, both cultured from normally pigmented and hyperpigmented lesional café-au-lait skin. Out of 13,850 unique genes, a total of 137 had a significant twofold or more up- (72) or down-regulated (65) expression in NF1+/- melanocytes compared to NF1+/+ melanocytes (genotype effect). Considering possible intrinsic genetic variation in lesional skin, melanocytes showed a total of 51 genes having a significant twofold or more up- (37) or down-regulated (14) expression when they were cultured from hyperpigmentary café-au-lait skin compared to normally pigmented skin (lesional skin type effect). NF1+/- café-au-lait skin melanocytes showed 468 genes with a significant two-fold or more up- (183) or down-regulated (285) expression going beyond the sum of the separate main effects (interaction). Detailed analysis enabled the identification of several modulated genes in NF1+/- (café-au-lait skin) melanocytes, mainly involved in controlling cell proliferation and cell maintenance, in cell adhesion and, surprisingly, in the immune response. An interesting finding was that a high number of transcription factor genes were differentially modulated, among which a specific subset - important in melanocyte-lineage development - showed downregulation in a transcriptional cis-regulatory network governing the activation of the melanocyte-specific dopachrome tautomerase (DCT) gene.

RNA-seq identifies a diminished differentiation gene signature in primary monolayer keratinocytes grown from lesional and uninvolved psoriatic skin

Project description:Keratinocyte (KC) hyper-proliferation and epidermal thickening are characteristic features of psoriasis lesions, but the specific contributions of KCs to plaque formation are not fully understood. This study used RNA-seq to investigate the transcriptome of primary monolayer KC cultures grown from lesional (PP) and non-lesional (PN) biopsies of psoriasis patients and control subjects (NN). Whole skin biopsies from the same subjects were evaluated concurrently. RNA-seq analysis of whole skin identified a larger number of psoriasis-increased differentially expressed genes (DEGs), but analysis of KC cultures identified more PP- and PN-decreased DEGs. These latter DEG sets overlapped more strongly with genes near loci identified by psoriasis genome-wide association studies and were enriched for genes associated with epidermal differentiation. Consistent with this, the frequency of AP-1 motifs was elevated in regions upstream of PN-KC-decreased DEGs. A subset of these genes belonged to the same co-expression module, mapped to the epidermal differentiation complex, and exhibited differentiation-dependent expression. These findings demonstrate a decreased differentiation gene signature in PP/PN-KCs that had not been identified by pre-genomic studies of patient-derived monolayers. This may reflect intrinsic defects limiting psoriatic KC differentiation capacity, which may contribute to compromised barrier function in normal-appearing uninvolved psoriatic skin.

Human Sensory Neurons Modulate Melanocytes Through Secretion of RGMB

Project description:Melanocytes are surrounded by diverse cells including sensory neurons in our skin, but their interaction and functional importance has been poorly investigated. In this study, we found that melanocytes and nociceptive neurons contact more in human skin color patch tissue than control. Co-culture with human iPS cell-derived sensory neurons significantly induced morphogenesis and pigmentation of human melanocytes. To reveal melanocytes-stimulating factors secreted from neurons, we performed proteomic analyses and identified RGMB in the sensory neuron-conditioned media. RGMB protein induced morphogenesis and melanin production of melanocytes, demonstrating that RGMB is a melanocyte-stimulating factor released from sensory neurons. Transcriptome analysis suggested that the melanosome transport machinery could be controlled by RGMB, which led us to identify vesicle production response of melanocytes upon RGMB treatment. This study discovered a role of sensory neurons to modulate multiple aspects of human melanocytes through secretion of a key factor RGMB.

UV effects in mouse melanocytes

Project description:Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is a major melanoma risk factor, yet underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here we introduce a mouse model permitting fluorescence-aided melanocyte imaging and isolation following in vivo UV irradiation. We use expression profiling to show that activated neonatal skin melanocytes isolated following a melanomagenic UVB dose bear a distinct, persistent interferon-response signature, including genes associated with immunoevasion. UVB-induced melanocyte activation, characterized by aberrant growth and migration, was abolished by antibody-mediated systemic blockade of interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma), but not type-I interferons. IFN-gamma was produced by macrophages recruited to neonatal skin by UVB-induced chemokine receptor Ccr2 ligands. Admixed recruited skin macrophages enhanced transplanted melanoma growth by inhibiting apoptosis; notably, IFN-gamma blockade abolished macrophage-associated melanoma growth and survival. IFN-gamma-producing macrophages were identified in 70% of human melanomas examined. Our data reveal an unanticipated role for IFN-gamma in promoting melanocytic cell survival/immunoevasion, and suggest IFN-gamma-R signaling represents a novel therapeutic melanoma target. Biologic replicates of UVA- and UVB-treated mouse melanocytes, as well as untreated mouse melanocytes and mouse keratinocytes, were used to define melanocyte expression signatures associated with UV treatment.

DNA methylation analysis of malignant and normal uveal melanocytes reveals novel molecular features of uveal melanoma

Project description:In order to address epigenetic regulation, NM and UM models were analyzed through OxBS sequencing pipeline (Cambridge Epigenetics). Whole genome DNA methylation analysis was carried out with a Cambridge Epigenetics kit (TrueMethyl kit) that corresponds to an oxidative bisulfite reaction, to identify and analyze only 5-methylcytosine (5-mC). This modification of bisulfite sequencing was found to be more robust in our samples, particularly for the normal melanocytes, most probably due to the abundance of melanin

Mass spectrometry-based profiling of histone posttranslational modifications in uveal melanoma tissue, human melanocytes, and uveal melanoma cell lines

Project description:Purpose: Epigenetic mechanisms and alterations in uveal melanoma (UM) development are still not well understood. In this pilot study, histone posttranslational modifications (PTMs), which are epigenetic mechanisms regulating gene expression, were analyzed in UM formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues and control tissue as well as in UM cell lines and healthy melanocytes to provide a deeper insight into the pathogenesis of UM and the potentially prognostic relevance of these molecular markers. Methods: FFPE tissue of UM (n=24) and normal choroid (n=4) as well as human UM cell lines (n=7), human skin melanocytes (n=6) and uveal melanocytes (n=2), were analyzed by a quantitative mass spectrometry (MS) approach.

Expression data of primary melanocytes from aryl hydrocarbon deficient mice and corresponding wild-type C57BL/6 mice

Project description:[original Title] Comparison of expression data of primary murine melanocytes from aryl hydrocarbon deficient mice and corresponding wild-type C57BL/6 mice Melanin is produced exclusively by melanocytes and melanogenesis is the vital response to protect skin cells against Ultraviolet B (UVB)-induced DNA damage. The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) is a transcription factor, which may be involved in the physiological tanning response. Normal murine melanocytes express functional AhR. We tested gene expression in WT versus AhR-deficient mice primary murine melanocytes, isolated from the skin and cultivated for several passages. Skin epidermal cells from 2 individual C57BL/6 mice and 2 individual AhR-deficient mice (deletion of exon2, AhRtm1Bra) were grown for 6-8 weeks in selection medium to propagate melanocytes.
