Project description:Transcriptional profiling of Homo sapiens inflammatory skin diseases (whole skin biospies): Psoriasis (Pso), vs Atopic Dermatitis (AD) vs Lichen planus (Li), vs Contact Eczema (KE), vs Healthy control (KO) In recent years, different genes and proteins have been highlighted as potential biomarkers for psoriasis, one of the most common inflammatory skin diseases worldwide. However, most of these markers are not psoriasis-specific but also found in other inflammatory disorders. We performed an unsupervised cluster analysis of gene expression profiles in 150 psoriasis patients and other inflammatory skin diseases (atopic dermatitis, lichen planus, contact eczema, and healthy controls). We identified a cluster of IL-17/TNFα-associated genes specifically expressed in psoriasis, among which IL-36γ was the most outstanding marker. In subsequent immunohistological analyses IL-36γ was confirmed to be expressed in psoriasis lesions only. IL-36γ peripheral blood serum levels were found to be closely associated with disease activity, and they decreased after anti-TNFα-treatment. Furthermore, IL-36γ immunohistochemistry was found to be a helpful marker in the histological differential diagnosis between psoriasis and eczema in diagnostically challenging cases. These features highlight IL-36γ as a valuable biomarker in psoriasis patients, both for diagnostic purposes and measurement of disease activity during the clinical course. Furthermore, IL-36γ might also provide a future drug target, due to its potential amplifier role in TNFα- and IL-17 pathways in psoriatic skin inflammation.

Project description:Analysis of ex vivo isolated lymphatic endothelial cells from the dermis of patients to define type 2 diabetes-induced changes. Results preveal aberrant dermal lymphangiogenesis and provide insight into its role in the pathogenesis of persistent skin inflammation in type 2 diabetes. The ex vivo dLEC transcriptome reveals a dramatic influence of the T2D environment on multiple molecular and cellular processes, mirroring the phenotypic changes seen in T2D affected skin. The positively and negatively correlated dLEC transcripts directly cohere to prolonged inflammatory periods and reduced infectious resistance of patients´ skin. Further, lymphatic vessels might be involved in tissue remodeling processes during T2D induced skin alterations associated with impaired wound healing and altered dermal architecture. Hence, dermal lymphatic vessels might be directly associated with T2D disease promotion.

Project description:To understand the impact of dysfunctional TRPV3 on keratinocyte proliferation and differentiation, we conducted transcriptomic analysis on cells that express cloned different TRPV3 mutations identified in focal palmoplantar keratoderma (FPPK) patients and identified a number of perturbed pathways associated with epidermal cells construction and development. We also analyzed the molecular changes of skin biopsy samples from patients. Our data suggests that TRPV3 dysfunction inhibits keratinocyte differentiation, actives apoptosis pathway resulted in cell death, and disturbs the balance between keratinocyte proliferation and differentiation processes in the skin.

Project description:Palmoplantar skin is structurally and functionally unique, but the transcriptional programs driving this specialization are unknown. Here, we exploit single-cell RNA-sequencing of human palm, sole, and hip skin to describe the distinguishing characteristics of palmoplantar and non-palmoplantar skin while also uncovering previously unappreciated differences between palmar and plantar sites. Our approach reveals downregulation of diverse immunological processes and decreased immune cell populations in palmoplantar skin, highlighting an altered immune environment in the skin of the palms and soles. Further, we identify specific palmoplantar and non-palmoplantar fibroblast populations that appear to orchestrate key differences in cell-cell communication in palm, sole, and hip. Dedicated analysis of epidermal keratinocytes highlights major differences in basal cell fraction among the three sites and validates the presence of a more differentiated, cycling basal population. Finally, our data demonstrate the existence of two spinous keratinocyte populations that constitute two parallel, site-selective epidermal differentiation trajectories. Together, these results provide a deep characterization of the highly adapted palmoplantar skin and contribute new insights into the fundamental biology of human skin.
