Project description:KLF7, a member of the KLF family, is an evolutionarily conserved zinc finger-containing transcription factor. Previous studies demonstrated that KLF7 possesses diverse regulatory functions related to embryogenesis, cell growth, proliferation, and differentiation. Our results reveal that there was an increased abundance of KLF7 in OSM-treated HaCaT cells. Mechanistically, our results showed that OSM induces epidermal keratinocyte differentiation through phosphorylation of STAT5, which binds to the promoter and activates KLF7 transcription.
Project description:To figure out the expression level of genes in normal human keratinocytes, we performed RNA-seq analysis in HaCaT cells. Here, we used 4 HaCaT cells as parallel samples.
Project description:We employed human HaCaT cells as a model system to identify cellular proteins that accompany SDS-induced toxicity based on a proteomic approach. HaCaT human keratinocyte cell line were treated with a non-cytotoxic dose of SDS (25 µg/ml, as determined by the MTT assay and microscopically examination) for 48 h. The altered abundance of proteins from HaCaT keratinocytes exposed to SDS was analyzed by LC-MS/MS approach and quantified using Progenesis LC software. The abundance of 217 proteins (which were identified by multiple peptides, ≥ 2) was altered in keratinocytes exposed to SDS; in which 131 proteins had increased abundance while 86 proteins was down regulated. The Pathview map of 131 up-regulated proteins was built and enhancement of glycolysis/gluconeogenesis was found.
Project description:Triton X-100 has been used as a model substance to study the effects of irritants on the skin. HaCaT human keratinocyte cell line were treated with a non-cytotoxic dose of Triton X-100, as determined by the MTT assay and microscopically examination) for 48 h. The altered abundance of proteins from HaCaT keratinocytes exposed to Triton X-100 was analyzed by LC-MS/MS approach and quantified using Progenesis LC software.
Project description:The keratinocyte cell line HaCaT was cultured for three days (proliferation) or for ten days (differentiation). RNA from cells at day3 was compared to RNA from cells at day10. The microarray hybridizations were performed in dye-swap procedure : RNA from cells at day3 was labeled with Cy3 (GSM4674, GSM4675, GSM4682, GSM4683) and then with cy5 (GSM4680, GSM4681). Keywords = cell density differentiation program in human keratinocytes

Project description:The specific functional features of the epidermal keratinocytes are determined by the activity of many genes. The aim of the project was to characterize the role of HSPA2, a member of the HSPA chaperone family (HSP70), in human epidermal keratinocytes. The inactivation of the HSPA2 gene in the HaCaT line of spontaneously immortalized epidermal keratinocytes was performed by CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing system. Next, the effect of modifications on the transcriptomic profile of cells growing in a three-dimensional model of reconstructed human epidermis in vitro was investigated. The cells were grown at air-liquid interface culture on collagen-fibroblast matrix to achieve maximal level of HaCaT differentiation in RHE system.
Project description:Basal expression levels in untreated human keratinocytes were determined to compare the HaSKpw cell line with the HaCat cell line. Cells were grown without synchronisation until confluency was reached and three biological replciates per cell line were analysed. Expression profiles were generated using Illumina HumanHT-12 V4.0 expression beadchip and the HiScan system (Illumina)
Project description:The purpose of this study is to search for aberrant genes in HaCaT keratinocytes after chronic exposure to arsenic trioxide. The objective of the investigation was to discover the mechanism of arsenic carcinogenicity in human epidermal keratinocytes. We hypothesize that a combined strategy of DNA microarray, qRT-PCR and gene function annotation will identify aberrantly expressed genes in HaCaT keratinocyte cell line after chronic treatment with arsenic trioxide. HaCaT cells were chronically exposed to 0.5µg/mL arsenic trioxide (As2O3) up to 22 passages and RNA was extracted. Microarray data analysis identified 14 up-regulated genes and 21 down-regulated genes in response to arsenic trioxide
Project description:The p53 protein is encoded by TP53 gene and plays the key role in significant number of cellular processes including proliferation, apoptosis and regulation of many stress response pathways. P53 acts like a direct transcription activator of numerous genes regulating cell cycle arrest, DNA repair, growth inhibition and many others (Mollereau and Ma, 2014). The canonical biological function of p53 is maintaining genome integrity via elimination of damaged or exposed to genotoxic stress cells. Immortalized HaCaT cells are widely used for keratinocyte research, since they maintain stable keratinocyte phenotype, have nearly unlimited proliferative potential, do not require specific growth and differentiation factors (Colombo et al., 2017). Also, HaCaT cells produce typical differentiation markers such as cytokeratins K14 and K10, involucrin (Colombo et al., 2017) and respond to keratinocyte differentiation stimuli. Taking together, HaCaT cells have similar to normal human keratinocytes (NHK) properties, however, as many of spontaneously immortalized cell lines HaCaT cells bear two mutant p53 alleles - R282Q and H179Y (Lehman et al., 1993). Mutp53 in HaCaT has an increased affinity to other p53 family members (p63, p73), which significantly expands p53 properties. Moreover, mutp53 indirectly affects specific target genes via protein-protein interactions with other transcription factors (NF-Y, E2F1, NF-KB) or by tethering p63 to new promotor locations. For more detailed investigation of mutp53 impact on various processes in HaCaT cells we performed a shRNA mediated knockdown of mutp53. For generation of stable TP53 knockdown we employed plasmid vector pLKO-p53-shRNA-941 (Addgene # #25637) followed by puromycin selection of transduced cells. Here we present proteomic dataset obtained from wild type HaCaT cells and p53 knock down HaCaT keratinocytes.
