Project description:Keloids are dermal fibroproliferative skin disorders caused by abnormal wound healing, resulting in impaired skin function and aesthetic defects. Abnormal fibroblast proliferation and excessive collagen deposition are involved in keloid formation. This study investigated the role of fibroblast differentiation in keloid development. Single-cell and bulk RNA sequencing data of keloids were comprehensively analyzed, and 25 clinically relevant differentially expressed fibroblast-differentiation-related genes (DEFDRGs) were identified. Based on DEFDRGs, a keloid diagnostic classification system comprising three subtypes was constructed, indicating that DEFDRGs could serve as therapeutic targets. Additionally, multiple microarray datasets, protein sequencing data, and immunohistochemical analyses of key markers in clinical keloid samples were used for further verification. In conclusion, this study established a molecular classification of keloids based on fibroblast differentiation, contributing to the further understanding of keloid pathogenesis and providing new insights for diagnosis and treatment.

Project description:Dermal fibroblasts deposit type I collagen, the dominant extracellular matrix molecule found in skin, during early postnatal development. Coincident with this biosynthetic program, fibroblasts proteolytically remodel pericellular collagen fibrils by mobilizing the membrane-anchored matrix metalloproteinase, Mmp14. Unexpectedly, dermal fibroblasts in Mmp14-/- mice commit to a large-scale apoptotic program that leaves skin tissues replete with dying cells. A requirement for Mmp14 in dermal fibroblast survival is recapitulated in vitro when cells are embedded within, but not cultured atop, 3-dimensional hydrogels of cross-linked type I collagen. In the absence of Mmp14-dependent pericellular proteolysis, dermal fibroblasts fail to trigger β1 integrin activation and instead actuate a TGF-β1/phospho-JNK stress response that leads to apoptotic cell death in vitro as well as in vivo. Taken together, these studies identify Mmp14 as a requisite cell survival factor that maintains dermal fibroblast viability in postnatal dermal tissues.

Project description:Aberrant production of extracellular matrix (ECM) from dermal fibroblasts drives fibrotic skin diseases, which significantly affect the quality of patients’ lives. Current treatment options for skin fibrosis remain limited or ineffective; therefore, new antifibrotic strategies are urgently needed. Gaining insights into molecular control of ECM production could lead to the identification of new therapeutic targets. Recent studies suggest Zinc Finger 469 (ZNF469) as a positive regulator for ECM production; however, its role in skin fibrosis has not been investigated. In this study, we found that knockdown of ZNF469 impaired proliferation, migration, and contraction in human dermal fibroblasts. More importantly, depletion of ZNF469 significantly caused a reduction in collagen production. RNA-sequence analysis of ZNF469-knockdown cells revealed significant suppression of several ECM genes and genes involved in the process of collagen biosynthesis, suggesting ZNF469 as a key regulator of ECM production. To find the clinical relevance, we examined expression of ZNF469 by reanalyzing public bulk and single-cell RNA-sequence data sets of hypertrophic scars and keloids as a representation of skin fibrosis. The RNA sequence of bulk tissues showed that hypertrophic scar and keloid tissues had higher levels of ZNF469 and that ZNF469 and ECM genes were positively correlated. Single-cell RNA sequence of keloid scars revealed restricted expression of ZNF469 in the fibroblast population. Further analysis of fibroblast subpopulations showed specific expression of ZNF469 in mesenchymal fibroblasts, a subpopulation that has been demonstrated to be crucial for collagen overexpression in keloids. Psuedotime analysis indicated ZNF469 as a pioneering factor to establish the mesenchymal fibroblast subpopulation. Supporting this finding, we observed downregulation of various mesenchymal fibroblast markers from our RNA sequence results of ZNF469-depleted dermal fibroblasts, suggesting ZNF469 as a crucial factor for maintaining mesenchymal phenotypes. Finally, to explore the therapeutic potential of ZNF469, we silenced it in human keloid fibroblasts and demonstrated that its depletion reduced proliferation, migration, contraction, and collagen production. Moreover, expression of key mesenchymal fibroblast markers was significantly downregulated in ZNF469-knockdown keloid fibroblasts. Together, we illustrated that ZNF469 promoted the ECM production in dermal fibroblasts and could serve as a novel target for treating skin fibrosis.

Project description:Fibroblasts are the main dermal cell type and are essential for the architecture and function of human skin. Important differences have been described between fibroblasts localized in distinct dermal layers, and these cells are also known to perform varied functions. However, this phenomenon has not been analyzed comprehensively yet. Here we have used single-cell RNA sequencing to analyze >15,000 cells from a sun-protected area in young and old donors. Our results define four main fibroblast subpopulations that can be spatially localized and functionally distinguished. Importantly, intrinsic aging reduces this fibroblast ‘priming’, generates distinct expression patterns of skin aging-associated genes, and substantially reduces the interactions of dermal fibroblasts with other skin cell types. Our work thus provides comprehensive evidence for a functional specialization of human dermal fibroblasts and suggests that the age-related loss of fibroblast priming contributes to human skin aging.

Project description:To study the fibroblast to myofibroblast differentiation in a normal or pathological situation, NHDF (Normal human dermal fibroblast) obtained from two different healthy donors (donors A and B) were either left untreated (T-E-) either treated with TGF-beta alone (T+E-), or with exudate from chronic wounds (T-E+) or both (T+E+). For each different treatment we performed mRNA deep sequencing 3 times : twice with cells from donor A and once with cells from donor B.We focused our study on gene expression profile as a representation of cell fate. We performed mRNA deep sequencing analysis of the 4 different conditions. For each condition, mRNA deep sequencing was performed 3 times : twice with cells from donor A and once with cells from donor B.Comparing the mRNA abundance between the different treatments, we identified 3 lists of genes characterizing the different gene expression states: 171 genes in List I representing the genes differentially expressed during normal fibroblast to myofibroblast differentiation, 409 genes in List II representing the genes differentially expressed upon exudate-only treatment and 1006 genes in List III representing the genes differentially expressed upon the combination of exudate and TGF-beta treatments. 4 different treatments are compared : (T-E-) NHFD left untreated, (T+E-) NHDF treated with TGFbeta for 4 days, (T-E+) NHDF treated with exudate for 4 days and (T+E+) NHDF treated with both TGFbeta and exudate.

Project description:The skin is a protective barrier against external insults and any lesion must be rapidly and efficiently repaired. Dermal fibroblasts are the major source of extracellular connective tissue matrix and play an important role in wound healing. Vitamin C is an important water-soluble free radical scavenger and an essential cofactor for collagen synthesis by dermal fibroblasts and, consequently, may contribute to the maintenance of healthy skin. Using microarray analysis, we investigated the effects of long-term exposure to a stable vitamin C derivative, ascorbic acid 2-phosphate (AA2P), in contact-inhibited populations of primary human dermal fibroblasts. Compared with scorbutic cells, cells exposed to AA2P increased the expression of genes associated with DNA replication and repair and with the G(2)/M phase of the cell cycle. Consistent with the gene expression changes, AA2P increased the mitogenic stimulation of quiescent fibroblasts by serum factors and cell motility in the context of wound healing. Furthermore, AA2P-treated fibroblasts showed faster repair of oxidatively damaged DNA bases. We propose that vitamin C may protect the skin by promoting fibroblast proliferation, migration, and replication-associated base excision repair of potentially mutagenic DNA lesions, and we discuss the putative involvement of hypoxia-inducible transcription factor-1 and collagen receptor-related signaling pathways. Experiment Overall Design: Gene expression changes in response to vitamin C were analysed by Microarray technology in GM5659 human skin fibroblasts. Cells were treated with 100 µM of AA or AA2P (or growth medium alone) added fresh every day for a period of 5 days before the vitamin C-induced gene expression changes were investigated. Control, AA- and AA2P-treated samples were collected from three independent experiments each.

Project description:Small peptides with amino acid sequences similar to native skin proteins can beneficially affect clinical appearance (wrinkles) and architecture (collagen and elastic fibre deposition and epidermal thickness). However, the discovery of new cosmetic peptides has not been underpinned by any guiding hypothesis. As endogenous extracellular matrix (ECM)-derived peptides (matrikines) produced during tissue remodelling can influence cell activity, we hypothesised that protease cleavage site prediction can identify putative novel matrikines. This RNA-seq data is the in vivo test part of an in silico to in vivo discovery pipeline, which enables the prediction and characterisation of peptide matrikines with therapeutic potential. We use this pipeline to identify two novel ECM peptides (GPKG and LSVD) which, in combination, act in vitro to enhance the transcription of ECM organisation and cell proliferation genes and in vivo to promote epithelial and dermal remodelling. This pipeline approach can both identify new matrikines and provide insights into the mechanisms underpinning tissue repair.
