Project description: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.

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:We performed single-cell RNA seq analysis on skin biopsies from six acne patients with a total of 32,966 cells from lesional skin and 29,202 cells from non-lesional skin using 10X Genomics. Gene expression data derived from cells in both lesional and non-lesional skin were aligned and projected onto a two-dimensional space using UMAP (Uniform Manifold Approximation and Projection). Unsupervised clustering revealed eight major clusters corresponding to seven different cell types lymphocytes, myeloid cells, keratinocytes, fibroblasts, endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, and melanocytes.

Project description:Dickkopf 1 (DKK1), which is expressed at high mRNA levels by fibroblasts in the dermis of human skin on the palms and soles, inhibits the function and proliferation of melanocytes in the epidermis of those areas via the suppression of beta-catenin and microphthalmia-associated transcriptor factor (MITF). In this study, we report that treatment of keratinocytes with DKK1 increases their proliferation and decreases their uptake of melanin, and that treatment of reconstructed skin with DKK1 induces a thicker and less pigmented epidermis. We investigated the effects of DKK1 on keratinocytes using DNA microarray technology. Keywords: compound treatment design

Project description:Kynureninase is a member of a large family of catalytically diverse but structurally homologous pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP) dependent enzymes known as the aspartate aminotransferase superfamily or alpha-family. The Homo sapiens and other eukaryotic constitutive kynureninases preferentially catalyze the hydrolytic cleavage of 3-hydroxy-l-kynurenine to produce 3-hydroxyanthranilate and l-alanine, while l-kynurenine is the substrate of many prokaryotic inducible kynureninases. The human enzyme was cloned with an N-terminal hexahistidine tag, expressed, and purified from a bacterial expression system using Ni metal ion affinity chromatography. Kinetic characterization of the recombinant enzyme reveals classic Michaelis-Menten behavior, with a Km of 28.3 +/- 1.9 microM and a specific activity of 1.75 micromol min-1 mg-1 for 3-hydroxy-dl-kynurenine. Crystals of recombinant kynureninase that diffracted to 2.0 A were obtained, and the atomic structure of the PLP-bound holoenzyme was determined by molecular replacement using the Pseudomonas fluorescens kynureninase structure (PDB entry 1qz9) as the phasing model. A structural superposition with the P. fluorescens kynureninase revealed that these two structures resemble the "open" and "closed" conformations of aspartate aminotransferase. The comparison illustrates the dynamic nature of these proteins' small domains and reveals a role for Arg-434 similar to its role in other AAT alpha-family members. Docking of 3-hydroxy-l-kynurenine into the human kynureninase active site suggests that Asn-333 and His-102 are involved in substrate binding and molecular discrimination between inducible and constitutive kynureninase substrates.

Project description:The function and survival of melanocytes is regulated by an elaborate network of paracrine factors synthesized mainly by epidermal keratinocytes. Keratinocytes and melanocytes respond to UV exposure by eliciting a tanning response. However, how keratinocytes and melanocytes interact in the absence of UV exposure is unknown. Here, we demonstrate that after Spry1 knockout in epidermal keratinocytes, melanocyte stem cells (McSCs) in the hair follicle exit the stem cell niche without depleting the pool of these cells. We also found that McSCs migrate to the epidermis in a Scf/C-kit-dependent manner induced by a tanning-like response resulting from Spry1 loss in epidermal keratinocytes. Once there, these cells differentiate into functional melanocytes. These findings show the potential for developing therapies for skin pigmentation disorders by manipulating McSCs.
