Project description:The microRNA-200 family is highly expressed in epithelial cells and frequently lost in metastatic cancer. Although the tumor-suppressing roles of this family are well documented and directly linked to the inhibition of mesenchymal genes, their targets and functions in normal epithelial tissues remain unclear. Furthermore, how the two sub-families of the five-microRNA family distinguished by a single nucleotide within the seed region regulate their targets is unclear. Here we show that the microRNA-200 family governs hair morphogenesis and fine-tunes stem cell specification by regulating cell adhesion, polarity and signaling pathways. By directly ligating microRNAs to their targeted mRNA regions, we identify numerous targets involved in the regulation of actin cytoskeleton, focal adhesion, cell cycle and Hippo/Yap signaling in a miRNA:mRNA pair-specific manner. The two sub-families bind to largely distinct target sites although many genes are regulated by both sub-families for a greater degree of regulation. Using inducible and knockout mouse models, we show that the microRNA-200 family enhances cell adhesion, inhibits migration and reduces cell division, contributing to precise stem cell specification. Our findings demonstrate that combinatorial targeting of many genes is critical for microRNA functions and provide new insights into microRNA-200s’ functions in normal epithelial tissues.

Project description:The hair follicle is a biological oscillator that alternates growth, regression, and rest phases driven by the sequential activation of the proliferation/differentiation programs of resident stem cell populations. The activation of hair follicle stem cell niches and subsequent entry into the growing phase is mainly regulated by Wnt/β-catenin signalling, while regression and resting phases are mainly regulated by Tgf-β/Bmp/Smad activity. A major question still unresolved is the nature of the molecular switch that dictates the coordinated transition between both signalling pathways. Here we have focused on the role of Endoglin (Eng), a key co-receptor for members of the Tgf-β/Bmp family of growth factors.Using an Eng haploinsufficient mouse model, we report that Eng is required to maintain a correct follicle cycling pattern and for an adequate stimulation of hair follicle stem cell niches. We further report that β-catenin binds to the Eng promoter depending on Bmp signalling. Moreover, we show that β-catenin interacts with Smad4 in a Bmp/Eng-dependent context and both proteins act synergistically to activate Eng promoter transcription. These observations point to the existence of a growth/rest switching mechanism in the hair follicle that is based on an Eng-dependent feedback crosstalk between Wnt/β-catenin and Bmp/Smad signals.

Project description:Continuous cell renewal in mouse epidermis is at the expense of a pool of pluripotent cells that lie in a well defined niche in the hair follicle known as the bulge. To identify mechanisms controlling hair follicle stem cell homeostasis, we developed a strategy to isolate adult bulge stem cells in mice and to define their transcriptional profile. We observed that a large number of transcripts are underexpressed in hair follicle stem cells when compared to non-stem cells. Importantly, the majority of these downregulated genes are involved in cell cycle. Using bioinformatics tools, we identified the E2F transcription factor family as a potential element involved in the regulation of these transcripts. To determine their functional role, we used engineered mice lacking Rb gene in epidermis, which showed increased expression of most E2F family members and increased E2F transcriptional activity. Experiments designed to analyze epidermal stem cell functionality (i.e.: hair regrowth and wound healing) imply a role of the Rb-E2F axis in the control of stem cell quiescence in epidermis.

Project description:Tissue formation requires a coordinated balance of progenitor cell proliferation and differentiation. Posttranslational protein modifications have emerged as a mechanism utilized to regulate progenitor cell state transitions. Herein, we exploit the well characterized and stereotyped hair follicle development to delineate the function of PADI4; an enzyme converting peptidylarginine to citrulline. Single cell-sequencing places Padi4 in both progenitor and differentiated hair lineage cells during hair follicle development. We show that the absence of PADI4 induces gene expression across hair follicle cell clusters, suggesting that PADI4 acts to negatively impact transcription. In addition, we establish PADI4 as a negative regulator of proliferation, acting of LEF1-positive hair shaft committed progenitor cells. Mechanistically, PADI4 citrullinates proteins associated with mRNA-processing and ribosomal biogenesis, and lack of PADI4 promotes protein synthesis and rRNA transcription in vivo, in both hair follicle progenitor and committed lineage cells. Characterizing key translational effectors, we demonstrate that PADI4 interacts with 4E-BP1 and reveal a crosstalk between PADI4 activity and 4E-BP1 phosphorylation. We report that PADI4 contributes to hair follicle development by repressing progenitor cell proliferation and translational activity. This work sheds new light on how posttranslational modifications impact progenitor cell states and tissue formation.

Project description:Bioactive sphingolipids serve as an essential building block of membranes, forming a selective barrier ensuring subcellular compartmentalization and facilitating cell type-specific intercellular communication through regulation of the plasma membrane receptor repertoire. How the cell type-specific lipid compositions are achieved and what is their functional significance in tissue morphogenesis and maintenance has remained unclear. Here, we identify a stem-cell specific role for ceramide synthase 4 (CerS4) in orchestrating fate decisions in the skin epidermis. Deletion of CerS4 in the epidermis prevents the effective establishment of the adult hair follicle bulge stem cell (HFSCs) niche due to altered differentiation trajectories of HFSC precursors towards upper hair follicle and inner bulge fates. Mechanistically, the HFSC differentiation defects arise from a stem cell intrinsic imbalance of key ceramides and sphingolipids, and associated hyperactivity of canonical Wnt signaling. The lack of HFSCs leads to disruption of hair follicle architecture and hair follicle barrier function, ultimately triggering a Th2-dominated immune infiltration closely resembling human atopic dermatitis. This work uncovers a fundamental role for a cell state-specific sphingolipid profile in epidermal stem cell homeostasis and the role of an intact stem cell niche in maintaining an intact skin barrier.

Total RNA was prepared from CD34+ and CD34- keratinocytes obtained from pools of at least six mice per MACS isolation procedure. A total of three isolation procedures were performed. RNA extracted from each fraction (CD34+ / CD34-) was assessed for its quality using Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer (Agilent Technologies) and hybridized to two Affymetrix Mouse 430 2.0 arrays, to ensure reproducibility of the process. This resulted in a total of 12 chips (6 CD34+ / 6 CD34-).

Project description:Increasing evidence suggests that microRNAs may play important roles in regulating self-renewal and differentiation in mammalian stem cells (SCs). Here, we explore this issue in skin. We first characterize microRNA expression profiles of skin SCs versus their committed proliferative progenies and identify a microRNA subset associating with “stemness”. Of these, miR-125b is dramatically downregulated in early SC-progeny. We engineer an inducible mice system and show that when miR-125b is sustained in SC-progenies, tissue balance is reversibly skewed towards stemness at the expense of epidermal, oil-gland and HF differentiation. Using gain-and-loss of function in vitro, we further implicate miR-125b as a repressor of SC differentiation. In vivo, transcripts repressed upon miR-125b induction are enriched >700% for predicted miR-125b targets normally downregulated upon SC-lineage commitment. We verify some of these miR-125b targets, and show that Blimp1 and VDR in particular can account for many tissue imbalances we see when miR-125b is deregulated. We used microarrays to compare the global gene expression profile of P4 stage hair follicle ORS cells from DTG (K14-rtTA,TRE-miR-125b) and control littermates. Hair follicle cells were isolated from P4 Backskin of K14-RFP/Sox9-EGFP double transgenic mice as following: interfollicular epidermis sheet was pealed from hair follicle & dermis after dispase treatment. The hair follicle & dermis were first digested by collagenase (Sigma). Intact hair follicles were separated from dermal cells by low speed spinning (20g). The hair follicles were then digested by Trypsin and filtered by 40 µm cell strainers. The isolated hair follicle cells were FACS sorted. Dead cells and large differentiated cells were excluded based on DAPI and side scattering. Early bulge cells were gated as GFPHi,RFPHi. Non-bulge ORS cells were gated as GFP-, RFPHi.
