Project description:Keratins 5 and 14 are critical for cytoskeletal integrity, as shown by missense mutations in these genes, which cause the severe skin fragility disorder epidermolysis bullosa simplex (EBS). The complexity of the pathomechanisms in EBS is not fully understood and no effective management exists. In addition to fragility, EBS keratinocytes are characterized by aggregates of misfolded keratin. Here, we tested the chemical chaperone 4-phenylbutyrate (4-PBA) as a putative novel therapy, using keratinocytes from patients with severe generalized EBS due to distinct KRT5 and KRT14 mutations.

Project description:The structural complexity of nucleosomes underlies their functional versatility. Here we report a new type of complexity – nucleosome fragility, manifested as high sensitivity to micrococcal nuclease, in contrast to the common presumption that nucleosomes are similar in resistance to MNase digestion. Using differential MNase digestion of chromatin and high-throughput sequencing, we have identified a special group of nucleosomes termed fragile nucleosomes throughout the yeast genome, nearly one thousand of which are at previously determined “nucleosome free” loci. Nucleosome fragility is broadly implicated in multiple chromatin processes, including transcription, translocation and replication, in correspondence to specific physiological states of cells. In the environmental-stress-response genes, the presence of fragile nucleosomes prior to the occurrence of environmental changes suggests that nucleosome fragility poises genes for swift up-regulation in response to the environmental changes. We propose that nucleosome fragility underscores distinct functional statuses of the chromatin and provides a new dimension for portraying the landscape of genome organization. Comparing nucleosome occupancy under different MNase digestion levels and growth conditions.

Project description:Desmosomes are dynamic complex protein structures involved in cellular adhesion. Disruption of these structures by loss of function variants in desmosomal genes lead to a variety of skin and heart related phenotypes. Here, we report tuftelin 1 as a desmosome-associated protein, implicated in epidermal integrity. In two siblings with mild skin fragility, woolly hair and mild palmoplantar keratoderma, but without a cardiac phenotype, we identified a homozygous splice site variant in the TUFT1 gene, leading to aberrant mRNA splicing and loss of tuftelin 1 protein. Patients’ skin and keratinocytes showed acantholysis, perinuclear retraction of intermediate filaments, and reduced mechanical stress resistance. Immunolabeling and transfection studies showed that tuftelin 1 is positioned within the desmosome and its location dependent on the presence of the desmoplakin carboxy-terminal tail. A Tuft1 knock-out mouse model mimicked the patients’ phenotypes. Altogether, this study reveals tuftelin 1 as a desmosome-associated protein, whose absence causes skin fragility, woolly hair and palmoplantar keratoderma.

Project description:Filaggrin-2 (FLG2), a member of the S100-fused type protein family, is a 250 kDa protein mainly expressed in differentiated keratinocytes of the epidermis (Wu et al., 2009; Hsu et al., 2011). Its expression is reduced in atopic dermatitis (Pellerin et al., 2013), and heterozygous non-sense mutations of its gene are associated with a more persistent form of the disease in Afro-American populations (Margolis et al., 2014). Homozygous mutations of its gene are responsible for a rare skin disease called peeling skin syndrome type A (Bolling et al., 2018; Mohamad et al., 2018). However, the exact role of FLG2, a multi-domain protein, is not well known. Its COOH-tail exhibits anti-microbial activity (Hansmann et al., 2015), whereas its B domain is suspected to be involved in the hydration of the upper part of the epidermis, the cornified layer. Here, on the basis of immunological, global proteomics and in vitro enzymatic analysis we demonstrated that its amino-terminal domain is cross-linked to the cornified envelope, a pericellular resistant structure that replaces the plasma membrane during the last step of keratinocyte differentiation. In addition, depletion of FLG2 in reconstructed 3D human epidermis induced a marked fragility of cornified envelopes. These data suggest that FLG2 is important for proper mechanical strength of the cornified layer. They may explain the epidermal fragility observed in peeling skin syndrome type A patients.

Project description:Ageing compromises the mechanical properties of skin, with increased fragility and coincident slowing of the healing process making aged skin susceptible to chronic wounding. The ageing process is driven by an aggregation of damage to cells and extracellular matrix, compounded by regulatory changes, including age-associated hormonal dysregulation. Here we report on the correlation between mechanical properties and composition of skin from ovariectomised and chronologically aged mice, to assess the extent to which estrogen deprivation drives dermal ageing. We found that age and estrogen abrogation affected skin mechanical properties in contrasting ways: ageing lead to increased tensile strength and stiffness while estrogen deprivation had the opposite effect. Mass spectrometry proteomics showed that the quantity of extractable fibrillar collagen-I decreased with ageing, but no change was observed in ovariectomised mice. This observation, in combination with measurements of tensile strength, was interpreted to reflect changes to the extent of extracellular matrix crosslinking, supported by a significant increase in the staining of advanced glycation endpoints in aged skin. Loss of mechanical strength in the ovariectomy model was consistent with a loss of elastic fibres. Other changes in extracellular matrix composition broadly correlated between aged and ovariectomised mice, indicative of the role of estrogen-related pathways in ageing. This study offers a coherent picture of the relationship between tissue composition and mechanics, but suggests that the deleterious effects of intrinsic skin ageing are compounded by factors beyond hormonal dysregulation.
