Project description:Prurigo nodularis is a debilitating skin condition that is characterized by chronic itch and a prolonged scratching behavior. Little is known of the underlying molecular mechanisms that initiate and maintain the desease. Therefore, we analyzed gene expression in prurigo patients and matched healthy controls.

Project description:Prurigo nodularis (PN) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by symmetrically distributed, intensely pruritic nodules of unknown etiology and unmet therapeutic need. The lack of approved therapies and the limited efficacy of off-label treatments reflect the current poor understanding of its pathogenesis. We aimed to comprehensively characterize the phenotypic variation of CD3+ T cells and asses cell-specific gene expression in the lesional skin of patients with PN versus in patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) and in healthy controls (HC). To this end, single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-Seq) using 10x Genomics was carried out to compare CD3+ T cells transcriptomic heterogeneity between lesional samples of PN (n=6), AD (n=5) and HC (n=5).

Project description:Prurigo nodularis (PN) is a chronic neuroimmune skin disease characterized by bilaterally distributed pruritic hyperkeratotic nodules on extremities and trunk. Neuroimmune dysregulation and chronic scratching are believed to both induce and maintain the characteristic lesions. This study sought to provide a comprehensive view of the molecular pathogenesis of PN at the single-cell level to identify and outline key pathologic processes and the cell types involved. Features that distinguish PN skin from the skin of patients with atopic dermatitis were of particular interest. We further aimed to determine the impact of the IL31RA antagonist, nemolizumab, and its specificity at the single-cell level.

Project description:Prurigo nodularis (PN) is an intensely pruritic, inflammatory skin disease with a poorly understood pathogenesis. Thus, we performed single-cell transcriptomic profiling of 28,695 lesional and non-lesional PN cells. Lesional PN has increased dysregulated fibroblasts (FBs) and myofibroblasts. FBs in lesional PN were shifted towards a cancer-associated fibroblast (CAF)-like phenotype, with POSTN+WNT5A+ CAFs increased in PN, and similarly so in squamous cell carcinoma. A multi-center cohort study revealed an increased risk of SCC and CAF-associated malignancies (breast and colorectal) in PN patients. Systemic fibroproliferative diseases (renal sclerosis and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis) were upregulated in PN patients. Ligand receptor analyses demonstrated a fibroblast neuronal axis with FB-derived WNT5A and periostin interactions with neuronal receptors MCAM and ITGAV. Compared to atopic dermatitis and psoriasis, mesenchymal dysregulation is unique to PN with an intermediate Th2/Th17 phenotype. These findings identify a pathogenic and targetable POSTN+WNT5A+ fibroblast subpopulation that may predispose CAF-associated malignancies in PN patients.

Project description:BackgroundPrurigo nodularis (PN) is a highly pruritic, chronic dermatosis and difficult to treat. PN lesions are characterized by existence of many hyperkeratotic, erosive papules and nodules. However, the pathogenesis of PN still remains unelucidated.AimTo clarify the keratin role in the epidermis hyperproliferation, the keratin expression pattern in the PN lesional skin.MethodsIn this study, we enrolled 24 patients with PN and 9 healthy control volunteers. K1/K10, K5/K14, K6/K16/K17 expression pattern were investigated by using immunohistochemical staining.ResultsThe lesional skin consists of the thickened spinous layers, in which active cell division was found. K5/K14 were upregulated in PN lesional epidermis, the staining signal localized in the basal layer and lower suprabasal layers. Hyperproliferation-associated K6 was found in all layers of epidermal lesional skin, especially in the spinous layers. In contrast, K16 was only detected in the basal and lower suprabasal layers, K17 was observed in the basal and spinous layers. Terminal differential keratins K1/K10 were upregulated, detected in the pan-epidermis, but spared in the basal and low suprabasal layers.ConclusionThe keratinocytes enter an alternative differentiation pathway, which are responsible for the activated keratinocyte phenotype, abnormal keratins expression potentially contributes to the keratinocytes proliferation, subsequently lead to increased lesional skin epidermis thickness, hyperkeratiosis and alteration of skin barrier properties.
