Project description:Purpose: To unravel the molecular heterogeneity of distinct epidermal populations in interfollicular epidermis (IFE) in vivo Methods: We performed bulk RNA sequencing of FACS purified basal (Sca1+/alpha6-integrin+) IFE cells enriched in Slc1a3/Dlx1/Aspm CreER marked lineages. We used >10000 tdTomato+/Sca1+/α6-int+ (basal) cells from both back and tail skin at 2-weeks post TM induction from each of four CreER mouse lines and normalized them to Sca1+/α6-int+ sorted from the same mouse. Extracted RNA of high quality and low input was processed for library preparation followed by Illumina seq on HiSeq4000. The raw sample-specific FASTQ files were trimmed and mapped to the reference genome/transcriptome (mouse/mm10) and DESeq2 v1.26.0 were used to generate normalized counts and statistical analysis of differential gene expression.

Project description:We report global transcriptional profiles of epidermal basal cells from plantar skin of control mice, high fat diet-fed (HFD) mice and aged mice. By RNA-sequencing of FACS-isolated interfollicular epidermal (IFE) basal cells, we revealed that calcium signal-associated genes, which regulate differentiatin of keratinocytes,were enriched in the plantar skin of HFD and aged mice.

Project description:To assess if Hedgehog (Hh) responding cells in the skin have a unique expression profile, isolated keratinocytes that express the Hh response gene Gli1 were collected by FACS and their gene expression was compared to sorted CD34-expressing cells from the middle bulge region of the hair follicle and to cells from the interfollicular epidermis (IFE) by hybridization of isolated RNA to gene expression microarrays. Dissociated keratinocytes isolated form back skin of Gli1-eGFP/+ mice (2 mice pooled for each replicate) in adult telogen were sorted based on GFP expression and immunostaining for CD34. Only viable, single cells with immunostaining for α6 Integrin (to mark basal keratinocytes) were collected. GFP(+) cells were collected as the Gli1 cohort. GFP(-) CD34(+) cells were collected as the CD34 cohort, and GFP(-) CD34(-) cells were collected as interfollicular epidermis (IFE) cohort. Total RNA was extracted from each cell population and labeled for hybridization to gene expression microarrays. The experiment was preformed in triplicate, however RNA from the Gli1(+) cells in one replicate was of insufficient quality to analyze. For staining of isolated keratinocytes, cells were incubated on ice for 1 hour in SMEM containing 1%BSA and 15μL of anti-CD49f-PE antibody (BDBioscience) plus 5μL anti-CD34-APC antibody (eBioscience) for each 100μL total volume for each 2 million cells. Immediately prior to sorting, DAPI (Invitrogen) was added to the washed cells at 1μg/mL final concentration.

Project description:Merkel cells (MCs), specialized neuroendocrine touch sensors within the epidermis, play a crucial role in tactile sensation. To gain deeper insignts into their molecular characteristics, we employed RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) to explore the transcriptome of MCs in comparsion to basal keratinocytes in neonatal mouse skin.

Project description:Mouse back skin was disassociated to single cells, sorted by cell surface markers and tested by microarrray To compare the gene expression of mouse bulge (CD34+CD200+CD49+) versus secondary hair germ (CD34-CD200+CD49+) versus interfollicular epidermis (CD34-CD200-CD49+) xx Bald scalp retains hair follicle stem cells but lacks CD200-rich and CD34-positive hair follicle progenitor cells Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) or common baldness results from a marked decrease in hair follicle size. This miniaturization may be related to loss of hair follicle stem or progenitor cells. To test this hypothesis, we analyzed bald and non-bald scalp from the same individuals for the presence of hair follicle stem and progenitor cells using flow cytometry to quantitate cells expressing CYTOKERATIN 15 (KRT15), CD200, CD34 and ALPHA-6-INTEGRIN (ITGA6). High levels of KRT15 expression correlated with stem cell properties of small cell size and quiescence. Cells with the highest level of KRT15 expression were maintained in bald scalp; however, distinct populations of CD200high ITGA6high cells and CD34-positive cells were markedly diminished. Consistent with a progenitor cell phenotype, the diminished populations localized closely to the stem-cell rich bulge area but were larger and more proliferative than the bulge stem cells. In functional assays, analogous CD200 high /Itga6 high cells from murine hair follicles were multipotent and generated new hair follicles in skin reconstitution assays. These findings suggest that a defect in stem cell activation plays a role in the pathogenesis of AGA. 4 independent biologic replicates (each pooled from 3 distinct mice) were sorted for Mouse bulge (CD34+CD200+CD49+) versus secondary hair germ (CD34-CD200+CD49+) versus interfollicular epidermis (CD34-CD200-CD49+)

Project description:The skin interfollicular epidermis (IFE) is the first barrier against the external environment and its maintenance is critical for survival. Two seemingly opposite theories have been proposed to explain IFE homeostasis. One posits that IFE is maintained by a long-lived slow-cycling stem cell (SC) population that give rise to short-lived transit-amplifying (TA) cell progeny, while the other suggests that homeostasis is achieved by a single committed progenitor (CP) that balances stochastic fate. Here, we probed the cellular heterogeneity within the IFE using two different inducible CREER targeting IFE progenitors. Quantitative analysis of clonal fate data and proliferation dynamics demonstrate the existence of two distinct proliferative cell compartments composed of slow-cycling SC and CP, both of which undergo population asymmetric self-renewal. However, following wounding, only SCs contribute substantially to the repair and long-term regeneration of the tissue, while CP cells make a minimal and transient contribution. Transcriptional profile of InvCREER/RosaYFP and K14CREER/RosaYFP targeted FACS-isolated alpha6 integrin-high CD34-neg basal cells from mouse tail epidermis. Skin epidermis was removed from tail bone and incubated overnight in HBSS (Gibco) 0.25% trypsin (Gibco) at 4M-BM-0C. Epidermis was separated from the dermis and incubated on a rocking plate (100 rpm) at room temperature for 5 min. Basal cells were mechanically separated from the epidermis by flushing 10 times under the epidermis. Tissues were then cut in pieces of 1 mm2 with scalpel, and trypsin was neutralized by adding DMEM medium (Gibco) supplemented with 2% Chelex Fetal Calf Serum (FCS). Samples were filtrated on 70 and 40M-BM-5m filter (Falcon). Immunostaining was performed using biotin-conjugated anti-CD34 (clone RAM34; BD Biosciences) PE-conjugated anti-M-NM-16-integrin (clone GoH3; BD biosciences). Primary antibodies were washed with 2% FCS/PBS and cells were incubated for 30 min in APC conjugated streptavidin (BD Biosciences) secondary antibodies, on ice, with shaking every 10 min. Living K14- and involucrin-expressing epidermal cells were gated by forward scatter, side scatter, negative staining for Hoechst dye and by following the YFP signal. Basal cells from the interfollicular epidermis were targeted using CD34 negative alpha 6 high gating. Fluorescence-activated cell sorting analysis was performed using FACSAria I at high pressure (70 psi) and FACSDiva software (BD Biosciences). Sorted cells were harvested directly in the lysis buffer provided by the RNeasy microkit (QIAGEN) supplemented with 1M-BM-5l of beta-mercaptoethanol for every 100M-BM-5l of lysis buffer. RNA extraction was performed on freshly sorted cells according to the manufacturerM-bM-^@M-^Ys protocol.
