Ablation of casein kinase 1 in keratinocytes induces p53-dependent hyperpigmentation of the skin
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: To characterize the role of CK1 (encoded by Csnk1a1) in skin physiology, we crossed mice with floxed Csnk1a1 with mice expressing K14CreERT2 to generate mice in which tamoxifen induces the deletion of Csnk1a1 exclusively in keratinocytes (SKO). In addition, we established K14CreERT2 CK1/p53 double-knockout (DKO) to analyze the effect of coablation of both genes. 4-hydroxy-Tamoxifen was applied for 14 days to induce the deletion of CK1 and/or p53 in the epidermis of the mice. In addition, wild type mice where exposed to UVB irradiation to compare the effect of CK1a ablation with the effects of normal UV exposure. In comparison, we analyzed also wild type mice as reference. RNA was obtained from cells derived from mouse ear dorsal-epidermis and tail skin. Subsequently, we performed RNA sequencing and transcriptome analysis.
