MicroRNAs in normal and psoriatic skin.

ABSTRACT: Psoriasis is a chronic and common human skin disorder currently with no cure. Psoriatic skin displays inflammatory, raised, and scaly lesions with widely aberrant gene expression. Recent studies have revealed critical roles that microRNAs play as a class of posttranscriptional gene regulator in skin development and skin diseases. A substantial number of novel microRNAs have been identified in skin, and much has been learned about the dysregulated expression and functional roles of microRNAs in psoriasis, as well as the robustness and plasticity of microRNA-mediated gene expression regulation. Here we review recent progresses in discovery, profiling, and characterization of microRNAs in human psoriatic skin, discuss insights to their biological functions, and share our view on remaining challenges to be addressed.

Noncanonical microRNAs and endogenous siRNAs in normal and psoriatic human skin.

Project description:Noncanonical microRNAs (miRNAs) and endogenous small interfering RNAs (endo-siRNAs) are key gene regulators in eukaryotes. Noncanonical miRNAs, which bypass part of the canonical miRNA biogenesis pathway, can originate from a variety of genomic loci, which include small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs), transfer RNAs (tRNAs) and introns, whereas endo-siRNAs can arise from repetitive elements, some of which are transposable. The roles of noncanonical miRNAs and endo-siRNAs in complex diseases have yet to be characterized. To investigate their potential expression and function in psoriasis, we carried out a comprehensive, genome-wide search for noncanonical miRNAs and endo-siRNAs in small RNA deep-sequencing data sets from normal and psoriatic human skin. By analyzing more than 670 million qualified reads from 67 small RNA libraries, we identified 21 novel, noncanonical miRNAs (3 snoRNA-derived and 2 tRNA-derived miRNAs and 16 miRtrons) and 39 novel endo-siRNAs that were expressed in skin. The expression of four novel small RNAs was validated by qRT-PCR in human skin, and their Argonaute association was confirmed by co-immunoprecipitation of ectopic small RNAs in HEK293 cells. Fifteen noncanonical miRNAs or endo-siRNAs were significantly differentially expressed in psoriatic-involved versus normal skin, including an Alu-short interspersed element-derived siRNA which was 17-fold up-regulated in psoriatic-involved skin. These and other differentially expressed small noncoding RNAs may function as regulators of gene expression in skin and potentially play a role in psoriasis pathogenesis.

A subset of methylated CpG sites differentiate psoriatic from normal skin.

Project description:Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory immune-mediated disorder affecting the skin and other organs including joints. Over 1,300 transcripts are altered in psoriatic involved skin compared with normal skin. However, to our knowledge, global epigenetic profiling of psoriatic skin is previously unreported. Here, we describe a genome-wide study of altered CpG methylation in psoriatic skin. We determined the methylation levels at 27,578 CpG sites in skin samples from individuals with psoriasis (12 involved, 8 uninvolved) and 10 unaffected individuals. CpG methylation of involved skin differed from normal skin at 1,108 sites. Twelve mapped to the epidermal differentiation complex, upstream or within genes that are highly upregulated in psoriasis. Hierarchical clustering of 50 of the top differentially methylated (DM) sites separated psoriatic from normal skin samples with uninvolved skin exhibiting intermediate methylation. CpG sites where methylation was correlated with gene expression are reported. Sites with inverse correlations between methylation and nearby gene expression include those of KYNU, OAS2, S100A12, and SERPINB3, whose strong transcriptional upregulation is an important discriminator of psoriasis. Pyrosequencing of bisulfite-treated DNA from skin biopsies at three DM loci confirmed earlier findings and revealed reversion of methylation levels toward the non-psoriatic state after 1 month of anti-TNF-? therapy.

Gene Expression Profiling of MicroRNAs in HPV-Induced Warts and Normal Skin.

Project description:: Infection with the human papillomavirus (HPV) is a common occurrence among the global population, with millions of new cases emerging on an annual basis. Dysregulated microRNA (miRNA) expression is increasingly being identified to play a role in a number of different diseases, especially in the context of high-risk HPV infection. The present study investigated the miRNA expression profiles of warts induced by low-risk HPV. In warts, miR-27b, miR-24-1, miR-3654, miR-647, and miR-1914 were downregulated while miR-612 was upregulated compared to normal skin. Using miRTargetLink Human, experimentally supported evidence was obtained showing that miR-27b targeted the vascular endothelial growth factor C (VEGFC) and CAMP-responsive element binding protein 1 (CREB1) genes. The VEGFC and CREB1 genes have been reported to be involved in tumorigenesis and wart formation, respectively. Similarly, the oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor 1 (OLR1) gene, which plays an important role in the humoral immunity of the skin, and the plexin D1 (PLXND1) gene, which is highly expressed in tumor vasculature, were both found to be common targets of miR-27b, miR-1914, and miR-612.

Investigation of water bonding status of normal and psoriatic skin in vivo using diffuse reflectance spectroscopy.

Project description:Psoriasis affects more than 125 million people worldwide, and the diagnosis and treatment efficacy evaluation of the disease mainly rely on clinical assessments that could be subjective. Our previous study showed that the skin erythema level could be quantified using diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), and the hemoglobin concentration of most psoriatic lesion was higher than that of its adjacent uninvolved skin. While the compromised epidermal barrier function has been taken as the major cause of clinical manifestation of skin dryness and inflammation of psoriasis, very few methods can be used to effectively evaluate this function. In this study, we investigate the near infrared spectroscopic features of psoriatic (n = 21) and normal (n = 21) skin that could link to the epidermal barrier function. From the DRS measurements, it was found that the water bonding status and light scattering properties of psoriasis are significantly different from those of uninvolved or normal skin. The connection between these parameters to the epidermal barrier function and morphology will be discussed. Our results suggest that objective evaluation of epidermal barrier function of psoriasis could be achieved using a simple DRS system.

miR-155 Contributes to Normal Keratinocyte Differentiation and Is Upregulated in the Epidermis of Psoriatic Skin Lesions.

Project description:The role of microRNAs (miRNAs) during keratinocyte (KC) differentiation and in skin diseases with epidermal phenotypes has attracted strong interest over the past few years. However, combined mRNA and miRNA expression analyses to elucidate the intricate mRNA-miRNA networks of KCs at different stages of differentiation have not been performed yet. In the present study, we investigated the dynamics of miRNA and mRNA expression during KC differentiation in vitro and in normal and psoriatic epidermis. While we identified comparable numbers of up- and downregulated mRNAs (49% and 51%, respectively), miRNAs were predominantly upregulated (76% vs 24%) during KC differentiation. Further bioinformatics analyses suggested an important inhibitory role for miR-155 in KC differentiation, as it was repressed during KC differentiation in normal skin but strongly upregulated in the epidermis of psoriatic skin lesions. Mimicking the inflammatory milieu of psoriatic skin in vitro, we could show that the pro-inflammatory cytokines IL17, IL1β and INFγ synergistically upregulated miR-155 expression in KCs. Forced over-expression of miR-155 in human in vitro skin models specifically reduced the expression of loricrin (LOR) in KCs, indicating that miR-155 interferes with the establishment of a normal epidermal barrier. Together, our data indicate that downregulation of miR-155 during KC differentiation is a crucial step for epidermal barrier formation. Furthermore, its strong upregulation in psoriatic lesions suggests a contributing role of miR-155 in the altered keratinocyte differentiation observed in psoriasis. Therefore, miR-155 represents as a potential target for treating psoriatic skin lesions.

Small RNA Profiling of Lesional Psoriatic and Adjacent Normal Skin Tissues

Project description:Purpose: To identify the differentially expressed miRNA in lesional skin of psoriasis patients compared to adjacent normal tissue by Next Generation Sequencing. Methods: Small RNA isolated from 24 paired lesional and adjacent normal tissue sample and Next Generation Sequencing was performed. The sequences reads were trimmed of adapter sequences and quality trimmed using CutAdapt, followed by alignment to the human genome via 'Novoalign'. The aligned files were sorted based on chromosomal location and HTSeq-count was used to obtain the raw read counts for all known miRNAs. Differnetial expression analysis was performed with the raw reads using R-package 'edgeR'. MiRNA expression was quantified in tissue and serum by qRT-PCR method using SYBR-Green assay. Correlation analysis was done between miRNA expression in individual samples with their respective PASI scores to identify the miRNA associated with disease severity. Results: We identified 75 differentially expressed miRNA with at least 2-fold deregulation that were statistically significant. qRT-PCR validation showed approx 90% concordance with NGS data. Fold change of 4 miRNAs - miR-30b-5p, miR-7-1-3p, miR-33a-3p and miR-4742-3p were found to be asssociated with disease severity in psoriasis skin. Another miRNA let-7d-5p expression was found to be associated with disease severity in serum of HLA-Cw6 positive patients. Conclusions: Our study identified several unqiue deregulated miRNAs in psoriatric skin, which had not been previously reported. We also identified miRNA whose deregulated expression in psoriasis is associated with disease severity and the biological pathways through which they regulate disease pathogenesis.
