Reprogramming and Differentiation of Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma Cells in Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa.


ABSTRACT: The early onset and rapid progression of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) leads to high mortality rates in individuals with recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB). Currently, the molecular mechanisms underlying cSCC development in RDEB are not well understood and there are limited therapeutic options. RDEB-cSCC arises through the accumulation of genetic mutations; however, previous work analyzing gene expression profiles have not been able to explain its aggressive nature. Therefore, we generated a model to study RDEB-cSCC development using cellular reprograming and re-differentiation technology. We compared RDEB-cSCC to cSCC that were first reprogrammed into induced pluripotent stem cells (RDEB-cSCC-iPSC) and then differentiated back to keratinocytes (RDEB-cSCC-iKC). The RDEB-cSCC-iKC cell population had reduced proliferative capacities in vitro and in vivo, suggesting that reprogramming and re-differentiation leads to functional changes. Finally, we performed RNA-seq analysis for RDEB-cSCC, RDEB-cSCC-iPSC, and RDEB-cSCC-iKC and identified different gene expression signatures between these cell populations. Taken together, this cell culture model offers a valuable tool to study cSCC and provides a novel way to identify potential therapeutic targets for RDEB-cSCC.
