Role of dermatopontin in re-epithelialization: implications on keratinocyte migration and proliferation.

ABSTRACT: Re-epithelialization is a key event in wound healing and any impairment in that process is associated with various pathological conditions. Epidermal keratinocyte migration and proliferation during re-epithelialization is largely regulated by the cytokines and growth factors from the provisional matrix and dermis. Extracellular matrix consists of numerous growth factors which mediate cell migration via cell membrane receptors. Dermatopontin (DPT), a non-collagenous matrix protein highly expressed in dermis is known for its striking ability to promote cell adhesion. DPT also enhances the biological activity of transforming growth factor beta 1 which plays a central role in the process of wound healing. This study was designed to envisage the role of DPT in keratinocyte migration and proliferation along with its mRNA and protein expression pattern in epidermis. The results showed that DPT promotes keratinocyte migration in a dose dependant fashion but fail to induce proliferation. Further, PCR and immunodetection studies revealed that the mRNA and protein expression of DPT is considerably negligible in the epidermis in contrast to the dermis. To conclude, DPT has a profound role in wound healing specifically during re-epithelialization by promoting keratinocyte migration via paracrine action from the underlying dermis.

miR-21 promotes keratinocyte migration and re-epithelialization during wound healing.

Project description:MicroRNAs involved in keratinocyte migration and wound healing are largely unknown. Here, we revealed the indispensable role of miR-21 in keratinocyte migration and in re-epithelialization during wound healing in mice. In HaCaT cell, miR-21 could be upregulated by TGF-?1. Similar to the effect of TGF-?1, miR-21 overexpression promoted keratinocyte migration. Conversely, miR-21 knockdown attenuated TGF-?1-induced keratinocyte migration, suggesting that miR-21 was essential for TGF-?-driven keratinocyte migration. Furthermore, we found that miR-21 was upregulated during wound healing, coincident with the temporal expression pattern of TGF-?1. Consistently, knockdown of endogenous miR-21 using a specific antagomir dramatically delayed re-epithelialization possibly due to the reduced keratinocyte migration. TIMP3 and TIAM1, direct targets of miR-21, were verified to be regulated by miR-21 in vitro and in vivo, indicating that these two molecules might contribute to miR-21-induced keratinocyte migration. Taken together, our results demonstrate that miR-21 promotes keratinocyte migration and boosts re-epithelialization during skin wound healing.

Stathmin regulates keratinocyte proliferation and migration during cutaneous regeneration.

Project description:Cutaneous regeneration utilizes paracrine feedback mechanisms to fine-tune the regulation of epidermal keratinocyte proliferation and migration. However, it is unknown how fibroblast-derived hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) affects these mutually exclusive processes in distinct cell populations. We here show that HGF stimulates the expression and phosphorylation of the microtubule-destabilizing factor stathmin in primary human keratinocytes. Quantitative single cell- and cell population-based analyses revealed that basal stathmin levels are important for the migratory ability of keratinocytes in vitro; however, its expression is moderately induced in the migration tongue of mouse skin or organotypic multi-layered keratinocyte 3D cultures after full-thickness wounding. In contrast, clearly elevated stathmin expression is detectable in hyperproliferative epidermal areas. In vitro, stathmin silencing significantly reduced keratinocyte proliferation. Automated quantitative and time-resolved analyses in organotypic cocultures demonstrated a high correlation between Stathmin/phospho-Stathmin and Ki67 positivity in epidermal regions with proliferative activity. Thus, activation of stathmin may stimulate keratinocyte proliferation, while basal stathmin levels are sufficient for keratinocyte migration during cutaneous regeneration.

Microtubule-associated protein 4 phosphorylation regulates epidermal keratinocyte migration and proliferation.

Project description:Both cell migration and proliferation are indispensable parts of reepithelialization during skin wound healing, which is a complex process for which the underlying molecular mechanisms are largely unknown. Here, we identify a novel role for microtubule-associated protein 4 (MAP4), a cytosolic microtubule-binding protein that regulates microtubule dynamics through phosphorylation modification, as a critical regulator of epidermal wound repair. We showed that MAP4 phosphorylation was induced in skin wounds. In an aberrant phosphorylated MAP4 mouse model, hyperphosphorylation of MAP4 (S737 and S760) accelerated keratinocyte migration and proliferation and skin wound healing. Data from both primary cultured keratinocytes and HaCaT cells in vitro revealed the same results. The promigration and proproliferation effects of MAP4 phosphorylation depended on microtubule rearrangement and could be abolished by MAP4 dephosphorylation. We also identified p38/MAPK as an upstream regulator of MAP4 phosphorylation in keratinocytes. Our findings provide new insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying wound-associated keratinocyte migration and proliferation and identify potential targets for the remediation of defective wound healing.

Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG Lysate Increases Re-Epithelialization of Keratinocyte Scratch Assays by Promoting Migration.

Project description:A limited number of studies have investigated the potential of probiotics to promote wound healing in the digestive tract. The aim of the current investigation was to determine whether probiotic bacteria or their extracts could be beneficial in cutaneous wound healing. A keratinocyte monolayer scratch assay was used to assess re-epithelialization; which comprises keratinocyte proliferation and migration. Primary human keratinocyte monolayers were scratched then exposed to lysates of Lactobacillus (L) rhamnosus GG, L. reuteri, L. plantarum or L. fermentum. Re-epithelialization of treated monolayers was compared to that of untreated controls. Lysates of L. rhamnosus GG and L. reuteri significantly increased the rate of re-epithelialization, with L. rhamnosus GG being the most efficacious. L. reuteri increased keratinocyte proliferation while L. rhamnosus GG lysate significantly increased proliferation and migration. Microarray analysis of L. rhamnosus GG treated scratches showed increased expression of multiple genes including the chemokine CXCL2 and its receptor CXCR2. These are involved in normal wound healing where they stimulate keratinocyte proliferation and/or migration. Increased protein expression of both CXCL2 and CXCR2 were confirmed by ELISA and immunoblotting. These data demonstrate that L. rhamnosus GG lysate accelerates re-epithelialization of keratinocyte scratch assays, potentially via chemokine receptor pairs that induce keratinocyte migration.

Extracellular matrix-derived tripeptide proline-glycine-proline inhibits keratinocyte proliferation and migration.

Project description:Keratinocytes are the predominant cell type in epidermis, and are primarily responsible for the epithelialization phase of wound healing. Previous studies by our group showed a positive correlation between IL-8 concentration and delayed healing of porcine cutaneous partial-thickness wounds. Interleukin-8 and collagen-breakdown product N-acetyl-Pro-Gly-Pro (PGP) are known as chemoattractant molecules for neutrophils during inflammation. The activity of both molecules is dependent on chemokine receptors CXCR1 and CXCR2. In addition to neutrophils, keratinocytes also express CXCR1 and CXCR2. Here we investigated the effects of IL-8 and PGP on keratinocyte proliferation and migration. Our results showed that IL-8 up to 100?ng/mL does not have any significant impact on keratinocyte proliferation or migration. ECM-derived tripeptide PGP chemotactically attracts neutrophils but not keratinocytes. PGP strongly inhibits keratinocyte proliferation and migration in a cell-type specific manner. Thus, collagen breakdown product PGP plays a key role in modulating both the inflammatory and epithelialization phases of wound healing.

Non-invasive electric magnetic fields: Effects on keratinocyte migration and proliferation

Project description:Although evidence has shown that very small electric currents produce a beneficial therapeutic result for wounds, non-invasive EMF therapy has consisted mostly of anecdotal clinical reports with very few well controlled laboratory mechanistic studies. In this study, we evaluated the effects and potential mechanisms of a non-invasive EMF device on skin wound repair. In vitro analyses with human skin keratinocyte cultures demonstrated that the non-invasive EMF has a very strong effect on accelerating keratinocyte migration and a relatively weaker effect on promoting keratinocyte proliferation. The positive effects of the non-invasive EMF on cell migration and proliferation seem keratinocyte specific without such effects seen on dermal fibroblasts. cDNA microarray and RT-PCR performed revealed increased expression of CRK7 and HOXC8 genes in treated keratinocytes. This study suggests that a non-invasive electric magnetic field accelerates wound reepithelialization through a mechanism of promoting keratinocyte migration and proliferation, possibly due to upregulation of CRK7 and HOXC8 genes.

Circular RNA hsa_circ_0084443 Is Upregulated in Diabetic Foot Ulcer and Modulates Keratinocyte Migration and Proliferation.

Project description:Objective: Insufficient knowledge about the molecular pathology of diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) impedes the development of effective wound treatment. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a novel class of RNA recently discovered to be widely expressed and have important biological functions; however, their role in skin wound healing remains largely unexplored. In this study, we investigated the role of circRNAs in DFU. Approach: CircRNA expression was profiled in normal wounds (NWs) and DFUs by microarray analysis, and hsa_circ_0084443 was identified as differentially expressed. The circularity and subcellular localization of hsa_circ_0084443 were characterized by northern blotting, real-time PCR, and fluorescence in situ hybridization. Cell migration, cell growth, and the transcriptome of human primary keratinocytes were analyzed after overexpression or RNA interference of hsa_circ_0084443. Results: hsa_circ_0084443 is downregulated in NWs compared with intact skin, and its level is higher in DFUs than NWs. We confirmed its circularity and presence in the cytoplasm of human epidermal keratinocytes. We showed that hsa_circ_0084443 reduced motility while enhancing the growth of keratinocytes. Furthermore, we identified a gene network with the potential to mediate the biological effect of hsa_circ_0084443. Innovation: CircRNAs have a functional role and a potential clinical significance in skin wound healing. Conclusions: We identified hsa_circ_0084443, a circRNA downregulated during NW healing, as a negative regulator of keratinocyte migration. Higher levels of hsa_circ_0084443 were detected in DFU samples, suggesting that it plays a role in pathology. These findings pave the way to understanding the functional role of circRNAs in human skin wound healing.

Bone morphogenetic protein signaling suppresses wound-induced skin repair by inhibiting keratinocyte proliferation and migration.

Project description:Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling plays a key role in the control of skin development and postnatal remodeling by regulating keratinocyte proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. To study the role of BMPs in wound-induced epidermal repair, we used transgenic mice overexpressing the BMP downstream component Smad1 under the control of a K14 promoter as an in vivo model, as well as ex vivo and in vitro assays. K14-caSmad1 (transgenic mice overexpressing a constitutively active form of Smad1 under K14 promoter) mice exhibited retarded wound healing associated with significant inhibition of proliferation and increased apoptosis in healing wound epithelium. Furthermore, microarray and quantitative real-time reverse-transcriptase-PCR (qRT-PCR) analyses revealed decreased expression of a number of cytoskeletal/cell motility-associated genes including wound-associated keratins (Krt16, Krt17) and Myosin VA (Myo5a), in the epidermis of K14-caSmad1 mice versus wild-type (WT) controls during wound healing. BMP treatment significantly inhibited keratinocyte migration ex vivo, and primary keratinocytes of K14-caSmad1 mice showed retarded migration compared with WT controls. Finally, small interfering RNA (siRNA)-mediated silencing of BMPR-1B in primary mouse keratinocytes accelerated cell migration and was associated with increased expression of Krt16, Krt17, and Myo5a compared with controls. Thus, this study demonstrates that BMPs inhibit keratinocyte proliferation, cytoskeletal organization, and migration in regenerating skin epithelium during wound healing, and raises a possibility for using BMP antagonists for the management of chronic wounds.

The miR-93-3p/ZFP36L1/ZFX axis regulates keratinocyte proliferation and migration during skin wound healing.

Project description:Keratinocyte proliferation and migration are crucial steps during skin wound healing. The functional role of microRNAs (miRs) remains relatively unknown during this process. miR-93 levels have been reported to increase within 24 h of skin wound healing; however, whether miR-93-3p or miR-93-5p plays a specific role in wound healing is yet to be studied. In this study, with the use of an in vivo mouse skin wound-healing model, we demonstrate that miR-93-3p is significantly upregulated, whereas there is no change in the expression of miR-93-5p during skin wound healing. In HaCaT cells, miR-93-3p overexpression increased proliferation and migration of the cells, whereas miR-93-3p inhibition had the reverse effect. Additionally, it was evident that ZFP36L1 was a direct target of miR-93-3p in keratinocytes. Further, ZFP36L1 silencing mirrored the consequences observed during miR-93-3p overexpression on both proliferation and migration of keratinocytes. In addition, we demonstrate that zinc-finger X-linked (ZFX), as a target for ZFP36L1, is involved in the promotion of the miR-93-3p/ZFP36L1 axis in keratinocyte proliferation and migration. Ultimately, we found that mouse skin wound model treatment with anti-miR-93-3p delayed wound healing. Overall, our results show that miR-93-3p is a crucial regulator of skin wound healing that facilitates keratinocyte proliferation and migration through ZFP36L1/ZFX axis.
