Stem cell competition orchestrates skin homeostasis and ageing

ABSTRACT: Stem cells underlie tissue homeostasis, but their dynamics during ageing—and the relevance of these dynamics to organ ageing—remain unknown. Here we report that the expression of the hemidesmosome component collagen XVII (COL17A1) by epidermal stem cells fluctuates physiologically through genomic/oxidative stress-induced proteolysis, and that the resulting differential expression of COL17A1 in individual stem cells generates a driving force for cell competition. In vivo clonal analysis in mice and in vitro 3D modelling show that clones that express high levels of COL17A1, which divide symmetrically, outcompete and eliminate adjacent stressed clones that express low levels of COL17A1, which divide asymmetrically. Stem cells with higher potential or quality are thus selected for homeostasis, but their eventual loss of COL17A1 limits their competition, thereby causing ageing. The resultant hemidesmosome fragility and stem cell delamination deplete adjacent melanocytes and fibroblasts to promote skin ageing. Conversely, the forced maintenance of COL17A1 rescues skin organ ageing, thereby indicating potential angles for anti-ageing therapeutic intervention.

Hair follicle aging is driven by transepidermal stem cell elimination via COL17A1 proteolysis

Project description:Hair loss is one of the typical aging phenotypes in mammals, yet the underlying mechanism(s) is unclear. Here we report that hair follicle stem cell (HFSC) aging causes the stepwise miniaturization of hair follicles and eventual hair loss both in wild-type mice and in humans. In vivo fate analysis of HFSCs revealed that the DNA damage response in HFSCs causes proteolysis of Type XVII Collagen (COL17A1/BP180) to trigger “HFSC aging”, characterized by their loss of stemness signature and epidermal commitment. Those aged HFSCs are cyclically eliminated from the skin through their terminal epidermal differentiation, thereby causing hair follicle miniaturization. That process can be recapitulated by Col17a1 deficiency and prevented by forced maintenance of COL17A1 in HFSCs, demonstrating that stem cell homeostasis is the keystone against ultimate execution of the tissue/organ aging program.

In vitro stimulation of mouse spleen cells by COL17A1

Project description:Tertiary lymphoid tissues (TLTs) are formed in systemic organs manifesting chronic inflammation. Herein, we found that the renal pelvis (RP) could form urinary tract-associated lymphoid tissues (UTALTs) in a TLT-formation manner in humans and mice with chronic kidney disease (CKD), regardless of infectious pyelonephritis. Furthermore, collagen type XVII alpha 1 chain (COL17A1), localized ectopically to the transitional epithelium (TE) covering the UTALT, where it participated in TE development via immunological stimulation of UTALT-forming cells.

Gene expression in Mob1DKO mouse lung

Project description:Mps One Binder Kinase Activator (MOB)1A/1B are core components of the Hippo pathway. These proteins, which coactivate LArge Tumor Suppressor homolog (LATS) kinases, are also tumor suppressors. To investigate MOB1A/B’s roles in normal physiology and lung cancer, we generated doxycycline (Dox)-inducible, bronchioalveolar epithelium–specific, null mutations of MOB1A/B in mice [SPC-rtTA/(tetO)7-Cre/Mob1aflox/flox/Mob1b-/-; termed luMob1DKO) mice]. Most mutants (70%) receiving Dox in utero [luMob1DKO (E6.5-18.5) mice] died of hypoxia within 1hr post-birth. Their alveolar epithelial cells showed increased proliferation, impaired YAP1/TAZ-dependent differentiation, and decreased surfactant protein production, all features characteristic of human respiratory distress syndrome　(RDS). Intriguingly, mutant mice that received Dox postnatally [luMob1DKO (P21–41) mice] did not develop spontaneous lung adenocarcinomas, and urethane treatment-induced lung tumor formation was decreased (rather than increased). Lungs of luMob1DKO (P21–41) mice exhibited increased detachment of bronchiolar epithelial cells and decreased numbers of the bronchioalveolar stem cells (BASCs) thought to initiate lung adenocarcinomas. YAP1/TAZ-NKX2.1-dependent expression of collagen XVII, a key hemidesmosome component, was also reduced. Thus, a MOB1-YAP1/TAZ-NKX2.1 axis is essential for normal lung homeostasis and expression of the collagen XVII protein necessary for alveolar stem cell maintenance in the lung niche.

Distinct types of stem cell divisions determine organ regeneration and aging in hair follicles

Project description:Aging organs functionally and structurally decline with the loss of their regenerative capabilities, yet the existence of distinct cell division programs that determine organ fates is unknown. Hair follicles, mammalian mini-organs that grow hair, miniaturize by aging. Here we report that hair follicle regeneration and aging are driven by distinct cell division types of hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs). Cell fate tracing and cell division axis analysis in mice revealed that HFSCs undergo symmetric and asymmetric cell divisions to generate a new bulge, yet preferentially provoke “stress-responsive type” asymmetric cell divisions that generate aberrantly differentiating cells upon age/stress. That dynamic program with repetitive divisions efficiently eradicates those cells through defective association and stabilization of a hemidesmosomal protein COL17A1 and a cell-polarity-protein aPKCλ in HFSCs, thereby causing organ aging. The forced stabilization of COL17A1 rescued organ aging through aPKCλ stabilization. These results demonstrate that distinct cell division programs govern tissue/organ fates.

In Vivo Profiling of Leukemic Stem Cell Fitness

Project description:By transplanting in competition multiple pre-leukemic clones in a cohort of primary recipients, we observed emergence of dominant clones during the development of AML. By sampling “winner” clones at different time points, we could observe the gradual acquisition a of cell-intrinsic growth advantage that was preserved in secondary transplantation, whereas control “loser” clones grew at a significantly lower rate. Functional characterization of the winner clones demonstrated a higher engraftment rate in vivo, whereas the self-renewal potential and growth rate in vitro was similar among winner and loser clones. By comparing the gene expression profile of leukemic stem cells isolated from various clones, we observed that the most aggressive clones share a common signature characterized by activation of multiple metabolic pathways, such as steroid biosynthesis and response to oxidative stress.

Multi-omics approach to identify age-related changes in mesenchymal stem cells

Project description:Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) are bone-marrow derived cells, capable of multipotent differentiation into connective tissues including bone, tendon and cartilage. They are an attractive source for autologous cell-based treatments for a range of clinical diseases and injuries. MSCs have been demonstrated to possess an age-related loss of cellular functions including differentiation potential and proliferation capacity; with implications for stem cell therapies in older patients. Furthermore the reduction in differentiation potential could contribute to ageing and age-related disease. Biological aging is coupled with a progressive reduction in the regulation of cellular, tissue and organ interaction, resulting in senescence. The purpose of this study was to investigate the epigenetic, RNA and protein changes in ageing MSCs in order to understand the age-related functional and biological changes required for their applications in regenerative medicine.

Identifying genetic determinants needed to establish a human gut symbiont in its habitat

Project description:The human gut microbiota is a metabolic organ whose cellular composition is determined by a dynamic process of selection and competition. To identify microbial genes required for establishment of human symbionts in the gut, we developed an approach (insertion-sequencing, or INSeq) based on a mutagenic transposon that allows capture of adjacent chromosomal DNA to define its genomic location. We used massively parallel sequencing to monitor the relative abundance of tens of thousands of transposon mutants of a saccharolytic human gut bacterium, Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, as they established themselves in wild-type and immunodeficient gnotobiotic mice, in the presence or absence of other human gut commensals. In vivo selection transforms this population, revealing functions necessary for survival in the gut: we show how this selection is influenced by community composition and competition for nutrients (vitamin B12). INSeq provides a broadly applicable platform to explore microbial adaptation to the gut and other ecosystems. Keywords: Other 57 samples analyzed, 1 of these is the reference (input) sample

Competition shapes the landscape of X-linked genetic diversity [ChIP-seq]

Project description:Human populations harbour sequence variants even within essential genes. As a result of random X chromosome inactivation (XCI) and epigenetically stable XCI propagation, X-linked variation gives rise to genetically diverse clones that co-exist within XX individuals. Whether interactions between such clones shape the deployment of X-linked diversity remains to be explored. To address this question, we focus on benign coding variation in the X-linked STAG2 gene. Mouse models reveal that clones expressing Stag2 variants contribute to tissues such as skin and brain at the expected frequencies, but show reduced contributions to the haematopoietic stem and progenitor cell pool, and severely defective lymphoid specification. Unexpectedly, the absence of Xvariant clones from the lymphoid compartment is due not to cell-intrinsic defects, but requires competitive interactions with Xwt clones: in the absence of Xwt, Xvariant cells generate normal numbers of functional lymphocytes. X-linked competition has hallmarks of non-cell-autonomous 'cell competition', known to operate in a range of biological processes including embryonic development, aging, and cancer. These findings show that interactions between genetically diverse clones that may operate in any XX individual can shape the contribution of X-linked diversity to specific cell types and tissues.
