Project description:Skin resident T cells provide immediate immunologic responses at their specific location and play a role in the pathogenesis of skin diseases such as psoriasis. Recently, IL-9-producing T cells were described as a major T-cell subtype present in the skin, but knowledge on the biology and in situ regulation of this T-cell subtype is scarce. Here, we investigated the cytokine influence on skin T cells with focus on IL-9-producing T cells because a better understanding of their biology may identify novel therapeutic approaches. Healthy human skin biopsies were cultured either in the presence of IL-2, IL-4, and TGF-β [T helper (Th)9-promoting condition (Th9-PC)] or IL-2 and IL-15 [standard condition (SC)]. Paired analysis of enzymatically isolated skin T cells and emigrated T cells after 4 wk of skin culture showed significant alterations of T-cell phenotypes, cytokine production, and IL-9-producing T-cell frequency. RNA sequencing analysis revealed differentially regulated pathways and identified CXCL8 and CXCL13 as top up-regulated genes in Th9-PC compared with SC. Functionally supernatant of stimulated skin-derived T cells, CXCL8 and CXCL13 increased neutrophil survival. We report that the cytokine environment alters skin-derived T-cell phenotype and functional properties.-Kienzl, P., Polacek, R., Reithofer, M., Reitermaier, R., Hagenbach, P., Tajpara, P., Vierhapper, M., Gschwandtner, M., Mildner, M.

Project description:Purpose: Determine new therapeutic targets for a refractory drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome/DRESS using single cell transcriptomic analysis. Methods: Skin cells were dissociated from skin biopsies of a patient with DRESS and 5 healthy volunteers using enzymatic digestion, then viable skin cells were sorted using flow cytometry. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated from peripheral blood using Ficoll-paque density separation. PBMCs were cultured with or without medications for 4 days. In detail, 200,000 PBMCs were cultivated in 200ul of RPMI-1640 supplemented with 10% human AB serum with (PBMC_T4_BACT) or without (PBMC_T4_CTRL) 48 ug/mL sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim (SMX-TMP). For the in vitro therapeutic experiments, PBMCs were cultured in the presence of SMX-TMP with (DRESS_Day4_TOFA) or without (DRESS_Day4_BACT) tofacitinib. The patient was treated with 10mg/d of tofacitinib, a JAK3 inhibitor. The freshly isolated PBMCs were collected again two weeks after initiation of intervention (PBMC_POST2W). Single cells from the skin, freshly isolated PBMCs, and culture PBMCs were captured using droplet based single-cell approach (10x Genomics) and library were prepared. Results: The lymphocytes in skin and PBMCs exhibited upregulation of skin-homing chemokine receptors, CCR4 and CCR10, and JAK3 and STAT1. Treatment with tofacitinib dramatically extinguished skin inflammation in a chronic refractory case of DiHS/DRESS. Conclusions: A successful intervention with tofacitinib in a refractory case of DiHS/DRESS was guided by the use of scRNAseq, which demonstrated aberrant activity in the JAK-STAT pathway.

Project description:Topical (epicutaneous, e.c.) application of the adjuvant CpG ODN during immunization leads to a robust immune response compared to when subcutaneous (s.c.) administration. Dendritic cells are hematopoietically derived cells that are important in cross-presenting to and activating CD8 T cells. Dermal dendritic cells are one of the two major dendritic cell subsets found in the skin which mobilize from the skin to draining lymph nodes to present to T cells upon activation. Dermal dendritic cells are found in skin draining lymph nodes around 24 hours post immunization. To determine how the immune system respond differently between e.c. versus s.c. administration of CpG ODN, we evaluated changes in the skin draining lymph node environment upon the two routes of adjuvant application. Expression chemokines and chemokine receptors were assessed with real-time qPCR. To determine the changes in the skin draining lymph node environment (cytokine and cytokine receptor levels) upon immunization via real time RT-PCR.

Project description:Purpose: To identify the gene expression and upstream regulator at lesional skin of psoriasis vulgaris Methods:Full-thickness skin biopsies at lesional skin and uninvolved skin were taken from psoriasis patients. Transcriptomic profiling was constructed by high-throughput next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology Result:The total of 1328 DEGs are identified. Among these 1328 DEGs, 648 were upregulated and 680 were down regulated . Upstream regulators involving in keratinocyte proliferation was predicted to be activated. These DEGs and upstream regulator may be associated with psoriasis pathogenesis Conclusion: This study revealed upstream regulator that may be involved in psoriasis pathogenesis

Project description:Transcriptome profiles of skin and feather follicle from two body parts at three physiological stages were constructed to understand the molecular network and excavate the candidate genes associated with the plumulaceous and flight feathers structure. The key series-clusters, many candidate biological processes and genes were identified for the morphogenesis, growth and development of two feather types. Through comparing the results of developmental transcritpomes from plumulaceous and flight feather, we found that DEGs belonging to the family of WNT, FGF and BMP have certain differences; even the consistent DEGs of skin and feather follicle transcriptomes from abdomen and wing have the different expression patterns.

Project description:Purpose: To determine the transcriptional differences between skin from patients with atopic dermatitis and control skin obtained from the healthy margins of Mohs surgery patients Methods: 4 mm skin biopsies of skin from atopic dermatitis patients or deidentified healthy margin surgical tissue were obtained and stored in RNA Later (-80C). Whole tissue RNA was isolated from tissue processed with a bead homogenizer using the QIAGEN RNeasy kit. Following DNase treatment (TurboDNase, Invitrogen), ribosomal RNA was removed (Ribo-zero kit, Illumina). mRNA was then fragmented in buffer containing 40 mM Tris acetate (pH 8.2), 100 mM potassium acetate, and 30 mM magnesium acetate and heated to 94C for 150 s. mRNA was reverse transcribed to yield cDNA using SuperScript III RT enzyme (Invitrogen, per manufacturer’s instructions) and random hexamers. A second strand reaction was performed to yield dscDNA. cDNA was blunt ended, had an A base added to the 30 ends, and then had Illumina sequencing adapters ligated to the ends. Ligated fragments were then amplified for 12 cycles using primers incorporating unique index tags. Fragments were sequenced on an Illumina HiSeq-3000 using single reads extending 50 bases. Samples were sequenced to an average depth of 32 million 1x50 reads on a HiSeq3000 (Illumina). Reads were aligned to Homo_sapiens reference build Ensembl_R76 using STAR, gene counts were determined with Subread:featureCount, transcript counts were produced by Sailfish, and sequence performance was assessed with RSeQC v2.3.
