Functional stem cell aging dictated by skin tissue microenvironment

ABSTRACT: Organismal aging in mammals is manifested with architectural alteration and functional decline of multiple organs throughout the body. In aged skin, hairs are sparse, which has led to the hypothesis that the hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs) undergo epidermal differentiation during aging. Here, we employ single cell analysis to interrogate aging-related changes in the HFSCs. Unexpectedly, HFSCs maintain their lineage fidelity and show no signs of shifting to an epidermal fate. Despite maintaining lineage identity, HFSCs do show prevalent transcriptional changes in extracellular matrix genes. Of importance, these HFSC changes are accompanied by profound architectural perturbations in the aging stem cell niche. Upon surveying the dermis from young and aged skin, we also observe age-related changes in many non-epithelial cell types, including resident immune cells, sensory neurons, arrector pili muscles, and blood vessels – all of which have been previously associated with abilities to modulate hair follicle regeneration. Consistent with both intrinsic and extrinsic alterations in stem cell: niche communications, we find that in response to skin wounding, aged HFSCs repair the epidermis, but are defective in hair follicle regeneration. Intriguingly, whereas aged dermis cannot support young HFSCs, aged HFSCs can be rescued when supported by young dermis. Together, these findings favor a model where skin tissue microenvironment plays a dominant role in dictating the molecular properties and activities of HFSCs.

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.

Niche stiffening compromises stem cell potential during aging by reducing chromatin accessibility at bivalent promoters

Project description:Tissue homeostasis and regeneration require activation and subsequent lineage commitment of tissue-resident stem cells (SCs). These state changes are controlled by epigenetic barriers. Using hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs) as paradigm, we studied how aging impacts the chromatin landscape and function of mammalian SCs. Analyses of genome-wide chromatin accessibility revealed that aged HFSCs displayed widespread reduction of chromatin accessibility specifically at key SC self-renewal and differentiation genes that were characterized by bivalent promoters carrying both activating and repressive chromatin marks. Consistently, aged HFSCs showed reduced self-renewing capacity and attenuated ability to activate expression of these bivalent genes upon regeneration. These functional defects were niche-dependent as transplantation of aged HFSCs into young recipients or into ex vivo niches restored SC functions and transcription of poised genes. Mechanistically, aged HFSC niche displayed wide-spread alterations in extracellular matrix composition and mechanics, resulting in compressive forces on SCs and subsequent transcriptional repression, leading to loss of bivalent promoters. Tuning tissue mechanics both in vivo and in vitro recapitulated age-related SC changes, implicating niche mechanics as a central regulator of genome organization and function leading to age-dependent SC exhaustion.

SOX9: a Stem Cell Transcriptional Regulator of Secreted Niche Signaling Factors

Project description:Mouse hair follicles undergo synchronized cycles. Cyclical regeneration and hair growth is fueled by hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs). We used RNA-seq to identify SOX9-dependent transcriptional changes and ChIP-seq to identify SOX9-bound genes in HF-SCs. Telogen quiescent hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs) and intefollicular epidermal cells (IFE) were FACS-purified for ChIP-sequcencing and HFSCs for RNA-Sequencing

Obesity accelerates hair thinning in stem cell-centric converging mechanism

Project description:Obesity, a worldwide epidemic, predisposes to many ageing-associated diseases, yet its exact impact on organ dysfunction is largely unknown. Hair follicles, mini-epithelial organs that grow hair, miniaturize by ageing to cause hair loss through the depletion of hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs). Here, we report that obesity-induced stress such as by high-fat diet (HFD) feeding primarily targets HFSCs to accelerate hair thinning. Chronological gene expression analysis revealed that HFD feeding for four consecutive days directs activated HFSCs toward epidermal keratinization by generating excessive reactive oxygen species yet retains HFSC pools in young mice. Integrative analysis with stem cell fate tracing, epigenetic analysis and reverse genetics revealed that further feeding of HFD subsequently induces lipid droplets and NF-κB activation within HFSCs via autocrine/paracrine IL1R signaling. Those integrated factors converge on the profound inhibition of Sonic hedgehog (Shh) signal transduction in HFSCs, thereby further depleting lipid-laden HFSCs from the skin surface and inducing hair follicle miniaturization and eventual hair loss. Conversely, Shh activation by transgenes or compounds rescues HFD-induced hair loss. These data collectively demonstrate that stem cell inflammageing induced by obesity robustly represses organ regeneration signals to accelerate the mini-organ miniaturization, and indicates suggests the importance of daily prevention of organ dysfunction.

The comparison of MicroRNA profile of the dermis between young and old human

Project description:Skin aging is a process of structural and compositional remolding that can be manifested as wrinkling and sagging. Remarkably, the dermis plays a dominant role in the process of skin aging. Recent studies suggest that microRNAs (miRNAs) may play a role in the regulation of gene expression in organism aging. However, studies about age-related miRNAs in human skin remain limited. In order to obtain an overall view of miRNAs expression in human aged dermis, we have investigated the alteration of microRNAs during aging by examining biopsies of human dermis from 12 young and aged donors, and demonstrated that numerous microRNAs showed significant alteration in dermis tissue. Normal human dermal tissue from 12 consenting individuals. Old group vs young group. Old group: with the age over 60 years old; young group: with the age below 10 years old; each group was constituted of 6 individuals.

SKPs derive from hair follicle precursors and exhibit properties of adult dermal stem cells

Project description:Global expression analysis of neural crest-like skin-derived precursors (SKPs) and Sox2-positive follicle dermal cells that SKPs originate from. In spite of the remarkable regenerative capacity of mammalian skin, an adult dermal stem cell has not yet been identified. Here, we provide evidence that SKPs, multipotent neural crest-like skin-derived precursors, represent an adult dermal stem cell. When transplanted into adult skin, SKPs can reconstitute the adult dermis, contribute to dermal wound-healing, home to a hair follicle niche, and instruct epidermal cells to make hair follicles. Hair follicle-derived SKPs self-renew, maintain their multipotency, and serially reconstitute hair follicles. The endogenous origin of SKPs are Sox2-positive follicle dermal cells that share a similar global gene expression profile with SKPs. These endogenous cells home back to their follicle niche, induce hair follicle morphogenesis, and differentiate into neural and dermal progeny. Hair follicle-associated dermal cells will move out of their niche to contribute to dermal maintenance and wound-healing. These studies therefore identify a dermal stem cell, and provide a biological rationale for the presence of a multipotent precursor within adult dermis, findings with important therapeutic implications.

Comprehensive Microarray Transcriptome Profiling of CD34-Enriched Mouse Keratinocyte Stem Cells

Project description:Recent developments in animal models (Morris et al., 2004; Tumbar et al., 2004) as well as the discovery of cell surface markers (Jones and Watt, 1993; Tani et al., 2000; Trempus et al., 2003; Nijhof et al., 2006) have made it possible to isolate living epidermal hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs) from mouse skin, facilitating the study of the biological and molecular features inherent to HFSCs. A complexity of stem and progenitor cell populations within the hair follicle has been revealed. Here, we report comprehensive profiling of mouse CD34-expressing HFSCs using the Agilent mouse oligo microarray platform in order to extend and enrich the existing HFSC databases.
