Hypoxia and HIF-1α Regulate Collagen Production in Keloids

ABSTRACT: Keloids are reactive or spontaneous fibroproliferative dermal tumors characterized by the exaggerated and uncontrolled accumulation of extracellular collagen. Current approaches to mitigate keloidogenesis are largely procedural in nature. However, a better understanding of its biological drivers may lead to novel targeted treatments for keloids. Through whole-genome expression analysis, we found that a HIF-1α transcriptional footprint is preferentially upregulated (activation score=2.024; p=1.05E-19) in keloid fibroblasts (KFs) compared to normal dermal fibroblasts (NFs). We verified that HIF-1α protein is more strongly expressed in keloid specimens compared to normal skin (p=0.035) and that hypoxia (1% O2) leads to increased collagen, especially in the extracellular compartment. Collagen levels were uniformly reduced by selective HIF-1α inhibitor CAY10585. Our results indicate that collagen secretion may be intimately linked to a hypoxic microenvironment within keloid tumors and that HIF-1α blockade could be a novel avenue of treatment for these tumors.

Relief of extracellular matrix deposition repression by downregulation of IRF1-mediated TWEAK/Fn14 signaling in keloids

Project description:Keloids represent a fibrotic disorder characterized by the excessive deposition of extracellular matrix (ECM). However, the mechanisms by which ECM deposition in keloids is regulated remain elusive. Here, we found that the expression of both TWEAK and its cognate receptor Fn14 was significantly downregulated in keloids and that TWEAK/Fn14 signaling repressed the expression of ECM-related genes in keloid fibroblasts. The IRF1 gene was essential for this repression, and the TWEAK/Fn14 downstream transcription factor P65 directly bound to the promoter of the IRF1 gene and induced its expression. Furthermore, in keloid patients, the expression of TWEAK and Fn14 was negatively correlated with that of ECM genes and positively correlated with that of IRF1. These observations indicate that relief of TWEAK/Fn14/IRF1-mediated ECM deposition repression contributes to keloid pathogenesis, and the identified mechanism and related molecules provide potential targets for keloid treatment in the future.

The Matrisome Reveals the Characterization of Skin Keloid Microenvironment

Project description:Keloids are fibroproliferative dermal tumors of unknown origin that are characterized by the overabundant accumulation of extracellular matrix (ECM) components. The mechanism of keloid formation has remained unclear because of a poor understanding of its molecular basis. In this study, the dermal ECM components of keloids were identified, and the pathological mechanism of keloid formation was characterized using large-scale, quantitative proteomic analyses of decellularized keloid biomatrix scaffolds. We identified a total of 267 dermal core ECM and ECM-associated proteins that were differentially expressed between patients with keloids and healthy controls. Skin mechanical properties, key pathways, and biological processes including protease activity, wound healing, and adhesion were disordered in keloids. The integrated network analysis of the upregulated ECM proteins revealed the involvement of estrogen signaling pathways in keloid formation. Our findings may improve the scientific basis of keloid treatment and provide new ideas for the establishment of keloid models.

Keloid fibroproliferative properties are dependent on stem cells modified by the HEDGEHOG-GLI1 pathway [EA1874]

Project description:Keloids are benign fibroproliferative skin tumors caused by aberrant wound healing, the etiology of which is unknown. Although keloids cause life inconveniences and cosmetic problems, the lack of animal models has yet to elucidate their pathogenesis or develop effective treatments. Here, we found that the characteristics of stem cells from keloid lesions and surrounding dermis differ from those of normal skin and that HEDGEHOG (HH) signal and its downstream transcription factor GLI1 were upregulated in keloid patient-derived stem cells. Inhibition of the HH-GLI1 pathway reduced the expression of genes involved in keloids and fibrosis-inducing cytokines, including osteopontin. Moreover, HH-signal inhibitor vismodegib reduced keloid reconstituted tumor size and the expression of keloid related genes in nude mouse, and the collagen bundle and the expression of cytokines characteristic for keloids in ex vivo culture of keloid tissues. These results implicate the HH-GLI1 pathway in keloid pathogenesis and suggest therapeutic target of keloids.

Gene expression profile at single cell level of primary keloid fibroblasts treated with various radiotherapy modalities

Project description:Keloids are benign dermal tumors that arise from abnormal wound healing processes following skin lesions. Postoperative radiotherapy (PORT) is a clinically effective measure to reduce recurrence rates of keloid. We used single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seg) to analyze the different of primary keloid fibroblasts treated with various radiation modalities.

Transcriptome network analysis of inflammation and fibrosis in keloids [miRNA-seq]

Project description:Background:Keloid (KL) is a common benign skin tumor. KL is typically characterized by significant fibrosis and an intensive inflammatory response. Therefore, a comprehensive understanding of the interactions between cellular inflammation and fibrotic cells is essential to elucidate the mechanisms driving the progression of KL and to develop therapeutics. Objective: Investigate the transcriptome landscape of inflammation and fibrosis in keloid scars. Methods: In this paper, we performed transcriptome sequencing and microRNA (miRNA) sequencing on unselected live cells from six human keloid tissues and normal skin tissues to elucidate a comprehensive transcriptome landscape. In addition, we used single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) analysis to analyze intercellular communication networks and enrich fibroblast populations in two additional keloid and normal skin samples to study fibroblast diversity. Results: By RNA sequencing and a miRNA-mRNA-PPI network analysis, we identified miR-615-5p and miR-122b-3p as possible miRNAs associated with keloids, as they differed most significantly in keloids. Similarly, COL3A1, COL1A2, THBS2, TNC, IGTA, THBS4, TGFB3 as genes with significant differences in keloid may be associated with keloid development. Using single-cell RNA sequencing data from 24086 cells collected from normal or keloid, we report reconstructed intercellular signaling network analysis and aggregation to modules associated with specific cell subpopulations at the cellular level for keloid alterations. Conclusions: Our multitranscriptomic dataset delineates inflammatory and fibro heterogeneity of human keloids, underlining the importance of intercellular crosstalk between inflammatory cells and fibro cells and revealing potential therapeutic targets.

Gene profiling of keloid fibroblasts shows altered expression in multiple fibrosis-associated pathways

Project description:Keloids are benign tumors of the dermis that form during a protracted wound healing process. Susceptibility to keloid formation occurs predominantly in people of African and Asian descent. The key alteration(s) responsible for keloid formation has not been identified and there is no satisfactory treatment for this disorder. The altered regulatory mechanism is limited to dermal wound healing, although several diseases characterized by an exaggerated response to injury are prevalent in individuals of African ancestry. We have observed a complex pattern of phenotypic differences in keloid fibroblasts grown in standard culture medium or induced by hydrocortisone. In this study Affymetrix-based microarray was performed on RNA obtained from fibroblasts cultured from normal scars and keloids grown in the absence and presence of hydrocortisone. We observed differential regulation of approximately 500 genes of the 38,000 represented on the Affymetrix chip. Of particular interest was increased expression of several IGF-binding and IGF-binding related proteins and decreased expression of a subset of Wnt pathway inhibitors and multiple IL-1-inducible genes. Increased expression of CTGF and IGFBP-3 was observed in keloid fibroblasts only in the presence of hydrocortisone. These findings support a role for multiple fibrosis-related pathways in the pathogenesis of keloids Keywords: cell-type comparison, drug treatment comparison Cell cultures were initiated from human biopsy material from normal dermal scars and keloids of adult males and females. Experimental cultures were derived from the first passage of cells thawed from liquid nitrogen. Cultures of fibroblasts from samples were grown with or without 1.5 micromolar hydrocortisone. RNA from each cell strain was isolated from three independent cell cultures and pooled, then run on an Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 GeneChip.
