Project description:β-Catenin is a regulator of cutaneous wound repair. The expression of genes that are modulated in response to changes in β-Catenin levels (stabilization and downregulation) in cutaneous mouse wounds, post injury, during the proliferative phase of repair, was investigated. We are particularly interested in genes that are modulated (in opposite directions) in response to both the induction (stabilization) versus downregulation of β-Catenin. To investigate this, conditional β-Catenin stabilized (Harada, N., et al. EMBO J. 1999 Nov 1;18(21):5931-42) mice were injected with either a Cre-expressing adenovirus, or a GFP-expressing control virus, three days following injury, and wounds were harvested eight days post injury. For conditional knockdown of β-Catenin, mice generated from a cross between conditional β-Catenin knockdown mice (Brault, V. et al., Development. 2001 Apr;128(8):1253-64), and mice that express a tamoxifen-inducible form of Cre (Hayashi, S., and McMahon, A.P., Dev Biol. 2002 Apr 15;244(2):305-18), were treated with Tamoxifen for five days, beginning at the third day after injury. Wounds were harvested eight days after wounding. This provides insight into the identities of genes modulated in response to changes in β-Catenin levels during the proliferative stage of cutaneous wound repair.

Project description:Overexpression of activin A by keratinocytes accelerates excisional wound healing in mice. Activin-promoted wound healing is mediated via the stroma, specifically by the wound immune cells and fibroblasts. To determine if activin A alters the gene expression profile of wound fibroblasts, we performed RNA-sequencing of fibroblasts FACS-sorted from excisional skin wounds of activin overexpressing mice. We found that activin induces a pro-fibrotic gene expression profile of these fibroblasts, leading to the upregulation of genes involved in collagen biosynthesis and remodeling.

Project description:While considerable progress has been made towards understanding the complex processes and pathways that regulate human wound healing, regenerative medicine has been unable to develop therapies that coax the natural wound environment to heal scar-free. The inability to induce perfect skin regeneration stems partly from our limited understanding of how scar-free healing occurs in a natural setting. Here we have investigated the wound repair process in adult axolotls and demonstrate that they are capable of perfectly repairing full thickness excisional wounds made on the flank. In the context of mammalian wound repair, our findings reveal a substantial reduction in hemostasis, reduced neutrophil infiltration and a relatively long delay in production of new extracellular matrix (ECM) during scar-free healing. Additionally, we test the hypothesis that metamorphosis leads to scarring and instead show that terrestrial axolotls also heal scar-free, albeit at a slower rate. Analysis of newly forming dermal ECM suggests that low levels of fibronectin and high levels of tenascin-C promote regeneration in lieu of scarring. Lastly, a genetic analysis during wound healing comparing epidermis between aquatic and terrestrial axolotls suggests that matrix metalloproteinases may regulate the fibrotic response. Our findings outline a blueprint to understand the cellular and molecular mechanisms coordinating scar-free healing that will be useful towards elucidating new regenerative therapies targeting fibrosis and wound repair. We used microarray analysis to determine the gene expression changes that take place during scar free wound healing in aquatic and terrestrial axolotl salamanders. Epidermal tissue was harvested using a 4mm biopsy punch. Two wounds were made along the flank and posterior to the forelimbs. Harvested epidermis was pooled for each animal. Four biological replicates were collected from uninjured epidermis (D0) and at 1, 3, and 7 days post injury.

Project description:The mechanisms behind acute mucosal injury responses in humans are poorly investigated.We thus examined the acute responses to mucosal barrier injury in humans with and without UC. A standardized mucosal wound extending to the muscularis mucosa layer was inflicted in the sigmoid colon of 6 patients with quiescent UC and 6 control subjects. Macroscopic, microscopic and molecular injury responses were assessed at 24 and 48 hours by repeated high resolution imaging and collection of biopsies across the wounds which were assessed by RNA sequencing.

Project description:Burn wound blister fluid is a valuable matrix for understanding the biological pathways associated with burn injury. In this study, 152 blister fluid samples collected from paediatric burn wounds at two different hospitals were analysed using mass spectrometry proteomic techniques. The protein abundance profile at different days post-burn indicated that there were more proteins associated with cellular damage/repair in the first 24 hours, whereas after this point there were more proteins associated with antimicrobial defence and inflammation. The inflammatory proteins persisted at a high level in the blister fluid for more than 7 days. This may indicate that removal of burn blisters prior to two days post-burn is optimal to prevent excessive or prolonged inflammation in the wound environment. Additionally, many proteins associated with the neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) pathway were increased post-burn, further implicating NETs in the post-burn inflammatory response. NET inhibitors may therefore be a potential treatment to reduce post-burn inflammation and coagulation pathology and enhance burn wound healing outcomes.

Project description:After skin injury fibroblasts migrate into the wound and transform into contractile extracellular matrix-producing myofibroblasts to promote skin repair. Persistent activation of myofibroblasts can cause excessive fibrotic reactions, but the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. We used SMA-GFP transgenic mice to study myofibroblast recruitment and activation in skin wounds. Myofibroblasts were initially recruited to wounds three days post injury reached a maximum after seven days and subsequently declined. Expression profiling showed that 1749 genes were differentially expressed in sorted myofibroblasts from wounds seven days post injury. GO-Term analysis associated most of these genes with the extracellular region and cell periphery including upregulated genes encoding for ECM proteins, integrins and focal adhesion proteins and a specific set of growth factors, cytokines and chemokines promoting the healing response. In contrast, cell adhesion molecules involved in cell-cell interaction were downregulated. Novel genes not yet known to be expressed in myofibroblast were found. Hence, this first characterization of a myofibroblast specific expression network at the peak of granulation tissue formation in situ provides important insights into myofibroblast activation in skin wounds and identifies novel target genes to control excessive ECM deposition during fibrotic reactions.

Project description:β-Catenin is a regulator of cutaneous wound repair. The expression of genes that are modulated in response to changes in β-Catenin levels initiated prior to injury was investigated during the proliferative phase of repair. We are particularly interested in genes that are modulated (in opposite directions) in response to both the induction ('stabilization') versus downregulation of β-Catenin. To investigate this, conditional β-Catenin stabilized mice (Harada, N., et al. EMBO J. 1999 Nov 1;18(21):5931-42) were injected with either a Cre-expressing adenovirus, or a GFP-expressing control virus, four days prior to injury, and wounds were harvested eight days following injury. For conditional knockdown of β-Catenin, mice generated from a cross between conditional β-Catenin knockdown mice (Brault, V. et al., Development. 2001 Apr;128(8):1253-64), and mice that express a tamoxifen-inducible form of Cre (Hayashi, S., and McMahon, A.P., Dev Biol. 2002 Apr 15;244(2):305-18), were treated with Tamoxifen for five days prior to injury.

This provides insight into gene expression changes that occur during the proliferative stage of cutaneous wound repair in response to changes in β-Catenin levels initiated before/at the time of injury.

Project description:Angiopoietin-like protein 4 (Angptl4) is a matricellular protein that associates with extracellular matrix proteins, mediating complex cell-cell, and cell-matrix interactions. It has been implicated in various inflammation-associated diseases, including wound healing, but very few reports describe a direct role for Angptl4 in the immune landscape of wound microenvironment. Here, we studied whether Angptl4 regulates the immune response during wound healing. Using single-cell RNA sequencing to examine the temporal changes in the immune cell landscape of excisional wounds from wild type and Angplt4-knockout (Angplt4-/-) mice revealed that Angptl4-/- wounds had a stalled inflammatory phase. Infiltrated neutrophils remained elevated in the Angptl4-/- wounds due to an impaired monocyte to macrophage differentiation needed for clearance. The impaired monocyte differentiation was also validated in wounds using multi-color flow cytometry. Pairwise comparisons of differentially expressed genes from wound-derived and bone-marrow derived macrophages demonstrated few differences, suggesting that Angptl4 has a confined regulome. We identified interferon activated protein 202B (ifi202b) to be consistently upregulated in Angptl4-/- macrophages. . Pathway analysis further confirmed that ifi202b significantly impacted multiple gene networks involved in the cell fate of monocytes and the functions of monocyte-derived macrophages. Taken altogether, we conclude that Angptl4 orchestrates the inflammatory state, innate immune landscape, and healing process in the wound microenvironment via its transcriptional regulation on ifi202b.
