RNA-seq of untreated and IMQ treated mouse back skin in control and Ovol1 deficient mice

ABSTRACT: Skin constitutes the outer permeability barrier that protects the body from dehydration and a myriad of external assaults. Epidermal keratinocytes act as the first line of innate immune defense, and barrier defects underlie common inflammatory skin diseases. However, the molecular mechanisms that maintain barrier integrity when skin is under challenge to regulate the interplay between epidermal and immune cells are not fully understood. Here we report upregulated expression of transcriptional repressorencoding Ovol1 in epidermal cells of inflamed skin, and its functional importance in maintaining barrier integrity of physically or chemically challenged skin. Following stimulation with imiquimod, Ovol1-deficient mice exhibit significantly aggravated epidermal hyperplasia and psoriasis-like skin inflammation featuring persistent neutrophil accumulation. Using bulk and single-cell RNA-sequencing, we characterize molecular changes in epidermal, fibroblasts, and immune cells that reflect altered epidermal proliferation and differentiation and/or significantly enhanced inflammatory responses as consequences of Ovol1 deletion. We identify both proliferation/differentiation-regulating and neutrophil-attracting chemokine genes as candidate direct targets of Ovol1. Finally, we provide evidence for altered IL-1a signaling in the microenvironment of Ovol1- deficient inflamed skin that functionally contributes to neutrophil accumulation and epidermal hyperplasia. Collectively, our study demonstrates a protective role for an epidermally expressed, disease-linked transcription factor in coordinating robust barrier maintenance with suppression of skin inflammation.

Ovol1 regulates psoriasis-like skin inflammation and epidermal hyperplasia

Project description:Psoriasis is a common inflammatory skin disease characterized by aberrant inflammation and epidermal hyperplasia. Molecular mechanisms that regulate psoriasis-like skin inflammation remain to be fully understood. Here we show that the expression of Ovol1 transcription factor is upregulated in psoriatic skin, and its deletion results in aggravated psoriasis-like skin symptoms following stimulation with imiquimod (IMQ). Using bulk and single-cell RNA-sequencing, we identify molecular changes in the epidermal, fibroblast and immune cells of Ovol1-deficient skin that reflect altered course of epidermal differentiation and enhanced inflammatory responses. Furthermore, we provide evidence for excessive full-length IL-1 signaling in the microenvironment of IMQ-treated Ovol1-deficient skin that functionally contributes to immune cell infiltration and epidermal hyperplasia. Collectively, our study uncovers a protective role for Ovol1 in curtailing psoriasis-like inflammation and the associated skin pathology

Expression data from isolated keratinocytes from mouse skin with or without Ovol1 and Ovol2 expression

Project description:During epithelial tissue morphogenesis, developmental progenitor cells undergo dynamic adhesive and cytoskeletal remodeling to trigger proliferation and migration. Transcriptional mechanisms that restrict such mild form of epithelial plasticity to maintain lineage-restricted differentiation in committed epithelial tissues are poorly understood. Here we report that simultaneous ablation of transcriptional repressor-encoding Ovol1 and Ovol2 results in expansion and blocked terminal differentiation of embryonic epidermal progenitor cells. Conversely, mice overexpressing Ovol2 in their skin epithelia exhibit precocious differentiation accompanied by smaller progenitor cell compartments. We show that Ovol1/2-deficient epidermal cells fail to undertake alpha-catenin–driven actin cytoskeletal reorganization and adhesive maturation, and exhibit changes that resemble epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Remarkably, these alterations as well as defective terminal differentiation are reversed upon depletion of EMT-promoting transcriptional factor Zeb1. Collectively, our findings reveal Ovol-Zeb1-a-catenin sequential repression and highlight novel functions of Ovol as gatekeepers of epithelial adhesion and differentiation by inhibiting progenitor-like traits and epithelial plasticity. Isolated keratinocytes from control, Ovol1 knockout and Ovol1/2 double knockout were physically isolated for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. In order to identify primary changes, we isolated the keratinocytes from mouse skin and allowed them to grow in culture for 2-5 days.

Expression data from mouse adult epidermis in response to physical or immune mediated damage

Project description:Whether epidermal factors play a primary role in immune-mediated skin diseases such as psoriasis is unknown. We now show that the pro-differentiation transcription factor Grainyhead-like 3 (GRHL3), essential during epidermal development but dispensable in adult skin homeostasis, is required for barrier repair after adult epidermal injury. Consistent with activation of a GRHL3-regulated repair pathway in psoriasis, we find GRHL3 up-regulation in lesional skin where GRHL3 binds known epidermal differentiation gene targets. Furthermore, we show the functionality of this pathway in the Imiquimod mouse model of immune-mediated epidermal hyperplasia where loss of Grhl3 exacerbates the epidermal damage response, conferring greater sensitivity to disease induction, delayed resolution of epidermal lesions, and resistance to anti-IL-22 therapy. ChIP-seq and gene expression profiling studies show that while GRHL3 regulates differentiation genes both in development and during repair from immune-mediated damage, it targets distinct sets of genes in the two processes. In particular, GRHL3 suppresses a number of alarmin and other pro-inflammatory genes after immune injury. This study identifies a GRHL3-regulated epidermal barrier repair pathway that suppresses disease initiation and helps resolve existing lesions in immune-mediated epidermal hyperplasia. A single timepoint was assessed after physical injury of the epidermal barrier and two timepoints were assessed after immune mediated injury of the epidermis following Imiquimod treatment (psoriasis mouse model)

Alteration of keratinocyte gene expression as a result of Flg deficiency

Project description:Defects of filaggrin (FLG) compromise epidermal barrier function and represent an important known genetic risk factor for atopic dermatitis (AD), but also for systemic atopy, including allergic sensitization and asthma. A loss of epidermal barrier integrity can provide a significant stress for the keratinocytes in the skin, either due to the increased moisture evaporation from the skin or increased penetration of the antigens and microflora into the lower epidermal layers. To understand the effect of this loss of barrier integrity on keratinocyte function our aim is to analyze the alterations in the transcriptional profile of keratinocytes from Flg-deficient mice.

Alteration of the whole skin gene expression as a result of Flg deficiency

Project description:Defects of filaggrin (FLG) compromise epidermal barrier function and represent an important known genetic risk factor for atopic dermatitis (AD), but also for systemic atopy, including allergic sensitization and asthma. A loss of epidermal barrier integrity can provide a significant stress for the cells in both the epidermis as well as the underlying dermal layer of the skin, either due to the increased moisture evaporation from the skin or increased penetration of the antigens and microflora into the lower layers. This analysis was therefore designed to understand the effect of this loss of barrier integrity on the total skin transcriptional profile.
