Spontaneously resolved atopic dermatitis shows melanocyte and immune cell activation distinct from healthy control skin

ABSTRACT: Atopic dermatitis (AD) typically starts in infancy or early childhood, showing spontaneous remission in a subset of patients, while others develop lifelong disease. Despite an increased understanding of AD, factors guiding its natural course are only insufficiently elucidated. We thus performed suction blistering in skin of adult patients with stable, spontaneous remission from previous moderate-to-severe AD during childhood. Samples were compared to healthy controls without personal or familial history of atopy, and to chronic, active AD lesions. Skin cells and tissue fluid obtained were used for single-cell RNA sequencing and proteomic multiplex assays, respectively. We found overall cell composition and proteomic profiles of spontaneously healed AD to be comparable to healthy control skin, without upregulation of typical AD activity markers (e.g., IL13, S100As, and KRT16). Among all cell types in spontaneously healed AD, melanocytes harbored the largest numbers of differentially expressed genes in comparison to healthy controls, with upregulation of potentially anti-inflammatory markers such as PLA2G7. Conventional T-cells also showed increases in regulatory markers, and a general skewing toward a more Th1-like phenotype. By contrast, gene expression of regulatory T-cells and keratinocytes was essentially indistinguishable from healthy skin. Melanocytes and conventional T-cells might thus contribute a specific regulatory milieu in spontaneously healed AD skin.

Gene expression in melanocytes and metastases melanoma cells from the pig

Project description:Melanoblastoma-bearing Libechov minipigs (MeLiM) provide an animal model for the study of spontaneous cutaneous melanoma. We compared the serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE) profile between normal skin melanocytes and melanoma cells from a pulmonary metastasis of MeLiM. Keywords: disease state study To minimise the contribution of cells other than melanocytes, we constructed SAGE libraries from a primary culture of melanoma cells derived from a pulmonary melanoma metastasis of a young MeLiM and from a pigmented melanocyte cell line, PigMel, derived from the skin of a healthy Meishan pig.

Site-specific microarray evaluation of spontaneous dermatitis in flaky tail mice I

Project description:Flaky tail mice (FTM) with gene mutations to FLG and TMEM79 are known to spontaneously develop atopic dermatitis (AD)-like dermatitis with age. Interestingly, we have already reported that the spontaneous development of dermatitis exhibits site-specificity, i. e. , the face and neck develop spontaneous dermatitis, while the dorsal flank shows normal skin in old FTM. In fact, transepidermal water loss and stratum corneum (SC) pH increased, SC hydration decreased, and epidermis thickened in the neck, but not in the dorsal flank. The detailed pathogenic mechanisms of such site-specific emergence of dermatitis in AD remain unclear. To clarify the pathogenesis of site-specificity, we analyzed skin of the neck and flank in old FTM using a microarray.

Mass spectrometry-based profiling of histone posttranslational modifications in uveal melanoma tissue, human melanocytes, and uveal melanoma cell lines

Project description:Purpose: Epigenetic mechanisms and alterations in uveal melanoma (UM) development are still not well understood. In this pilot study, histone posttranslational modifications (PTMs), which are epigenetic mechanisms regulating gene expression, were analyzed in UM formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues and control tissue as well as in UM cell lines and healthy melanocytes to provide a deeper insight into the pathogenesis of UM and the potentially prognostic relevance of these molecular markers. Methods: FFPE tissue of UM (n=24) and normal choroid (n=4) as well as human UM cell lines (n=7), human skin melanocytes (n=6) and uveal melanocytes (n=2), were analyzed by a quantitative mass spectrometry (MS) approach.

Type 2 cytokine-dependent skin barrier regulation in personalized 2D- and 3D skin models of atopic dermatitis: A pilot study

Project description:Keratinocytes from healthy donors stimulated with type 2 cytokines are often used to experimentally study atopic dermatitis (AD) inflammatory responses. Due to potential intrinsic alterations, it seems favorable to use keratinocytes from AD patients. Keratinocytes isolated from hair follicles offer a non-invasive approach to investigate AD-derived keratinocytes. To evaluate whether such AD-derived keratinocytes are suitable to mimic AD inflammatory responses we compared hair follicle-derived keratinocytes from healthy donors and AD patients in a type 2 cytokine environment. Stimulation of AD-derived keratinocytes with IL-4 and IL-13 induced higher expression changes of AD-associated markers as compared to healthy keratinocytes. The combination of IL-4 and IL-13 generally induced highest expression changes, but IL-13 alone also induced significant changes of AD-specific markers. Similar to the 2D cultures, IL-4/IL-13 stimulation of 3D skin models generated with AD-derived keratinocytes modulated the expression of several AD-relevant factors. Whole transcriptome analysis revealed that IL-4 and IL-13 acted similarly on these 3D skin models. Histologically, IL-13 alone and in combination with IL-4 increased epidermal spongiosis, a histological hallmark of AD skin. Taken together, our pilot study suggests that hair follicle-derived keratinocytes from AD patients represent a useful model system to study AD-related inflammation in a personalized in vitro model.

Distinct transcriptomic profiles of early-onset atopic dermatitis in blood and skin of pediatric patients

Project description:Background: Atopic dermatitis (AD) predominantly affects young children, but our understanding of AD pathogenesis is based on skin and blood samples from longstanding adult AD. Genomic biopsy profiling from early pediatric AD showed significant Th2 and Th17/Th22-skewing, without the characteristic adult Th1 up-regulation. Since obtaining pediatric biopsies is difficult, blood gene expression profiling may provide a surrogate for the pediatric skin signature. Objective: To define the blood profile and associated biomarkers of early moderate-to-severe pediatric AD. Methods: We compared microarrays and RT-PCR of blood cells from 28 AD children (<5yrs and within 6 months of disease onset) to healthy control blood cells. Differentially expressed genes/DEGs in blood (fold change/FCH>1.2 and false discovery rate/FDR<0.05) were then compared with skin DEGs. Results: Eosinophil and Th2 markers (IL5RA, IL1RL1/ST2, HRH4, CCR3, SIGLEC8, PRSS33, CLC from gene arrays; IL13/IL4/CCL22 from RT-PCR) were upregulated in early pediatric AD blood, while IFNG/Th1 was decreased. Th1 markers were negatively correlated with clinical severity (EASI, pruritus, transepidermal water loss/TEWL), whereas Th2/Th17-induced IL19 was positively correlated with SCORAD. While a few RT-PCR-defined immune markers (IL13/CCL22) were increased in blood, as previously also reported for skin, there was minimal overlap based on gene array DEGs. Conclusion: The whole blood signature of early moderate-to-severe pediatric AD blood cells show predominantly a Th2/eosinophil profile, but markers largely differ from the skin profile. Given their complementarity, pooling of biomarkers from blood and skin may improve profiling and predictions, providing insight regarding disease course allergic comorbidity development, and response to systemic medications.

Distinct molecular signatures of mild extrinsic and intrinsic atopic dermatitis

Project description:Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common inflammatory skin disease with underlying defects in epidermal function and immune responses. The goal of this study was to investigate differences in gene expression in lesional skin from patients with mild extrinsic or intrinsic AD compared to skin from healthy controls and from lesional psoriasis skin. The aim was to identify differentially expressed genes involved in skin barrier formation and inflammation, and to compare our results with those reported for patients with moderate and severe AD. A total of 31 samples were analyzed: 8 healthy skin, 9 psoriatic plaques, 4 extrinsic AD lesional skin, 10 intrinsic AD lesional skin.

Transcription profiling of lesional and non-lesional skin from actopic dermititis patients and normal skin

Project description:Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common pruritic dermatitis with macroscopically nonlesional skin that is often abnormal. Therefore, we used high-density oligonucleotide arrays to identify cutaneous gene transcription changes associated with early AD inflammation as potential disease control targets. Skin biopsy specimens analyzed included normal skin from five healthy nonatopic adults and both minimally lesional skin and nearby or contralateral nonlesional skin from six adult AD patients. Keywords: disease state analysis We used high-density oligonucleotide Affymetrix Human U133A GeneChip arrays to identify cutaneous gene transcription changes associated with early AD inflammation as potential disease control targets. Skin biopsy specimens analyzed included normal skin from five healthy nonatopic adults and both minimally lesional skin and nearby or contralateral nonlesional skin from six adult AD patients.

Microdialysis analysis of common inflammatory skin diseases highlights abnormalities in nonlesional skin of patients with atopic dermatitis

Project description:Insight into the pathophysiology of inflammatory skin diseases, especially at the proteomic level, is severely hampered by the lack of adequate in situ data. Skin microdialysis samples from patients with atopic dermatitis (AD, n=6), psoriasis vulgaris (PSO, n=7) or prurigo nodularis (PN, n=6), as well as healthy controls (n=7) were subjected to proteomics and multiplex cytokine analysis. Single-cell RNA sequencing of skin biopsy specimens was used to identify the cellular origin of cytokines. Among the top 20 enriched GO annotations, NAD metabolic process, regulation of secretion by cell, and pyruvate metabolic process were elevated in microdialysates from lesional AD skin compared with both nonlesional skin and controls. The top 20 enriched KEGG pathways in these three groups overlapped almost completely. In contrast, nonlesional skin from patients with PSO or PN and control skin showed no overlap with lesional skin in this KEGG pathway analysis. Lesional skin from patients with PSO, but not AD or PN, showed significantly elevated protein levels of IL-22 and MCP-1 compared to nonlesional skin. IL-8 was elevated in lesional vs nonlesional AD and PSO skin, whereas IL-12p40 was higher only in lesional PSO skin. Integrated single-cell RNA-seq data revealed identical cellular sources of these cytokines in AD, PSO and PN. Based on microdialysate, proteomic data of lesional PSO and PN skin, but not lesional AD skin, differed significantly from those of nonlesional skin. IL-8, IL-22, MCP-1 and IL-12p40 might be suitable markers for minimally invasive molecular profiling.
