Project description:Comparative analysis of gene expression in cultured primary keratinocytes isolated from newborn control (K14-cre; GPx4fl/+) and knockout (K14-cre; GPx4fl/fl) mice. Selenoproteins are essential for skin function, as targeted abolition of selenoproteins in epidermal tissue results in newborn mice manifesting gross abnormalities of skin and hair, accompanied by retarded growth and premature death. To investigate whether lack of a single selenoprotein could induce similar phenotypic effect in mice, we generated keratinocyte-specific knockout mice lacking glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPx4), an essential selenoprotein in skin, to examine phenotypic changes resulting from the lack of GPx4 in skin. Ablation of GPx4 results in focal alopecia and disturbed hair follicle morphogenesis, with GPx4 being essential during early stages of hair follicle morphogenesis as well as for keratinocyte adhesion and proliferation in culture. We have generated mice with selective removal of the GPx4 gene in keratinocytes under the control of Keratin-14-cre (K14-cre) promoter. Comparative microarray analysis was performed on RNA samples taken from pooled primary keratinocytes from knockout and control mice from the same litter. Array replicates were performed using RNA samples from three different litters.

Project description:We conducted RNA sequencing analysis on skin tissues obtained from spontaneous inflammatory skin lesions in keratinocyte-specific Mettl3 knockout (K14CreERT2;Mettl3fl/fl) mice and their controls (Mettl3fl/fl). In brief, we observed spontaneous skin inflammation in the tail of K14CreERT2;Mettl3fl/fl mice 2-3 weeks following tamoxifen injection. The objective of this study was to investigate the impact and underlying mechanism of Mettl3 in epidermal keratinocytes regarding skin inflammation

Project description:Olfactomedin-4 (OLFM4) is an olfactomedin-domain-containing glycoprotein which regulates cell adhesion, proliferation, gastrointestinal inflammation, innate immunity and cancer metastasis. In the present study investigated its role in skin regeneration and wound healing. We found that OLFM4 expression is transiently upregulated in the proliferative phase of cutaneous wound healing in humans as well as in mice. Moreover, a significant increase in OLFM4 expression was detected in the skin of lesional psoriasis, a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by keratinocyte hyperproliferation. In vitro experiments demonstrated that OLFM4 can selectively stimulate keratinocyte proliferation and increase both keratinocyte and fibroblast migration ability. Using proteotransciptomic pathway analysis we revealed that transcription factors POU5F1/OCT4 and ESR1 acted as hubs for OLFM4-dependent signalling in keratinocytes. In vivo experiments utilizing mouse splinted full-thickness cutaneous wound healing model showed that application of recombinant OLFM4 protein can significantly improve wound healing time. Taken together, our results suggest that OLFM4 is a transiently upregulated inflammatory signal that promotes wound healing by supporting the functions of both dermal and epidermal cell compartments.

Project description:This study investigates the role of ADAM17 (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase 17) in skin homeostasis. Here, we show that mice lacking ADAM17 in keratinocytes have a normal epidermal barrier and skin architecture at birth, but develop pronounced defects in epidermal barrier integrity soon after birth and chronic dermatitis as adults. The dysregulated expression of epidermal differentiation proteins becomes evident 2 days after birth, followed by transepidermal water loss and inflammatory immune cell infiltration. Our results identify a previously unappreciated critical role of the ADAM17/EGFR signaling axis in maintaining the homeostasis of the postnatal epidermal barrier. The genome-wide effects of ADAM17 deficiency were analyzed using Agilent Whole Mouse Genome microarrays. Conditional keratinocyte-specific ADAM17 knockout mice were generated by crossing Adam17flox/flox mice with keratin-14-Cre (Krt14-Cre) transgenic mice. Adam17flox/+Krt14-Cre mice were mated with Adam17flox/flox mice to generate pups of Adam17flox/flox Krt14-Cre positive (cKO) and Krt14-Cre negative (wild-type) control littermates. The genetic background was a mix of 129Sv and C57BL/6. As material, back skin tissue biopsies (postnatal day 10) from n = 2 wild-type skin and n = 2 ADAM17 epidermal KO skin (matched WT-cKO pairs from two different litters) were used in this study.

Project description:The morphology of the skin changes upon depletion of MCPIP1 in cells of myeloid origin as well as in keratinocytes. The thicknesses of epidermal and hypodermal layers are significantly increased in mice with loss of epidermal MCPIP1, whereas loss of myeloid MCPIP1 exerts completely opposite effect. Both types of mice show contrary response to the stimulation with 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate. Skin morphology and inflammatory phenotype of keratinocyte- and myeloid- double MCPIP1 knockout mice is similar to that of the single keratinocyte knockout of MCPIP1. In all, myeloid and epidermal MCPIP1 play significant but distinct roles in the modulation of skin-related processes.

Project description:Atopic Dermatitis (AD) is the most common inflammatory skin disease and characterized by a deficient epidermal barrier and cutaneous inflammation. Genetic studies suggest a key role of keratinocytes in AD pathogenesis, but the alterations in the proteome that occur in the entire epidermis have not been defined. Employing a pressure-cycling technology-data-independent acquisition (PCT-DIA) approach, we performed quantitative proteomics of epidermis from healthy volunteers and lesional and non-lesional skin of AD patients. Results were validated by targeted proteomics using parallel reaction monitoring mass spectrometry or by immunofluorescence staining. The identified proteins reflect the strong inflammation in lesional skin and the defect in keratinocyte differentiation and epidermal stratification. Most importantly, they reveal impaired activation of the NRF2-antioxidant pathway and reduced abundance of mitochondrial proteins involved in key metabolic pathways in the epidermis. These results provide insight into the molecular alterations in the epidermis of AD patients and identify novel targets for pharmaceutical intervention.

Project description:In order to unravel the functional role of autophagy in skin homeostasis, we performed single-cell RNA-sequencing on total skin of 10-weeks-old male mice lacking ATG16L1 selectively in keratinocytes. Keratinocyte-specific ATG16L1 knock-out (KO) mice do not show an overt skin phenotype. By performing single-cell analysis on total skin of control mice and mice lacking ATG16L1 in keratinocytes, we could identify a crucial role for keratinocyte autophagyin mediating the timing of hair follicle stem cell activation in hair growth.

Project description:Regenerative responses predispose tissues to tumor formation by largely unknown mechanisms. High-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) is a danger-associated molecular pattern contributing to inflammatory pathologies. Here, we show that HMGB1 derived from keratinocytes, but not myeloid cells, delays cutaneous wound healing and drives skin tumor formation. In wounds of mice lacking HMGB1 selectively in keratinocytes, a marked reduction in neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation is observed. Pharmacological targeting of HMGB1 or NETs prevents skin tumorigenesis and accelerates wound regeneration. HMGB1-dependent NET formation and skin tumorigenesis is orchestrated by the cytokine TNF and requires RIPK1 kinase activity. NETs are present in the microenvironment of keratinocyte-derived tumors in mice and lesional and tumor skin of patients suffering from Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa (RDEB), a disease in which skin blistering predisposes to tumorigenesis. We conclude that tumorigenicity of the wound microenvironment depends on epithelial-derived HMGB1 regulating NET formation, thereby establishing a mechanism linking reparative inflammation to tumor initiation.

Project description:Disrupted skin barrier due to altered keratinocyte differentiation is common in pathologic conditions such as atopic dermatitis, ichthyosis and psoriasis. However, the molecular cascades governing keratinocyte terminal differentiation are still poorly understood. We have previously demostrated that a dominante mutation in ZNF750 leads to a clinical phenotype that reminiscent of psoriasis and seborrehic dermatitis. We defined ZNF750 as a nuclear effector that is atrongly activated in and essiential for keratinocyte terminal differentiation. ZNF750 knockdown in HaCaT keratinocytes markedly reduced the expression of epidermal late differentiation markers, including gene subsets of epidermal differentiation complex and skin barrier formation such as FLG, LOR, SPINK5, ALOX12B and DSG1, known to be mutated in various human skin diseases. Furthermore, ZNF750 over-expression in undifferentiated cells induced terminal differentiation genes. Thus, ZNF750 is a regulator of keratinocyte terminal differnetiation, and with its downstream targets can serve in future elucidation of therapeutics for common disease of skin barrier Gene expression analysis: To determine the differentaition signature for HaCaT keratinocytes, with ZNF750 gene silencing, total RNA was isolated in biologic triplicates from cells induced to differentiate for twelve days and hybridized to Affymerix Human Gene 1.0 ST arrays.
