Commensal Microbiota Regulates Skin Barrier Function And Repair Via Signaling Through The Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor

ABSTRACT: Essential to terrestrial life is the formation of a competent skin barrier that prevents desiccation and entry by harmful substances. A tightly orchestrated series of cellular changes is required for the proper formation of the epidermal permeability barrier. These changes occur in the context of the commensal skin microbiota. Using germ free mice and antibiotic depletion models, we demonstrate the microbiota is necessary for proper differentiation and repair of the barrier. These effects were mediated by keratinocyte signaling through the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR), a xenobiotic receptor that also regulates epidermal differentiation. Murine skin lacking keratinocyte AHR was more susceptible to infection by S. aureus and increased pathology in a model of atopic dermatitis. Topical colonization with a defined consortium of human skin commensals restored barrier competence in germ free skin and during epicutaneous sensitization; these effects were dependent on keratinocyte AHR. We reveal a fundamental role for the commensal skin microbiota in directing skin barrier formation and repair through the AHR, with far-reaching implications for the numerous skin disorders characterized by disrupted epidermal differentiation and/or barrier competence.

Comparison of gene expression in AhR WT (+/+) and AhR KO (-/-) primary mouse keratinocytes

Project description:The AhR is a ligand activated transcription factor that may be important in normal skin physiology. We compared gene expression profiles between AhR Wt and AhR KO primary mouse keratinocyte cultures. We identified 391 genes that were differentially expressed with a 1.5 fold cutoff and p<.05, and identified the AhR as an important regulator of genes involved in normal epidermal differentiation. AhR Wt primary keratinocyte cultures (n=4) were compared with AhR KO primary keratinocyte cultures (n=3)

ZNF750 in late keratinocyte differentiation

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.

Adverse Events of anti-EGFR Therapy are Triggered by Hair Eruption and Commensal Skin Microbiota

Project description:EGFR targeted anti-cancer therapy induces severe skin toxicities, which affect life quality in patients. The lack of mechanistic details underlying these adverse events hampers their effective management. Here we identified EGFR as the epidermal master-regulator of the ERK pathway, which secures skin barrier integrity upon hair eruption. EGFR deficient epidermis displays a Th2-dominated expression signature and is permissive for excessive microbiota outgrowth. In the absence of EGFR, opening of the follicular ostia during hair eruption allows invasion of commensal microbiota aggravating barrier disruption and initiating an additional Th1 and Th17 response. Chronic folliculitis leads to Staphylococcus aureus dominated dysbiosis, further exacerbating inflammation and expanding barrier defects. Restoration of epidermal ERK signaling via therapeutic FGF7 treatment or transgenic SOS expression rescues skin barrier integrity in the absence of EGFR. These data reveal a gatekeeper function of the EGFR/ERK cascade in hair follicles securing the epidermal barrier around the erupting hair shaft.

AHR-TFAP2A regulates epidermal differentiation in response to environmental cues [ChIP-seq]

Project description:The Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor (AHR) is an environmental sensor and an indispensable regulator of epithelial homeostasis. To investigate AHR-mediated gene regulation, we performed a comprehensive transcriptomic and epigenomic analysis using human primary epidermal keratinocytes. Our results showed that AHR activation led to the induction of canonical transcription factors involved in epidermal differentiation as an early response, i.e. Transcription Factor AP-2α (TFAP2A), while epidermal differentiation-related genes, such as filaggrin and keratins, were activated as late responsive genes. The identified AHR-TFAP2A axis and its role in keratinocyte terminal differentiation was confirmed through AHR and TFAP2A knockout using CRISPR/Cas9. Our findings demonstrate that AHR regulates epidermal differentiation through the transient activation of specific transcription factors, such as TFAP2A, in response to environmental cues. The herein identified AHR-TFAP2A axis provides a promising target for the treatment of diseases related to skin barrier dysfunction.

NLRP10 Maintains Epidermal Homeostasis by Promoting Keratinocyte Survival and P63-Dependent Differentiation and Barrier Function

Project description:Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common chronic inflammatory skin disorder characterized by disrupted epidermal barrier function and aberrant immune responses. Despite recent developments in new treatments for AD, there are still unmet needs for the disease management due to its complex and multifactorial nature. Recent genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified NLRP10 as an AD susceptible gene. However, the physiological role of NLRP10 in skin homeostasis and its relevance to AD are unknown. Here we show that NLRP10 promotes keratinocyte survival and facilitates epidermal differentiation and barrier function. Mechanistically, NLRP10 limits cell death by preventing the recruitment of caspase-8 onto the death inducing signaling complex and inhibiting its subsequent activation. NLRP10 also stabilizes p63, the master regulator of keratinocyte differentiation, to drive proper keratinocyte differentiation and to reinforce the barrier function. Importantly, NLRP10 is downregulated in AD skin samples. Our findings underscore NLRP10 as a key player in atopic dermatitis pathogenesis, highlighting NLRP10 as a potential target for therapeutic intervention to restore skin barrier function and homeostasis in AD.

However, the molecular cascades governing keratinocyte terminal differentiation are still poorly understood. We have previously demonstrated that a dominant mutation in ZNF750 leads to a clinical phenotype that reminiscent of psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis. We defined ZNF750 as a nuclear effector that is strongly activated in and essential for keratinocyte terminal differentiation.

The aryl hydrocarbon receptor in keratinocytes is essential for murine skin barrier integrity

Project description:The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) is a ligand-activated transcription factor involved in adaptive cell functions, and highly active in the epidermis. AhR-ligands can accelerate keratinocyte differentiation, but a precise role for AhR in the skin barrier is unknown. We here show that transepidermal water loss (TEWL), a parameter of skin barrier integrity, is high in AhR-deficient (AhR-KO) mice. Experiments with conditionally AhR-deficient mouse lines identified keratinocytes as the major responsible cell population for high TEWL. Electron microscopy showed weaker inter-cellular connectivity in the epidermis of keratinocytes in AhR-KO mice, and gene expression analysis identified many barrier-associated genes as AhR targets. Moreover, AhR-deficient mice had higher inter-individual differences in their microbiome. Interestingly, removing AhR-ligands from the diet of wild-type mice mimicked AhR-deficiency regarding the impaired barrier. Vice versa, re-addition of the plant-derived ligand indole-3-carbinol (I3C) rescued the barrier deficiency even in aged mice. Our results suggest that functional AhR expression is critical for skin barrier integrity and that AhR represents a molecular target for the development of novel therapeutic approaches for skin barrier diseases, including dietary intervention.

Transcriptomic study from total RNA extract from reconstructed Human Epidermis (RHE) at 3 time points and quatriplicats under Afatinib (100 nm) exposure versus vehicle

Project description:Effect of EGFR inhibitors on the epidermis Epidermal Growth Factor inhibitors (EGFRi) used in oncology therapy modify the keratinocyte differentiation processes, impairing proper skin barrier formation and leading to Cutaneous Adverse Drug Reactions (CADR). To uncover the molecular signatures associated with CADRs, we applied phospho-proteomic and transcriptomic assays on Reconstructed Human Epidermis (RHE) tissues exposed to a therapeutically relevant concentration of afatinib, a second EGFRi generation. Following drug exposure, we observed an increased expression of gene families involved in keratinocyte differentiation, senescence, oxidative stress and alterations in the epidermal immune-related markers. Furthermore, our results show that afatinib may interfere with Vitamin D3 (VD3) metabolism, acting via CYP27A1 and CYP24A1 to regulate calcium concentration through the PI3K/AKT pathway. Consequently, basal layer keratinocytes switch from a pro-proliferating to a pro-differentiative program, characterized by upregulation of biomarkers associated with increased keratinization, cornification, Th2 response and decreased innate immunity. Such effects may increase the skin susceptibility to cutaneous penetration of irritants and pathogens.
