KLF5 governs sphingolipid metabolism and barrier function of the skin

ABSTRACT: Stem cells are fundamental units of tissue remodeling, whose functions are dictated by lineage-specific transcription factors. Home to epidermal stem cells and their upward stratifying progenies, skin relies upon its secretory functions to form the outmost protective barrier, of which a transcriptional orchestrator has been elusive. KLF5 is a Krüppel-like transcription factor broadly involved in development and regeneration, whose lineage specificity, if any, remains unclear. Here we report KLF5 specifically marks the epidermis, and its deletion leads to skin barrier dysfunction in vivo. Lipid envelopes and secretory lamellar bodies are defective in KLF5-deficient skin, accompanied by preferential loss of complex sphingolipids. KLF5 binds to and transcriptionally regulates genes encoding rate-limiting sphingolipid metabolism enzymes. Remarkably, skin barrier defects elicited by KLF5 ablation can be rescued by dietary interventions. Finally, we found KLF5 is widely suppressed in human diseases with disrupted epidermal secretion, and its regulation of sphingolipid metabolism is conserved in human skin. Altogether, we establish KLF5 as a disease-relevant transcription factor governing sphingolipid metabolism and barrier function in the skin, likely representing a long-sought secretory lineage defining factor across tissue types.

TGM1 interaction partners identification reveals possible TGM1 posttranslational modifiers

Project description:TGM1 is an enzyme that cross-links structural proteins in the uppermost granular layer of the epidermis to form cornified envelopes. Cornified envelopes ensure functional stratum corneum and epidermal barrier formation. It has been suggested that the activity of TGM1 is regulated on a posttranslational level. To identify endogenous TGM1 interactors, Virotrap has been performed.

Epidermal RORα maintains barrier integrity and prevents allergic inflammation by regulating late differentiation and lipid metabolism

Project description:The skin epidermis provides a vital barrier for preventing transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and environmental stimuli. However, the molecular mechanisms ensuring barrier integrity remain not fully understood. RORα is a nuclear receptor highly expressed in the epidermis of normal skin. However, its epidermal expression is significantly reduced in the lesions of multiple inflammatory skin diseases. In this study, using mice with epidermis-specific Rora gene deletion (RoraEKO), we have demonstrated the central roles of RORα in stabilizing skin barrier function. Albeit the lack of spontaneous skin lesion or dermatitis, RoraEKO mice exhibited elevated TEWL rate and skin features indicating barrier dysfunction. The histological and lipidomic analysis uncovered low levels of cornified envelope proteins and aberrant ceramide composition in the RoraEKO epidermis, implying disturbed late epidermal differentiation. In parallel, RNA-seq analysis revealed altered transcription levels of gene clusters related to “keratinization” and “lipid metabolism” in RORα deficient epidermis. Importantly, epidermal Rora ablation greatly amplified percutaneous allergic inflammatory responses to oxazolone in a mouse allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) model. Our results substantiated the essence of epidermal RORα in maintaining late keratinocyte differentiation and normal barrier function while suppressing cutaneous inflammation.

Role of Znf750 in skin development

Project description:The skin epidermis is a constantly renewing stratified epithelial tissue that provides essential protective barrier functions. The major barrier is at the outermost layers of the epidermis, formed by terminally differentiated keratinocytes reinforced by proteins and lipids of their cornified envelope (CE), and disruptions to this process characterizes common skin disorders. ZNF750 is an epithelial transcription factor essential for in vitro keratinocyte differentiation, whose autosomal dominant mutation in humans causes psoriasis-like skin disease. Here, we report epidermal-specific Znf750 conditional knockout mouse model utilized to uncover the role of Znf750 in epidermal development. We show that deletion of Znf750 in the developing skin does not block epidermal differentiation, suggesting in vivo compensatory feedback mechanisms, yet results in impaired barrier function and perinatal lethality. Molecular dissection uncovered ultrastructural defects in the differentiated layers of the epidermis, accompanied by alterations in the expression of ZNF750-dependent genes encoding for key proteins and lipids involved in CE formation, including gene subsets known to be mutated in skin disease with impaired barrier function.

Sphingosine-1-phosphate phosphatase 1 regulates keratinocyte differentiation and epidermal homeostasis

Project description:Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) is a bioactive lipid whose levels are tightly regulated by its synthesis and degradation. Intracellularly, S1P is dephosphoryled by the actions of two S1P-specific phosphatases, sphingosine 1-phosphate phosphatase 1 and 2. To identify the physiologic functions of S1P phosphatase 1, we have studied mice with its gene, Sgpp1, deleted. Sgpp1-/- mice appeared normal at birth but during the first week of life, they exhibited stunted growth, suffered desquamation, and most died before weaning. Interestingly, the epidermal permeability barrier developed normally during embryogenesis. Sgpp1 -/- pups and surviving adults exhibited epidermal hyperplasia and abnormal expression of keratinocyte differentiation markers. Keratinocytes isolated from Sgpp1 -/- skin had increased intracellular S1P levels, and expressed a gene expression profile that indicated enhanced differentiation. The results reveal S1P metabolism as a regulator of keratinocyte differentiation and epidermal homeostasis. Comparison of KO vs. WT with five replications per treatment sample

Effects of CerS4 deletion in murine epidermis on proteome and lipidome

Project description:Epidermal deletion of the lipid modifying enzyme CerS4 causes epidermal barrier impairments associated with human skin diseases. Proteomes of Wt newborn and P47 mice were compared in order to identify molecular differences between barrier formation and maintenance. Proteomes of epidermal splits from Ctr and CerS4epi-/- at different ages (P21, P33, P47) were compared, to identify the effect of CerS4 on barrier maintenance.

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

Project description: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.

Conditional keratinocyte-specific ADAM17 knockout in mice alters skin homeostasis

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.

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

Project description: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.

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)
