Histone deacetylase 4 reverses cellular senescence via DDIT4 in dermal fibroblasts

ABSTRACT: Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are known to be a class of enzymes that remove acetyl groups from lysine chains on histones or other proteins, and play a crucial role in epigenetic regulation and aging process. Previous studies have identified that HDAC4 is down-regulated in aged and UV-irradiated skin in vivo. Therefore, HDAC4 may be an important role in skin aging process. However, the role of HDAC4 in skin aging is rarely known. In this study, we conducted the integrative transcriptome analysis of overexpression and knockdown of HDAC4, and UV- or H2O2-induced senescence in human dermal fibroblast and identified candidate genes which are regulated by HDAC4. Among these genes, DNA damage-inducible transcript 4 (DDIT4) was significantly regulated by HDAC4. We demonstrated that DDIT4 expression was downregulated during senescence and HDAC4 overexpression prevented senescence-induced decrease of DDIT4. In addition, overexpression of DDIT4 reduced SASP and aged-related genes that could promote aging, suggesting that DDIT4 may prevent senescence. Collectively, our results have shown that HDAC4 may play an important role in preventing skin aging by inducing DDIT4 expression.

Project description:Aging is characterized by a gradual decline in function, partly due to molecular damage that accumulates over time. Human skin is highly susceptible to both chronological aging and environmental damage in the form of UV photoaging. This results in detrimental structural and physiological changes with age. In this study we sought to comprehensively address both chronological and photoaging at the single-cell level, and to explore genetic and environmental factors, revealing their influences on the aging process. We included samples from young, middle-aged, and old individuals, and with these samples, we compared chronological aging and photoaging. Utilizing single-cell RNA sequencing, we created a comprehensive human skin cell atlas, that offers insights into the cellular composition and functions. We investigated the renewal ability of epidermis stem cells as they age and extended the study to fibroblasts, hair follicles, and endothelial cells. Examining the genetic landscape of aging in keratinocytes, we identified two distinct "gene modules" with altered gene expression during aging. Furthermore, we uncovered that skin aging involves interactions between epidermal keratinocytes and dermal fibroblasts, as well as extensive communication of keratinocytes with various other skin cell types as revealed through ligand-receptor pairs. Interactions, such as COL17A1-A1b1complex, highlighted a direct link between keratinocytes and fibroblast stimulation for collagen production. Most importantly, A key gene, MYO1, associated with skin aging was identified, leading to the development of an innovative mRNA treatment aimed at promoting skin rejuvenation by targeting this gene. Experimental results demonstrated that the mRNA treatment reduces basal stem cell senescence, increases basal stem cell proliferation, and enhances collagen production in fibroblasts via keratinocyte-fibroblast communication. The MYO1-targeted treatment is validated as an effective strategy for reversing skin aging by targeting cellular mechanisms.
