Single-cell transcriptomics of human-skin-equivalent organoids

ABSTRACT: Several methods for generating human-skin-equivalent (HSE) organoid cultures are in use to study skin biology; however, few studies thoroughly characterize these systems. To fill this gap, we use single-cell transcriptomics to compare in vitro HSEs, xenograft HSEs, and in vivo epidermis. By combining differential gene expression, pseudotime analyses, and spatial localization, we reconstruct HSE keratinocyte differentiation trajectories that recapitulate known in vivo epidermal differentiation pathways and show that HSEs contain major in vivo cellular states. However, HSEs also develop unique keratinocyte states, an expanded basal stem cell program, and disrupted terminal differentiation. Cell-cell communication modeling shows aberrant epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-associated signaling pathways that alter upon epidermal growth factor (EGF) supplementation. Last, xenograft HSEs at early time points post transplantation significantly rescue many in vitro deficits while undergoing a hypoxic response that drives an alternative differentiation lineage. This study highlights the strengths and limitations of organoid cultures and identifies areas for potential innovation.

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)

Single-cell transcriptomic analysis of immune responses within a microfluidic skin equivalent

Project description:Microfluidic human skin equivalents (HSEs) were constructed by 3D printing and consisted of an endothelial lined vascular microchannel within a 3D dermal matrix embedded with fibroblasts. Keratinocytes were cultured on the surface to mimic the epidermis. Following exposure of the epidermis to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and nigericin, human monocytes were injected into the vascular channel and migrated into the HSE. Single-cell RNA sequencing was performed on control or treated HSEs after 1 or 6 days to analyse the inflammatory and immunological responses to LPS and nigericin activation. These studies identified dynamic upregulation and resolution of inflammatory gene signatures in the tissue resident cells in response to treatment, alongside differentiation of monocytes into tissue resident macrophages.

Regulation of epidermal differentiation through KDF1-mediated deubiquitination of IKKα

Project description:Progenitor cells at the basal layer of skin epidermis play an essential role in maintaining tissue homeostasis and enhancing wound repair in skin. The proliferation, differentiation, and cell death of epidermal progenitor cells have to be delicately regulated, as deregulation of this process can lead to many skin diseases, including skin cancers. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms involved in skin homeostasis remain poorly defined. In this study, with quantitative proteomics approach, we identified an important interaction between KDF1 (Keratinocyte Differentiation Factor 1) and IKKα (IκB kinase α) in differentiating skin keratinocytes. Ablation of either KDF1 or IKKα in mice leads to similar but striking abnormalities in skin development, particularly in skin epidermal differentiation. With biochemical and mouse genetics approach, we further demonstrate that the interaction of IKKα and KDF1 is essential for epidermal differentiation. To probe deeper into the mechanisms, we find that KDF1 associates with a deubiquitinating protease, USP7 (Ubiquitin Specific Peptidase 7), and KDF1 can regulate skin differentiation through deubiquitination and stabilization of IKKα. Taken together, our study unravels an important molecular mechanism underlying skin tissue homeostasis and epidermal differentiation.

Characterization of human monocytic cell line THP-1 associated with human 3D skin models under UVA exposure

Project description:Tissue resident macrophages play important roles in tissue homeostasis and acute response to external stimuli. Human skin equivalents (HSEs) incorporating human monocytic cell line THP-1, were fabricated to generate immunocompetent human skin models. These HSEs were used to investigate the influence of the skin microenvironment and UVA exposure on the phenotypes of macrophages. THP-1 in HSEs exhibited mixed M1 and M2 macrophage phenotypes. Transcriptomic analysis demonstrated that THP-1 in HSEs enriched extracellular matrix interaction while downregulated a DNA replication hallmark. Upon UVA exposure, immunocompetent HSEs exhibited epidermal distortion and increased DNA double-strand breaks (DSB). THP-1 isolated from UVA-exposed HSEs revealed significant upregulation of genes associated with oxidative stress, antioxidant regulation, inflammatory and UV response. A photoprotective agent, mycosporine-2-glycine (M2G), derived from cyanobacteria was applied on to immunocompetent HSEs and the responses of THP-1 cell line was investigated after UVA exposure. The result showed that UVA-induced DSB was significantly lower in M2G-treated HSEs. In addition, the inflammatory and UV response hallmarks were downregulated while the oxidative phosphorylation hallmark was upregulated in THP-1 from M2G-treated UVA exposed HSEs. Taken together, this study provides an immunocompetent 3D skin model that can be used to interrogate responses of skin resident innate immune cells to microenvironment and external stimuli such as UVA irradiation.

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.

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. 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.

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.

Molecular effects of different TRPV3 Mutations

Project description:To understand the impact of dysfunctional TRPV3 on keratinocyte proliferation and differentiation, we conducted transcriptomic analysis on cells that express cloned different TRPV3 mutations identified in focal palmoplantar keratoderma (FPPK) patients and identified a number of perturbed pathways associated with epidermal cells construction and development. We also analyzed the molecular changes of skin biopsy samples from patients. Our data suggests that TRPV3 dysfunction inhibits keratinocyte differentiation, actives apoptosis pathway resulted in cell death, and disturbs the balance between keratinocyte proliferation and differentiation processes in the skin.

RNA-seq identifies a diminished differentiation gene signature in primary monolayer keratinocytes grown from lesional and uninvolved psoriatic skin

Project description:Keratinocyte (KC) hyper-proliferation and epidermal thickening are characteristic features of psoriasis lesions, but the specific contributions of KCs to plaque formation are not fully understood. This study used RNA-seq to investigate the transcriptome of primary monolayer KC cultures grown from lesional (PP) and non-lesional (PN) biopsies of psoriasis patients and control subjects (NN). Whole skin biopsies from the same subjects were evaluated concurrently. RNA-seq analysis of whole skin identified a larger number of psoriasis-increased differentially expressed genes (DEGs), but analysis of KC cultures identified more PP- and PN-decreased DEGs. These latter DEG sets overlapped more strongly with genes near loci identified by psoriasis genome-wide association studies and were enriched for genes associated with epidermal differentiation. Consistent with this, the frequency of AP-1 motifs was elevated in regions upstream of PN-KC-decreased DEGs. A subset of these genes belonged to the same co-expression module, mapped to the epidermal differentiation complex, and exhibited differentiation-dependent expression. These findings demonstrate a decreased differentiation gene signature in PP/PN-KCs that had not been identified by pre-genomic studies of patient-derived monolayers. This may reflect intrinsic defects limiting psoriatic KC differentiation capacity, which may contribute to compromised barrier function in normal-appearing uninvolved psoriatic skin.
