Project description:Eccrine sweat gland is an exocrine gland that is involved in the secretion of sweat for control of temperature. Malfunction of the sweat glands can result in disorders such as miliaria, hyperhidrosis and bromhidrosis. In addition, lack of reabsorption of Cl- ions from reabsorptive duct of eccrine sweat gland is a major feature of cystic fibrosis. Understanding the proteome of eccrine sweat glands is important for understanding the physiology of sweat formation. In spite of this, no systematic transcriptome or proteome analysis of eccrine sweat glands has yet been reported. To this end, we isolated eccrine sweat glands by microdissecting them from human skin and performed both RNA-seq and proteome analysis. In total, ~138,000 transcripts and ~6,100 proteins were identified. The proteome data showed the enrichment in protein digestion/absorption and salivary secretion, while the transcriptome data did not show any enrichment for a specific pathway. This study also enabled us to confirm 2 missing proteins. Integrating RNA-seq and proteomic data allowed us to identify 7 peptides from 5 novel genes. Most of the novel proteins were from short open reading frames (sORFs) suggesting that many sORFs still remain to be annotated in the human genome. The peptides mapping to the missing or novel proteins were validated by analyzing synthetic peptides. This study provides the first integrated analysis of the transcriptome and proteome of the human eccrine sweat gland and should become an invaluable resource to biomedical research community for studying sweat glands in physiology and disease.

Project description:The eccrine sweat gland is an exocrine gland that is involved in the secretion of sweat for control of temperature. Malfunction of the sweat glands can result in disorders such as miliaria, hyperhidrosis and bromhidrosis. In addition, inadequate reabsorption of salt from sweat is a major feature of cystic fibrosis. Understanding the transcriptome and proteome of sweat glands is important for understanding the physiology and the role in disease. However, no systematic transcriptome or proteome analysis of sweat glands has yet been reported. To this end, we isolated eccrine sweat glands by microdissecting them from human skin and performed both RNA-seq and proteome analysis. In total, ~138,000 transcripts and ~6,100 proteins were identified. The proteome data of eccrine sweat gland showed enrichment of proteins involved in secretion, reabsorption, and wound healing while the transcriptome data did not show any enrichment for a specific pathway. Importantly, protein level identification of TRPV4 in eccrine sweat gland establishes its importance in re-epithelialization of partial-thickness wound and prevention of dehydration. Furthermore, this study enabled us to identify2 missing proteins. Integration of RNA-seq and proteomic data allowed us to identify 7 peptides from 5 novel genes.

Project description:K and Cl channels play critical role for sweat secretion, however, individual K or Cl channels and their functions are largely unknown. By comparing expreession profilings between wild-type and Eda mutant Tabby footpads we identified 4 K and 2 Cl channels highly expressed in mouse eccrine sweat glands.

Project description:In clinical routine, the diagnosis of cystic fibrosis (CF) is still a challenge due to the limitations of diagnosis guidelines and tests. A diagnosis test of choice, the sweat test measures eccrine sweat chloride concentration as a byproduct of the eccrine sweat gland CFTR function. Despite the combined use of CFTR genotyping and direct physiologic testing of CFTR function, reports of inconclusive diagnosis justified the need for alternative tests and new biomarkers. Meanwhile, eccrine sweat composition has already been linked to disease-specific profiles of non-electrolytes (i.e. proteins, peptides and metabolites). In this study, we analyzed sweat samples from 28 healthy volunteers and 14 CF patients by UHPLC-Q-Orbitrap-based Shotgun proteomics, to address CF-related changes in sweat protein composition and abundance. Over 1000 proteins were identified and quantified in a label-free manner. Beside similar protein composition, enrichment and functional classifications, HV and CF samples were grouped apart since protein abundance profiles were significantly correlated with CF status and degree of severity (ΔF508 homozygous and pancreatic insufficiency onset). Four-hundred and two proteins in CF-specific abundance, 68 proteins in genotype-specific abundance and 71 proteins in abundance related to pancreatic status, respectively, highlighted eccrine gland cell perturbations in protein biosynthesis & trafficking, CFTR proteostasis & membrane stability, cell-cell adherence, membrane integrity & cytoskeleton crosstalk. Cytoskeleton-related biomarkers were of utmost interest because of consistent abundances between CF sweat and other CF tissues. Nine clinical CF diagnosis biomarker (CUTA, ARG1, EZR, AGA, FLNA, MAN1A1, MIA3, LFNG, SIAE) and 5 CF severity biomarker (ARG1, GPT, MDH2, EML4 (ΔF508 homozygous), MGAT1 (pancreatic insufficiency)) candidates were deemed suitable for further verification.

Project description:The potential of eccrine sweat as a bio-fluid of interest for diagnosis and personalized therapy has not yet been fully evaluated, due to the lack of in-depth sweat characterization studies. Thanks to recent developments in the field of omics together with the availability of accredited eccrine sweat collection methods, the analysis of human sweat may now be envisioned as a standardized, non-invasive test for individualized monitoring and personalized medicine. Here, we characterized individual sweat samples, collected from 28 healthy adult volunteers under the most standardized sampling methodology, by applying an optimized Shotgun proteomic analysis. This deep characterization of the sweat proteome allowed the identification of about 1000 unique proteins from which 347 were identified across all samples. Annotation-wise, the study of the sweat proteome unveiled the over-representation of newly addressed Actin dynamics, oxidative stress and proteasome-related functions, in addition to well-described proteolysis and anti-microbial immunity. The sweat proteome composition appeared to be correlated to the inter-individual variability of sweat secretion parameters (water and solute losses). Besides, both gender-exclusive proteins and gender-specific protein abundances were highlighted in spite of the high similarity between human female and male sweat proteomes. In conclusion, standardized sample collection coupled to optimized shotgun proteomics significantly improved the depth of sweat proteome coverage, far beyond previous similar studies. The identified proteins were involved in many diverse biological processes and molecular functions indicating the potential of this bio-fluid as a valuable biological matrix for further studies. Addressing sweat variability, our results prove the proteomic profiling of sweat to be a promising bio-fluid for individualized, non-invasive monitoring and personalized medicine.

Project description:Sweat glands are abundant glands of our body and essential for thermoregulation. Like mammary glands, they originate from epidermal progenitors. However, they display few signs of cellular turnover, and whether they have stem cells and tissue regenerative capacity remain largely unexplored. Here we address these issues. Using lineage-tracing, we identify multipotent progenitors in sweat duct that transition to unipotency after developing the sweat gland. In characterizing four adult stem cell populations of glandular skin, we show that they display distinct regenerative capabilities and remain unipotent when healing epidermal, myoepithelial-specific and luminal-specific injuries. We devise purification schemes, isolate and transcriptionally profile progenitors. Exploiting molecular differences between sweat and mammary glands, we show that only some progenitors regain multipotency to produce de novo ductal and glandular structures, but that these can retain their identity even within certain foreign microenvironments. Our findings provide new concepts about glandular stem cells and sweat gland biology.
