Single-cell analysis of human dermal fibroblasts isolated from a single male donor over 35 years


ABSTRACT: Background: Skin homeostasis is mediated by dermal fibroblasts and is affected by aging. Although age-related heterogeneity in fibroblasts has been reported, the effects of donor and species on this heterogeneity are unclear. Methods: To analyze age-related transcriptomic changes in human dermal fibroblasts, single-cell RNA sequencing was performed on dermal fibroblasts (ASF-4 cells) collected from the inner forearm of a volunteer over three decades. Results: Four main cell subpopulations changed with donor age and showed proliferative, homeostasis, fibrotic, and senescence functional annotations. The downregulation of the expression of genes encoding key extracellular matrix production and mechanotransduction components decreased with donor age. Interestingly, dermal fibroblasts have two putative differentiation pathways: one that involves the acquisition of senescent properties and the acquisition of fibrotic properties without the suppression of proliferation. Aging induced fibroblast differentiation in a manner involving the acquisition of senescent properties. Conclusion:Reconciling the various aspects of fibroblast heterogeneity may provide insight into the mechanisms underlying human skin aging and associated phenomena, including wrinkles, sagging, delayed wound healing, and suppressed scar formation.
