Tenascin-C expressing touch dome keratinocytes exhibit characteristics of all epidermal lineages.

Project description:The touch dome (TD) keratinocytes are specialized epidermal cells that intimately associate with the light touch sensing Merkel cells (MCs). The TD keratinocytes function as a niche for the MCs and can induce de novo hair follicles upon stimulation; however, how the TD keratinocytes are maintained during homeostasis remains unclear. scRNA-seq identified a specific TD keratinocyte marker, Tenascin-C (TNC). Lineage tracing of Tnc-expressing TD keratinocytes revealed that these cells maintain themselves as an autonomous epidermal compartment and give rise to MCs upon injury. Molecular characterization uncovered that, while the transcriptional and chromatin landscape of the TD keratinocytes is remarkably similar to that of the interfollicular epidermal keratinocytes, it also shares certain molecular signatures with the hair follicle keratinocytes. Our study highlights that the TD keratinocytes in the adult skin have molecular characteristics of keratinocytes of diverse epidermal lineages.

The touch dome defines an epidermal niche specialized for mechanosensory signaling.

Project description:In mammalian skin, Merkel cells are mechanoreceptor cells that are required for the perception of gentle touch. Recent evidence indicates that mature Merkel cells descend from the proliferative layer of skin epidermis; however, the stem cell niche for Merkel cell homeostasis has not been reported. Here, we provide genetic evidence for maintenance of mature Merkel cells during homeostasis by Krt17+ stem cells located in epidermal touch domes of hairy skin and in the tips of the rete ridges of glabrous skin. Lineage tracing analysis indicated that the entire pool of mature Merkel cells is turned over every 7-8 weeks in the adult epidermis and that Krt17+ stem cells also maintain squamous differentiation in the touch dome and in glabrous skin. Finally, selective genetic ablation of Krt17+ touch-dome keratinocytes indicates that these cells, and not mature Merkel cells, are primarily responsible for maintaining innervation of the Merkel cell-neurite complex.

Gene Expression Profile Analysis of Human Epidermal Keratinocytes Expressing Human Papillomavirus Type 8 E7.

Project description:Background: Human papillomavirus type 8 (HPV8) has been implicated in the progress of non-melanoma skin cancers and their precursor lesions. The HPV8 E7 oncoprotein plays a key role in the tumorigenesis of HPV-associated cutaneous tumors. However, the exact role of HPV8 E7 in human epidermal carcinogenesis has not been fully elucidated. Methods: To investigate the potential carcinogenic effects of HPV8 E7 on epithelial cells, we used RNA-sequencing technology to analyze the gene expression profile of HPV8 E7-overexpressed normal human epidermal keratinocytes (NHEKs). Results: RNA-sequencing revealed 831 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between HPV8 E7-expressing NHEKs and control cells, among which, 631 genes were significantly upregulated, and 200 were downregulated. Gene ontology annotation enrichment analysis showed that HPV8 E7 mainly affected the expression of genes associated with protein heterodimerization activity, DNA binding, nucleosomes, and nucleosome assembly. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway enrichment analysis revealed that overexpression of HPV8 E7 affected the expression of gene clusters associated with viral carcinogenesis and transcriptional misregulation in cancer and necroptosis signaling pathways that reportedly play crucial roles in HPV infection promotion and cancer progression. We also found the DEGs, such as HKDC1 and TNFAIP3, were associated with epigenetic modifications, immune regulation, and metabolic pathways. Conclusion: Our results demonstrate that the pro-carcinogenic effect of HPV8 expression in epithelial cells may be attributed to the regulatory effect of oncogene E7 on gene expression associated with epigenetic modifications and immune and metabolic status-associated gene expression. Although our data are based on an in vitro experiment, it provides the theoretical evidence that the development of squamous cell carcinoma can be caused by HPV.

Neural Hedgehog signaling maintains stem cell renewal in the sensory touch dome epithelium.

Project description:The touch dome is a highly patterned mechanosensory structure in the epidermis composed of specialized keratinocytes in juxtaposition with innervated Merkel cells. The touch dome epithelium is maintained by tissue-specific stem cells, but the signals that regulate the touch dome are not known. We identify touch dome stem cells that are unique among epidermal cells in their activated Hedgehog signaling and ability to maintain the touch dome as a distinct lineage compartment. Skin denervation reveals that renewal of touch dome stem cells requires a perineural microenvironment, and deleting Sonic hedgehog (Shh) in neurons or Smoothened in the epidermis demonstrates that Shh is an essential niche factor that maintains touch dome stem cells. Up-regulation of Hedgehog signaling results in neoplastic expansion of touch dome keratinocytes but no Merkel cell neoplasia. These findings demonstrate that nerve-derived Shh is a critical regulator of lineage-specific stem cells that maintain specialized sensory compartments in the epidermis.

Murine epidermal Langerhans cells and langerin-expressing dermal dendritic cells are unrelated and exhibit distinct functions.

Project description:A new langerin(+) DC subset has recently been identified in murine dermis (langerin(+) dDC), but the lineage and functional relationships between these cells and langerin(+) epidermal Langerhans cells (LC) are incompletely characterized. Selective expression of the cell adhesion molecule EpCAM by LC allowed viable LC to be easily distinguished from langerin(+) dDC in skin and lymphoid tissue and ex vivo as well. Differential expression of EpCAM and langerin revealed the presence of at least 3 distinct skin DC subsets. We determined that LC and langerin(+) dDC exhibit different migratory capabilities in vitro and repopulate distinct anatomic compartments in skin at different rates after conditional depletion in vivo. Langerin(+) dDC, in contrast to LC, did not require TGFbeta1 for development. Carefully timed gene gun immunization studies designed to take advantage of the distinct repopulation kinetics of langerin(+) dDC and LC revealed that langerin(+) dDC were required for optimal production of beta-galactosidase-specific IgG2a/c and IgG2b in the acute phase. In contrast, immunization via LC-deficient skin resulted in persistent and strikingly reduced IgG1 and enhanced IgG2a Ab production. Our data support the concepts that LC and langerin(+) dDC represent distinct DC subsets that have specialized functions and that LC are important immunoregulatory cells. The presence of at least 3 functionally distinct skin DC subsets may have particular relevance for vaccines that are administered epicutaneously.
