Disruption of tuftelin 1, a desmosome associated protein,causesskin fragility, woolly hair and palmoplantar keratoderma

ABSTRACT: Desmosomes are dynamic complex protein structures involved in cellular adhesion. Disruption of these structures by loss of function variants in desmosomal genes lead to a variety of skin and heart related phenotypes. Here, we report tuftelin 1 as a desmosome-associated protein, implicated in epidermal integrity. In two siblings with mild skin fragility, woolly hair and mild palmoplantar keratoderma, but without a cardiac phenotype, we identified a homozygous splice site variant in the TUFT1 gene, leading to aberrant mRNA splicing and loss of tuftelin 1 protein. Patients’ skin and keratinocytes showed acantholysis, perinuclear retraction of intermediate filaments, and reduced mechanical stress resistance. Immunolabeling and transfection studies showed that tuftelin 1 is positioned within the desmosome and its location dependent on the presence of the desmoplakin carboxy-terminal tail. A Tuft1 knock-out mouse model mimicked the patients’ phenotypes. Altogether, this study reveals tuftelin 1 as a desmosome-associated protein, whose absence causes skin fragility, woolly hair and palmoplantar keratoderma.

Expression data from skin of controls and patient with Curth–Macklin

Project description:Ichthyosis Curth–Macklin is a rare genetic disorder that is clinically characterized by severe palmoplantar keratoderma. We have described previously a severe familial phenotype caused by a novel mutation in the KRT1 gene. In this study, we analyzed the skin of one patient using gene expression microarrays. We used microarrays to study the differences of gene expression between normal skin and skin affected by Ichthyosis Curth-Macklin

scRNA-seq reveals differences in cell states and cell types between human hip, palm, and sole skin

Project description:Palmoplantar skin is structurally and functionally unique, but the transcriptional programs driving this specialization are unknown. Here, we exploit single-cell RNA-sequencing of human palm, sole, and hip skin to describe the distinguishing characteristics of palmoplantar and non-palmoplantar skin while also uncovering previously unappreciated differences between palmar and plantar sites. Our approach reveals downregulation of diverse immunological processes and decreased immune cell populations in palmoplantar skin, highlighting an altered immune environment in the skin of the palms and soles. Further, we identify specific palmoplantar and non-palmoplantar fibroblast populations that appear to orchestrate key differences in cell-cell communication in palm, sole, and hip. Dedicated analysis of epidermal keratinocytes highlights major differences in basal cell fraction among the three sites and validates the presence of a more differentiated, cycling basal population. Finally, our data demonstrate the existence of two spinous keratinocyte populations that constitute two parallel, site-selective epidermal differentiation trajectories. Together, these results provide a deep characterization of the highly adapted palmoplantar skin and contribute new insights into the fundamental biology of human skin.

Differential cell composition and split epidermal differentiation in human palm, sole, and hip skin

Project description:Palmoplantar skin is structurally and functionally unique, but the transcriptional programs driving this specialization are unknown.

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. To explore the functional impact of the different TRPV3 mutations on cells, we cloned the wild type and mutant TRPV3 clones into expression vector. The wild-type human TRPV3 gene was amplified from cDNA made from a mixture of human tissue total RNA and cloned into pcDNA3.1 (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA). The accuracy of the cloned sequence was checked with Sanger sequencing. Quick Change II XL site-directed mutagenesis kit (Agilent, Santa Clara, CA) was used to introduce sequence changes corresponding to mutations observed in patients. The HEK293T cells were transfected using Lipofectamine 2000 (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA) according to the manufacturerâs instructions. Cells were also transfected with the same plasmid without insert as control.

Gene expression in Krt16 null paw lesions relative to WT paw skin

Project description:The type I intermediate filament keratin 16 (Krt16 gene; K16 protein) is constitutively expressed in ectoderm-derived appendages and volar palmar/plantar epidermis, and is otherwise inducibly expressed in non-volar epidermis when skin epithelia are under stress. Mutations at the (human) KRT16 locus can cause pachyonychia congenita (PC) and focal non-epidermolytic palmoplantar keratoderma (PPK), which each entail painful calluses on palmar and/or plantar skin. Krt16 null mice develop footpad lesions that mimic several aspects of PC-associated PPK and FNEPPK, including hypoactive Keap1-Nrf2 signaling and elevated expression of skin barrier homeostasis genes and Danger Associated Molecular Patterns (DAMPs). This provides a unique opportunity to understand the intricacies of PPK and devise effective therapies (see Lessard and Coulombe, J. Invest. Dermatol. 2012; Lessard et al. PNAS (USA) 2013; Kerns et al. J. Clin. Invest. 2016; Kerns et al., J. Invest. Dermatol. 2018; Zieman and Coulombe Exp. Dermatol. 2018). Here, we report on insight gained from a genome-wide analysis of gene expression in PPK-like lesions of Krt16 null mice. In this dataset, we include expression data obtained from Krt16 null paw skin lesions and WT littermate controls (C57Bl/6 strain background) at two months of age.
