SASH1 S519N variant links skin hyperpigmentation and premature hair graying to dysfunction of melanocyte lineage

ABSTRACT: A better understanding of human melanocyte and melanocyte stem cell (McSC) biology is essential for treating melanocyte-related diseases. This study employed an inherited pigmentation disorder carrying the SASH1S519N variant in a Hispanic family to investigate the SASH1 function in melanocyte lineage and the underlying mechanism for this disorder. We used a multidisciplinary approach, including clinical exams, human cell assays, yeast two-hybrid screening, and biochemical techniques. Results linked early hair graying to the SASH1S519N variant, a previously unrecognized clinical phenotype in hyperpigmentation disorders. We identified SASH1 as a novel regulator in McSC maintenance and discovered that TNKS2 is crucial for SASH1’s role in vitro. Additionally, the S519N variant is located in one of multiple tankyrase binding motifs and alters the binding kinetics and affinity of the interaction. In summary, this disorder showcases accelerated aging in human McSC, linking both gain and loss of pigmentation to McSC dysfunction in the same individuals. The findings offer new insights into the roles of SASH1 and TNKS2 in McSC maintenance and the molecular mechanisms of pigmentation disorders. We propose that a comprehensive clinical evaluation of patients with skin disorders should include an assessment and history of hair pigmentation loss.

Sexual dimorphism in melanocyte stem cell behavior reveals combinational therapeutic strategies for cutaneous repigmentation [scRNA-seq]

Project description:Vitiligo is an autoimmune skin disease caused by cutaneous melanocyte loss. Although phototherapy and T cell suppression therapy have been widely used to induce epidermal re-pigmentation, full pigmentation recovery is rarely achieved due to our poor understanding of the cellular and molecular mechanisms governing this process. Here, we identify unique melanocyte stem cell (McSC) epidermal migration rates between male and female mice, which is due to sexually dimorphic cutaneous inflammatory responses generated by ultra-violet B exposure. Using genetically engineered mouse models, and unbiased bulk and single-cell mRNA sequencing approaches, we determine that manipulating the inflammatory response through cyclooxygenase and its downstream prostaglandin product regulates McSC proliferation and epidermal migration in response to UVB exposure. Furthermore, we demonstrate that a combinational therapy that manipulates both macrophages and T cells (or innate and adaptive immunity) significantly promotes epidermal melanocyte re-population. With these findings, we propose a novel therapeutic strategy for repigmentation in patients with depigmentation conditions such as vitiligo.

Expression analysis of melanocyte stem cells from Mitfmi-vga9/+ mice reveals a role for MITF in the transcriptional regulation of innate immune gene expression

Project description:Melanocyte stem cells (McSCs) and mouse models of hair graying serve as useful systems to uncover mechanisms involved in stem cell self-renewal and the maintenance of regenerating tissues. Interested in assessing genetic variants of hair graying, we found that the Mitfmi-vga9/+ strain of mice is susceptible to loss of McSC maintenance via ectopic McSC differentiation. Based on transcriptome and molecular analyses of Mitfmi-vga9/+ mice we report a novel role for MITF in the regulation of systemic innate immune gene expression. We also demonstrate that viral mimic (poly I:C) is sufficient to expose genetic susceptibility to hair graying. These observations point to a critical suppressor of innate immunity and the consequences of its dysregulation, and for melanocytes, both may have particular implications for the autoimmune, depigmenting disease vitiligo.

Genome-wide analysis of differential gene expression in human embryonic stem cell-derived central nervous system, neural crest, and progenitor populations over time

Project description:Melanocytes are pigment-producing cells of neural crest origin responsible for protecting the skin against UV-irradiation. Melanocyte dysfunction leads to pigmentation defects including albinism, vitiligo, and piebaldism and is a key feature of systemic pathologies such as Hermansky-Pudlak (HP) and Chediak-Higashi (CH) Syndromes. Pluripotent stem cell technology offers a novel approach for studying human melanocyte development and disease. Here we report that timed exposure to activators of WNT, BMP and EDN3 signaling triggers the sequential induction of neural crest and melanocyte precursor fates under dual-SMAD inhibition conditions. Using a SOX10::GFP hESC reporter line, we demonstrate that the temporal onset of WNT activation is particularly critical for human neural crest induction. Surprisingly, suppression of BMP signaling does reduce neural crest yield. Subsequent differentiation of hESC-derived melanocyte precursors under defined conditions yields pure populations of pigmented cells matching the molecular and functional properties of adult melanocytes. Melanocytes from patient-specific iPSCs faithfully reproduce the ultrastructural features of the HP- and CH-specific pigmentation defects with minimal variability across lines. Our data define a highly specific requirement for WNT signaling during neural crest induction and enable the generation of pure populations of hiPSC-derived melanocytes for faithful modeling of human pigmentation disorders. Total RNA obtained from a timecourse of Dual SMAD Inhibition (DSi), Neural Crest (NC), and Melanocyte (BE) differentiation of human embryonic stem cells in triplicate.

Dynamic regulation of chromatin accessibility during melanocyte stem cell activation

Project description:We sorted melanocyte nuclei from quiescent (telogen) skin, skin actively producing hair shafts (anagen), and skin exposed to UVB. With these sorted nuclei, we then utilized single-nucleus assay for transposase-accessible chromatin with high-throughput sequencing (snATAC-seq) and characterized three melanocyte lineages: quiescent McSCs (qMcSCs), activated McSCs (aMcSCs), and differentiated melanocytes (dMCs) that co-exist in all three skin conditions. Furthermore, we successfully identified differentially accessible genes and enriched transcription factor binding motifs for each melanocyte lineage. Our findings reveal potential gene regulators that determine these melanocyte cell states and provide new insights into how aMcSC chromatin states are regulated differently under divergent intrinsic and extrinsic cues. We also provide a publicly available online tool with a user-friendly interface to explore this comprehensive dataset, which will provide a resource for further studies on McSC regulation upon natural or UVB-mediated stem cell activation.

Microarray analysis of B16 cells in pigmentation oscillator

Project description:Cellular homeostasis is an outcome of complex interacting processes with nonlinear feedbacks that span spatiotemporal scales. Skin tanning is one such dynamic response that maintains genome integrity of epidermal cells. While pathways underlying hyperpigmentation cascade are recognized, negative feedback regulatory loops that can dampen the activated melanogenesis process are not completely understood. By designing a pigmentation oscillator, in this study we delineate the role of interferon gamma (IFN-γ) signaling in skin pigmentation homeostasis. IFN-γ signaling reversibly controls maturation of the key organelle melanosome by concerted regulation of several pigmentation genes. We show that this temporal effect is mediated through interferon regulatory factor-1 (IRF-1) independent of the central regulator microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF). Chronic expression of IFN-γ in mouse and human skin shows hypopigmentation phenotype, further providing a strong support to the under-appreciated function of IFN-γ in skin pigmentation. Our studies thus reveal the hitherto missing link between immune system and pigmentation, which may have implications in depigmentary and malignant cutaneous disorders. there are 12 samples from two consecutive cycles of pigmentation oscillator, termed set 1 and set 2 analysis is performed wrt to day 0 of first cycle

Dissection of melanocyte stem cell transcriptomes during melanocyte regeneration in adult zebrafish

Project description:To elucidate mechanisms governing McSC self-renewal and differentiation we analyzed individual transcriptomes from thousands of melanocyte lineage cells during the regeneration process. We identified transcriptional signatures for McSCs, deciphered transcriptional changes and intermediate cell states during regeneration, and analyzed cell-cell signaling changes to discover mechanisms governing melanocyte regeneration.
