ZNF750 in late keratinocyte differentiation

ABSTRACT: Disrupted skin barrier due to altered keratinocyte differentiation is common in pathologic conditions such as atopic dermatitis, ichthyosis and psoriasis. However, the molecular cascades governing keratinocyte terminal differentiation are still poorly understood. We have previously demonstrated that a dominant mutation in ZNF750 leads to a clinical phenotype that reminiscent of psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis. We defined ZNF750 as a nuclear effector that is strongly activated in and essential for keratinocyte terminal differentiation. ZNF750 knockdown in HaCaT keratinocytes markedly reduced the expression of epidermal late differentiation markers, including gene subsets of epidermal differentiation complex and skin barrier formation such as FLG, LOR, SPINK5, ALOX12B and DSG1, known to be mutated in various human skin diseases. Furthermore, ZNF750 over-expression in undifferentiated cells induced terminal differentiation genes. Thus, ZNF750 is a regulator of keratinocyte terminal differentiation, and with its downstream targets can serve in future elucidation of therapeutics for common disease of skin barrier

Broad defects in epidermal cornification in atopic dermatitis (AD) identified through genomic analysis

Project description:In this study we used genomic profiling to characterize differences in expression of genes related to epidermal growth/differentiation and inflammatory circuits in skin lesions of psoriasis and atopic dermatitis (AD), comparing expression values to normal skin. Skin biopsies were collected from 9 patients with chronic atopic dermatitis, 15 psoriasis patients, and 9 healthy volunteers. Keywords: Genetic-pathology Psoriasis and AD are common inflammatory skin diseases which share important features, including: 1) large infiltrates of T-cells and inflammatory dendritic cells in skin lesions, 2) immune activation with up-regulated expression of many cytokines, chemokines, and inflammatory molecules 3) marked epidermal hyperplasia in chronic diseased skin and 4) defective barrier function with increased transepidermal water loss (TEWL), which reflects underlying alterations in keratinocyte differentiation. Using genomic profiling we provide a comprehensive comparison of chronic psoriasis and AD skin lesions as compared with normal skin.

Role of Znf750 in skin development

Project description:The skin epidermis is a constantly renewing stratified epithelial tissue that provides essential protective barrier functions. The major barrier is at the outermost layers of the epidermis, formed by terminally differentiated keratinocytes reinforced by proteins and lipids of their cornified envelope (CE), and disruptions to this process characterizes common skin disorders. ZNF750 is an epithelial transcription factor essential for in vitro keratinocyte differentiation, whose autosomal dominant mutation in humans causes psoriasis-like skin disease. Here, we report epidermal-specific Znf750 conditional knockout mouse model utilized to uncover the role of Znf750 in epidermal development. We show that deletion of Znf750 in the developing skin does not block epidermal differentiation, suggesting in vivo compensatory feedback mechanisms, yet results in impaired barrier function and perinatal lethality. Molecular dissection uncovered ultrastructural defects in the differentiated layers of the epidermis, accompanied by alterations in the expression of ZNF750-dependent genes encoding for key proteins and lipids involved in CE formation, including gene subsets known to be mutated in skin disease with impaired barrier function.

Loss of MPZL3 Function Causes Seborrheic Dermatitis-like Phenotype in Mice

Project description:Seborrheic Dermatitis (SD) is a common inflammatory skin disorder. In this study, we demonstrated SD-like clinical features with associated histology in the Mpzl3 knockout(-/-) mice. Mpzl3-/- skin showed increased macrophage and CD4+ lymphocyte infiltration, however adaptive immunity was not required for the onset of skin inflammation. Furthermore, we detected epidermal barrier defects as suggested by increased dye permeability in Mpzl3-/- embryos and altered gene expression by microarray analysis in pup skin. Taken together, these findings suggest MPZL3 plays an essential role in epidermal differentiation and barrier function, and underscore the interplay between epidermal barrier and immunity in SD. The SD-like clinical and histologic features in the Mpzl3-/- mice also resemble those in patients carrying a frame-shift mutation in ZNF750, a key regulator of epidermal differentiation and a transcriptional activator of the MPZL3 gene. Therefore, we conclude that the ZNF750/MPZL3 pathway plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of SD, and a better understanding of skin inflammation and barrier restoration in the Mpzl3-/- mice will provide insight into the pathogenesis and treatment/prevention of recurrent SD.

Commensal Microbiota Regulates Skin Barrier Function And Repair Via Signaling Through The Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor

Project description:Essential to terrestrial life is the formation of a competent skin barrier that prevents desiccation and entry by harmful substances. A tightly orchestrated series of cellular changes is required for the proper formation of the epidermal permeability barrier. These changes occur in the context of the commensal skin microbiota. Using germ free mice and antibiotic depletion models, we demonstrate the microbiota is necessary for proper differentiation and repair of the barrier. These effects were mediated by keratinocyte signaling through the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR), a xenobiotic receptor that also regulates epidermal differentiation. Murine skin lacking keratinocyte AHR was more susceptible to infection by S. aureus and increased pathology in a model of atopic dermatitis. Topical colonization with a defined consortium of human skin commensals restored barrier competence in germ free skin and during epicutaneous sensitization; these effects were dependent on keratinocyte AHR. We reveal a fundamental role for the commensal skin microbiota in directing skin barrier formation and repair through the AHR, with far-reaching implications for the numerous skin disorders characterized by disrupted epidermal differentiation and/or barrier competence.

NLRP10 Maintains Epidermal Homeostasis by Promoting Keratinocyte Survival and P63-Dependent Differentiation and Barrier Function

Project description:Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common chronic inflammatory skin disorder characterized by disrupted epidermal barrier function and aberrant immune responses. Despite recent developments in new treatments for AD, there are still unmet needs for the disease management due to its complex and multifactorial nature. Recent genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified NLRP10 as an AD susceptible gene. However, the physiological role of NLRP10 in skin homeostasis and its relevance to AD are unknown. Here we show that NLRP10 promotes keratinocyte survival and facilitates epidermal differentiation and barrier function. Mechanistically, NLRP10 limits cell death by preventing the recruitment of caspase-8 onto the death inducing signaling complex and inhibiting its subsequent activation. NLRP10 also stabilizes p63, the master regulator of keratinocyte differentiation, to drive proper keratinocyte differentiation and to reinforce the barrier function. Importantly, NLRP10 is downregulated in AD skin samples. Our findings underscore NLRP10 as a key player in atopic dermatitis pathogenesis, highlighting NLRP10 as a potential target for therapeutic intervention to restore skin barrier function and homeostasis in AD.

ZFP750 regulates skin lipid metabolism and cutaneous barrier

Project description:A life-essential function of the epidermis is to provide a physical barrier that prevents the loss of water and electrolytes. Essential mediators of this permeability barrier function include ceramides, cholesterol and very long chain fatty acids. Accordingly, their alteration may lead to distinct human conditions, including psoriasis or atopic dermatitis. Recently, a frameshift mutation in the human ZNF750 gene, that encodes for a zinc finger transcription factor, causing a seborrhea-like dermatitis with psoriasiform element, has brought ZNF750 as a key element for the maintenance of the epidermal tissue homeostasis. To clarify this hypothesis, with its underlying molecular mechanism, we generated a novel mouse knockout by deleting exon 2. Here, we show that genetic deletion of the mouse homolog ZFP750 results in loss of epidermal permeability barrier function. ZFP750-/- mice die shortly after birth, within 12 hours. In the stratum corneum of ZFP750-/- mice levels of ceramides, nonpolar lipids and intercellular lipid lamellae are significantly reduced. The alteration of the epidermal lipid homeostasis is directly linked to the transcriptional activity of ZFP750. Indeed, in addition to epidermal differentiation genes, ZFP750 directly and/or indirectly regulates the expression of nearly 50 crucial enzymes in the biosynthesis of ceramides, such as SPTLC1, DGAT2, SMPD3, ELOVL7 and DEGS2. Overall, our study identifies the transcription factor ZFP750 as a master regulator of lipid biosynthesis and epidermal homeostasis and may contribute to our understanding of the pathogenesis of several human skin diseases.

Transcription profiling of human keratinocytes used in a small molecule screen to identify inducers of epidermal keratinocyte differentiation

Project description:An essential function of the human epidermis is the maintenance of a protective barrier against the environment. As a consequence, keratinocytes, which make up this layer of the skin, undergo an elaborate process of self-renewal, terminal differentiation and cell death. Misregulation of these processes can lead to several human diseases including psoriasis and basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas. To identify novel regulators of keratinocyte differentiation, a cell-based screen of small molecule libraries was carried out for molecules that induce terminal differentiation of normal human epidermal keratinocytes (NHEKs). One class of molecules was identified, the 2-(3,4,5-trimethoxy-phenylamino)-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidines, which were shown to induce differentiation of epidermal progenitor cells to terminally differentiated keratinocytes. These molecules serve as useful mechanistic probes of the cellular differentiation programs that regulate the formation and homeostasis of the epidermis, and may lead to novel therapeutic approaches for the treatment of skin hyperproliferative disorders. Experiment Overall Design: samples were taken from duplicate treatments of cells with DMSO or PP-2 (compound 9) at various time points

ZNF750 Drives Terminal Epidermal Differentiation via Induction of Klf4

Project description:Disrupted differentiation is a hallmark of numerous diseases, which in epidermis alone impact >25% of the population. In a search for dominant mediators of differentiation, we defined a requirement for the ZNF750 nuclear protein in terminal epidermal differentiation. ZNF750 controlled genes mutated in numerous human skin diseases, including FLG, LOR, LCE3B, ALOXE3, and SPINK5. ZNF750 potently induced progenitor differentiation via an evolutionarily conserved C2H2 zinc finger motif. The epidermal master regulator, p63, bound the ZNF750 promoter and was necessary for its induction. ZNF750 restored differentiation to p63-deficient tissue, suggesting it acts downstream of p63. A search for functionally important ZNF750 targets via analysis of ZNF750-regulated genes identified KLF4, a transcription factor that activates late epidermal differentiation genes. ZNF750 binds the Klf4 promoter and controls its expression. ZNF750 thus provides a direct link between a tissue-specifying factor, p63, and an effector of terminal differentiation, Klf4, and represents a potential future target for disorders of this process. Gene expression analysis: To establish a differentiation signature for primary human keratinocytes, with ZNF750-depleted, and Klf4-depleted, total RNA was isolated in biologic duplicate from cells in different conditions and hybridized to Affymetrix HG-U133 2.0 Plus arrays.
