Grhl3 is essential for epidermal barrier repair from both physical and immune injury, relevance to lesional skin disease

ABSTRACT: Epidermal barrier repair mechanisms activated in psoriasis lesions are likely involved in limiting the severity of this disease. We show that loss of grainyhead-like 3 (Grhl3), a pro-terminal differentiation factor in the epidermis, is sufficient to trigger greater sensitivity to and delayed resolution of epidermal lesions resulting from either physical or immune mediated barrier injury. After stimulation of Toll like receptors, the loss of Grhl3 resulted in increased epidermal damage with a striking increase in basal cell proliferation, hyperplasia of partially differentiated suprabasal layers, and a transcriptional profile highlighted by the overexpression of epidermal wound response and alarmin genes. This study reveals an important role for the epidermis in the initiation and recovery from immune-mediated lesions, and indicated that the epidermal regulator Grhl3 acts to both suppress disease initiation and resolve existing lesions. This work suggests that treatments focused on improving barrier function could be used preventatively and therapeutically in psoriasis.

This work suggests that treatments focused on improving barrier function could be used preventatively and therapeutically in psoriasis. Whole skin was collected from E16.5 mouse backskins for Grhl3 ChIP. Adult epidermis for depilation and imiquimod experiments was seperated from dermis using dispase prior to Grhl3 ChIP.

Expression data from mouse adult epidermis in response to physical or immune mediated damage

Project description:Whether epidermal factors play a primary role in immune-mediated skin diseases such as psoriasis is unknown. We now show that the pro-differentiation transcription factor Grainyhead-like 3 (GRHL3), essential during epidermal development but dispensable in adult skin homeostasis, is required for barrier repair after adult epidermal injury. Consistent with activation of a GRHL3-regulated repair pathway in psoriasis, we find GRHL3 up-regulation in lesional skin where GRHL3 binds known epidermal differentiation gene targets. Furthermore, we show the functionality of this pathway in the Imiquimod mouse model of immune-mediated epidermal hyperplasia where loss of Grhl3 exacerbates the epidermal damage response, conferring greater sensitivity to disease induction, delayed resolution of epidermal lesions, and resistance to anti-IL-22 therapy. ChIP-seq and gene expression profiling studies show that while GRHL3 regulates differentiation genes both in development and during repair from immune-mediated damage, it targets distinct sets of genes in the two processes. In particular, GRHL3 suppresses a number of alarmin and other pro-inflammatory genes after immune injury. This study identifies a GRHL3-regulated epidermal barrier repair pathway that suppresses disease initiation and helps resolve existing lesions in immune-mediated epidermal hyperplasia. A single timepoint was assessed after physical injury of the epidermal barrier and two timepoints were assessed after immune mediated injury of the epidermis following Imiquimod treatment (psoriasis mouse model)

Transcription profiling of mouse skins of embryos lacking Grainyhead-like epithelial transactivator (Get-1)

Project description:Defective permeability barrier is an important feature of many skin diseases and causes mortality in premature infants. To investigate the control of barrier formation, we characterized the epidermally expressed Grainyhead-like epithelial transactivator (Get-1)/Grhl3, a conserved mammalian homologue of Grainyhead, which plays important roles in cuticle development in Drosophila. Get-1 interacts with the LIM-only protein LMO4, which is co-expressed in the developing mammalian epidermis. The epidermis of Get-1(-/-) mice showed a severe barrier function defect associated with impaired differentiation of the epidermis, including defects of the stratum corneum, extracellular lipid composition and cell adhesion in the granular layer. The Get-1 mutation affects multiple genes linked to terminal differentiation and barrier function, including most genes of the epidermal differentiation complex. Get-1 therefore directly or indirectly regulates a broad array of epidermal differentiation genes encoding structural proteins, lipid metabolizing enzymes and cell adhesion molecules. Although deletion of the LMO4 gene had no overt consequences for epidermal development, the epidermal terminal differentiation defect in mice deleted for both Get-1 and LMO4 is much more severe than in Get-1(-/-) mice with striking impairment of stratum corneum formation. These findings indicate that the Get-1 and LMO4 genes interact functionally to regulate epidermal terminal differentiation. Experiment Overall Design: The same region of the mouse back skin was excised from three Get1 +/+ and three Get1 â/â mice at e18.5.

Genome-wide binding of WDR5 and GRHL3

Project description:The antagonistic actions of Polycomb and Trithorax are responsible for proper cell fate determination in mammalian tissues. In the epidermis, a self-renewing epithelium, previous work has shown that release from Polycomb repression only partially explains differentiation gene activation. We now show that Trithorax is also a key regulator of epidermal differentiation, not only through activation of genes repressed by Polycomb in progenitor cells, but also through activation of genes independent of regulation by Polycomb. The differentiation associated transcription factor GRHL3/GET1 recruits the ubiquitously expressed Trithorax complex to a subset of differentiation genes. Examination of WDR5 and GRHL3 binding in human differentited primary keratinocytes (NHEK). High calcium medium was added to NHEK cells at 50% confluency to induce differentiation. Cells were collected for ChIP 24 hours after addition of high calcium medium. ChIP with Wdr5 and Grhl3 antibodies, and an input control were sequenced.

Cis-regulatory chromatin loops analysis identifies GRHL3 as a master regulator of surface epithelium commitment

Project description:Understanding the regulatory network of cell fate acquisition remains a major challenge. Using the induction of surface epithelium (SE) from human embryonic stem cells as a paradigm, we show that the dynamic changes in morphology-related genes (MRGs) closely correspond to SE fate transitions. The marked remodeling of cytoskeleton indicates the initiation of SE differentiation. By integrating promoter interactions, epigenomic features, and transcriptome, we delineate an SE-specific cis-regulatory network and identify grainyhead-like 3 (GRHL3) as an initiation factor sufficient to drive SE commitment. Mechanically, GRHL3 primes the SE chromatin accessibility landscape and activates SE-initiating gene expression. In addition, the evaluation of GRHL3-mediated promoter interactions unveils a positive feedback loop of GRHL3 and bone morphogenetic protein 4 on SE fate decisions. Our work proposes a concept that MRGs could be used to identify cell fate transitions and provides insights into regulatory principles of SE lineage development and stem cell?based regenerative medicine.

Epidermal differentiation: basal vs. suprabasal keratinocytes

Project description:In epidermal differentiation basal keratinocytes detach from the basement membrane, stop proliferating, and express a new set of structural proteins and enzymes, which results in an impermeable protein/lipid barrier that protects us. To define the transcriptional changes essential for this process, we purified large quantities of basal and suprabasal cells from human epidermis, using the expression of b4 integrin as the discriminating factor. The expected expression differences in cytoskeletal, cell cycle and adhesion genes confirmed the effective separation of the cell populations. Using DNA microarray chips, we comprehensively identify the differences in genes expressed in basal and differentiating layers of the epidermis, including the ECM components produced by the basal cells, the proteases in both the basal and suprabasal cells, and the lipid and steroid metabolism enzymes in suprabasal cells responsible for the permeability barrier. We identified the signaling pathways specific for the two populations, and found two previously unknown paracrine and one juxtacrine signaling pathway operating between the basal and suprabasal cells. Furthermore, using specific expression signatures, we identified a new set of late differentiation markers and mapped their chromosomal loci, as well as a new set of melanocyte-specific markers. The data represent a quantum jump in understanding the mechanisms of epidermal differentiation. Basal keratinocytes are defined as integrin b4-positive. Suprabasal sample contains all melanocytes as well. Basal (integrin b4+), suprabasal (b4-) and total epidermal keratinocytes. In duplicate, from 2 independent donors, breast reduction surgery.

Mechanical Regulation of Stem Cell Proliferation and Fate Decisions by their Differentiated Daughters

Project description:RNAseq analysis of suprabasal cells in the epidermis of control and K10rtTA;TRESpastin (which depolymerize microtubules) at E16.5 were performed. We observed the premature differentiation of the barrier and increased actomyosin contractility in suprabasal differentiated cells upon microtubule disruption compared to control, and proved the increased actomyosin contractility caused by microtubule depolymerization leads to basal stem cell hyperproliferation during epidermal development.
