Project description:Human skin-derived precursor cells (hSKP) are a post natal stem cell population isolated from the dermis. These cells acquire hepatic characteristics upon differentiation with hepatogenic factors. Differentiated hSKP show characteristics of hepatocyte precursor cells and respond to hepatotoxic compounds in a comparable way as human hepatocyte cultures. We used microarray analyses to evaluate the modulation of gene expression due to exposure to a steatosis-inducing compound. hSKP obtained from 3 different donors were firstly differentiated and cultivated in the presence or absence of sodium valproate (Na-VPA). Control and Na-VPA samples were collected after 24h exposure.

Project description:The contribution of non-resident, non-satellite myogenic progenitors to postnatal muscle homeostasis and repair is controversial. Precursor cells with the capacity to generate striated muscle fibers in vitro have been isolated from diverse adult tissues, although their physiological role being currently unclear. Since murine dermis-derived precursor cell cultures generate striated muscle when transplanted in vivo, we pursued to identify and characterize the myogenic cell population present in dermis-derived sphere cultures. Lineage tracing experiments for myogenic, perivascular and dermal precursor cell lineages showed a major contribution of Myf5 and Pax7-positive cell progeny to the dermal myogenic precursor cell subset. Tracing, in situ localization and ultrastructural analyses unequivocally demonstrated that Panniculus carnosus muscle-derived satellite stem cells expand in the dermal sphere culture conditions and originate dermis-derived myofibers in vitro. These results highlight the importance of unraveling distinct lineages in sphere cultures to avoid wrong assumptions when determining the developmental potential of adult stem cells. strain: Crl:CD1(ICR), B6.129S4-Myf5tm3(cre)Sor /J, B6,FVB-Tg(Cspg4-cre)1Akik/J, B195AP-Cre

Project description:Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) hold great promise in the field of liver regenerative medicine. However, the mechanisms and reversibility of hepatogenic differentiation in MSCs are poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that hepatogenic differentiation of MSCs is a reversible process and is modulated by the transforming growth factor beta 1- DNA methyltransferases (TGF-β1-Dnmts) axis. Dnmt1 and Dnmt3a differentially regulate hepatogenic differentiation and de-differentiation in response to the alternation of TGF-β1 concentration. Knockdown of Dnmt1 accelerates the hepatogenic differentiation in MSCs-derived hepatocyte-like cells (dHeps) whereas Knockdown of Dnmt3a represses hepatogenic differentiation. Conclusions: Our finding first demonstrates that epigenetic regulation by Dnmts in response to stimulation from the surrounding microenvironment controls the reversibility of hepatogenic differentiation in MSCs. Manipulation of Dnmts provides a rapid and efficient differentiation protocol to generate functional dHeps from MSCs that may provide clinical potential for regenerative medicine.

Project description:Human skin-derived precursor cells (hSKP) are a stem cell population that represents key candidates for cell based-therapy. Inflammation, however, is often present in situations where cellular replacement therapy is required. These inflammatory conditions, and more specifically the presence of the cytokine interferon (IFN)-γ, might result in an increase of MHC class II antigens in hSKP-derived grafts and facilitate their rejection. We used microarray analyses to confirm the activated status of the pro-inflammatory condition, induced by exposure to a cocktail of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IFN-γ, TNFα and IFN-α). Consequently, we investigated the modulation by inflammation of canonical pathways related to immunology in hSKP.

Project description:Hair follicle formation depends on reciprocal epidermal-dermal interactions and occurs during skin development, but not in adult life. This suggests that the properties of dermal fibroblasts change during postnatal development. To examine this, we used a PdgfraEGFP mouse line to isolate GFP-positive fibroblasts from neonatal skin, adult telogen and anagen skin and adult skin in which ectopic hair follicles had been induced (EF skin) by transgenic epidermal activation of beta-catenin. We also isolated epidermal cells from each mouse. The gene expression profile of EF epidermis was most similar to that of anagen epidermis, consistent with activation of beta-catenin signalling. In contrast, adult dermis with ectopic hair follicles more closely resembled neonatal dermis than adult telogen or anagen dermis. In particular, genes associated with mitosis were upregulated and extracellular matrix-associated genes were downregulated in neonatal and EF fibroblasts. We confirmed that sustained epidermal beta-catenin activation stimulated fibroblasts to proliferate to reach the high cell density of neonatal skin. In addition, the extracellular matrix was comprehensively remodelled, with mature collagen being replaced by collagen subtypes normally present only in developing skin. The changes in proliferation and extracellular matrix composition originated from a specific subpopulation of fibroblasts located beneath the sebaceous gland. Our results show that adult dermis is an unexpectedly plastic tissue that can be reprogrammed to acquire the molecular, cellular and structural characteristics of neonatal dermis in response to cues from the overlying epidermis.

Inflammation, however, is often present in situations where cellular replacement therapy is required. These inflammatory conditions, and more specifically the presence of the cytokine interferon (IFN)-M-NM-3, might result in an increase of MHC class II antigens in hSKP-derived grafts and facilitate their rejection. We used microarray analyses to confirm the activated status of the pro-inflammatory condition, induced by exposure to a cocktail of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1M-NM-2, IFN-M-NM-3, TNFM-NM-1 and IFN-M-NM-1). Consequently, we investigated the modulation by inflammation of canonical pathways related to immunology in hSKP. hSKP obtained from 3 different donors (passage 4) were cultivated in the presence or absence of the pro-inflammatory cocktail. Control and pro-inflammatory stimulated samples were collected 18h after treatment.

Project description:In this study we conducted transcriptomics analyses of: (i) liver samples from patients suffering from acetaminophen-induced acute liver failure (n=3) and from healthy livers (n=2) and (ii) hepatic cell systems exposed to acetaminophen, including their respective vehicle controls. The investigated in vitro systems are: HepaRG cells, HepG2 cells and a novel human skinpostnatal stem cell-derived model i.e. human skin-precursors-derived hepatocyte-like cells (hSKP-HPC). Clinical samples were obtained after surgical removal of the explant liver of patients diagnosed with ALF due to acetaminophen intoxication and treated by orthotopic liver transplantation (n=3). Samples from healthy livers were obtained from individuals deceased from brain damage (n=2). Different samples of hSKP, HepG2 and HepaRG were obtained from the same cell batch of each cell system. All cells were exposed for 24 hours to their corresponding sub cytotoxic concentrations (IC10): IC10(hSKP-HPC)=18mM; IC10(HepaRG)=13mM; IC10(HepG2)=2mM. Experiments were conducted in triplicate. This dataset is part of the TransQST collection.

We have isolated the following populations of cells from mouse back skin by flow cytometry: 1A) GFP+ WT neonatal dermal fibroblasts, 1B) ItgA6+ WT neonatal epidermal keratinocytes, 2A) GFP+ WT telogen dermal fibroblasts, 2B) ItgA6+ WT telogen epidermal keratinocytes, 3A) GFP+ D2 transient activation (anagen) dermal fibroblasts, 3B) ItgA6+ D2 transient activation (anagen) epidermal keratinocytes, 4A) GFP+ D2 sustained activation (ectopic follicles) dermal fibroblasts, 4B) ItgA6+ D2 sustained activation (ectopic follicles) epidermal keratinocytes

Project description:Fibroblasts are the main dermis-resident cells, yet they remain poorly characterized. Fundamentally, fibroblasts originate from the same population of mesenchymal cells but fibroblast subpopulations have been identified. Papillary and reticular fibroblasts were characterized based on their respective location in the papillary and reticular dermis. Here, we identified a new subset of fibroblasts, located in human papillary dermis and displaying specific features such as their organization into cell clusters. We used microarrays to detail the gene expression profiles of the novel fibroblast subpopulation we have identified compared to papillary and reticualr fibroblasts and notably the relative contribution of the different fibroblast subpopulations to the extracellular matrix of the dermis.
