Targeting the WNT pathway for repigmenting vitiligo

ABSTRACT: Vitiligo is an acquired depigmentation of the skin inducing a marked alteration of the quality of life of affected individuals. Halting the disease progression and repigmenting the lesional skin represent the two faces of the therapeutic challenge in vitiligo. So far, none of them has been successfully addressed. Oxidative stress and immune system in genetically predisposed individuaLesionalparticipate to the complex pathophysiology of vitiligo. We performed a transcriptome and proteomic analysis on lesional, perilesional and non-depigmented skin of vitiligo patients compared to matched skin controLesionalof healthy subjects. Our results show that the WNT pathway, implicated in melanocytes differentiation, was found to be altered in vitiligo skin. We demonstrated that the oxidative stress decreases WNT expression/activation in keratinocytes and in melanocytes. We developed an ex vivo skin model that remains functional up to 15 days. We then confirmed the decreased activation of the WNT pathway in human skin subjected to oxidative stress. Finally, using pharmacological agents that activate the WNT pathway, we treated the ex vivo depigmented skins from vitiligo patients and successfully induced the differentiation of resident stem celLesionalinto pre-melanocytes supporting further exploration of WNT activators to repigment vitiligo lesions.

Transcription profiling of skin from vitiligo patients and healthy volunteers reveals the WNT pathway as a target for re-pigmenting vitiligo lesions

Project description:Vitiligo is an acquired depigmentation of the skin inducing a marked alteration of the quality of life of affected individuals. Halting the disease progression and repigmenting the lesional skin represent the two faces of the therapeutic challenge in vitiligo. So far, none of them has been successfully addressed. Oxidative stress and immune system in genetically predisposed individuals participate to the complex pathophysiology of vitiligo.

Expression data from vtiligo skin

Project description:Vitiligo is a skin disorder due to loss of melanocytes. There are depigmented lesions mixed with normally-pigmented non-lesions. Gene expression profiles have been different between lesional skin and non-lesional skin. Primary cilia have been involved in various cellular functions including cell survival. We used microarrays to detail the programme of gene expression underlying melanocyte survival in vitiligo and identified distinct cilia-related genes involved in melanocyte apoptosis.

Expression data from treatment of human melanocytes with phenolic compounds

Project description:Vitiligo, an acquired disorder characterized by depigmented skin patches, results from loss of epidermal melanocytes. Etiology of vitiligo is not clearly understood but environmental, biochemical, genetic, and immune factors play a role in its pathogenesis. There is evidence that melanocyte death is perpetuated by an autoimmune response that causes lesions to spread. 4-tertiary butyl phenol (4TBP) and monobenzyl ether of hydroquinone (MBEH) are phenolic compounds that are known as environmental causes of vitiligo. We used microarray to detail the global gene expression that occurs following exposure of melanocytes to 4-TBP or MBEH to identified distinct classes of up-regulated genes that may contribute to melanocyte loss in vitiligo. We show that human melanocytes exposed to 4-TBP and MBEH show increased production of some inflammatory cytokines. Interleukin-6 (IL6) and IL8, in particular, are expressed at the periphery of vitiligo lesions and may contribute to recruitment of immune components to the areas, perpetuating melanocyte loss. Cultured human epidermal melanocytes were treated with 4TBP or MBEH for 3, 6, or 24 hours and gene expression were compared with untreated cells.

The expression profiles of miRNAs in exosomes derived from H2O2-treated and untreated HaCaT cells

Project description:Vitiligo is a skin disease characterized by the destruction of epidermal melanocytes due to oxidative stress and autoimmune response. As the main responder to oxidative stress, keratinocytes facilitate melanocyte loss under oxidative stress by inducing melanocyte death and recruiting antigen-specific CD8+ T cell to skin to destroy melanocytes. It has been proved that keratinocytes secrete abundant functional exosomes, but the role of exosomes secreted from keratinocytes under oxidative stress in vitiligo pathogenesis is unknown. We found that oxidative stress enhanced the secretion of exosomes from keratinocytes. These exosomes (OS-Exos) administration aggravated melanocyte loss and CD8+ T cell infiltration in the epidermis of tail in the vitiligo mouse model, thereby driving vitiligo progression. OS-Exos suppressed the survival of melanocytes while promoting the proliferation and activation of CD8+ T cells in vitro. As miRNAs contained in OS-Exos might be responsible for the functions of OS-Exos on melanocytes and CD8+ T cells, we employed small RNAs-seq analysis to screen miRNAs enriched in OS-Exos as compared to those in Exos (from untreated HaCaT cells). The hierarchical clustering analysis and the volcano plot showed the distinct signatures of known miRNAs as well as novel miRNAs between OS-Exos and Exos. In total, 276 differentially expressed miRNAs were discovered, with 134 and 142 miRNAs displaying significant up- or down-regulation, respectively, in OS-Exos compared with Exos (P<0.05; fold change≥2. The above data suggest that miRNAs enriched in OS-Exos might contribute to the facilitatory role of OS-Exos in vitiligo progression.

Transcriptome analysis of potential candidate genes and molecular pathways in Et-1-deficient mice with depigmentation

Project description:To shed lights on the potential candidate genes and molecular pathways in vitiligo pathomechanism and therapeutics, we compared the transcriptomes between depigmented and normal skin in Ets-1 knockout mice that spontaneously exhibit human vitiligo-like depigmentation. We performed gene expression profiling analysis using data obtained from RNA-seq of 1 depigmented and 1 pigmented skins of Ets-1 KO mice, and 1 normal skins of wild-type mice.

Single-Cell Transcriptomics Reveals Peripheral Immune Responses in Non-Segmental Vitiligo

Project description:Vitiligo is a common autoimmune depigmented dermatology due to the destruction of melanocytes. Much evidence suggests that vitiligo is associated with systemic immune activation. Previous studies have focused on immune cell infiltration in and around lesion areas, while few studies have investigated the cell types and function of circulating immune cells in peripheral blood. We collected peripheral blood from five patients with progressive non-segmental vitiligo (PV) and three healthy controls (HC).Single-cell RNA sequencing(scRNA-seq) is used to investigate the mechanisms of peripheral immune responses in vitiligo patients.

Gut microbiota drives vitiligo-related oxidative stress in skin via the metabolite Hippuric Acid

Project description:Vitiligo is a common autoimmune skin disorder. We constructed an induced vitiligo mouse model and performed bulk-RNA sequencing on the skin and 16S rRNA sequencing of feces from vitiligo mice and uninduced mice. Next, we performed skin bulk-RNA sequencing after treatment using ABX. Lastly, we subjected gut microbe-related metabolite hippuric acid to control mice and performed bulk-RNA sequencing on the skin to observe oxidative stress-related gene expression changes.

Melanocyte precursors in the hair follicle bulge of repigmented vitiligo skin are controlled by RHO-GTPase, KCTD10 and CTNNB1 signaling

Project description:In repigmentation of human vitiligo, the melanocyte (MC) precursors in the hair follicle (HF) bulge proliferate, migrate and differentiate to repopulate the depigmented epidermis. Here we present a comprehensive characterization of pathways and signals in the bulge that control the repigmentation process. Using biopsies from vitiligo patients we have selectively harvested, by laser capture microdissection, MC and keratinocyte precursors from the HF bulge of untreated vitiligo skin and vitiligo skin treated with Narrow Band UVB (NBUVB). The captured material was subjected to whole transcriptome RNA sequencing. With this strategy, we found that repigmentation in the bulge MCs precursors is driven by KCTD10, a signal with unknown roles in the skin, and by CTNNB1 (encoding β-catenin) and RHO-GTPase (RHO), two signaling pathways previously shown to be involved in pigmentation biology.
