Project description:Analysis of differential gene expression in Psen-null and RBPjk-null epidermal keratinocytes. The hypothesis tested in the present study was that canonical Notch signals could be present at the beginning of epidermal stratification (E13.5) in the RBPj-null epidermis. If an early signal was preserved by epigenetic memory, E18.5 RBPj-null epidermis would resemble the wild-type at the transcriptional level. Total RNA obtained from 3xRBPj-null and 3xPsen-null epidermis at E18.5 and compared to wild-type (3xRBPjwt & 3xPsenwt) epidermis from littermates.

Project description:Sorting transmembrane cargo is essential for tissue development and homeostasis. However, mechanisms of intracellular trafficking in stratified epidermis are poorly understood. Here we identify an interaction between the retromer endosomal trafficking component, VPS35, and the desmosomal cadherin, Desmoglein-1 (Dsg1). Dsg1 is specifically expressed in stratified epidermis and when properly localized on the plasma membrane of basal keratinocytes, promotes stratification. We show that the retromer drives Dsg1 recycling from the endo-lysosomal system to the plasma membrane to support stratification. The retromer-enhancing chaperone, R55, promotes the membrane localization of Dsg1 and a trafficking-deficient mutant associated with a severe inflammatory skin disorder, enhancing its ability to promote stratification. In the absence of Dsg1, retromer association with and expression of the glucose transporter GLUT1 increases, exposing a potential link between Dsg1 deficiency and epidermal metabolism. Our work provides the first evidence for retromer function in epidermal regeneration, identifying it as a potential therapeutic target.

Project description:Chromatin modifiers play critical roles in epidermal development, but the functions of histone deacetylases in this context are poorly understood. We find that the Class I HDAC, HDAC3, is expressed broadly in embryonic epidermis, and is required for its orderly stepwise stratification. Stability of HDAC3 protein in vivo is reliant on NCoR and SMRT, which function redundantly in epidermal development. However, point mutations in the NCoR and SMRT Deacetylase Activating Domains, which are required for HDAC3’s enzymatic function, permit normal stratification, indicating that HDAC3’s roles in this context are independent of its histone deacetylase activity. HDAC3 functions both in conjunction with, and independent of, KLF4 to repress premature expression of different sets of terminal differentiation genes and suppresses expression of inflammatory cytokines through a RelA-dependent mechanism. These data identify HDAC3 as a hub coordinating multiple aspects of epidermal barrier acquisition. We used microarrays to determine transcriptional changes in Hdac3 deleted epidermis compared to control and Ncor1/Ncor2 deleted epidermis compared to control.

Project description:Atopic Dermatitis (AD) is the most common inflammatory skin disease and characterized by a deficient epidermal barrier and cutaneous inflammation. Genetic studies suggest a key role of keratinocytes in AD pathogenesis, but the alterations in the proteome that occur in the entire epidermis have not been defined. Employing a pressure-cycling technology-data-independent acquisition (PCT-DIA) approach, we performed quantitative proteomics of epidermis from healthy volunteers and lesional and non-lesional skin of AD patients. Results were validated by targeted proteomics using parallel reaction monitoring mass spectrometry or by immunofluorescence staining. The identified proteins reflect the strong inflammation in lesional skin and the defect in keratinocyte differentiation and epidermal stratification. Most importantly, they reveal impaired activation of the NRF2-antioxidant pathway and reduced abundance of mitochondrial proteins involved in key metabolic pathways in the epidermis. These results provide insight into the molecular alterations in the epidermis of AD patients and identify novel targets for pharmaceutical intervention.

Project description:Epithelial tissues possess a barrier function that must be restored following injury. Repair often involves changes in cell fate, but it remains poorly understood how cell plasticity is induced and whether responses vary with distinct types of damage. Here, we reveal that genotoxic agents, but not mechanical damage, induce hyperplasia and lineage infidelity in the interfollicular epidermis, as well as in two epidermal subappendages: the mammary gland and hair follicle. DNA damage to the epidermis promotes stromal proliferation, and induces basal cell hyperplasia with formation of abnormal, multi-layered K14+/K10+ cells. Unexpectedly, this behavior is epithelial cell non-autonomous, but independent of immunity. Instead, dermal fibroblasts are both necessary and sufficient to induce the epithelial response. We identify a previously unrecognized fibroblast-specific NLRP3 inflammasome that drives this response via IL-1β. Thus, genotoxic agents, used chemotherapeutically to promote cancer cell death, can have the opposite effect on wild-type epithelia, paradoxically promoting hyperplasia and inducing both stemness and lineage infidelity via a non-autonomous, fibroblast-driven mechanism.

Project description:The development of complex stratified epithelial barriers in mammals is initiated from single-layered epithelia. How stratification is initiated and fueled are still open questions. Previous studies on skin epidermal stratification suggested a central role for perpendicular/asymmetric cell division orientation of the basal keratinocyte progenitors. Here, we use centrosomes, that organize the mitotic spindle, to test whether cell division orientation and stratification are linked. Genetically ablating centrosomes from the developing epidermis leads to the activation of the p53-, 53BP1- and USP28-dependent mitotic surveillance pathway causing a thinner epidermis and hair follicle arrest. The centrosome/p53-double mutant keratinocyte progenitors significantly alter their division orientation in the later stages without majorly affecting epidermal differentiation. Together with time-lapse imaging and tissue growth dynamics measurements, the data suggest that the first and major phase of epidermal development is boosted by high proliferation rates in both basal and suprabasally-committed keratinocytes as well as cell delamination, whereas the second phase maybe uncoupled from the division orientation of the basal progenitors. The data provide insights for tissue homeostasis and hyperproliferative diseases that may recapitulate developmental programs.

Project description:We here present a novel subtype of fibroblasts isolated from sun-exposed skin of elderly donors and characterized by its prominent and stable myo-chondrocyte-type differentiation. As we depict a similar chondrocyte-type expression pattern at sites of solar elastosis in human skin, we propose that this fibroblasts phenotype develops in the course of massive and perseverative UV-dependent damage as part of the process terminating in the most severe appearance of photoaging - solar elastosis. Along with the abnormal expression profile, these “old” fibroblasts generate a chondrocyte-type matrix with a layer of myofibroblast-differentiation in close vicinity to the epidermis, when propagated as skin equivalents (SEs) in 3D organotypic cultures. Importantly, these fibroblasts are strongly reduced in their ability to support epidermal growth and differentiation, allowing for rapid/premature epidermal atrophy. Having identified TGFß as an important player in this scenario, we show that the addition of TGFß to normal young fibroblast induces while inhibition of TGFß to the old fibroblast abolishes the myo-chondrogenic expression profile. Accordingly, inhibiting TGFß in the in vivo-like SEs, not only abrogates the aberrant phenotype but allows these fibroblasts to regain their normal mutual interaction with the epidermal keratinocytes and to support epidermal regeneration and longevity. Further, we provide evidence for a role of chronic solar UV radiation in initiating chondrogenic gene expression in young fibroblasts. Concomitantly, we show however, that the same UV treatment abolishes myofibroblast differentiation in the SEs with the “old” chondrogenic fibroblasts, and that this selective inhibition is already sufficient to restore the fibroblasts’ ability for successfully supporting epidermal growth and differentiation. From this it is tempting to suggest, that besides all damaging potential, “mild” solar UV radiation may exert also beneficial effects, e.g. in promoting activation of photoaged skin.

Project description:Background: The terminal duct lobular unit (TDLU) is the most dynamic structure in the human breast and the putative site of origin of human breast cancer. Although stromal cells contribute to a specialized microenvironment in many organs, this component remains largely understudied in the human breast. We here demonstrate the impact on epithelium of two lineages of breast stromal fibroblasts, one of which accumulates in the TDLU while the other resides outside the TDLU in the interlobular stroma. Methods: The two lineages are prospectively isolated by FACS based on different expression levels of CD105 and CD26. The characteristics of the two fibroblast lineages are assessed by immunocytochemical staining and gene expression analysis. The differentiation capacity of the two fibroblast populations is determined by exposure to specific differentiating conditions followed by analysis of adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation. To test whether the two fibroblast lineages are functionally imprinted by their site of origin, single cell sorted CD271low/MUC1high normal breast luminal epithelial cells are plated on fibroblast feeders for the observation of morphological development. Epithelial structure formation and polarization is shown by immunofluorescence and digitalized quantification of immunoperoxidase stained cultures. Results: Lobular fibroblasts are CD105high/CD26low while interlobular fibroblasts are CD105low/CD26high. Once isolated the two lineages remain phenotypically stable and functionally distinct in culture. Lobular fibroblasts have properties in common with bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells and they specifically convey growth and branching morphogenesis of epithelial progenitors. Conclusions: Two distinct functionally specialized fibroblast lineages exist in the normal human breast, of which the lobular fibroblasts have properties in common with mesenchymal stem cells and support epithelial growth and morphogenesis. We propose that lobular fibroblasts constitute a specialized microenvironment for human breast luminal epithelial progenitors, i.e. the putative precursors of breast cancer.
