Project description:Obesity and associated metabolic outcomes define the metabolic syndrome. Interestingly, an under-appreciated fact is that body fat distribution, rather than total body fat amount, is a key determinant of metabolic disease. Indeed, in contrast to upper-body obesity, lower-body fat accumulation inversely correlates with metabolic risks. Understanding processes regulating upper- vs. lower-body fat expansion is paramount to predict (and prevent) these risks. We combine functional, proteomics, transcriptomics and epigenomics analyses to identify chromatin-associated mechanisms of adipose depot-specific fat expansion. Here, we analyze by RNA-seq the transcriptome of adipocytes differentiated in vitro from human gluteal (lower-body) and abdominal subcutaneous (upper-body) depots-derived adipose stem cells. We aim to identify adipose depot-specific and temporal differences in the up- or down-regulation of gene expression, and relate these differences to changes in chromatin states.

We aim to identify adipose depot-specific and temporal differences in the up- or down-regulation of gene expression, and a later stage relate these differences to changes in chromatin states.

Project description:Fgf18 gene is strongly expressed in hair follicles of mouse dorsal skin during regressing (catagen) and resting (telogen) phases of hair cycle, but not in growth (anagen) phase. This study aims at identifying the effects of FGF18 local delivery on the anagen phase of hair cycle. To define genes affected by local delivery of FGF18 during anagen phase of hair cycle, we injected FGF18 protein subcutaneously into back skin of C3H/HeN mice on day 4 of depilation-induced anagen. As control PBS was injected in place of FGF18. After 24 h (61-d-old), total RNA was isolated from the back skin and purified to poly A RNA. The RNA samples were pooled for each group. Gene expression was analyzed by one-color analysis using single array for each group.

Project description:Gene expression changes were assessed from the non sun-exposed skin of the lower back of 98 healthy males aged 19-86. We show that contrary to previous thought, genome wide transcriptional activity does not display an exclusively linear correlation with ageing, but rather, in human skin, undergoes a period of significant transient change between 30 and 45 years of age. The identified transient transcriptional changes suggest a period of heightened metabolic activity and cellular damage mediated primarily through the actions of TP53 (tumour protein 53) and TNF (tumour necrosis factor). We also identified a subgroup of the population characterised by increased expression of a large group of hair follicle genes that correlates strongly with a younger age of onset and increasing severity of androgenetic alopecia. Skin was collected from the lower back at the level of the belt, aproximately 5cm lateral to midline from healthy males, (defined as; non-smoking, no hospital admissions in the previous 5 years, no significant medical conditions or medications). Each sample was individually hybridised to an exon 1.0 ST array.

Project description:The Wnt/alpha-catenin pathway plays a central role in epidermal homeostasis and regeneration but how it affects fibroblast fate decisions is unknown. Here, we investigated the effect of targeted alpha-catenin stabilization in dermal fibroblasts. Comparative gene expression profiling of Sca1- and Sca1+ neonatal fibroblasts, from upper and lower dermis respectively, confirmed that Sca1+ cells had a pre-adipocyte signature and revealed differential expression of Wnt/alphaâ??catenin-associated genes. By targeting all fibroblasts or selectively targeting Dlk1+ lower dermal fibroblasts, we found that ï?¢-catenin stabilization between E16.5 and P2 resulted in a reduction in the dermal adipocyte layer with a corresponding increase in dermal fibrosis and an altered hair cycle. The fibrotic phenotype correlated with a reduction in the potential of Sca1+ fibroblasts to undergo adipogenic differentiation ex vivo. Our findings indicate that Wnt/alpha-catenin signaling controls adipogenic cell fate within the lower dermis, which potentially contributes to the pathogenesis of fibrotic skin diseases. The dermis was separated from back skin of PDGFRAeGFP postnatal pups (P2) by incubation with thermolysin (0.25 mg/ml) (Sigma T7902) overnight at 4° and further processed as previously described (Collins et al., 2011). Cells were labeled in PBS + 10% FBS TruStain fcX anti-mouse blocking buffer with the following antibodies: anti-mouse Ly-6A/E (Sca-1)-Alexa Fluor-700 17. Two populations of cells were collected in triplicate. The PDGFRaH2BeGFP/Sca1- and the PDGFRaH2BeGFP/Sca1+. RNA was isolated and prepared for microarray analysis and hybridized to Affymetrix MG430.2A arrays. C, digested in DMEM + 10% FBS containing 2.5 mg/mL collagenase I (Gibco 17100- 017), and further processed

Project description:Hypertrophic scars arise from dysregulated wound healing under prolonged mechanical tension, causing disfiguring fibrosis. However, limited preclinical models replicate key features of human tension-induced scarring. We developed an innovative murine model utilizing suture anchoring to impose persistent transverse-axial stretch across healing incisions, mimicking excessive wound tension that leads to hypertrophy clinically. Dorsal paired incisions were generated in mice, with wound edges on the upper back sutured to the rib cage while leaving wound edges on the lower back relaxed. This localized anchoring restrained wound contraction, maintaining high tension throughout remodeling analogous to scars widening under stress. Stretched upper wounds developed profound fibrotic changes compared to relaxed controls. Scars induced by suture-anchored tension displayed macroscopic hypertrophy, hardness, erythema, and pruritis up to 3 months. Histologically, scars induced by suture-anchored tension were hypercellular, hypervascular, hyperproliferative with disorganized extracellular matrix deposition, and displayed molecular hallmarks of hypertrophic fibrosis. MiRNA sequencing revealed the different signature in suture-anchored tension induced hypertrophic scars compared to control normal scars.

Project description:We performed gene expression profiling of P1 and P5 back and tail dermis to uncover potential explanations for the differences in HF formation at different ages and in different body sites. To generate back and tail dermis microarray from P1 mouse (C57Bl6/CBA F1), tail skin was incubated in 5mM EDTA/PBS solution at 37°C, 1h, whereas back skin was incubated in dispase-trypsin solution at 37°C, 1h. Tail and back skin dermis were separated from the epidermis with forceps, washed once in PBS and digested as described above. Single-cell suspensions were washed 3x in PBS, before cells were lysed in Trizol (Invitrogen) and RNA was purified using Qiagen RNeasy columns. RNA was extracted from triplicate mice. cDNA was amplified from purified RNA and hybridized to Affymetrix MG430.2A arrays by the Cancer Research UK Patterson Institute Affymetrix Genechip Microarray Service. Array images were produced by the Affymetrix PICR 3000 scanner and analysed as Cell files using Genespring-13X (Agilent Technologies). RMA normalization was used and the bottom twentieth-percentile of genes (i.e., the 20% of genes with the lowest expression levels) were excluded from subsequent analysis.

Project description:The risk of getting non-melanoma skin cancer varies over 40-fold across the body. Here we map mutations in normal skin in high and low risk sites in normal donors and those with an increased risk of skin cancer. The density of mutations varied widely, with evidence of positive and negative genetic selection. Regional differences in mutational signatures in high and low cancer risk sites and preferential selection of mutants of TP53 in high risk skin and FAT1 in lower risk skin were observed. 10% of clones had copy number changes in cancer associated genes and the largest had multiple driver mutations with loss of heterozygosity. In hair follicles, a proposed site of origin of skin cancers, mutations in the upper follicle resembled adjacent skin, but the lower follicle was sparsely mutated. We conclude cancer risk reflects the efficiency of transformation of oncogenic mutants rather than the density of mutant clones.
