Project description:In this study, we analysed early embryonic skin development (mus musculus; C57BL/6J) at the transcriptional level. Major questions concerned the cell type composition of early embryonic skin, and the emergence of transcriptional heterogeneity among epithelial and stromal precursor cells. Cells were isolated from embryonic dorsal skin and randomly sequenced (scRNA-Seq using 10X Genomics v2) without any cell sorting. Data from three embryonic time points (E12.5, E13.5, and E14.5) was integrated and compared to obtain a better understanding of the dynamics of early skin development.

Project description:Mammalian skin wounds heal by forming fibrotic scars. We report that reindeer antler velvet exhibits regenerative wound healing, whereas identical injury to back skin forms scar. This regenerative capacity was retained following ectopic transplantation of velvet to scar-forming sites. Single-cell mRNA/ATAC-Sequencing revealed that while uninjured velvet fibroblasts resembled human fetal fibroblasts, back skin fibroblasts were enriched in pro-inflammatory features resembling adult human fibroblasts. Injury elicited site-specific immune polarization; back skin fibroblasts amplified the immune response, whereas velvet fibroblasts adopted an immunosuppressive state leading to restrained myeloid maturation and hastened immune resolution ultimately enabling myofibroblast reversion to a regeneration-competent state. Finally, regeneration was blunted following application of back skin associated immunostimulatory signals or inhibition of pro-regenerative factors secreted exclusive to velvet fibroblasts. This study highlights a unique model to interrogate mechanisms underlying divergent healing outcomes and nominates both decoupling of stromal-immune crosstalk and reinforcement of pro-regenerative fibroblast programs to mitigate scar.
Project description:We compared gene expression differences in the polytypic species complex Mus musculus (Mus musculus musculus, Mus musculus domesticus, Mus musculus castaneus and Mus musculus ssp) with that of Mus spretus via oligonucleotide microarrays representing more than 20,000 genes. Analysis of the results by two way ANOVA statistics suggests that the most genes with significant differences in expression levels among the subspecies are found in liver and kidney and the least in testis. This picture is different when one compares with Mus spretus, where the largest number of differences is found in testis. Keywords: multi-species comparison
