Project description:Epidermal keratinocytes are key for maintenance of the integrity of the epidermis. One of the main drivers of keratinocyte differentiation is the calcium gradient; calcium concentration gradually increases towards the outer layers of the epidermis. Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a disorder associated with a chronic inflammatory state and a compromised epidermal barrier. Keratinocytes secrete lipid-rich small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) that acts as mediators of both local and long-distance signaling.

Project description:Defects of filaggrin (FLG) compromise epidermal barrier function and represent an important known genetic risk factor for atopic dermatitis (AD), but also for systemic atopy, including allergic sensitization and asthma. A loss of epidermal barrier integrity can provide a significant stress for the cells in both the epidermis as well as the underlying dermal layer of the skin, either due to the increased moisture evaporation from the skin or increased penetration of the antigens and microflora into the lower layers. This analysis was therefore designed to understand the effect of this loss of barrier integrity on the total skin transcriptional profile.

Project description:Recently, it was shown that lesional skin of atopic dermatitis patients expresses low levels of some antimicrobial peptides, compared with psoriasis patients. Here we performed microarray analysis on mRNA from purified lesional epidermal cells of patients with chronic plaque psoriasis and chronic atopic dermatitis, to investigate whether this is a general phenomenon for host defense proteins, and how specific it is for this class of molecules. We found overexpression of many antimicrobial genes in keratinocytes from psoriatic skin compared with atopic dermatitis skin. Interestingly, we observed that markers of normal differentiation and the activated/hyperproliferative epidermal phenotype were expressed at equal levels. Chronic lesions of psoriasis and atopic dermatitis patients are remarkably similar with respect to cellular proliferation. We conclude that psoriatic epidermis expresses high levels of host defense proteins compared with atopic dermatitis epidermis, and this phenomenon appears to be specific for these proteins. It remains to be investigated whether this is caused by genetic polymorphisms in pathways leading to an epidermal antimicrobial response, or by differences in the cellular infiltrate in psoriasis compared with atopic dermatitis. In general the microarray technique is used to probe a (very large) number of genes for say the deseased and the healthy state.Then gene ontology is used to detect the involved pathways.We did not set out to find a comprehensive list of genes involved in these skin deseases.We do suspect that the "path way" approach might be a bit anthropomorphic.Here we offered a different approach.We set out to investigate the evolutionary fitness changes from one local maximum , Psoriasis , to another , Atopie. Our hypothesis is that Psoriasis is at one extreme in the reaction of the evolution to invading micro organisms and Atopie at an other.So the vast chemical web called human being with numorous feedback and feed forward signals would then be tilted a bit in multidimensional Gene Space and the microarray technique would show us a glimpse of the involved genes.

Project description:Atopic dermatitis is increasing worldwide, correlating with air pollutions. Various organic components of pollutants activate transcription factor AhR (aryl-hydrocarbon receptor). We have established AhR-CA mice, whose keratinocytes express constitutive-active AhR, and these mice developed atopic dermatitis-like frequent scratching and allergic inflammation. In this study we performed ChIP-seq analyses and identified keratinocyte-specific AhR target genes, including inflammatory cytokines Tslp and IL33, and neurotrophic factor Artemin. While AhR-CA mice exhibited epidermal hyperinnervation and alloknesis leading to hypersensitivity to pruritus, blockade of Artemin alleviated these phenotypes. AhR-CA mice showed scratching-induced barrier insufficiency and enhanced sensitization to epicutaneously-applied antigens, recapitulating human atopic dermatitis. Consistently, AhR activation and Artemin expression was detected in the epidermis of atopic dermatitis patients and keratinocytes exposed to air pollutants. Thus, AhR in keratinocytes senses the environmental stimuli and responds to them through moderating inflammation. We propose a mechanism in which air pollution induces atopic dermatitis through AhR activation.

Project description:Skin colonisation of varied communities of commensal microorganisms, such as Staphylococcus aureus (SA), Staphylococcus epidermidis (SE) and Staphylococcus capitis (SC) form the microbiome; a necessity for healthy skin. The skin changes characteristic of atopic dermatitis, a common inflammatory skin disease, have been shown to provide a favourable niche for SA colonisation. We utilised a reconstructed human epidermal (RHE) model recapitulating the stratified anatomy of the epidermis on which to test host responses to bacterial colonisation. SA proliferation was significantly inhibited in contrast to that seen with SE at both high and low colonisation loads after 24 hours. These data strongly suggest species specific regulation of staphylococcal growth, which is partially mediated by interaction with the epidermis.

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:A life-essential function of the epidermis is to provide a physical barrier that prevents the loss of water and electrolytes. Essential mediators of this permeability barrier function include ceramides, cholesterol and very long chain fatty acids. Accordingly, their alteration may lead to distinct human conditions, including psoriasis or atopic dermatitis. Recently, a frameshift mutation in the human ZNF750 gene, that encodes for a zinc finger transcription factor, causing a seborrhea-like dermatitis with psoriasiform element, has brought ZNF750 as a key element for the maintenance of the epidermal tissue homeostasis. To clarify this hypothesis, with its underlying molecular mechanism, we generated a novel mouse knockout by deleting exon 2. Here, we show that genetic deletion of the mouse homolog ZFP750 results in loss of epidermal permeability barrier function. ZFP750-/- mice die shortly after birth, within 12 hours. In the stratum corneum of ZFP750-/- mice levels of ceramides, nonpolar lipids and intercellular lipid lamellae are significantly reduced. The alteration of the epidermal lipid homeostasis is directly linked to the transcriptional activity of ZFP750. Indeed, in addition to epidermal differentiation genes, ZFP750 directly and/or indirectly regulates the expression of nearly 50 crucial enzymes in the biosynthesis of ceramides, such as SPTLC1, DGAT2, SMPD3, ELOVL7 and DEGS2. Overall, our study identifies the transcription factor ZFP750 as a master regulator of lipid biosynthesis and epidermal homeostasis and may contribute to our understanding of the pathogenesis of several human skin diseases.

Project description:Epigenetic alterations are increasingly recognized as mechanisms for disease-associated changes in genome function and important risk factors for complex diseases. The epigenome differs between cell types and so far has been characterized in few human tissues only. In order to identify disease-associated DNA methylation differences for atopic dermatitis (AD), we investigated DNA from whole blood, T cells, B cells, as well as lesional and non-lesional epidermis from AD patients and healthy controls. To elicit functional links, we examined epidermal mRNA expression profiles. No genome-wide significant DNA methylation differences between AD cases and controls were observed in whole blood, T cells, and B cells, and, in general, intra-individual differences in DNA methylation were larger than interindividual differences. However, striking methylation differences were observed between lesional epidermis from patients and healthy control epidermis for various CpG sites, which partly correlated with altered transcript levels of genes predominantly relevant for epidermal differentiation and innate immune response. Significant DNA methylation differences were discordant in skin and blood samples, suggesting that blood is not an ideal surrogate for skin tissue. Our pilot study provides preliminary evidence for functionally relevant DNA methylation differences associated with AD, particularly in the epidermis, and represents a starting point for future investigations of epigenetic mechanisms in AD. Total RNA obtained from 7 patients from non-lesional skin, 12 patients from lesional skin and 14 controls from healthy skin

Project description:Bioactive sphingolipids serve as an essential building block of membranes, forming a selective barrier ensuring subcellular compartmentalization and facilitating cell type-specific intercellular communication through regulation of the plasma membrane receptor repertoire. How the cell type-specific lipid compositions are achieved and what is their functional significance in tissue morphogenesis and maintenance has remained unclear. Here, we identify a stem-cell specific role for ceramide synthase 4 (CerS4) in orchestrating fate decisions in the skin epidermis. Deletion of CerS4 in the epidermis prevents the effective establishment of the adult hair follicle bulge stem cell (HFSCs) niche due to altered differentiation trajectories of HFSC precursors towards upper hair follicle and inner bulge fates. Mechanistically, the HFSC differentiation defects arise from a stem cell intrinsic imbalance of key ceramides and sphingolipids, and associated hyperactivity of canonical Wnt signaling. The lack of HFSCs leads to disruption of hair follicle architecture and hair follicle barrier function, ultimately triggering a Th2-dominated immune infiltration closely resembling human atopic dermatitis. This work uncovers a fundamental role for a cell state-specific sphingolipid profile in epidermal stem cell homeostasis and the role of an intact stem cell niche in maintaining an intact skin barrier.
