Project description:To identify putative gene regulatory regions that respond to epidermal injury, we mapped chromatin dynamics in a stratified human epidermis during barrier maturation and disruption. Engineered skin substitutes (ESS) cultured at the air-liquid interface were used as a model of developing human epidermis with incomplete barrier formation. The epidermal barrier stabilized following engraftment onto immunocompromised mice, and was compromised again upon injury. Modified formaldehyde-assisted isolation of regulatory elements (FAIRE) was used to identify accessible genomic regions characteristic of monolayer keratinocytes, ESS in vitro, grafted ESS, and tape-stripped ESS graft. We mapped differentiation- and maturation-associated changes in transcription factor binding sites enriched at each stage and observed overrepresentation of AP-1 gene family motifs in barrier- deficient samples. Transcription of TSLP, an important effector of immunological memory in response to allergen exposure, was dramatically elevated in our barrier-deficient samples. We identified dynamic DNA elements that correlated with TSLP induction and may contain enhancers that regulate TSLP. Two dynamic regions were located near the TSLP promoter and overlapped with allergy-associated SNPs rs17551370 and rs2289877, strongly implicating these loci in the regulation of TSLP expression in allergic disease. Additional dynamic chromatin regions ~250kb upstream of the TSLP promoter were found to be in high linkage disequilibrium with allergic disease SNPs. Taken together, these results define dynamic chromatin accessibility changes during epidermal development and dysfunction.

Project description:The blood and lymphatic vasculature is lined by functionally specialised endothelial cells (ECs). In the intestine, ECs act as an essential physical barrier, controlling nutrient transport, facilitating tissue immunosurveillance, and coordinating angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis to ensure appropriate tissue perfusion and drainage. Conversely, endothelial maladaptation can lead to pathological angiogenesis and the perpetuation of inflammation in chronic inflammatory diseases. However, whether enteric ECs actively engage in the regulation of intestinal homeostasis and pathology through integration of environmental cues is currently unknown. Here, we show that the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR), a ligand-activated transcription factor, acts as critical node for EC-sensing of dietary and microbial metabolites. We first established a comprehensive single-cell endothelial atlas of the mouse small intestine uncovering the cellular complexity and functional heterogeneity of blood and lymphatic ECs, identifying transcriptional networks and putative biological roles across endothelial subtypes. Analyses of AHR mediated responses at single-cell resolution identified tissue-protective transcriptional signatures and regulatory networks promoting quiescence and vasculoprotection. Endothelial AHR-deficiency in mice resulted in cellular activation, proliferation, and initiation of angiogenic pathways disrupting tissue homeostasis. In human ECs, AHR signalling promoted quiescence through cell cycle arrest and tempered endothelial inflammatory responses. Together, our data provide a comprehensive dissection of the impact of environmental sensing across the spectrum of enteric endothelia, demonstrating that endothelial AHR signalling serves to promote homeostasis and prevent aberrant inflammatory responses at the intestinal barrier.
