Project description:Hypertrophic skin scarring following dermal injury causes extreme pain and psychological trauma for patients. Unfortuately, we do not have effective treatments to prevent or reverse skin scarring. Using RNA and ATAC sequencing of mouse and human fibroblasts, we show that JUN expressing fibroblasts are responsible for skin scarring by regulating CD36 expression. In summary, we show that CD36 antagonism by represent a therapeutic target to overcome JUN hypertrophic skin scarring.

Project description:Hypertrophic scarring (HS) is characterized by excessive extracellular matrix deposition, matrix metalloprotein gene activation, and fibroblast invasive growth. However, the methylation level of hypertrophic scarring is poorly understood. Genome wide DNA methylation profiling of normal skin and hypertrophic scar. The Illumina Infinium Methylation EPIC BeadChip (850K) was used to obtain DNA methylation profiles across approximately 853,307 CpGs in liquid based scar samples. Samples included 6 normal skin, and 6 hypertrophic scar.

Project description:Pathologic skin scarring presents a vast economic and medical burden. Unfortunately, the molecular mechanisms underlying scar formation remain to be elucidated. We used a hypertrophic scarring (HTS) mouse model in which Jun is overexpressed globally or specifically in α-smooth muscle or collagen type I–expressing cells to cause excessive extracellular matrix deposition by skin fibroblasts in the skin after wounding. Jun overexpression triggered dermal fibrosis by modulating distinct fibroblast subpopulations within the wound, enhancing reticular fibroblast numbers, and decreasing lipofibroblasts. Analysis of human scars further revealed that JUN is highly expressed across the wide spectrum of scars, including HTS and keloids. CRISPR-Cas9–mediated JUN deletion in human HTS fibroblasts combined with epigenomic and transcriptomic analysis of both human and mouse HTS fibroblasts revealed that JUN initiates fibrosis by regulating CD36. Blocking CD36 with salvianolic acid B or CD36 knockout model counteracted JUN-mediated fibrosis efficacy in both human fibroblasts and mouse wounds. In summary, JUN is a critical regulator of pathological skin scarring, and targeting its downstream effector CD36 may represent a therapeutic strategy against scarring.

Project description:Diet High in salt content have been associated with cardiovascular disease and chronic inflammation. We recently demonstrated that transient receptor potential canonical 3 (TRPC3) channels regulate myofibroblast transdifferentiation in hypertrophic scars. Here, we examined how high salt activation of TRPC3 participates in hypertrophic scarring during wound healing. In vitro, we confirmed that high salt increased the TRPC3 protein expression and the marker of myofibroblast alpha smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) in wild-type mice (WT) primary cultured dermal fibroblasts but not Trpc3-/- mice. Activation of TRPC3 by high salt elevated cytosolic Ca2+ influx and mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake in dermal fibroblasts in a TRPC3-dependent manner. High salt activation of TRPC3 enhanced mitochondrial respiratory dysfunction and excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) production by inhibiting pyruvate dehydrogenase action, that activated ROS-triggered Ca2+ influx and the Rho kinase/MLC pathway in WT mice but not Trpc3-/- mice. In vivo, a persistent high-salt diet promoted myofibroblast transdifferentiation and collagen deposition in a TRPC3-dependent manner. Therefore, this study demonstrates that high salt enhances myofibroblast transdifferentiation and promotes hypertrophic scar formation through enhanced mitochondrial Ca2+ homeostasis, which activates the ROS-mediated pMLC/pMYPT1 pathway. TRPC3 deficiency antagonizes high salt diet-induced hypertrophic scarring. TRPC3 may be a novel target for hypertrophic scarring during wound healing.

Project description:We hypothesize that, the mTOR pathway is a dominant pathway in cultured keloid and hypertrophy scar fibriblasts compared to normal skin cells. Certain pathway changes can be detected after medication treatment. Global gene expression in RNA samples from rapamycin and tacrolimus treated fibroblasts (from normal skin and hypertrophic scars, keloid scars) is assayed to study the possibility to use mTOR inhibitors as potential drug to treat abnormal scarring. We investigated the difference between normal wound healing and hypertrophic scars and keloids as well.

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:Full thickness and deep partial thickness burn injuries heal by scarring. There are several mechanisms thought to be essential for the development of burn scars, but a challenge to studying the skin response to burn injury is that there are few animal models of burn scarring that are either clinically similar to human burn scars or are practical for most investigators to use. The purpose of this study was to examine the changes in RNA expression in human skin to burn injury. This was done by comparing pre-injury tissue from otherwise healthy adults undergoing aesthetic scarification created by branding with a hot metal object to serial samples of untreated wounds in the same subjects.

Project description:After disruption of the skin, fibroblasts along wound edges are constantly exposed to high levels of stress, resulting in increased collagen synthesis and decreased apoptosis. Emerge evidences shows that, the hypertrophic scars tissue fibrosis phenomena are original from the intrinsic cellular mechanical stretch. Traditional glucocorticoids on hypertrophic scarring have been performed for 30 years, utilizing for their anti-inflammatory, anti-allergenic and immunomodulatory effects and for their well-established, pro-apoptotic effects on hematological malignancies. To explore effects of glucocorticoid triamcinolone acetonide for responses to mechanical stress in hypertrophic scars fibroblasts (HSFB), we performed microarrays to explore the differential gene expression.
