▼ BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Senile lentigines typically appear as dark brown macules on sun-exposed areas. Histologically, they are characterized by hyperpigmentation in the basal layer of the epidermis, combined with elongation of rete ridges. The molecular pathogenesis underlying the initiation and formation of senile lentigines are not completely understood. The histological and immunohistochemical features that characterize facial senile lentigines and their gene expression profiles were investigated.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: For routine and immunohistochemical study, formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded tissue blocks obtained from 20 Korean patients (1 man, 19 women) were used. Immunohistochemical staining of tyrosinase, NKI/beteb, MITF (microphthalmia-associated transcription factor), Ki67, SFRP2 (secreted frizzled-related protein 2), Wnt-5a, p16 and p53 and computer-assisted image analysis were performed. DNA microarray analysis was carried in one female volunteer with both lentigo and melasma.
RESULTS: Histological features of senile lentigo of the face were characterized by epidermal hyperpigmentation due to melanocytic proliferation and activation. Epidermal thickness was increased due to increased size of keratinocytes, rather than the number of keratinocytes. In contrast to lentigo occurring elsewhere, facial lentigo in my series showed flattened epidermis rather than lentiginous epidermal hyperplasia in 80% of cases. NKI/beteb and tyrosinase staining suggests melanocytes are constantly activated throughout the evolution of lentigo. Increased expression of p53 in lesion suggests ultraviolet light irradiation is an important factor for epidermal hyperpigmentation. Wnt signaling pathway-associated factors were partially evident in the lesional skin, indicating possible involvement. The severity of senile lentigines could be correlated with the degree of epidermal hyperplasia and categorized, which was further supported by modulations of proliferation and senescence markers. Differentially expressed genes among the normal skin, lentigo and melasma were identified by Affymetrix gene expression analysis, but the results did not match the outcomes derived from immunohistochemistry.
CONCLUSIONS: Senile lentigo is a pigmentary disorder of both melanocytes and keratinocytes, controlled by intricate interactions between epidermal and dermal mesenchymal cells.

Activation of Epidermal Toll-like Receptor 2 Enhances
Tight Junction Function:Implications for Atopic Dermatitis and Skin

▼ Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a Th2-skewed,
allergen-driven skin disease
characterized by epidermal tight
junction (TJ) defects and a propensity for
Staphylococcus aureus
(S. aureus) skin infections. One widely held
hypothesis is that
the leaky epithelial barrier promotes immunologic
responsiveness
to allergens through the skin. Toll-like receptor (TLR) 2, a
key
innate receptor responsive to S. aureus, was originally recognized
for its
antimicrobial actions, but recently it has been shown to
regulate intestinal
epithelial barrier. We hypothesized that an
effective cutaneous innate
immune response might also include skin
barrier repair. Furthermore, this
barrier repair response may be
impaired in AD patients.
To determine the importance of TLR2 in
epidermal barrier function, we
used primary human keratinocytes
(PHK), discarded human skins and Tlr2-/-
mice. The TLR2 agonist
increased TJ protein expression and function in PHK
and enhanced
TJ barrier repair in a murine wound model that mimics the
itch-scratch cycle observed in AD patients. Since AD is a
Th2-polarized
inflammatory disorder, we hypothesized that Th2
cytokines might impair this
TLR2-mediated barrier repair function.
Th2 cytokines decreased TLR2
protein expression and attenuated
TLR2’s barrier repair function in PHK and
human epidermis. STAT6VT
mice with a hyper-Th2 immune profile had
reduced epidermal TLR2
protein expression and impaired TJ barrier recovery
in response to
TLR2 agonist. Bringing this observation back to human AD,
we
observed that epidermal TLR2 protein immunoreactivity was
significantly
reduced in nonlesional and lesional AD skin as
compared to nonatopic controls
(NA). The intensity of the TLR2
staining inversely correlated with skin barrier
integrity and two
Th2 biomarkers (serum total IgE levels and circulating
eosinophil
counts).
In summary, TLR2 activation enhances TJ barrier in murine
and human
epidermis and is an important part of an epidermal wound
repair response.
Th2 cytokines commonly found in AD skin reduce
epidermal TLR2 expression
and barrier repair function. Our
findings strongly suggest that antagonizing
Th2 cytokines in AD
patients may restore TLR2-mediated innate immune
responses, which
will help repair epidermal barrier defects and possibly also
eliminate unwanted cutaneous pathogens.

▼ Barrier tissues such as the skin and intestine are important for the first line of defense against injury and exposure to potentially harmful toxicants or pathogens from the external environment. The cellular response in these tissues to stimuli often begins with altered levels of gene expression. Ligand-activated transcription factors such as the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) are important mediators of this response. Due to the complex nature of AHR activation and its often context-specific role in health and disease, the use of relevant in vitro and in vivo models is necessary to fully elucidate its specific roles in a particular tissue. This dissertation describes the characterization of an AHR-regulated gene in the skin which is induced in response to AHR activation and inflammatory stimuli, the development of a mouse model for studying AHR activation during ultraviolet light exposure, and the development of a mouse model for use in determining the role of AHR expression in intestinal epithelial cells. The results of these studies confirm both the complex nature of AHR activation in different contexts and the importance of its expression in barrier tissues.

▼ Previous studies have shown that fish release alarming substances into the water to alert their kin to escape from danger. In our laboratory, we found that zebrafish produce trypsin and release it from their gills into the environment when they are under stress. By placing the zebrafish larvae in the middle of a small tank and then placing trypsin at one end of the tank, we observed that the larvae moved away from the trypsin zone and almost to the opposite end of the tank. This escape response was significant and did not occur in response to the control substances, bovine serum albumin (BSA), Russell's viper venom (RVV), and collagen. Also, previously, we had shown that the trypsin could act via a protease-activated receptor-2 (PAR2) on the surface of the cells. Therefore, we hypothesized that trypsin would induce a change in neuronal activity in the brain via PAR2-mediated signaling in cells on the surface of the fish body. To investigate whether the trypsin-responsive cells were surface cells, we generated a primary cell culture of zebrafish keratinocytes, confirmed these cells' identity by specific marker expression, and then incubated these cells with the calcium indicator Fluo-4 and exposed them to trypsin. By using calcium flux assay in a flow-cytometer, we found that trypsin-treated keratinocytes showed an increase in intracellular calcium release. To test whether PAR2 mediates the escape response to trypsin, we treated larvae with a PAR2 antagonist and showed that the trypsin-initiated escape response was abrogated. Furthermore, par2a mutants with knockdown of par2a by the piggyback knockdown method failed to respond to trypsin. Trypsin treatment of adult fish led to an approximately 2-fold increase in brain c-fos mRNA levels 45 mins after trypsin treatment, suggesting that trypsin signals may have reached the brain, probably via a spinothalamic pathway. Taken together, our results reveal a novel trypsin-initiated escape response in fish. These studies should enhance our understanding of fish communication in general and alarm behavior in particular. Furthermore, since pain receptors in other animals are also PAR2, our finding may be useful in exploring pathways of pain reception.

▼ Introduction My doctoral work focuses on the disease vitiligo vulgaris. Several treatments already exist however, one totally successful remedy is unavailable. I have focused on cell-based technologies to refine the melanocyte–keratinocyte transplantation procedure (MKTP) that is currently in use. Treating this disease is important not just for its physical but its emotional effects. Aim and objectives The broad aim of my doctoral work was to establish techniques to enhance the MKTP vitiligo treatment by developing a method for isolating melanocyte and keratinocyte cells from skin, co-culturing in different ratios and manipulating this by different factors. Methods A co-culture system of melanocytes and keratinocytes at different ratios (1:3, 1:5 and 1:10) was established. Co-culture at different ratios was exposed to various concentrations of αMSH (2.5 μg/ml, 5 μg/ml and 10 μg/ml) and UVB (10 mJ/cm2, 20 mJ/cm2 and 30 mJ/cm2). Cells were evaluated for changes in morphology, melanin content, tyrosinase activity and the expression of selected markers (S100, TYRP1, TYR, pan-cytokeratin, cytokeratin 10 and filaggrin).

▼ La phase de l'épithélialisation de la réparation cutanée se déroule en impliquant plusieurs processus dynamiques et interactifs pendant lesquels les kératinocytes migrent, prolifèrent et se différentient afin de reconstruire la fonction de la barrière. La migration des kératinocytes est l'événement qui détermine l'efficacité du processus entier. Le comportement migratoire est contrôlé au même temps au niveau extracellulaire et intracellulaire et dépend d'interactions dynamiques entre les cellules et leur environnement extracellulaire, des facteurs de croissance et des cytokines. Parmi les protéines de la matrice extracellulaire, la laminine 332 est un substrat d'adhésion majeur des kératinocytes qui joue un rôle important au cours de la migration des kératinocytes, travers son domaine LG4/5 localisé à l'extrémité carboxy-terminale de sa chaine a. Des études récentes ont rapporté que l'induction de la migration des kératinocytes par LG4/5 est dépendante des Métalloprotéinases Matricielles pro-migratoires (MMP)-9 et -1 qui jouent des rôles essentiels au cours de la cicatrisation et surtout pendant la ré-épithélialisation. Etant donné que des travaux antérieurs du laboratoire ont montré que le domaine LG4/5 participe à la dynamique du cytosquelette et à la motilité cellulaire au travers de liaisons avec les récepteurs de type de protéoglycanes à heparane sulfate, syndécan-1 et -4 on a regardé l'implication potentielle de ces récepteurs au processus. Afin d'analyser la participation possible des syndecans dans ce processus, nous avons développé une approche de mutagénèse dirigée dans la protéine LG4/5 recombinante pour altérer les sites de liaison aux syndécan-1 ou -4. Notre analyse PCR et nos résultats de zymographie ont révélé une différence du profile d'activation des MMPs en fonction de la mutation produite et donc de la capacité de la protéine à recruter le syndécan-1 ou le syndécan-4, ainsi que le syndécan-1, et pas la syndécan-4, est impliqué dans l'activation de la production de la MMP-9 par LG4/5. Nous avons ensuite confirmé ces résultats en réduisant l'expression du syndécan-1 dans des kératinocytes et on a pu aussi montrer que le traitement avec des cytokines telles que TNFalpha et IL-1beta, connues pour leur capacité d'induire l'activation de la MMP-9, a produit le même résultat dans ce systéme. L'addition de l'héparine dans nos experiences a inhibé l'activation de l'expression de MMP-9 suggerant que les heparanes sulfates dans syndecan-1 sont impliqué au mécanisme. Pour confirmer ces résultats des experiences avec des séries de syndecan-1 mutés sont en cours. Pour conclure, nos résultats montrent pour la première fois un rôle important de syndecan-1 à l'expression de MMP-9 suggérant que sa re-distribution au front des kératinocytes migratoires puisse éventuellement être liée au clivage ou à la dégradation des protéines de la matrice extracellulaire. En plus, nos résultats proposent que le domain LG4/5 de la laminin 332 libéré soit capable d'affecter la balance de l'expression de la MMP-9 lors de la migration…

▼ Tumor Susceptibility Gene 101, TSG101, exhibits multiple biological functions including the regulation of gene transcription, vesicular trafficking, cellular growth and differentiation. However, the signals involve in the regulation of TSG101 gene functions are unclear. In this present study, we observed congruous TSG101 up-regulation and the differentiation status of
keratinocyte in both human foreskin tissue and reconstructed organotypic skin culture. In addition, we found an essential and downstream role of TSG101 in calcium-induced early
keratinocyte differentiation since TSG101 siRNA inhibits this process. Our results also indicate a PKC-dependent mechanism is involved based on the following findings. First, a PKC agonist, TPA up-regulates TSG101 and keratin 10 under low calcium condition. Second, co-treatment of keratinocytes with GF 109203X, a PKC inhibitor, blocks TPA-induced TSG101 and keratin 10 up-regulation. Previous report indicates TSG101 gene exhibits a TATA-less and Sp1-containing promoter. Our analysis further shows that both calcium and TPA stimulate phosphorylation of Sp1 and the corresponding TSG101 wild type promoter activity, but not the activity of Sp1 site mutant TSG101 promoter. The co-treatment with GF 109203X blocks the above effects of calcium and TPA, implying that this is a PKC signaling-dependent process. Taken together, these data suggest a PKC-Sp1 signaling is involved in early differentiation switch of
keratinocyte through up-regulation of TSG101. Functional inactivation experiment indicates that tsg101 is a tumor suppressor in mouse model. However, many studies using human tumor specimens or conditional knockout mouse give discrepant and contradictive results. Therefore, the role of TSG101 in human cancer remains illusive. Here we demonstrate an inverse correlation between TSG101 and p16INK4a or acetylated- histone H4 protein expression profiles in human head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC) (N=98, p<0.001). Using conditioned human HEp2 cells, we confirm that TSG101 negatively modulates p16INK4a expression. Chromatin immunoprecipitation and the subsequent PCR analysis reveal that TSG101 dose-dependently decreases the amount of acetylated histone H4-associated chromatin on p16INK4a promoter. In addition, TSG101 interacts and colocalizes with HDAC1 and SUMO-1 in the nucleus. Furthermore, TSG101 confers a dose-dependent effect on promoting HDAC1 SUMOylation, hence its activity. Taken together, our data demonstrate for the first time that TSG101 can promote SUMO-1 modification of HDAC1, which impacts on down-regulation of p16INK4a gene expression, providing evidence whereby TSG101 might participate in the epigenetic silencing of p16INK4a during the development of HNSCC.

▼ Atopic eczema is a T-lymphocyte mediated chronic inflammatory skin disorder. The
interaction of CD4+ T-lymphocytes with epidermal keratinocytes results in
dysregulated, chronic inflammation and altered barrier function. T-lymphocyte induced
keratinocyte apoptosis has been proposed as a mechanism by which epidermal integrity
is impaired in eczema. Apoptosis of keratinocytes is thought to result from Tlymphocyte
associated Fas ligand (FasL) binding to the death receptor Fas on
keratinocytes. The primary aim of this project was to characterize the induction of
keratinocyte apoptosis by T-lymphocytes and address the hypothesis that insulin-like
growth factor-I (IGF-1), transforming growth factor [beta]1 (TGF[beta]1) and a milk derived
growth factor extract containing TGF[beta] and IGF-I (whey growth factor extract; WGFE)
protect keratinocytes from T-lymphocyte mediated apoptosis.
To address the aims of this project, an in vitro co-culture model was developed combining T-lymphocytes with keratinocytes. Co-cultures were initially established using human Jurkat T-lymphocytes and human HaCaT keratinocytes with more extensive characterisation undertaken using primary CD4+ T-lymphocytes together with HaCaTs or normal human epidermal keratinocytes (NHEK). Annexin V and propidium iodide staining was established as the primary method for measuring keratinocyte apoptosis with this validated using sodium butyrate a known inducer of apoptosis. Changes in nuclear fragmentation and cell morphology were also examined as a key feature of apoptosis. The involvement of the Fas pathway was investigated by assessing T-lymphocyte FasL expression, keratinocyte Fas expression and downstream caspase activation. Inflammatory cytokines IFN[gamma] and TNF[alpha] were also examined due to their ability to induce Fas expression.
Studies performed with T-lymphocytes demonstrated that keratinocyte apoptosis was induced, with this due primarily to direct T-lymphocytes and keratinocytes interactions, rather than soluble mediators in the co-culture milieu. Activated T-lymphocytes were found to have high levels of FasL and to upregulate keratinocyte Fas expression. The increased keratinocyte Fas was associated with increased IFN[gamma] levels in the co-culture media and activation of the caspase cascade. A Fas blocking antibody prevented T-lymphocyte induced keratinocyte apoptosis demonstrating that this was a Fas dependent event.
As the primary function of keratinocytes is to terminally differentiate, the differentiation status of the cells induced to undergo apoptosis was examined. It was demonstrated that T-lymphocytes decrease the intensity of ?6 integrin expression by the keratinocytes. This marker identifies undifferentiated basal cells as high expressors of [alpha]6, with cells in the early stages of differentiation pathway found to be low expressors of [alpha]6. Co-staining with Annexin V demonstrated that the apoptotic keratinocytes were low expressors of [alpha]6 and thus cells…

▼ Transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) reportedly causes the differentiation of fibroblasts to myofibroblasts during wound healing. We investigated the mechanism underlying the activation of latent TGF-β1 released by keratinocytes in efforts to identify promising pharmacological approaches for the prevention of hypertrophic scar formation. A three-dimensional collagen gel matrix culture was prepared using rat keratinocytes and dermal fibroblasts. Stratified keratinocytes promoted the TGF receptor-dependent increase in α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) immunostaining and mRNA levels in fibroblasts. Latent TGF-β1 was found to be localized suprabasally and secreted. α-SMA expression was inhibited by an anti-αv-integrin antibody and a matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) inhibitor, GM6001. In a two-dimensional fibroblast culture, α-SMA expression depended on the production of endogenous TGF-β1 and required αv-integrin or MMP for the response to recombinant latent TGF-β1. In keratinocyte-conditioned medium, MMP-dependent latent TGF-β1 secretion was detected. Applying this medium to the fibroblast culture enhanced α-SMA production. This effect was decreased by GM6001, the anti-αv-integrin antibody, or the preabsorption of latent TGF-β1. These results indicate that keratinocytes secrete latent TGF-β1, which is liberated to fibroblasts over distance and is activated to produce α-SMA with the aid of a positive-feedback loop. MMP inhibition was effective for targeting both keratinocytes and fibroblasts in this model.

▼ BACKGROUND:CLCA was postulated to be a calcium-activated chloride channel accessory protein. Recent reports indicate that CLCA isoforms are likely to be expressed in different layers of the stratified epithelium of the skin.OBJECTIVE:The present study investigated the transcriptional mechanism by which murine CLCA2 (mCLCA2) is expressed in the transformed keratinocyte line Pam212 that can differentiate.METHODS:A luciferase reporter assay, chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assay, reverse transcription-PCR, and immunocytochemistry were performed using Pam212 cells.RESULTS:Promoter activity of mCLCA2 was inhibited profoundly by site-directed mutagenesis of a putative nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) binding site and by treatment with siRNA against p65. ChIP and transcription factor assays showed the specific association of endogenously activated p65 protein with the NF-κB binding domain. As confirmed by the nuclear translocation of p65, tumor necrosis factor α and caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) increased and decreased mCLCA2 promoter activity, respectively, but exhibited modest effects on endogenous mCLCA2 expression in cells in culture medium containing 0.05 mM Ca(2+). When the Ca(2+) concentration was raised to 1.0mM, the mRNA and protein levels of mCLCA2 increased as well as those of the differentiation markers keratin 1 (K1) and K10. CAPE profoundly suppressed only the Ca(2+)-triggered expression of mCLCA2, not K1 or K10. Immunohistochemistry of native skin and organotypic 3D cultures confirmed the distribution of the CLCA2 homolog in differentiated cells.CONCLUSION:The present study revealed for the first time that basal NF-κB activity is involved in the Ca(2+)-dependent regulation of mCLCA2 expression in a mouse keratinocyte line.

▼ Background: Oral cancer is the sixth most frequent cancer worldwide. Ninety percent of the newly diagnosed oral cancers (+400,000/ year) are characterized as squamous cell carcinomas (SCC). SCC, which develops in the cells of the oral epithelium, is a highly aggressive and destructive cancer with a propensity for invasion of surrounding tissues and recurrence. Consequently, little is known about the preventive factors that modulate the risk of oral carcinogenesis. Recently however, two epidemiological studies investigating the predictive factors of cancer, found their strongest association between low levels of vitamin D and oro-pharyngeal cancer. It is our labs goal to further investigate this matter in a cellular model that parallels human oro-pharyngeal carcinogenesis. Recently, our lab identified a novel interaction between Cyclin D1 and a nuclear hormone receptor that modulates gene expression, known as the vitamin D receptor (VDR). Objectives: The objective of our research is to investigate the effect of vitamin D treatment on human keratinocytes engineered to overexpress an oncogene (Cyclin D1) commonly amplified in SCC. We intend to explore vitamin D's effect by monitoring changes in the localization of key components in both the VDR and Cyclin D1 pathways. Our findings should begin address the question of whether the interaction of Cyclin D1 and VDR has any impact on key components in either pathway. Methods: Transgenic keratinocytes over expressing cyclin D1 (OKF6-D1) will be used to examine the relationship between the VDR and Cyclin D1 pathways. Immuno-staining of key pathway components will be used to localize these components to nuclear or cytoplasmic compartments that can be visualized by immunofluorescence (IF) . Lastly, western blot analysis of fractionated lysates (cytoplasmic and nuclear) from transgenic and control keratinocytes will be used to confirm any IF findings . Results: Immunohistochemistry points toward a difference in the localization of VDR when transgenic cells are ligand treated. Lastly, reduced levels of VDRs heterodimeric partner (RXR) were identified when transgenic keratinocytes were treated with vitamin D.

▼ Human papillomaviruses (HPVs) are small circular DNA viruses that persistently infect stratified squamous epithelia. HPVs are implicated in the etiology of a wide variety of hyperproliferative lesions, and particularly in cancer of the cervix. Although much effort has been made to understand the mechanisms by which these agents can lead to the development of malignant carcinomas, much less is understood about the normal life cycle of HPVs. It is clear that all of the major life cycle events of HPV are tied to the differentiation of
keratinocyte host cells, including transcription, splicing, translation, replication, virion morphogenesis, and shedding. As a step towards understanding the normal life cycle of HPVs, we have undertaken studies of the differentiation-dependent “late” promoter, p742. Transcripts from this promoter become very abundant upon differentiation of the host cell. We have mapped the core p742 promoter to a 150 base pair region in the E7 ORF and demonstrated that E6/E7 ORF region contains several positive and negative transcriptional elements, including at least one element that acts on the upstream promoter p99. We have found that several differentiation-related transcription factors, including CDP, Skn-1a, and Tst-1 can repress transcriptional activity from p742. The major differentiation response elements appear to reside in the area of the multiple start sites, and enhancer elements in the viral upstream regulatory region contribute to both basal and differentiation-dependent p742 activity. The viral transcription factor E2 does not appear to regulate this promoter. Using several techniques, we have discovered that productive viral genome replication, which is also differentiation dependent, is neither necessary nor sufficient for p742 activation. Finally, we showed that p742 requires the PKCd signaling pathway, and replication requires tyrosine kinases and several of the PKC isoforms. These studies shed light on the elements in the virus genome responsible for late promoter activity, the interaction between differentiation-dependent viral processes, and the signaling pathways in a differentiating cell to which the virus responds.

▼ A number of different methods to generate stratified
keratinocyte layers have been published. These involved the use of normal human epidermal keratinocytes (NHEKs/NEKS), which have a better ability to stratify compared to HaCaT keratinocytes, which usually require supplemented growth factors or stromal interactions with fibroblasts to do so.
This study aimed to generate a model of stratified keratinocytes, closely resembling in vivo skin, using HaCaT cells and to demonstrate the effect that C. trachomatis has on these layered keratinocytes, allowing us to gain insight on the pathophysiology of this organism.
All cells and bacteria were propagated and titrated according to conventional protocols. HaCaT cells were subcultured upon confluence, seeded (1x106 cells/ml) onto collagen-coated PTFE Transwell membrane inserts and incubated at 33°C and 37°C for 24 days to allow differentiation and stratification. Once cells became confluent they were exposed to the air-liquid interface and fed with KGM Gold (Lonza) supplemented with 10% FBS and additional calcium. Thereafter, cells were fixed in 3.7% phosphate-buffered formaldehyde, embedded in a paraffin block, sectioned, stained and viewed. Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) staining was used to determine the resemblance to in vivo human skin. Immunofluorescence was used to detect keratin 10, keratin 14 and involucrin which are markers of
keratinocyte differentiation. Stratified
keratinocyte layers were infected with C.
trachomatis and this was confirmed using the MicroTrak ® C. trachomatis Culture Confirmation Test Kit. Subsequent changes to the layers were also observed and recorded.
It was shown that HaCaT cells grown at the air-liquid interface on collagen-coated PTFE Transwell membrane inserts were able to stratify at 33°C. However, more layers of keratinocytes were seen at 37°C after the same duration of incubation (24 days). Keratin 10, keratin 14 and involucrin were all detected in the layers grown at both temperatures, suggesting that the keratinocytes had committed to differentiation. However, the fluorescence seen at 33°C for keratin 10 and involucrin was more intense as compared to that seen at 37°. This suggests that although stratification was faster at 37°C, differentiation was quicker at 33°C.
C. trachomatis was able to infect layered keratinocytes grown at both temperatures although not all layers formed at 33°C were infected. Degradation of

trachomatis was more prominent in those grown at 37°C, which is in keeping with previous findings that the optimum growth temperature of the C. trachomatis LGV biovar is 37°C.
This study provided a novel insight in suggesting the manner in which C. trachomatis is able to infect and migrate through in vivo skin, leaving room for further studies in which similar methods of generating stratified keratinocytes may be used to better understand the pathophysiology of various other organisms that affect keratinocytes.

▼ Protein Tyrosine Kinase 6 (PTK6) belongs to a small family of Src-related nonmyristoylated intracellular tyrosine kinases and is involved in normal epithelial homeostasis and cancer. PTK6 is expressed in the stratified squamous epithelium of the skin in the differentiated suprabasal cell layer, and its expression is induced by differentiation. PTK6 expression is also induced by stress and DNA damage. We treated carcinogen-sensitive wild-type and Ptk6-null SENCAR mice with incremental doses of UV-B over time to induce tumorigenesis and identify the contribution of PTK6. Ptk6+/+ mice developed more tumors at a faster rate than Ptk6-/- mice. Ptk6+/+ mice were also more sensitive to UVR than Ptk6-/- mice and exhibited greater activation of STAT3, FAK, and BCAR1. Ptk6+/+ mice developed a greater tumor load more rapidly than Ptk6-/- mice. PTK6 did not directly promote proliferation, but was strongly expressed and activated in invasive basal cells.

▼ The basement membrane zone (BMZ) consists of multiple components, including collagen XVII (COL17), which is the major targeted antigen of pemphigoid diseases such as bullous pemphigoid (BP) and mucous membrane pemphigoid (MMP). The blistering mechanisms in pemphigoid have not been fully elucidated, especially in MMP, which mainly affects the mucosa. No research has addressed the differences in BMZ components between the skin and the oral mucosa. In this study, we investigate the differences of BMZ proteins especially COL17 between the skin and the oral mucosa to elucidate the pathogenesis of oral lesion in pemphigoid. We showed that the MMP sera react preferentially to the oral mucosal substrates than the skin substrates. As well as the diversity of the reactivity of MMP autoantibodies, it was suggested that there are certain differences between the skin and the oral mucosa as autoantigens itself. We found that the expression levels of COL17 were significantly higher in normal human oral mucosal keratinocytes (NHOMKs) than in normal human epidermal keratinocytes (NHEKs). The high expression levels of COL17 compensate for COL17-depletion induced by pemphigoid IgG. These results may influence the clinical differences in pemphigoid. Furthermore, using immunoprecipitation, we revealed that COL17 directly binds to collagen IV (COL4) in NHEKs and NHOMKs. In particular, the C-terminus of COL17 is binding site to COL4 in NHOMKs. MMP-IgG or monoclonal antibody recognizing the C-terminus hindered the interaction of COL17 with COL4 in NHOMKs. These results are clinically relevant to less inflammatory phenotype in MMP. The inflammatory infiltrates around perilesions were significantly less in MMP compared to BP. These results indicate that pemphigoid IgG targeting the C-terminus plays a pathogenic role in blister formation in the oral mucosa to inhibit protein interactions with less inflammation.

▼ Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) and their receptors (BMPRs) coordinate tissue development and postnatal remodelling by regulating proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis. However, their role in wound healing remains unclear. To study this, transgenic mice overexpressing Smad1 (K14-caSmad1) or the BMP antagonist Noggin (K14-Noggin) were utilised, together with human and mouse ex vivo wound healing models and in vitro keratinocyte culture. In wild-type mice, transcripts for Bmpr-1A, Bmpr-II, Bmp ligands and Smad proteins were decreased following tissue injury, whilst Bmpr-1B expression was up-regulated. Furthermore, immunohistochemistry revealed a down-regulation of BMPR-1A in hair follicles adjacent to the wound in murine skin, whilst in murine and human wounds, BMPR-1B and phospho-Smad-1/5/8 expression was pronounced in the wound epithelial tongue. K14-caSmad1 mice displayed retarded wound healing, associated with reduced keratinocyte proliferation and increased apoptosis, whilst K14-Noggin mice exhibited accelerated wound healing. Furthermore, microarray analysis of K14-caSmad1 epidermis revealed decreased expression of distinct cytoskeletal and cell motility-associated genes including wound-associated keratins (Krt16, Krt17) and Myo5a versus controls. Human and mouse keratinocyte proliferation and migration were suppressed by BMP-4/7 both in vitro and ex vivo, whilst they were stimulated by Noggin. Additionally, K14-caSmad1 keratinocytes showed retarded migration compared to controls when studied in vitro. Furthermore, Bmpr-1B silencing accelerated migration and was associated with increased expression of Krt16, Krt17 and Myo5a versus controls. Thus, this study demonstrates that BMPs inhibit proliferation, migration and cytoskeletal re-organization in epidermal keratinocytes during wound healing, and raises a possibility that BMP antagonists may be used for the future management of chronic wounds.

▼ Connexins have been frequently identified as tumor suppressors in many cancers, however, their role in melanoma tumorigenesis remains controversial. Here, we show that B16-BL6 mouse melanoma cells express low levels of Cx26 and Cx43, rendering them gap junctional intercellular communication (GJIC) deficient. Following ectopic expression of Cx26 and Cx43, gap junction-like plaques were evident at the cell surface and the incidence of dye transfer was significantly increased similar to connexin-rich keratinocytes. The expression of Cx43, but not Cx26, significantly reduced proliferation and anchorage-independent growth relative to controls, whereas migration was unaffected. Additionally, Cx43-expressing melanoma cells displayed significantly reduced growth amongst keratinocytes, despite a complete lack of heterocellular GJIC. Furthermore, when grown in vivo in the chicken embryo, Cx43-expressing melanoma cells formed significantly smaller primary tumors compared to controls, whereas Cx26 expression did not alter primary tumor size. Collectively, these results suggest that Cx43, but not Cx26, acts as a tumor suppressor during melanoma tumorigenesis.

▼ Skin wound healing presents a challenging and expensive clinical problem with nearly 20 million wounds requiring intervention leading to an annual cost of more than $8 million. Tissue engineered skin substitutes are valuable not only as a clinical therapy for chronic wounds and severe traumas, but also as in vitro 3D model systems to investigate wound healing and skin pathogenesis. However, these substitutes are limited by a lack of topography at the dermal-epidermal junction (DEJ). In contrast, the native DEJ is characterized by a series of dermal papillae which project upward into the epidermal layer and create physical topographic microniches that support
keratinocyte stem cell clustering. In this thesis, we created novel 3D skin model systems to investigate the role of microtopography in regulating
keratinocyte function and cell fate using scaffolds containing precisely engineered topographic features. We hypothesized that the microtopography of the DEJ creates distinct
keratinocyte microniches that promote epidermal morphogenesis and modulate
keratinocyte stem cell clustering which can be harnessed to create a more robust skin substitute that expedites wound closure. Using photolithographic techniques, we created micropatterned DEJ analogs and micropatterned dermal-epidermal regeneration matrices (µDERM) which couple a dermal support matrix to a micropatterned DEJ analog. We found that the incorporation of microtopography into our in vitro skin model resulted in a thicker, more robust epidermal layer. Additionally, we identified three distinct functional
keratinocyte niches: the proliferative niche in narrow channels, the synthetic niche in wide channels and the
keratinocyte stem cell niche in narrow channels and corner topographies. Ultimately, incorporation of both narrow and wide channels on a single construct allowed us to recreate native
keratinocyte stem cell patterning in vitro. These model systems will allow us to investigate the role of cellular microniches in regulating cellular function and epidermal disease pathogenesis as well as to identify topographic cues that enhance the rate of wound healing.

▼ Los glucocorticoides (GCs) sintéticos han sido ampliamente utilizados para el tratamiento de las enfermedades autoinmunes e inflamatorias y ejercen sus acciones mediante la unión al receptor de GCs (GR en inglés) (Ramamoorthy y Cidlowski, 2016). GR es un factor de transcripción (TF en inglés) que pertenece a la superfamilia de receptores nucleares que media importantes procesos fisiológicos (Sacta et al., 2016). Tras la unión del ligando, GR se transloca al núcleo y ejerce sus acciones mediante la unión a DNA o interaccionando con otros factores de transcripción. La regulación transcripcional directa por GR implica su unión a secuencias reguladoras de ADN específicas llamadas elementos de respuesta a GC o GREs.
Durante mucho tiempo, se postuló que GR inducía sus efectos antiinflamatorios exclusivamente a través de la transrepresión mediante la inhibición de las vías inflamatorias conocidas, incluyendo NF-B, AP-1 y MAPKs (Weikum et al., 2017). Sin embargo, ahora se acepta que la inducción transcripcional de varias dianas clásicas que contienen GRE también es clave para las acciones anti-inflamatorias de GR (De Bosscher and Haegeman, 2009). El tratamiento continuo o altas dosis de GCs pueden producir efectos secundarios no deseados (atrofia de la piel), lo que puede tener un gran impacto en la población (Sacta et al., 2016). Por lo tanto, es importante comprender los mecanismos por los que GR regula la transcripción en la piel y su impacto en los efectos terapéuticos y adversos de los GCs.
En la parte I de esta tesis se estudió la regulación de GC-induced leucine zipper (Gilz/Tsc22d3) y Zinc Finger Protein 36/Tristetraprolin (Zfp36/Ttp), dos dianas transcripcionales primarias de GR que contienen motivos de unión GRE, en queratinocitos epidérmicos. Éstas y otras dianas de GCs se han identificado previamente en el laboratorio mediante ensayos GR ChIP-seq en los que GRE, Krüppel-like factor (KLF), y AP-1 eran los motivos de unión más sobre-representados. Dada la relevancia de GR y KLF4 en la piel, hemos analizado las interacciones funcionales entre estos factores de transcripción y su impacto en la expresión de los genes Gilz/Tsc22d3 y Zfp36/Ttp.
Los experimentos de pérdida de función de GR y KLF4 mostraron un requisito total de GR pero parcial de KLF4 para la completa inducción de genes en respuesta a dexametasona (Dex). En los queratinocitos terminalmente diferenciados inducidos por calcio, la expresión de la proteína GR y KLF4 aumentó coincidiendo con el aumento de Gilz/Tsc22d3 y Zfp36/Ttp. Sin embargo, las células deficientes en GR no lograron diferenciar o inducir completamente Gilz, Zfp36 y Klf4, correlacionando con el aumento de la expresión de Trp63, un conocido represor transcripcional de KLF4 que es específico del epitelio. La cooperación transcripcional identificada entre GR y KLF4 puede que determine la regulación específica del tipo celular y tiene implicaciones para el desarrollo de terapias para enfermedades de la piel.
En la parte II de esta tesis, hemos investigado GILZ, que se ha demostrado…

▼ El receptor de glucocorticoides (GR) juega un papel crucial en la morfogénesis epidérmica durante el desarrollo embrionario, como se ha demostrado mediante el análisis de modelos de ratones genéticamente modificados con ganancia y pérdida de función de GR. La formación del párpado constituye un modelo útil para estudiar el desarrollo epitelial, ya que requiere de la regulación coordinada de la proliferación de queratinocitos, la apoptosis y la migración. Hemos analizado este proceso biológico en embriones GR-/ - durante la ontogenia. Nuestros datos demuestran que la deficiencia de GR en el cierre de los párpados da como resultado un proceso de cierre anómalo y retrasado, como se ilustra por el aumento de la proliferación de queratinocitos y la apoptosis, junto con una alteración de la diferenciación en las células epiteliales de los párpados GR-/ -. Estos defectos se deben, al menos en parte, a la falta de antagonismo entre la vía de señalización de GR y el factor de crecimiento epidérmico (EGFR), causando la activación sostenida de la vía de MAPK/AP-1 y la regulación al alza de la queratina K6 en la etapa embrionaria E18.5 . Además, se demuestra que GR regula la migración de células epiteliales in vitro al interferir con la señalización mediada por EGFR. En general, el antagonismo GR / EGFR aparece como un importante mecanismo que regula el desarrollo del epitelio ocular.
La cicatrización cutánea es un proceso complejo de comienza después de una lesión, orientado a reparar el daño a los tejidos y restaurar la homeostasis de la piel. Hay tres fases en este proceso que requieran una interacción coordinada entre los diversos tipos celulares con una cinética precisa: la inflamación, la re-epitelización y remodelación tisular. Es bien sabido que el tratamiento con glucocorticoides (GC) produce un retraso en la cicatrización de heridas, que es uno de los efectos secundarios adversos más comunes asociados al uso terapéutico GC.
Hemos evaluado la contribución específica del receptor GC (GR) en la cicatrización de heridas con ratones que sobre-expresan constitutiva GR WT o una forma mutante de GR defectivo en transactivación (transgénicos K5-GR y K5-GR-TR). Este enfoque nos permite comparar in vivo los mecanismos de acción GR, tanto dependientes de unión a DNA como independientes de unión a DNA. Las heridas K5-GR cicatrizan más lentamente que el WT según la evaluación de la cinética de cierre de la herida en días (d) 4 y 8 después de la lesión, que muestra una reducción del reclutamiento de granulocitos / macrófagos, así como la disminución de expresión de TNF-a e IL-6. Los niveles de mRNA de IL-1 B, KGF y TGF-B1 fueron reprimidos por GR, mientras que TGF-B3 fue reguladas al alza. La tasa de re-epitelización, determinada por la proliferación de queratinocitos y la migración, se redujo en las heridas K5-GR en relación con WT, junto con un deterioro de la formación de tejido de granulación. En contraste, los ratones K5-GR-TR mostraron retraso en la cicatrización en d4, pero re-establecen la herida de la piel en d8…

▼ Community
associated–methicillin resistant
Staphylococcus aureus (CA–MRSA) infection
has become a major health concern. In human epidermal
keratinocytes, S. aureus is mainly
recognized through toll–like receptor 2 (TLR2) and its
co–receptor, CD14. We hypothesize that CA–MRSA
isolates cause recurrent infections by interrupting
TLR2–mediated inflammation in keratinocytes. Recurrent
CA–MRSA bacterial culture supernatant exposure to
keratinocytes in vitro resulted in
significant decreases in pro and anti–inflammatory
cytokine and HMGB1 secretion from keratinocytes as assessed by
ELISAs. Recurrent CA–MRSA live infection did not result
in significant changes in cytokine or HMGB1 secretion, surface
receptor expression, or NFκB activation post infection as
assessed by ELISA or Western blot respectively. We conclude that
under our experimental conditions, recurrent CA–MRSA
isolates do not suppress TLR2–mediated inflammation in
keratinocytes by means of cell surface virulence factors. More
likely, secreted factors from CA–MRSA isolates mediate
this effect, perhaps by interrupting TLR2 signaling and pathogen
recognition by the host immune
system.

▼ Objectives: Periodontal disease is a chronic inflammation resulting in periodontal attachment loss. Keratinocyte Growth Factor-1 (KGF-1) is upregulated in chronic inflammation and specifically stimulates epithelial cell proliferation by signaling through the epithelial-specific Keratinocyte Growth Factor Receptor (KGFR). First, we examined KGF-1 and KGFR expression and localization in human periodontal tissues. Second, we extended these studies by developing an in vitro mechanical wound model to mimic trauma to the periodontal pocket epithelium and examined ligand independent KGFR activation and cell migration.
Methods: In our study of human gingival tissues, we used immunohistochemistry and laser capture microdissection with RT-PCR to analyze KGF-1 and KGFR expression and localization. To study ligand independent KGFR phosphorylation, KGFR internalization along the wound edge was imaged using immunohistochemical staining and KGFR phosphorylation confirmed using immunoprecipitation with western blotting. Wounding induced oxidative stress was detected using DCFH-DA (2',7'-dichlorofluorescin diacetate) and modulated by pretreatment with an antioxidant. Changes in migration were examined in the presence or absence of pathway specific inhibitors.
Results: KGF-1 protein localized to areas of junctional and basal oral epithelial cells was significantly increased in periodontal pocket epithelium (p<0.01) and oral epithelium (p<0.05) of disease-associated tissues. KGFR localized to the junctional and the parabasal cells of oral epithelium, and was increased in disease-associated pocket epithelium (p<0.05). Laser capture microdissection with RT-PCR confirmedKGF-1 and KGFR were specifically expressed by connective tissue and epithelium, respectively. In our cell culture model, mechanical wounding induced ligand independent KGFR activation. ROS (Reactive Oxygen Species) generation along the wound edge was associated with KGFR activation and scavenging of ROS reduced KGFR phosphorylation. The c-Src family inhibitor, PP1, significantly inhibited KGFR phosphorylation. Functionally cell migration was reduced by PP1 (82.7%), SU5402(70%) and PD98059 (57%).
Conclusions: KGF-1 and KGFR proteins are expressed in health but significantly induced in human diseased periodontal tissues. Microwounding associated generation of ROS mediates KGFR phosphorylation via c-Src kinase signaling and induced wound edge cell migration. Therefore, regulation of epithelial cell behavior associated with the onset and progression of periodontal disease may possibly be mediated by two related but distinct mechanisms. (1) Ligand-dependent activation of KGFR due to upregulation of KGF-1. (2) Ligand-independent activation of KGFR due to chronic microwounding.

▼ Tazarotene-induced gene 3 (TIG3) is a novel regulatory
protein expressed in the human epidermis. TIG3 expression in
keratinocytes results in a decrease in both proliferation and cell
viability. The mortality following TIG3 expression occurs in the
absence of the activation of apoptosis associated caspases.
Keratinocytes expressing TIG3 display striking morphologic changes.
The changes in morphology are consistent with insoluble cell ghost
formation, or a differentiation-like state, and are associated with
an increase in transglutaminase type 1 (TG1) activation.
Microscopic localization and isopeptide crosslinking studies reveal
a colocalization between TIG3 and TG1 in the particulate phase of
keratinocytes. Immunoprecipitation reveals that TIG3 and TG1 are
present within a similar protein complex. Inhibition of
TIG3-induced TG activity with the small molecule competitive
substrate, monodansylcadaverine (MDC), demonstrates that the loss
in cell viability, morphologic changes, and crosslinking are
transglutaminase dependent. A truncated form of TIG3, which lacks
the C-terminal hydrophobic domain, is biologically inactive. This
truncated TIG3 does not properly localize, indicating a role for
the hyprophobic domain, in particulate phase association. In
addition, TIG3 can serve as a substrate for active
transglutaminases, as demonstrated by the covalent attachment of
the transglutaminase substrate biotin-x-cadaverine to TIG3. The
TIG3-induced TG1 activity occurs in the absence of elevated
extracellular calcium levels, indicating an altered calcium
requirement in TG1 activation. The studies presented here suggest
that TIG3 may act to facilitate
keratinocyte differentiation
through the activation of transglutaminase type 1.

▼ The hypothesis for this research was: Herpes simplex
virus type 1 (HSV-1) infection of murine
keratinocyte cell lines
(HEL-30 and PAM-212) treated with mitotic inhibitors leads to
silencing of virus replication. At 0.1 (Multiplicity of infection)
MOI, PAM-212 keratinocytes showed some cell lysis and viral plaques
were seen in HEL-30
keratinocyte cultures. PAM-212 keratinocytes,
infected at 0.01 MOI, were more susceptible to the lytic effect of
HSV-1 than were HEL-30 cells.In this study,
5-fluoro-2'-deoxyuridine (FUDR) treatment of both
keratinocyte cell
lines permitted an increase survival of HSV-1- infected
keratinocytes especially for PAM-212 cell line which was further
examined for the presence of sequestered virus after treatment with
FUDR and infection with HSV-1. In this post-mitotic state,
HSV-1-infected keratinocytes appeared to contain latent virus as
suggested by the lack of virus plaques or cytopathic effect (CPE).
After infection, these cells were examined for the presence of
replicating HSV-1 in Vero cell overlays. Virus plaques were found,
suggesting that latency may have been established.

▼ Epidermal keratinocytes, the predominant cell type in
the epidermis, play a crucial role in two processes in the skin:
skin carcinogenesis and cutaneous wound healing. Non-melanoma skin
cancer (NMSC) is the most prevalent type of cancer, with 3.5
million cases diagnosed each year in the US. These cancers,
including basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma
(SCC) are primarily caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light
from the sun. Wound healing is a key process in many aspects of
medicine. In addition to injury and trauma, millions of surgeries
are performed each year. Chronic wounds, which do not heal
properly, can lead to hospitalizations, amputations, death and
affect 6.5 million patients every year at an estimated cost of $12
billion dollars. Therefore, it is critical to understand how
keratinocytes function in both of these processes.Angiogenesis, the
growth and expansion of new blood vessels, occurs during both NMSC
and wound healing. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)
promotes angiogenesis by causing the proliferation, migration and
survival of vascular endothelial cells. VEGF is produced by the
skin in response to UV and promotes NMSC indirectly through the
induction of angiogenesis. Additionally, wounds contain high levels
of VEGF. VEGF receptor 1 (VEGFR-1) has now been identified on
epidermal keratinocytes, suggesting that VEGF can affect
keratinocytes directly. Therefore, we hypothesize that VEGF may
influence wound healing and skin carcinogenesis by directly
affecting keratinocytes via VEGFR-1. To test this, a unique
conditional knockout mouse with VEGFR-1-deficient keratinocytes
(cKO) was developed and was utilized in acute and chronic
UV-induced skin carcinogenesis studies as well as wound healing
studies. Immunohistochemical analysis of human and murine NMSC
samples revealed that VEGFR-1 is highly expressed in skin tumors.
Furthermore, in vitro studies indicated that
keratinocyte VEGF and
VEGFR-1 expression is regulated by UV light. To examine the direct
effects of VEGF on keratinocytes in skin carcinogenesis, cKO and
control mice were exposed to acute and long term UV radiation.
Keratinocytes in the epidermis of cKO mice showed a significant
increase in apoptosis 24 hours following a single UV exposure
compared to controls, suggesting that VEGF may function as a
survival factor in UV-irradiated keratinocytes. Additionally,
macrophage recruitment to UV damaged skin was reduced in cKO mice.
Long term UV-induced skin carcinogenesis studies are ongoing and
suggest that cKO mice are resistant to UV-induced skin
carcinogenesis compared to controls. To examine the direct role of
VEGF on keratinocytes in wound repair, excisional wounds were
inflicted on cKO and control mice. A significant delay in
reepithelialization was observed in cKO mice compared to controls 5
days after wounding. These results suggest that VEGF can stimulate
epidermal keratinocytes directly to promote reepithelialization.
Similar to acute UV studies, a significant decrease in the number
of macrophages was observed…

▼ Papillomaviruses (PV) are small non-enveloped double-stranded DNA tumour viruses, which are able to infect more than 80 different host species. They are a diverse group with over 400 types discovered, of which almost half infect humans. Human papillomaviruses have been linked to a myriad of diseases, including multiple cancers, recurrent respiratory papillomatosis, and genital warts. The disease burden of HPV-related conditions is severe, and there is currently no treatment that can guarantee eradication of viral infection. All PV types characterised so far have a similar genomic structure, and contain the so called 'core ORFs' – E1, E2, L1 and L2 which are essential for viral genome replication and packaging into infectious virions. PV evolution and diversification appears to have been impacted by the availability of certain epithelial niches, with co-evolution and niche adaptation allowing PVs to develop a remarkable species and tissue specificity. Consequently, the function of the PV early proteins can vary between different PV species and types, but as a group they share important organisational similarities that reflect their common requirement to infect and persist in the epithelium following infection. This has allowed the use of animal models to gain insight into the basic virus/host interactions that are targeted by this group of viruses as a whole. The mechanisms by which HPV establishes a lesion, particularly in low-risk types, are not fully understood. However, the recently identified mouse model of PV infection is a useful biological tool to study this period of PV infection in vivo. This body of work aims to expand current knowledge of early events in the PV life cycle. To further understand the mechanisms of cell persistence during PV infection, immunodeficient mouse tail samples inoculated with MmuPV1 were examined to investigate early lesion formation. Five discrete stages of lesion formation were characterised in the immunodeficient animals. In parallel studies, microlesions were rarely observed in immunocompetent C57BL/6J mice, reaching stage three of lesion formation. In-depth tissue analysis suggested a modulation of basal cell density in infected epithelium, and a delay in normal differentiation commitment in E6/E7 expressing cells. Whole genome cell culture experiments were attempted in parallel with human high-risk types, which showed a post-confluent effect of high concentration EGF on cell growth and genome copy number in cells containing HPV16 genomes. A role for MmuPV1 E6 in growth of cell populations to significantly higher densities was shown through experimentation with cells exogenously expressing viral proteins. Differentiation was also delayed in the cells expressing MmuPV1 E6, demonstrating a recapitulation of events characterised in in vivo infections. Novel use of fluorescent cell lines in tandem with confocal microscopy allowed innovative analysis of a high-density monolayer cell culture model. These experiments revealed that MmuPV1 E6 expression resulted in preferential…

▼ Each papillomavirus is species specific and replicates persistently in a specific type of cutaneous or mucosal epithelium. The keratinocytes of the basal layer of the epithelium harbor a reservoir of replicating viral genomes. The processes of the HPV life cycle depend on elements in the viral genome that are regulated by host cell specific factors and therefore, ideally, analyses of viral transcription and replication should be carried out in primary keratinocytes. However, these studies are limited by the current cell culture and transfection methods. Improvements in the transfection and culture of keratinocytes will enable more sensitive, accurate and earlier analyses of viral replication and transcription. To test this we developed an optimized
keratinocyte culture system using a Rho-Kinase (ROCK) inhibitor, Y-27632, that greatly improved the growth rate of primary keratinocytes and immortalized these cells. Further analysis revealed that the immortalized keratinocytes appeared to retain important characteristic of primary keratinocytes important for HPV research. Transient HPV replication analysis was enhanced in Y-27632-treated keratinocytes, presumably due to improved transfection efficiency and survival of transfected cells. Thus, improvements in primary cell culture and survival after transfection vastly improve the study of the establishment of HPV gene expression and replication. This allowed us to develop a complementation assay to study elements important for viral DNA replication. Using the complementation assay and the Y-27632 treated cells we were able to confirm the significance of the three E2 binding sites most proximal to the E6 promoter for transient replication. Finally, we designed immortalization assays using complete HPV genomes with targeted mutations to confirm that the information amassed from reporter assays holds up in more physiologically relevant systems. We were able to demonstrate that the TATA box, the Sp1 site, and the Ap1 site proximal to the E6 promoter, but not the distal Ap1 site, were dispensable for E6 and E7 expression. Collectively, these studies shed light on the significance of previously identified regulatory elements in the HPV life cycle as well as offer new strategies for future HPV life cycle studies.

▼ Linear dilution is a method to create linearly varying concentrations of a solution. Linear dilutions are commonly used in biological studies where the threshold concentration at which a physiological reaction occurs is unknown, whether it be a minimum effective or a maximum tolerable dosage. In this dissertation we present a summary of the approaches used for creating dilutions with microfluidics followed by a detailed methodology for constructing a proportional mixing linear dilution microfluidic device. The microfluidic device presented here is made with a rapid and inexpensive microfabrication method, soft lithography. The device is capable of generating nine linearly varying dilution values with an R-squared value exceeding 0.999 and the linearity of the dilutions is independent of the input flowrate, making it a very robust approach to creating linear dilutions. With the model presented the device can be expanded to an arbitrary number of dilutions with commensurate savings in reagent usage and time.
Human epidermal keratinocytes (HEK) are skin cells of primary importance in maintaining the body’s defensive barrier and are used in vitro to assess the irritation potential and toxicity of chemical compounds. Microfluidic systems hold promise for high throughput irritant and toxicity assays, but HEK growth kinetics have yet to be characterized within microscale culture chambers. This research demonstrates HEK patterning on microscale patches of Type I collagen within microfluidic channels and maintenance of these cells under constant medium perfusion for 72 h. HEK were shown to maintain 93.0% - 99.6% viability at 72 h under medium perfusion ranging from 0.025 – 0.4 microliters per minute. HEK maintained this viability while ~100% confluent a level not possible in 96 well plates. Microscale HEK cultures offer the ability to precisely examine the morphology, behavior and viability of individual cells which may open the door to new discoveries in toxicological screening methods and wound healing techniques.
A microfabricated cell curtain is presented that facilitates cellular assays. The cell curtain is defined as a poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) wall that extends from the ceiling of a cell culture microchamber to within microns of the chamber floor. Curtain use is demonstrated by observing monolayer human epidermal
keratinocyte (HEK) colonies for 48 hrs longer than possible with non-curtained microfluidic chambers. The curtains were further characterized by integrating them into a 96-chamber high-throughput microfluidic cell culture device. As proof of concept, this device was used to assay a range of ethanol dilutions spanning 0 – 22% in cell culture medium. Cells exposed to 12% ethanol or less for 30 min would recover to 85% viability at 24 hr, while cells exposed to higher concentrations had viabilities below 10%. The data also showed that cells exposed to 6% ethanol or less grew in population size, 8% ethanol exposure stunted growth, and higher concentrations led to population loss.…

▼ Un réseau de cytokine complexe a été décrit dans le psoriasis mettant en évidence le rôle central des cytokines proinflammatoires dans la physiopathologie de cette maladie. Notre tentative de modéliser l'inflammation cutanée a montré que la combinaison de l'IL-17A, IL-22, IL-1α, oncostatine M (OSM) et le TNFα, augmente de manière synergique l'expression de chimiokines et de peptides antimicrobiens, reflétant certaines caractéristiques du psoriasis. D'autres caractéristiques de cette maladie sont l'acanthose et le blocage de la différenciation des kératinocytes. Notre premier objectif était d'étudier le rôle respectif de ces cytokines sur la différenciation des kératinocytes en comparaison avec les lésions de patients psoriasiques. Toutes ces cytokines inhibent l'expression des marqueurs de différentiation des kératinocytes, parmi lesquelles l’IL-22 et l’OSM sont les plus puissantes et le mélange M5 présente des effets synergiques. Si l'IL-22 et l'OSM déclenchent plus spécifiquement l'hyperplasie épidermique et le blocage de la différenciation, l’IL-1α, IL-17A et le TNFα sont plutôt impliqués dans l'activation de l'immunité innée. Le rôle fonctionnel de chacune de ces cytokines in vivo a été étudié dans un modèle d'inflammation cutanée de type psoriasique induit par l'imiquimod (IMQ), un agoniste TLR7, en utilisant des souris déficientes en cytokines. L'absence de l'OSM ou de l'OSMRβ n'a pas modifié le développement des lésions inflammatoires induites par l’IMQ. Une hypothèse est que d'autres cytokines peuvent avoir des effets redondants avec l'OSM. L'absence de l'IL-22 chez la souris diminue partiellement les lésions cutanées induites par l'IMQ, démontrant que son retrait du réseau cytokinique rompt une partie des effets synergiques des cytokines in vivo comme présenté dans le modèle M5. L'absence de l'IL-1α ou de l'IL-1β ne modifie pas l'inflammation cutanée induite par l'IMQ, ce qui n'est pas surprenant au vu des activités redondantes de ces deux cytokines. La diminution partielle de l'inflammation en absence d'IL-1α ET d'IL-1β OU de la chaine réceptrice commune IL-1RI confirme ces observations. A long terme ces études devraient permettre de proposer des stratégies anti-cytokine ciblées et combinées pour tenter de rompre la synergie et diminuer ainsi toutes les composantes de la réponse inflammatoire cutanée.
A complex cytokine network has been described in psoriasis and highlighted a central role of proinflammatory cytokines produced by infiltrated immune cells. Our attempt to model skin inflammation showed that the combination of IL-17A, IL-22, IL-1α, OSM and TNFα (Mix M5) synergistically increases chemokines and antimicrobial-peptides expression, recapitulating some features of psoriasis. Other characteristics of psoriasis are acanthosis and down-regulation of keratinocyte differentiation markers. Our aim was to characterize the specific roles of these cytokines on keratinocyte differentiation, and to compare with psoriatic lesion features. All cytokines decrease keratinocytes differentiation markers…
