  • Protein kinase C-dependent upregulation of miR-203 induces the differentiation of human keratinocytes
  • 2010

    • Terminal differentiation of keratinocytes is a multistep process that requires a coordinated program of gene expression. We aimed to explore the possible involvement of a previously unreported class of non-coding RNA genes, microRNAs (miRNAs) in keratinocyte differentiation by using miRNA expression profiling. Out of 365 miRNAs tested, 7 showed significant change between keratinocytes cultured in low or high calcium concentration. The highest-ranked upregulated gene was miR-203, whose expression was significantly upregulated in response to calcium and other inducers of keratinocyte differentiation such as 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) and vitamin D(3). Differentiation-induced upregulation of miR-203 expression was blocked by treatment with specific inhibitors of protein kinase C (PKC), GF109203X, and Ro31-8220. Moreover, our results showed that the activator protein-1 (AP-1) proteins c-Jun and JunB regulate miR-203 expression in keratinocytes. In contrast to inducers of keratinocyte differentiation, epidermal growth factor and keratinocyte growth factor suppressed miR-203 expression in keratinocytes below the basal level. Overexpression of miR-203 in keratinocytes resulted in enhanced differentiation, whereas inhibition of miR-203 suppressed calcium-induced terminal differentiation as judged by involucrin expression. These results suggest that upregulation of miR-203 in human keratinocytes is required for their differentiation and is dependent on the activation of the PKC/AP-1 pathway.

  • 2018

    • Tofacitinib is a Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor, which has shown efficacy in treating psoriasis. The mode of action of tofacitinib is not completely understood but it has been thought to be mediated by the inhibition of CD4+ T-cell activation. Here, we investigated whether the molecular targets of tofacitinib are expressed in keratinocytes, and whether tofacitinib can modulate the activity of the JAK/Signal Transducer and Activators of Transcription (STAT)-pathway in keratinocytes. Transcriptomic profiling of human keratinocytes treated with IL-22 in combination with tofacitinib revealed that tofacitinib could prevent the majority of IL-22-mediated gene expression changes. Pathway analysis of tofacitinib-regulated genes in keratinocytes revealed enrichment of genes involved in the JAK/STAT signalling pathway. Quantitative real-time-PCR confirmed the upregulation of S100A7 and downregulation of EGR1 expression by IL-22, which was prevented by tofacitinib pre-treatment. These results indicate a direct effect of tofacinitib on keratinocytes, which can have relevance for systemic as well as for topical treatment of psoriasis with tofacitinib.

  • RNA editing of the GLI1 transcription factor modulates the output of Hedgehog signaling.
  • 2013
  • Ingår i: RNA Biology. - : Informa UK Limited. - 1547-6286 .- 1555-8584. ; 10:2, s. 321-33

    • The Hedgehog (HH) signaling pathway has important roles in tumorigenesis and in embryonal patterning. The Glioma-associated oncogene 1 (GLI1) is a key molecule in HH signaling, acting as a transcriptional effector and, moreover, is considered to be a potential therapeutic target for several types of cancer. To extend our previous focus on the implications of alternative splicing for HH signal transduction, we now report on an additional post-transcriptional mechanism with an impact on GLI1 activity, namely RNA editing. The GLI1 mRNA is highly edited at nucleotide 2179 by adenosine deamination in normal cerebellum, but the extent of this modification is reduced in cell lines from the cerebellar tumor medulloblastoma. Additionally, basal cell carcinoma tumor samples exhibit decreased GLI1 editing compared with normal skin. Interestingly, knocking down of either ADAR1 or ADAR2 reduces RNA editing of GLI1. This adenosine to inosine substitution leads to a change from Arginine to Glycine at position 701 that influences not only GLI1 transcriptional activity, but also GLI1-dependent cellular proliferation. Specifically, the edited GLI1, GLI1-701G, has a higher capacity to activate most of the transcriptional targets tested and is less susceptible to inhibition by the negative regulator of HH signaling suppressor of fused. However, the Dyrk1a kinase, implicated in cellular proliferation, is more effective in increasing the transcriptional activity of the non-edited GLI1. Finally, introduction of GLI1-701G into medulloblastoma cells confers a smaller increase in cellular growth relative to GLI1. In conclusion, our findings indicate that RNA editing of GLI1 is a regulatory mechanism that modulates the output of the HH signaling pathway.

  • The human antimicrobial peptide LL-37 suppresses apoptosis in keratinocytes.
  • 2009
  • Ingår i: Journal of Investigative Dermatology. - : Elsevier BV. - 0022-202X .- 1523-1747. ; 129:4, s. 937-44

    • The human cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide LL-37 is involved in various aspects of skin biology, including protection against infection, wound healing, and also in psoriasis. The tight regulation of apoptosis is critical in tissue repair and its deregulation is a part of the psoriasis phenotype. Despite being involved in cell death of several cell types, virtually nothing is known about the function of LL-37 in keratinocyte apoptosis. Here we report that LL-37 peptide protects primary human keratinocytes and HaCaT cells from apoptosis induced by the topoisomerase I inhibitor camptothecin (CAM). In particular, pretreatment with LL-37 significantly decreased caspase-3 activity after CAM-treatment. Expression profiling of keratinocytes treated with LL-37 identified the upregulation of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression, a gene implicated in protection from apoptosis. In addition to inducing COX-2 expression, LL-37 stimulated the production of its product, prostaglandin E-2 (PGE-2). Moreover, LL-37 induced the expression of inhibitor of apoptosis-2 (IAP-2), implicated in the COX-2/PGE-2 antiapoptotic pathway. Pretreatment with a selective COX-2 inhibitor abolished the antiapoptotic effect of LL-37 and reduced IAP-2 expression implicating that the antiapoptotic effect of LL-37 in keratinocytes is mediated by a COX-2-dependent mechanism involving IAP-2. Thus, overexpression of LL-37 may contribute to reduced keratinocyte apoptosis in conditions such as psoriasis.

  • MicroRNA-132 enhances transition from inflammation to proliferation during wound healing.
  • 2015
  • Ingår i: Journal of Clinical Investigation. - 0021-9738 .- 1558-8238. ; 125:8, s. 3008-26

    • Wound healing is a complex process that is characterized by an initial inflammatory phase followed by a proliferative phase. This transition is a critical regulatory point; however, the factors that mediate this process are not fully understood. Here, we evaluated microRNAs (miRs) in skin wound healing and characterized the dynamic change of the miRNome in human skin wounds. miR-132 was highly upregulated during the inflammatory phase of wound repair, predominantly expressed in epidermal keratinocytes, and peaked in the subsequent proliferative phase. TGF-β1 and TGF-β2 induced miR-132 expression in keratinocytes, and transcriptome analysis of these cells revealed that miR-132 regulates a large number of immune response- and cell cycle-related genes. In keratinocytes, miR-132 decreased the production of chemokines and the capability to attract leukocytes by suppressing the NF-κB pathway. Conversely, miR-132 increased activity of the STAT3 and ERK pathways, thereby promoting keratinocyte growth. Silencing of the miR-132 target heparin-binding EGF-like growth factor (HB-EGF) phenocopied miR-132 overexpression in keratinocytes. Using mouse and human ex vivo wound models, we found that miR-132 blockade delayed healing, which was accompanied by severe inflammation and deficient keratinocyte proliferation. Together, our results indicate that miR-132 is a critical regulator of skin wound healing that facilitates the transition from the inflammatory to the proliferative phase.

  • MicroRNA-31 Promotes Skin Wound Healing by Enhancing Keratinocyte Proliferation and Migration.
  • 2015
  • Ingår i: Journal of Investigative Dermatology. - : Elsevier BV. - 0022-202X .- 1523-1747. ; 135:6, s. 1676-1685

    • Wound healing is a basic biological process restoring the integrity of the skin. The role of microRNAs during this process remains largely unexplored. By using an in vivo human skin wound healing model, we show here that the expression of miR-31 is gradually upregulated in wound edge keratinocytes in the inflammatory (1 day after injury) through the proliferative phase (7 days after injury) in comparison with intact skin. In human primary keratinocytes, overexpression of miR-31 promoted cell proliferation and migration, whereas inhibition of miR-31 had the opposite effects. Moreover, we identified epithelial membrane protein 1 (EMP-1) as a direct target of miR-31 in keratinocytes. The expression of EMP-1 in the skin was negatively correlated with the level of miR-31 during wound healing. Silencing of EMP-1 mimicked the effects of overexpression of miR-31 on keratinocyte proliferation and migration, indicating that EMP-1 is a critical target mediating the functions of miR-31 in keratinocytes. Finally, we demonstrated that transforming growth factor-β2, which is highly expressed in skin wounds, upregulated miR-31 expression in keratinocytes. Collectively, we identify miR-31 as a key regulator for promoting keratinocyte proliferation and migration during wound healing.

  • miR-19a/b and miR-20a promote wound healing by regulating the inflammatory response of keratinocytes
  • 2021
  • Ingår i: Journal of Investigative Dermatology. - : Elsevier. - 0022-202X .- 1523-1747. ; 141:3, s. 659-671

    • Persistent and impaired inflammation impedes tissue healing and is characteristic of chronic wounds. A better understanding of the mechanisms controlling wound inflammation is needed. Here we show that in human wound-edge keratinocytes, the expression of miR-17, miR-18a, miR-19a, miR-19b, and miR-20a, which all belong to the miR-17∼92 cluster, is upregulated during wound repair. However, their levels are lower in chronic ulcers than acute wounds at the proliferative phase. Conditional knockout of miR-17∼92 in keratinocytes as well as injection of miR-19a/b and miR-20a antisense inhibitors into wound-edges enhanced inflammation and delayed wound closure in mice. In contrast, conditional overexpression of the miR-17∼92 cluster or miR-19b alone in mice keratinocytes accelerated wound closure in vivo. Mechanistically, miR-19a/b and miR-20a decreased TLR3-mediated NF-κB activation by targeting SHCBP1 and SEMA7A, respectively, reducing the production of inflammatory chemokines/cytokines by keratinocytes. Thus, as crucial regulators of wound inflammation, lack of miR-19a/b and miR-20a may contribute to sustained inflammation and impaired healing in chronic wounds. In line with this, we show that a combinatory treatment with miR-19b and miR-20a improved wound healing in a mouse model of type 2 diabetes.

  • Activation of toll-like receptors alters the microRNA expression profile of keratinocytes.
  • 2014
  • Ingår i: Experimental dermatology. - : Wiley. - 0906-6705 .- 1600-0625. ; 23:4, s. 281-3

    • Keratinocytes recognize invading pathogens by various receptors, among them Toll-like receptors (TLRs), and provide the first line of defense in skin immunity. The role of microRNAs in this important defense mechanism has not been explored yet. Our aim was to identify microRNAs involved in the innate immune response of keratinocytes. MicroRNA expression profiling revealed that the TLR2 ligand zymosan, the TLR3 ligand poly(I:C) or the TLR5 ligand flagellin significantly altered the microRNA expression in keratinocytes. The regulation of microRNAs was concentration-dependent and it could be neutralized by siRNAs specific for TLR2, TLR3 and TLR5, respectively, confirming the specificity of the TLR response. Interestingly, one microRNA, miR-146a, was strongly induced by all studied TLR ligands, while other microRNAs were regulated in a TLR- or time point-specific manner. These findings suggest an important role for microRNAs in the innate immune response of keratinocytes and provide a basis for further investigations.

  • MiR-146a negatively regulates TLR2-induced inflammatory responses in keratinocytes.
  • 2014
  • Ingår i: Journal of Investigative Dermatology. - : Elsevier BV. - 0022-202X .- 1523-1747. ; 134:7, s. 1931-1940

    • Keratinocytes represent the first line of defense against pathogens in the skin and have important roles in initiating and regulating inflammation during infection and autoimmunity. Here we investigated the role of miR-146a in the regulation of the innate immune response of keratinocytes. Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) stimulation of primary human keratinocytes resulted in an NF-κB- and mitogen-activated protein kinase-dependent upregulation of miR-146a expression, which was surprisingly long lasting, contrasting with the rapid and transient induction of inflammatory mediators. Overexpression of miR-146a significantly suppressed the production of IL-8, CCL20, and tumor necrosis factor-α, which functionally suppressed the chemotactic attraction of neutrophils by keratinocytes. Inhibition of endogenous miR-146a induced the production of inflammatory mediators even in nonstimulated keratinocytes, and potentiated the effect of TLR2 stimulation. Transcriptomic profiling revealed that miR-146a suppresses the expression of a large number of immune-related genes in keratinocytes. MiR-146a downregulated interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase 1 and TNF receptor-associated factor 6, two key adapter molecules downstream of TLR signaling, and suppressed NF-κB promoter-binding activity as shown by promoter luciferase experiments. Together, these data identify miR-146a as a regulatory element in keratinocyte innate immunity, which prevents the production of inflammatory mediators under homeostatic conditions and serves as a potent negative feedback regulator after TLR2 stimulation.

  • MiR-21 is up-regulated in psoriasis and suppresses T cell apoptosis.
  • 2012
  • Ingår i: Experimental dermatology. - : Wiley. - 0906-6705 .- 1600-0625. ; 21:4, s. 312-4

    • MicroRNAs are short non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression. Previously, in a genome-wide screen, we found deregulation of microRNA expression in psoriasis skin. MicroRNA-21 (miR-21) is one of the microRNAs significantly up-regulated in psoriasis skin lesions. To identify the cell type responsible for the increased miR-21 level, we compared expression of miR-21 in epidermal cells and dermal T cells between psoriasis and healthy skin and found elevated levels of miR-21 in psoriasis in both cell types. In cultured T cells, expression of miR-21 increased markedly upon activation. To explore the function of miR-21 in primary human T helper cells, we inhibited miR-21 using a tiny seed-targeting LNA-anti-miR. Specific inhibition of miR-21 increased the apoptosis rate of activated T cells. Our results suggest that miR-21 suppresses apoptosis in activated T cells, and thus, overexpression of miR-21 may contribute to T cell-derived psoriatic skin inflammation.
