    Abstract The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) is an evolutionary conserved environmental sensor identified as indispensable regulator of epithelial homeostasis and barrier organ function. Molecular signaling cascade and target genes upon AHR activation and their contribution to cell and tissue function are however not fully understood. Multi-omics analyses using human skin keratinocytes revealed that, upon ligand activation, AHR binds open chromatin to induce expression of transcription factors (TFs), e.g., Transcription Factor AP-2α (TFAP2A), as a swift response to environmental stimuli. The terminal differentiation program including upregulation of barrier genes, filaggrin and keratins, was mediated by TFAP2A as a secondary response to AHR activation. The role of AHR-TFAP2A axis in controlling keratinocyte terminal differentiation for proper barrier formation was further confirmed using CRISPR/Cas9 in human epidermal equivalents. Overall, the study provides additional insights into the molecular mechanism behind AHR-mediated barrier function and identifies potential targets for the treatment of skin barrier diseases.

    Abstract Late cornified envelope (LCE) proteins are small cationic epidermal proteins with antimicrobial properties, and the combined deletion of LCE3B and LCE3C genes is a risk factor for psoriasis that affects skin microbiome composition. In a yeast two-hybrid screen, we identified CYSRT1 as an interacting partner of members of all LCE groups except LCE6. These interactions were confirmed in a mammalian cell system by coimmunoprecipitation. CYSRT1 is a protein of unknown function that is specifically expressed in cutaneous and oral epithelia and spatially colocalizes with LCE proteins in the upper layers of the suprabasal epidermis. Constitutive CYSRT1 expression is present in fully differentiated epidermis and can be further induced in vivo by disruption of the skin barrier upon stratum corneum removal. Transcriptional regulation correlates to keratinocyte terminal differentiation but not to skin bacteria exposure. Similar to LCEs, CYSRT1 was found to have antibacterial activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Comparative gene sequence analysis and protein amino acid alignment indicate that CYSRT1 is highly conserved among vertebrates and has putative antimicrobial activity. To summarize, we identified CYSRT1 in the outer skin layer, where it colocalizes with LCE proteins and contributes to the constitutive epidermal antimicrobial host defense repertoire.

    Abstract Background: Following descriptive studies on skin microbiota in health and disease, mechanistic studies on the interplay between skin and microbes are on the rise, for which experimental models are in great demand. Here, we present a novel methodology for microbial colonization of organotypic skin and analysis thereof.
    Results: An inoculation device ensured a standardized application area on the stratum corneum and a homogenous distribution of bacteria, while preventing infection of the basolateral culture medium even during prolonged culture periods for up to 2 weeks at a specific culture temperature and humidity. Hereby, host-microbe interactions and antibiotic interventions could be studied, revealing diverse host responses to various skin-related bacteria and pathogens.
    Conclusions: Our methodology is easily transferable to a wide variety of organotypic skin or mucosal models and different microbes at every cell culture facility at low costs. We envision that this study will kick-start skin microbiome studies using human organotypic skin cultures, providing a powerful alternative to experimental animal models in pre-clinical research.

    Abstract Ever since the association between FLG loss-of-function variants and ichthyosis vulgaris and atopic dermatitis disease onset was identified, FLGs function has been under investigation. Intraindividual genomic predisposition, immunological confounders, and environmental interactions complicate the comparison between FLG genotypes and related causal effects. Using CRISPR/Cas9, we generated human FLG-knockout (ΔFLG) N/TERT-2G keratinocytes. FLG deficiency was shown by immunohistochemistry of human epidermal equivalent cultures. Next to (partial) loss of structural proteins (involucrin, hornerin, keratin 2, and transglutaminase 1), the stratum corneum was denser and lacked the typical basket weave appearance. In addition, electrical impedance spectroscopy and transepidermal water loss analyses highlighted a compromised epidermal barrier in ΔFLG human epidermal equivalents. Correction of FLG reinstated the presence of keratohyalin granules in the stratum granulosum, FLG protein expression, and expression of the proteins mentioned earlier. The beneficial effects on stratum corneum formation were reflected by the normalization of electrical impedance spectroscopy and transepidermal water loss. This study shows the causal phenotypical and functional consequences of FLG deficiency, indicating that FLG is not only central in epidermal barrier function but also vital for epidermal differentiation by orchestrating the expression of other important epidermal proteins. These observations pave the way to fundamental investigations into the exact role of FLG in skin biology and disease.

    Abstract CRISPR-Cas9 is the most straightforward genome-editing tool to date. However, its implementation across disciplines is hampered by variable genome-editing efficiencies, reduced cell viability, and low success rates in obtaining clonal cell lines. This review aims to recognize all CRISPR-Cas9‒related work within the experimental dermatology field to identify key factors for successful strategies in the different keratinocyte (KC) cell sources available. On the basis of these findings, we conclude that most groups use immortalized KCs for generating knockout KCs. Our critical considerations for future studies using CRISPR-Cas9, both for fundamental and clinical applications, may guide implementation strategies of CRISPR-Cas9 technologies in the (experimental) dermatology field.
