    Abstract Fragmentation, disorganization, and depletion of the collagen-rich dermal extracellular matrix are hallmarks of aged human skin. These deleterious alterations are thought to critically mediate many of the prominent clinical attributes of aged skin, including thinning, fragility, impaired wound healing, and a propensity for carcinoma. Matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP1) initiates the cleavage of collagen fibrils and is significantly increased in dermal fibroblasts in aged human skin. To investigate the role of elevated MMP1 in skin aging, we generated a conditional bitransgenic mouse (type I collagen alpha chain 2; human MMP1 [Col1a2;hMMP1]) that expresses full-length, catalytically active hMMP1 in dermal fibroblasts. hMMP1 expression is activated by a tamoxifen-inducible Cre recombinase that is driven by the Col1a2 promoter and upstream enhancer. Tamoxifen induced hMMP1 expression and activity throughout the dermis Col1a2:hMMP1 mice. At 6 months of age, Col1a2;hMMP1 mice displayed loss and fragmentation of dermal collagen fibrils, which was accompanied by many of the features of aged human skin, such as contracted fibroblast morphology, reduced collagen production, increased expression of multiple endogenous MMPs, and proinflammatory mediators. Interestingly, Col1a2;hMMP1 mice displayed substantially increased susceptibility to skin papilloma development. These data demonstrate that fibroblast expression of hMMP1 is a critical mediator of dermal aging and creates a dermal microenvironment that promotes keratinocyte tumor development.

    Abstract Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (ARSs) are ubiquitously expressed, essential enzymes that complete the first step of protein translation: ligation of amino acids to cognate tRNAs. Genes encoding ARSs have been implicated in myriad dominant and recessive phenotypes, the latter often affecting multiple tissues but with frequent involvement of the central and peripheral nervous system, liver, and lungs.

    Abstract Background: Hedgehog (HH) signaling is essential for homeostasis in gustatory fungiform papillae (FP) and taste buds. However, activities of HH antagonists in these tissues remain unexplored. We investigated a potential role for HH-interacting protein (HHIP), an endogenous pathway antagonist, in regulating HH signaling during taste organ homeostasis. We found a restricted pattern of Hhip-expressing cells in the anterior epithelium of each nongustatory filiform papilla (FILIF) only. To test for roles in antagonism of HH signaling, we investigated HHIP after pathway inhibition with SMO inhibition via sonidegib and Smo deletion, Gli2 deletion/suppression, or with chorda tympani/lingual nerve cut.
    Results: In all approaches, the HHIP expression pattern was retained in FILIF suggesting HH-independent regulation of HHIP. Remarkably, after pathway inhibition, HHIP expression was detected also in the conical, FILIF-like atypical FP. We found a close association of de novo expression of HHIP in atypical FP with loss of Gli1+, HH-responding cells. Further, we report that PTCH1 is another potential HH antagonist in FILIF that co-localizes with HHIP.
    Conclusions: After HH pathway inhibition the ectopic expression of HHIP correlates with a FILIF-like morphology in atypical FP and we propose that localized expression of the HH antagonist HHIP regulates pathway inhibition to maintain FILIF during tongue homeostasis.

    Abstract Sebaceous glands (SGs) release oils that protect our skin, but how these glands respond to injury has not been previously examined. Here, we report that SGs are largely self-renewed by dedicated stem cell pools during homeostasis. Using targeted single-cell RNA sequencing, we uncovered both direct and indirect paths by which resident SG progenitors ordinarily differentiate into sebocytes, including transit through a Krt5+PPARγ+ transitional basal cell state. Upon skin injury, however, SG progenitors depart their niche, reepithelialize the wound, and are replaced by hair-follicle-derived stem cells. Furthermore, following targeted genetic ablation of >99% of SGs from dorsal skin, these glands unexpectedly regenerate within weeks. This regenerative process is mediated by alternative stem cells originating from the hair follicle bulge, is dependent upon FGFR2 signaling, and can be accelerated by inducing hair growth. Altogether, our studies demonstrate that stem cell plasticity promotes SG durability following injury.

    Abstract HDAC inhibitors show therapeutic promise for skin malignancies; however, the roles of specific HDACs in adult epidermal homeostasis and in disease are poorly understood. We find that homozygous epidermal codeletion of Hdac1 and Hdac2 in adult mouse epidermis causes reduced basal cell proliferation, apoptosis, inappropriate differentiation, and eventual loss of Hdac1/2-null keratinocytes. Hdac1/2-deficient epidermis displays elevated acetylated p53 and increased expression of the senescence gene p16. Loss of p53 partially restores basal proliferation, whereas p16 deletion promotes long-term survival of Hdac1/2-null keratinocytes. In activated GLI2-driven pre-basal cell carcinoma, Hdac1/2 deletion dramatically reduces proliferation and increases apoptosis, and knockout of either p53 or p16 partially rescues both proliferation and basal cell viability. Topical application of the HDAC inhibitor romidepsin to the normal epidermis or to GLI2ΔN-driven lesions produces similar defects to those caused by genetic Hdac1/2 deletion, and these are partially rescued by loss of p16. These data reveal essential roles for HDAC1/2 in maintaining proliferation and survival of adult epidermal and basal cell carcinoma progenitors and suggest that the efficacy of therapeutic HDAC1/2 inhibition will depend in part on the mutational status of p53 and p16.

    Abstract Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a neuroendocrine tumor either induced by integration of the Merkel cell polyomavirus into the cell genome or by accumulation of UV-light-associated mutations (VP-MCC and UV-MCC). Whether VP- and UV-MCC have the same or different cellular origins is unclear; with mesenchymal or epidermal origins discussed. DNA-methylation patterns have a proven utility in determining cellular origins of cancers. Therefore, we used this approach to uncover evidence regarding the cell of origin of classical VP- and UV-MCC cell lines, i.e., cell lines with a neuroendocrine growth pattern (n = 9 and n = 4, respectively). Surprisingly, we observed high global similarities in the DNA-methylation of UV- and VP-MCC cell lines. CpGs of lower methylation in VP-MCC cell lines were associated with neuroendocrine marker genes such as SOX2 and INSM1, or linked to binding sites of EZH2 and SUZ12 of the polycomb repressive complex 2, i.e., genes with an impact on carcinogenesis and differentiation of neuroendocrine cancers. Thus, the observed differences appear to be rooted in viral compared to mutation-driven carcinogenesis rather than distinct cells of origin. To test this hypothesis, we used principal component analysis, to compare DNA-methylation data from different epithelial and non-epithelial neuroendocrine cancers and established a scoring model for epithelial and neuroendocrine characteristics. Subsequently, we applied this scoring model to the DNA-methylation data of the VP- and UV-MCC cell lines, revealing that both clearly scored as epithelial cancers. In summary, our comprehensive analysis of DNA-methylation suggests a common epithelial origin of UV- and VP-MCC cell lines.
