    Porokeratosis is a clonal keratinization disorder characterized by solitary, linearly arranged, or generally distributed multiple skin lesions. Previous studies showed that genetic alterations in MVK, PMVK, MVD, or FDPS-genes in the mevalonate pathway-cause hereditary porokeratosis, with skin lesions harboring germline and lesion-specific somatic variants on opposite alleles. Here, we identified non-hereditary porokeratosis associated with epigenetic silencing of FDFT1, another gene in the mevalonate pathway. Skin lesions of the generalized form had germline and lesion-specific somatic variants on opposite alleles in FDFT1, representing FDFT1-associated hereditary porokeratosis identified in this study. Conversely, lesions of the solitary or linearly arranged localized form had somatic bi-allelic promoter hypermethylation or mono-allelic promoter hypermethylation with somatic genetic alterations on opposite alleles in FDFT1, indicating non-hereditary porokeratosis. FDFT1 localization was uniformly diminished within the lesions, and lesion-derived keratinocytes showed cholesterol dependence for cell growth and altered expression of genes related to cell-cycle and epidermal development, confirming that lesions form by clonal expansion of FDFT1-deficient keratinocytes. In some individuals with the localized form, gene-specific promoter hypermethylation of FDFT1 was detected in morphologically normal epidermis adjacent to methylation-related lesions but not distal to these lesions, suggesting that asymptomatic somatic epigenetic mosaicism of FDFT1 predisposes certain skin areas to the disease. Finally, consistent with its genetic etiology, topical statin treatment ameliorated lesions in FDFT1-deficient porokeratosis. In conclusion, we identified bi-allelic genetic and/or epigenetic alterations of FDFT1 as a cause of porokeratosis and shed light on the pathogenesis of skin mosaicism involving clonal expansion of epigenetically altered cells.

    The early and intermediate age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is characterized by the presence of drusen and pigmentary abnormalities in the retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells which form the outer blood retinal barrier (oBRB). Fluid leakage through the disrupted oBRB from the choroid to the neural retina has been implicated in the pathogenesis of AMD, however; the molecular mechanisms still remain unclear. The family of four transmembrane proteins, claudins are known to form tight junctions (TJs) in the oBRB. Nonetheless, there are few reports showing how they function in the oBRB in vivo. We found that claudin-1 is dominantly expressed in TJs of the mouse RPE. To investigate the role of claudin-1 in the RPE, we generated RPE-specific Cldn1 conditional knockout mice (Best1-Cre+/- Cldn1flox/flox mice: Cldn1 cKO mice). Deficiency of Cldn1 led to age-related lipid deposits such as subretinal drusenoid deposits (SDD), increased lipid droplets in the RPE, basal lamellar deposits (BlamD) and membranous debris in the Bruch's membrane. In addition, pigmentary abnormalities such as RPE hypertrophy, multilayered-RPE cells, and ectopic pigment granules outside the RPE were observed in Cldn1 cKO mice. Our study provides new insights into the possible association of the TJ protein claudin-1 with lipid metabolism and cellular ageing in the RPE contributing to the early onset of AMD.

    The epidermis, the keratinized stratified squamous epithelium surrounding the body surface, offers a valuable framework to investigate how terrestrial animals overcome environmental stresses. However, the mechanisms underlying epidermal barrier function remain nebulous. In this study, we examined genes highly expressed in the human and mouse upper epidermis, the outer frontier that induces various barrier-related genes. Transcriptome analysis revealed that the messenger RNA level of hemoglobin α (HBA), an oxygen carrier in erythroid cells, was enriched in the upper epidermis compared with that in the whole epidermis. Immunostaining analysis confirmed HBA protein expression in human and mouse keratinocytes (KCs) of the stratum spinosum and stratum granulosum. HBA was also expressed in hair follicle KCs in the isthmus region; its expression levels were more prominent than those in interfollicular KCs. HBA expression was not observed in noncutaneous keratinized stratified squamous epithelia of mice, for example, the vagina, esophagus, and forestomach. HBA expression was upregulated in human epidermal KC cultures after UV irradiation, a major cause of skin-specific oxidative stress. Furthermore, HBA knockdown increased UV-induced production of ROS in primary KCs. Our findings suggest that epidermal HBA expression is induced by oxidative stress and acts as an antioxidant, contributing to skin barrier function.

    A prenatal second-hit genetic change that occurs on the wild-type allele in an embryo with a congenital pathogenic variant allele results in mosaicism of monoallelic and biallelic defect of the gene, which is called superimposed mosaicism. Superimposed mosaicism of Hailey-Hailey disease (HHD) has been demonstrated in one familial case. Here, we report two unrelated HHD cases with superimposed mosaicism: a congenital monoallelic pathogenic variant of ATP2C1, followed by a postzygotic copy-neutral loss of heterozygosity. Uniquely, neither patient had a family history of HHD at the time of presentation. In the first case, the congenital pathogenic variant had occurred de novo. In the second case, the father had the pathogenic variant but had not yet developed skin symptoms. Our cases showed that superimposed mosaicism in HHD can lack a family history and that genetic analysis is crucial to classify the type of mosaicism and evaluate the risk of familial occurrence.

    Pemphigus and pemphigoid are autoimmune blistering diseases that affect mucosa and skin. Several clinical scoring systems, including the pemphigus disease area index (PDAI) and the bullous pemphigoid disease area index (BPDAI), have been validated for managing disease activity and severity. Current guidelines recommend that treatment response be evaluated with clinical scores and that additional second-line therapies be considered if initial treatment is insufficient for disease control. However, there have been few studies analyzing correlations between PDAI/BPDAI transitions and initial treatment effects. To investigate whether PDAI/BPDAI transitions during the treatment initiation phase correlate with initial treatment responses and whether such information can be used as a guide for necessary additional treatment, we retrospectively analyzed 67 pemphigus patients and 47 pemphigoid patients who received initial treatment at Keio University between 2012 and 2018. The clinical symptoms were evaluated weekly with PDAI/BPDAI. The patients were divided into two groups: in group A, disease was controlled only with oral corticosteroids and immunosuppressants (initial treatment), whereas in group B additional therapies were required due to insufficient responses. In pemphigus, the PDAI ratio of day 7/day 0 was significantly reduced in group A compared to group B (0.548 vs 0.761, P < 0.01) after initial treatment had started. In pemphigoid, the ratios of day 7/day 0 of BPDAI (erosion/blister) and BPDAI (urticaria/erythema) significantly decreased in group A compared to group B (0.565 vs 0.901 and 0.350 vs 0.760, respectively, P < 0.05). Receiver operating characteristic analyses on PDAI, BPDAI (erosion/blister) and BPDAI (urticaria/erythema) revealed that the cut-off values in the ratios of day 7/day 0 were 0.762, 0.675, and 0.568, respectively. Our results suggest that PDAI/BPDAI transitions during the initial phase of the treatments may be useful to predict the outcome of the treatment provided and the necessity of additional therapies to achieve disease control.

    Pierre-Robin sequence (PRS) is a rare, congenital defect presenting with micrognathia, glossoptosis, and airway obstruction with variable inclusion of a cleft palate. Overlapping PRS with neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) is a syndrome caused by a chromosome 22q12 microdeletion including NF2. We describe a patient with severe early-onset NF2 overlapping with PRS that showed micrognathia, glossoptosis, and a mild form of cleft palate. We detected a de novo chromosome 22q12 microdeletion including MN1 and NF2 in the patient. Previous cases of overlapping PRS and NF2 caused by the chromosome 22q12 microdeletions showed severe NF2 phenotypes with variable severity of cleft palate and microdeletions of varying sizes. Genotype-phenotype correlations and comparison of the size and breakpoint of microdeletions suggest that some modifier genes distal to MN1 and NF2 might be linked to the cleft palate severity.

    Periodontal Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (pEDS) is an autosomal-dominant disorder first described by Stewart in 1977 that is characterized by severe gingival recession and periodontitis that triggers premature loss of permanent teeth and alveolar bone absorption. It was recently shown that pEDS is caused by a heterozygous missense mutation in C1R or C1S, which encode complement 1 proteases. Here, we report a familial case of pEDS with a novel heterozygous missense mutation, c.674G>C (p.R225P), in C1R (NM_001733.4). The case exhibited pretibial hyperpigmentation and extended periodontitis but neither skin extensibility nor joint hypermobility, suggesting that this mutation will expand the definition of pEDS.

    This is the English version of guidelines for the management of asteatosis 2021 in Japan. Asteatosis is a synonym of xerosis found in a wide range of diseases that induce dry skin through impaired functions of either water retention of the stratum corneum or skin covering with acid mantle. Patients with asteatosis may be accompanied by pruritus. Moisturizers are the first-line treatment for asteatosis and their adequate use must be recommended. The main purpose of the present guidelines is to define skin symptoms requiring treatment with moisturizers for medical use in patients with asteatosis. If the deterioration of marked scaling or scratch marks is predicted, therapeutic intervention with moisturizers for medical use should be considered even in the absence of pruritus. Regarding six important points requiring decision-making in clinical practice (clinical questions), we evaluated the balance between the benefits and harm of medical interventions in reference to previous reports of clinical research, and presented the recommendation grades and evidence levels to optimize the patient outcome by medical interventions.

    Acral peeling skin syndrome (APSS) is a heterogenous group of genodermatoses, manifested by peeling of palmo-plantar skin and occasionally associated with erythema and epidermal thickening. A subset of APSS is caused by mutations in protease inhibitor encoding genes, resulting in unopposed protease activity and desmosomal degradation and/or mis-localization, leading to enhanced epidermal desquamation. We investigated two Arab-Muslim siblings with mild keratoderma and prominent APSS since infancy. Genetic analysis disclosed a homozygous mutation in SERPINB7, c.796C > T, which is the founder mutation in Nagashima type palmo-plantar keratosis (NPPK). Although not previously formally reported, APSS was found in other patients with NPPK. We hypothesized that loss of SERPINB7 function might contribute to the peeling phenotype through impairment of keratinocyte adhesion, similar to other protease inhibitor mutations that cause APSS. Mis-localization of desmosomal components was observed in a patient plantar biopsy compared with a biopsy from an age- and gender-matched healthy control. Silencing of SERPINB7 in normal human epidermal keratinocytes led to increased cell sheet fragmentation upon mechanical stress. Immunostaining showed reduced expression of desmoglein 1 and desmocollin 1. This study shows that in addition to stratum corneum perturbation, loss of SERPINB7 disrupts desmosomal components, which could lead to desquamation, manifested by skin peeling.

    Dominant and recessive mutations in the desmosomal cadherin, desmoglein-1 (DSG1), cause the skin diseases palmoplantar keratoderma (PPK) and severe dermatitis, multiple allergies, and metabolic wasting (SAM) syndrome, respectively. Here, we compare two dominant missense mutations in the DSG1 transmembrane domain (TMD), G557R and G562R, causing PPK (DSG1PPK-TMD) and SAM syndrome (DSG1SAM-TMD), respectively, to determine the differing pathomechanisms of these mutants. Expressing the DSG1TMD mutants in a DSG-null background, we use cellular and biochemical assays to reveal differences in the mechanistic behavior of each mutant. Super resolution microscopy and functional assays showed a failure by both mutants to assemble desmosomes due to reduced membrane trafficking and lipid raft targeting. DSG1SAM-TMD maintained normal expression levels and turnover relative to DSG1WT, but DSG1PPK-TMD lacked stability, leading to increased turnover through lysosomal and proteasomal pathways and reduced expression levels. These results differentiate the underlying pathomechanisms of these disorders, suggesting that DSG1SAM-TMD acts dominant negatively while DSG1PPK-TMD is a loss-of-function mutation causing the milder PPK disease phenotype. These mutants portray the importance of the DSG TMD in desmosome function and suggest that a greater understanding of the desmosomal cadherin TMDs will further our understanding of the role that desmosomes play in epidermal pathophysiology.

    BACKGROUND: Musculocontractural Ehlers-Danlos syndrome is caused by biallelic loss-of-function variants in CHST14 (mcEDS-CHST14) or DSE (mcEDS-DSE). Although 48 patients in 33 families with mcEDS-CHST14 have been reported, the spectrum of pathogenic variants, accurate prevalence of various manifestations and detailed natural history have not been systematically investigated. METHODS: We collected detailed and comprehensive clinical and molecular information regarding previously reported and newly identified patients with mcEDS-CHST14 through international collaborations. RESULTS: Sixty-six patients in 48 families (33 males/females; 0-59 years), including 18 newly reported patients, were evaluated. Japanese was the predominant ethnicity (27 families), associated with three recurrent variants. No apparent genotype-phenotype correlation was noted. Specific craniofacial (large fontanelle with delayed closure, downslanting palpebral fissures and hypertelorism), skeletal (characteristic finger morphologies, joint hypermobility, multiple congenital contractures, progressive talipes deformities and recurrent joint dislocation), cutaneous (hyperextensibility, fine/acrogeria-like/wrinkling palmar creases and bruisability) and ocular (refractive errors) features were observed in most patients (>90%). Large subcutaneous haematomas, constipation, cryptorchidism, hypotonia and motor developmental delay were also common (>80%). Median ages at the initial episode of dislocation or large subcutaneous haematoma were both 6 years. Nine patients died; their median age was 12 years. Several features, including joint and skin characteristics (hypermobility/extensibility and fragility), were significantly more frequent in patients with mcEDS-CHST14 than in eight reported patients with mcEDS-DSE. CONCLUSION: This first international collaborative study of mcEDS-CHST14 demonstrated that the subtype represents a multisystem disorder with unique set of clinical phenotypes consisting of multiple malformations and progressive fragility-related manifestations; these require lifelong, multidisciplinary healthcare approaches.

    IMPORTANCE: Neonatal linear immunoglobulin A (IgA) bullous dermatosis (LABD) is a rare disease that can be fatal when associated with respiratory failure. All previously reported cases of neonatal LABD have been in newborns with healthy asymptomatic mothers, and the pathogenic IgA was of unknown origin. OBJECTIVE: To clarify the origin of IgA associated with LABD in neonates born of healthy asymptomatic mothers. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: This case study analyzed the laboratory findings of a single breast-fed newborn male with neonatal LABD admitted to the Keio University Hospital in Tokyo and his healthy asymptomatic mother. The healthy newborn developed life-threatening blisters and erosions of the skin and mucous membranes on day 4 after birth. Blood serum, skin, and maternal breast milk were examined for IgA autoantibodies. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES: Histopathologic and immunofluorescence analyses of specimens (serum, skin, and breast milk) from the patient and his mother. RESULTS: Histopathologic evaluation of the newborn's skin revealed subepidermal blisters with neutrophil infiltrates, and immunofluorescence testing showed linear IgA deposition along the basement membrane zone (BMZ), which lead to the diagnosis of neonatal LABD. Indirect immunofluorescence using normal human skin after treatment with 1-mol/L sodium chloride showed the patient to have circulating IgA binding to the dermal side of BMZ. Immunohistochemical staining proved the deposition of secretory IgA in the neonatal skin by demonstrating the presence of J chain-not been seen in other LABD cases-indicating that the autoantibodies producing the blisters were derived from the maternal breast milk. Although no circulating IgA against the skin was detected in mother's sera, the breast milk contained IgA that reacted with the dermal side of the BMZ. No new blister formation was observed after cessation of breastfeeding. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: The results of this case study suggest a passive transfer of pathogenic IgA to a newborn from an asymptomatic mother via breast milk. In prior reports, no serum from asymptomatic mothers of newborns with LABD had IgA autoantibodies binding to skin components; however, in this case, we found that the maternal breast milk contained IgA autoantibodies associated with neonatal LABD. In neonatal LABD, maternal breast milk should be examined for IgA autoantibodies and breast milk feeding should be discontinued as soon as neonatal LABD is suspected.

    Palmoplantar keratoderma (PPK) is a collective term for keratinizing disorders in which the main clinical symptom is hyperkeratosis on the palms and soles. To establish the first Japanese guidelines approved by the Japanese Dermatological Association for the management of PPKs, the Committee for the Management of PPKs was founded as part of the Study Group for Rare Intractable Diseases. These guidelines aim to provide current information for the management of PPKs in Japan. Based on evidence, they summarize the clinical manifestations, pathophysiologies, diagnostic criteria, disease severity determination criteria, treatment, and treatment recommendations. Because of the rarity of PPKs, there are only few clinical studies with a high degree of evidence. Therefore, several parts of these guidelines were established based on the opinions of the committee. To further optimize the guidelines, periodic revision in line with new evidence is necessary.

    FGFR3 encodes a transmembrane receptor tyrosine kinase that has six autophosphorylation sites of tyrosine. Among them, Y770 is a negative regulatory site for the downstream signaling of FGFR3. Constitutive active mutations in FGFR3 are involved in human developmental disorders including familial acanthosis nigricans, an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by general hyperpigmentation with mild acanthosis of the epidermis. Here, we report two unrelated cases of familial acanthosis nigricans with a heterozygous c.2302G>T (p.E768*) mutation in FGFR3 (NM_000142.5). FGFR3 mRNA purified from the skin lesion neither showed aberrant splicing nor nonsense-mediated mRNA decay, indicating that the FGFR3 mutant simply lacked the C-terminal 768-806 amino acids including Y770. While all of the known pathogenic mutations were missense mutations in FGFR3 showing autosomal dominant trait, the c.2302G>T mutation of FGFR3 is a unique autosomal dominant nonsense mutation that causes familial acanthosis nigricans probably via loss of negative regulatory autophosphorylation site of FGFR3.

    BACKGROUND: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is heterogenous in terms of phenotype as well as genetic and environmental factors, while its associated genetic factors and pathophysiology are not fully understood. OBJECTIVE: We identify novel genetic factors enriched in a subgroup of AD patients with characteristic clinical features. METHODS: We clinically subgrouped 18 AD patients who exhibited distinctive characteristic of persistent skin eruption areas on the face and neck from 92 Japanese adult AD patients and identified disease-associated genetic factors enriched within the subgroup. Targeted resequencing and subsequent genetic association analyses were used to identify novel enriched genetic variations in the subgroup compared with the other AD patients. RESULTS: Targeted resequencing of 648 skin associated genes revealed an enrichment of 12 single nucleotide variations (SNVs) in patients with face and neck AD (n = 18) compared with the general Japanese population in the database. Subsequent allele frequency comparison between the face and neck AD and non - face and neck AD subgroups revealed enrichment of five SNVs. Multivariate analysis using genotype data revealed that three SNVs in theTLR1, TIRAP, and PSAPL1 genes, two of the three genes are involved in the Toll-like receptor pathway, were significantly enriched in patients with face and neck AD. CONCLUSION: These findings revealed that the SNVs in genes associated with the innate immune pathway are enriched in a subgroup of AD. The combinational approach of clinical subgrouping and genotyping is valuable for detecting novel disease-associated genetic factors.

    Damage to the genome can accelerate aging. The percentage of aneuploid cells, that is, cells with an abnormal number of chromosomes, increases during aging; however, it is not clear whether increased aneuploidy accelerates aging. Here, we report an individual showing premature aging phenotypes of various organs including early hair loss, atrophic skin, and loss of hematopoietic stem cells; instability of chromosome numbers known as mosaic variegated aneuploidy (MVA); and spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) failure. Exome sequencing identified a de novo heterozygous germline missense mutation of c.856C>A (p.R286S) in the mitotic activator CDC20. The mutant CDC20 showed lower binding affinity to BUBR1 during the formation of the mitotic checkpoint complex (MCC), but not during the interaction between MCC and the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C)-CDC20 complex. While heterozygous knockout of CDC20 did not induce SAC failure, knock-in of the mutant CDC20 induced SAC failure and random aneuploidy in cultured cells, indicating that the particular missense mutation is pathogenic probably via the resultant imbalance between MCC and APC/C-CDC20 complex. We postulate that accelerated chromosome number instability induces premature aging in humans, which may be associated with early loss of stem cells. These findings could form the basis of a novel disease model of the aging of the body and organs.

    Abundant corneocyte surface protrusions, observed in patients with atopic dermatitis with filaggrin loss-of-function mutations, are inversely associated with levels of natural moisturizing factors (NMFs) in the stratum corneum. To dissect the etiological role of NMFs and filaggrin deficiency in surface texture alterations, we examined mouse models with genetic deficiencies in the synthesis or degradation of filaggrin monomers for NMFs, cell stiffness (elastic modulus) and corneocyte surface protrusion density (dermal texture index). Five neonatal and adult mouse models carrying inactivating mutations of SASPase (Sasp-/-), filaggrin (Flgft/ft and Flg-/-), filaggrin-hornerin (FlgHrnr-/-), and bleomycin hydrolase (Blmh-/-) were investigated. Sasp-/- and Flg-/- were on the hairless mouse background. Atomic force microscopy was used to determine elastic modulus and dermal texture index. Corneocytes of each neonatal as well as hairless adult knockout mouse exhibited an increased number of protrusions and decreased elastic modulus. In these mice, NMFs were reduced except for Sasp-/-. Dermal texture index was inversely correlated with NMFs and elastic modulus. Our findings demonstrate that any filaggrin-NMF axis deficiency can affect corneocyte mechanical properties in mice and likely in humans. Differences in NMFs and corneocyte surface texture between neonatal and adult as well as hairless and hairy mice emphasize the need for carefully selecting the most appropriate animal models for studies.

    Holocrine secretion is a specific mode of secretion involving secretion of entire cytoplasmic materials with remnants of dead cells, as observed in multicellular exocrine glands of reptiles, birds, and mammals. Here, we found that sebaceous glands in mice, representative of multicellular exocrine glands of mammals, exhibit a form of polarized stratified epithelium equipped with tight junctions (TJs), and found that holocrine secretion occurred outside the TJ barriers. Sebaceous glands share characteristics of stratified epithelia with interfollicular epidermis, including basal-layer-restricted cell proliferation, TJ barrier formation at a specific single layer of cells with apico-basolateral plasma membrane polarity, and cell death outside the TJ barrier. Knockout of claudin-1, a transmembrane adhesive protein in TJs, in mice caused leakage of the TJ barrier in sebaceous glands and incomplete degradation of the plasma membrane and nuclei during holocrine secretion. Claudin-1 knockout resulted in the accumulation of incompletely degenerated sebocytes in sebaceous ducts, suggesting that the TJ barrier was necessary for differentiation of holocrine secretion. The redefinition of sebaceous glands as TJ-forming stratified epithelia provides an important framework to understand the molecular mechanism of holocrine secretion.

    The epidermal barrier is thought to protect sensory nerves from overexposure to environmental stimuli, and barrier impairment leads to pathological conditions associated with itch, such as atopic dermatitis (AD). However, it is not known how the epidermal barrier continuously protects nerves for the sensory homeostasis during turnover of the epidermis. Here we show that epidermal nerves are contained underneath keratinocyte tight junctions (TJs) in normal human and mouse skin, but not in human AD samples or mouse models of chronic itch caused by epidermal barrier impairment. By intravital imaging of the mouse skin, we found that epidermal nerve endings were frequently extended and retracted, and occasionally underwent local pruning. Importantly, the epidermal nerve pruning took place rapidly at intersections with newly forming TJs in the normal skin, whereas this process was disturbed during chronic itch development. Furthermore, aberrant Ca2+ increases in epidermal nerves were induced in association with the disturbed pruning. Finally, TRPA1 inhibition suppressed aberrant Ca2+ increases in epidermal nerves and itch. These results suggest that epidermal nerve endings are pruned through interactions with keratinocytes to stay below the TJ barrier, and that disruption of this mechanism may lead to aberrant activation of epidermal nerves and pathological itch.

    Patients with disseminated superficial actinic porokeratosis (DSAP) and linear porokeratosis (LP) exhibit monoallelic germline mutations in genes encoding mevalonate pathway enzymes, such as MVD or MVK. Here, we showed that each skin lesion of DSAP exhibited an individual second hit genetic change in the wild-type allele of the corresponding gene specifically in the epidermis, indicating that a postnatal second hit triggering biallelic deficiency of the gene is required for porokeratosis to develop. Most skin lesions exhibited one of two principal second hits, either somatic homologous recombinations rendering the monoallelic mutation biallelic or C>T transition mutations in the wild-type allele. The second hits differed among DSAP lesions but were identical in those of congenital LP, suggesting that DSAP is attributable to sporadic postnatal second hits and congenital LP to a single second hit in the embryonic period. In the characteristic annular skin lesions of DSAP, the central epidermis featured mostly second hit keratinocytes, and that of the annular ring featured a mixture of such cells and naïve keratinocytes, implying that each lesion reflects the clonal expansion of single second hit keratinocytes. DSAP is therefore a benign intraepidermal neoplasia, which can be included in the genetic tumor disorders explicable by Knudson's two-hit hypothesis.

    Desmogleins (Dsgs) are cadherin family adhesion molecules essential for epidermal integrity. Previous studies have shown that desmogleins associate with lipid rafts, but the significance of this association was not clear. Here, we report that the desmoglein transmembrane domain (TMD) is the primary determinant of raft association. Further, we identify a novel mutation in the DSG1 TMD (G562R) that causes severe dermatitis, multiple allergies, and metabolic wasting syndrome. Molecular modeling predicts that this G-to-R mutation shortens the DSG1 TMD, and experiments directly demonstrate that this mutation compromises both lipid raft association and desmosome incorporation. Finally, cryo-electron tomography indicates that the lipid bilayer within the desmosome is ∼10% thicker than adjacent regions of the plasma membrane. These findings suggest that differences in bilayer thickness influence the organization of adhesion molecules within the epithelial plasma membrane, with cadherin TMDs recruited to the desmosome via the establishment of a specialized mesoscale lipid raft-like membrane domain.

    BACKGROUND: Congenital ichthyoses (CIs) adversely affect quality of life (QOL) in patients. However, the effects of CIs on patient QOL have not been studied sufficiently. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association between disease severity and QOL in patients with harlequin ichthyosis (HI) and ichthyosis: syndromic forms (ISFs) METHODS: Clinical information of patients with HI and ISFs from 2010 to 2015 were obtained from 100 dermatology departments/divisions of principal institutes/hospitals throughout Japan. We examined the relationship between disease severity and QOL in patients with HI and ISFs. Patients who were aged 8 years or older and participated in a multicenter retrospective questionnaire survey in Japan were assessed by dermatology life quality index (DLQI, range of 0-30) and clinical ichthyosis score (range of 0-100). RESULTS: Netherton syndrome patients had a significantly higher risk of allergy to food or environmental allergens than patients with other phenotypes. Keratitis-ichthyosis-deafness (KID) syndrome patients showed a significantly higher risk of skin infections than patients with other phenotypes. Complete data on DLQI were obtained from 13 patients, whose median age was 21 (8-71) years. Nine patients were male, and 4 were female. Systemic retinoids were administrated to 2 of the 3 HI patients. The Spearman's correlation coefficient between the clinical ichthyosis score and DLQI was 0.611 (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: We confirmed that Netherton syndrome and KID syndrome patients have a higher risk of allergy to food or environmental allergens and of skin infections, respectively. QOL impairment correlates with disease severity in HI and ISFs patients.

    Human papillomavirus (HPV) has been detected in some cases of Bowen's disease, particularly on the fingers and genitalia. HPV-58 is classified as a high-risk mucosal type and accounts for a high percentage of cervical cancer in Asia. Moreover, several HPV-58 lineages, including sublineage A1, have a high prevalence in Asia. However, the nature of HPV-58-associated skin cancer is still unknown. Here, we report a case of a Japanese patient with multiple Bowen's disease on the fingers. A 33-year-old man presented with multiple reddish-brown scaly plaques on his left middle finger and right ring finger. All lesions were surgically excised, and the diagnosis of Bowen's disease was made. We performed Sanger sequencing using DNA extracted from paraffin-embedded samples and identified HPV-58 sublineage A1. Additionally, we review previous reports on HPV-58-associated skin cancers, including our case, showing a high regional prevalence in Asia. Further studies would be needed to reveal the relationship between HPV-58 lineages and carcinogenesis in the skin.

    © 2018 John Wiley & Sons A/S. Published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd The skin forms a life-sustaining barrier between the organism and the physical environment. The physical barrier of the skin is mainly comprised of the stratum corneum (SC) and tight junctions (TJs). In recent years, there have been significant advances in our understanding of the epidermal TJ function, composition and regulation. In contrast to the SC, TJs are highly dynamic structures. It was discovered that spatiotemporal regulation of dynamic TJ replacement from cell to cell maintains the TJ barrier homeostasis of the skin, despite continuous cellular turnover. This review summarizes current knowledge about how TJ barrier homeostasis is maintained in simple and stratified epithelia, and how diseases and other conditions affect the TJ barrier in the skin.

    BACKGROUND: Centrosomes contain two centrioles: a pre-existing mature centriole and a newly formed immature centriole. Each centriole is duplicated once within a cell cycle, which is crucial for proper centrosome duplication and cell division. OBJECTIVE: To describe the centrosome duplication cycle in human epidermis, Bowen's disease (BD), and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). METHODS: Immunofluorescent staining of centriolar proteins and Ki-67 was used to evaluate cell cycles and the number of centrioles. Centrobin and Outer dense fiber of sperm tails 2 (ODF2) were used as markers for immature and mature centrioles, respectively. RESULTS: Normal human primary epidermal keratinocytes in a monolayered culture have one centrobin(+) centriole (CTRB(1+) cells) supposed in G0/G1 phases or have two centrobin(+) centrioles (CTRB(2+) cells) supposed in S-G2 phase. In a three-dimensional culture and in vivo human epidermis, the majority of suprabasal cells were CTRB(2+) cells, in spite of their non-proliferative Ki-67(-) nature. The tumor mass of BD and SCC contained CTRB(1+) cells and Ki-67(+) proliferating and Ki-67(-) non-proliferative CTRB(2+) cells. Clumping cells in BD had increased numb

    Pallister-Killian syndrome is caused by mosaic tetrasomy 12p; the clinical features are hypomelanotic streaks along Blaschko's lines, temporal and frontal balding with woolly hair, overgrowth, and psychomotor retardation. Herein we report a case of Pallister-Killian syndrome and discuss the clinical definition of hypomelanosis of Ito, which is now considered to be general term for mosaicism showing streaks of hypopigmentation along Blaschko's line and psychomotor retardation.

      アトピー性皮膚炎において,慢性的な痒みは症状の悪化に大きく関与している.近年,角質やタイトジャンクションなどの皮膚バリアの機能不全が,痒みの発生に関与していると考えられている.しかしながら,痒みを担う皮膚神経の活性化がどこでどのように起こっているかは明らかにされていない.本研究では,新たに確立した三次元ホールマウント免疫染色法を用いて,正常マウス及びアトピー性皮膚炎モデルマウスの,表皮タイトジャンクションと神経の構造の解析を行った.その結果,正常皮膚では表皮神経はタイトジャンクションの内側にしか存在しないのに対して,アトピー性皮膚炎モデルにおいては,タイトジャンクションの形成異常が起こり,表皮神経がより外界に暴露されていることが示唆された.また,二光子レーザー顕微鏡を用いた皮膚感覚神経のCa2+イメージングを行った.その結果,皮膚炎が発症する直前から,異常なタイトジャンクションの近傍において感覚神経が活性化していることが示唆された.これらのことから,アトピー性皮膚炎の発症においては,表皮タイトジャンクションの異常により,表皮神経が外界からの刺激に長期間暴露されることによって,掻痒が引き起こされる可能性が考えられた.

    BACKGROUND: Autosomal recessive woolly hair/hypotrichosis (ARWH/H) is caused by mutations in LIPH. Homozygotes for the LIPH c.736T>A (p.C246S) mutation, the most prevalent genotype in Japanese patients, present varying degrees of hair loss; however, determinants of this phenotypic diversity remain elusive. OBJECTIVES: To establish methodologies for quantitative assessment of clinical severity and provide a detailed characterization to elucidate the factors contributing to phenotypic divergence. METHODS: Digital image analyses were conducted to convert clinical severities into numerical values. Eight patients with ARWH/H were classified into three groups (mild, severe, very severe), based on severity scores. Dermoscopic images were collected and assessed for total hair numbers and hair thickness for intergroup comparisons. RESULTS: The image analysis detected a difference in hair thickness but not in total hair numbers, between mild and severe cases. A marked decrease in total hair number was noted in an atypical very severe case. Histopathologically, a patient with a mild case demonstrated hair miniaturization and a high telogen/anagen ratio without a decrease in total hair count,

    皮膚表皮には角質層とタイトジャンクション(TJ)の2つのバリアが存在する。ランゲルハンス細胞は表皮TJバリアの内側に通常は存在しているが、活性化するとTJバリアを越えて角質層直下まで樹状突起を延長し、TJバリアの外側で樹状突起の先端から抗原取得を行う。アトピー性皮膚炎の表皮では、表皮TJバリアを越えるランゲルハンス細胞が増加しており、表皮バリアの脆弱性により免疫応答が亢進している可能性がある。皮膚バリアをよい状態に保ち、外来抗原の侵入を抑えることにより、新たな経皮感作やIgEを介したアレルギー反応を予防できることが期待される。(著者抄録)

    In many animal species, the production of new neurons (neurogenesis) occurs throughout life, in a specialized germinal region called the ventricular-subventricular zone (V-SVZ). In this region, neural stem cells undergo self-renewal and generate neural progenitor cells and new neurons. In the olfactory system, the new neurons migrate rostrally toward the olfactory bulb, where they differentiate into mature interneurons. V-SVZ-derived new neurons can also migrate toward sites of brain injury, where they contribute to neural regeneration. Recent studies indicate that two major branches of the Wnt signaling pathway, the Wnt/β-catenin and Wnt/planar cell polarity pathways, play essential roles in various facets of adult neurogenesis. Here, we review the Wnt signaling-mediated regulation of adult neurogenesis in the V-SVZ under physiological and pathological conditions.

    皮膚には角層のバリアと,その内側で液性環境の恒常性を保つタイトジャンクション(TJ)バリアの2つの物理的バリアが存在する.表皮内樹状細胞であるランゲルハンス細胞(LC)は,TJバリア外に樹状突起を延長して外来抗原を取得し,先制免疫の獲得に働くことを我々はマウスを用いて明らかにしてきた.本研究では,健康人皮膚と,角層バリア破綻が発症因子となるアトピー性皮膚炎(AD)患者皮膚の3次元観察を行った.ヒト皮膚でも活性化したLCはTJを突き抜けて樹状突起を角層直下へと延ばしていた.AD患者病変部では,活性化してTJ外に樹状突起を延ばしたLCが増加しており,経皮感作が亢進している可能性が示唆された.AD患者表皮には,inflammatory dendritic epidermal cell(IDEC)と呼ばれる,LCとは異なる特徴を持った樹状細胞が出現する.今回の観察により,IDECはLCと比較して表皮の深いところに位置し,周囲のLCが活性化してTJバリア外に樹状突起を延ばしている状況でも,常にTJバリア内に留まることを明らかにした.AD患者ではLCとIDECのいずれもがIgEレセプターを発現するが,TJ外に出た樹状突起先端に濃縮するlangerinとは異なり,IgEレセプターはTJバリアの内側の細胞膜に分布していた.すなわち,皮膚バリアを良い状態に保つことにより,新たな経皮感作やIgEを介したアレルギー反応を予防できることが予想され,AD患者の治療におけるスキンケアの重要性を示した.

    BACKGROUND: The stratum corneum and tight junctions (TJs) form physical barriers in the epidermis. Dendrites of activated Langerhans cells (LCs) extend beyond the TJs to capture external antigens in mice. LCs and inflammatory dendritic epidermal cells (IDECs) are observed in the skin of patients with atopic dermatitis (AD). OBJECTIVE: We sought to investigate the characteristics of LCs and IDECs and the distribution of their antigen capture receptors in relation to TJs in normal and AD skin. METHODS: We characterized the interactions of LCs and IDECs with TJs and the expression patterns of langerin and FcepsilonRI by using whole-mount epidermal sheets from healthy subjects and patients with AD, ichthyosis vulgaris, and psoriasis vulgaris. RESULTS: As in mouse skin, activated LCs penetrate TJs in human skin. The number of LCs with TJ penetration increased approximately 5-fold in erythematous lesional skin of patients with AD but not in nonlesional skin of patients with AD or lesions of patients with ichthyosis vulgaris or psoriasis. In contrast, IDECs localized in the lower part of the epidermis, and their dendrites extended horizontally without penetration through TJs. Although lan

    フィラグリンの遺伝子変異は,アトピー性皮膚炎の主要な発症因子として報告されている.私たちは本研究で,フィラグリン欠損(Flg−/−)マウスを作成し,角層のバリア機能維持及び経皮免疫応答におけるフィラグリンの影響について検討した.
      生後早期のFlg−/−マウスは,落屑を伴い乾皮症様の外観を呈した.フィラグリンの分解産物を主な構成成分とするNMF(Natural moisturizing factor)はFlg−/−角層で著しい減少を認めたものの,角層内水分量や経皮水分蒸散量は正常だった.テープストリップを用いた実験から,物理刺激によるFlg−/−皮膚での角層剥離の亢進が示された.電子顕微鏡による観察から,Flg−/−角層におけるケラチンパターンの消失が確認され,これがFlg−/−角層の脆弱性に関与している可能性が示唆された.続いてカルセイン含有リポソームをマウス皮膚に塗布し,共焦点レーザー顕微鏡で観察したところ,Flg−/−角層で色素透過性の亢進を認めた.これらFlg−/−角層の機能異常は,ハプテン誘導性接触過敏反応やタンパク抗原経皮塗布後の液性免疫応答の亢進をもたらした.
      我々が作成したFlg−/−マウスは,in vivoでのフィラグリンの機能を正しく評価し,バリア機能異常を有する皮膚への経皮的抗原曝露から疾患が発症するまでのアトピー性皮膚炎発症機序の解明につながる有用なツールとなる.

    Skin is the structure that covers our body and protects it from not only the entry of pathogens or allergens but also from the leakage of water, solutes or nutrients. These outside-in and inside-out skin barrier functions are dependent on the epidermis, a stratified epithelial cellular sheet. While mucus covers the epidermis in fish and amphibian tadpoles, terminally differentiated cornified cellular sheets called stratum corneum (SC) constitute the outermost epidermal barrier in amphibian adults, reptiles, birds and mammals. Beneath the mucus or SC, apical paracellular spaces of epidermal cells are sealed with tight junctions (TJs) that might limit paracellular leakage of water and electrolytes to maintain fluid homeostasis. We have recently reported in mice that Langerhans cells (LCs) elongate their dendrites to penetrate through epidermal TJs upon activation and uptake antigens from extra-TJ environment. During antigen uptake, new TJs are formed between keratinocytes and LC dendrites to maintain the integrity of epidermal TJ barriers. To understand the epidermal barrier system and its deficiency observed in human skin diseases, we need to re-evaluate human epidermal barrier as a composite barrier consisting of SC and TJs and to investigate the molecular mechanism and immunological consequences of the extra-TJ antigen uptake activity of LCs.

  • Gene knockout analysis of two gamma-tubulin isoforms in mice.
    Akiko Yuba-Kubo, Akiharu Kubo, Masaki Hata, Shoichiro Tsukita
    Gamma-tubulin regulates the nucleation of microtubules, but knowledge of its functions in vivo is still fragmentary. Here, we report the identification of two closely related gamma-tubulin isoforms, TUBG1 and TUBG2, in mice, and the generation of TUBG1- and TUBG2-deficient mice. TUBG1 was expressed ubiquitously, whereas TUBG2 was primarily detected in the brain. The development of TUBG1-deficient (Tubg1-/-) embryos stopped at the morula/blastocyst stages due to a characteristic mitotic arrest: the mitotic spindle was highly disorganized, and disorganized spindles showed one or two pole-like foci of bundled MTs that were surrounded by condensed chromosomes. TUBG2 was expressed in blastocysts, but could not rescue the TUBG1 deficiency. By contrast, TUBG2-deficient (Tubg2-/-) mice were born, grew, and intercrossed normally. In the brain of wild-type mice, TUBG2 was expressed in approximately the same amount as TUBG1, but no histological abnormalities were found in the Tubg2-/- brain. These findings indicated that TUBG1 and TUBG2 are not functionally equivalent in vivo, that TUBG1 corresponds to conventional gamma-tubulin, and that TUBG2 may have some unidentified function in the brain.

    © 2018 John Wiley & Sons A/S. Published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd The skin forms a life-sustaining barrier between the organism and the physical environment. The physical barrier of the skin is mainly comprised of the stratum corneum (SC) and tight junctions (TJs). In recent years, there have been significant advances in our understanding of the epidermal TJ function, composition and regulation. In contrast to the SC, TJs are highly dynamic structures. It was discovered that spatiotemporal regulation of dynamic TJ replacement from cell to cell maintains the TJ barrier homeostasis of the skin, despite continuous cellular turnover. This review summarizes current knowledge about how TJ barrier homeostasis is maintained in simple and stratified epithelia, and how diseases and other conditions affect the TJ barrier in the skin.

    汗孔角化症とは、メバロン酸経路に関わる代謝酵素をコードする遺伝子の欠損により皮疹が生じる疾患である。汗孔角化症患者の2症例において、正常部と病変部のそれぞれから組織を採取し、初代培養ケラチノサイトを樹立した。いずれの細胞も、血清存在下では同じ増殖を示した。ところが無血清培地においては、正常皮膚由来のケラチノサイトは血清存在下と同様に増殖したのに対し、病変部皮膚由来のケラチノサイトは死滅した。無血清培地にコレステロールを添加したところ、病変部由来のケラチノサイトも正常に増殖したことから、患者病変部表皮の細胞ではメバロン酸経路が機能していないためにコレステロールの生合成ができず、正常に増殖できないことが考えられた。これら2種類の細胞間で生じる細胞競合現象を解析するために、2種類の細胞を単独培養した時には生じず、2種類の細胞を混合して培養した場合に生じる現象を探索する。2種類の細胞を適切な比率で混合し、正常細胞が変異細胞に取り込まれる条件と、逆に変異細胞が正常細胞に取り囲まれる培養条件においてmRNA発現を網羅的に比較した。変異細胞においては、コレステロール生合成経路の酵素のmRNA発現が上昇していた。2種類の細胞を混合培養した時に上昇すると予想される、細胞競合/細胞増殖に関わるシグナルについて検索中である。また、汗孔角化症の疾患モデルマウスを作成するため、汗孔角化症の原因遺伝子であるMVDとMVKについてfloxマウスを作成した。今後、K14-creERTマウスおよび組み換えが生じた場合に細胞が発する蛍光が変化するmT-mGマウスとの掛け合わせにより、適切な確立でcre-loxP組み換えが起こり、汗孔角化症の皮膚症状がタモキシフェン投与により誘導されるかを探索する。

    細胞競合とは、状態の異なる2種類の近接する細胞が環境への適応度で競合する現象であり、過去に主にショウジョウバエやマウスにおいて観察されてきた。これまでに申請者の所属研究室では、汗孔角化症の研究において、原因遺伝子に変異を持つケラチノサイトが正常ケラチノサイトと混ざり合う領域でのみ、過角化や炎症細胞浸潤などの病変が発生することを見出した。これより、ヒトの表皮において細胞競合現象が存在する可能性、および細胞競合現象が病変を誘発する原因となりうる可能性が強く示唆されている。 本研究は、変異ケラチノサイトが表皮内でクローン増殖することで発症する列序性表皮母斑・脂漏性角化症などの皮膚モザイク疾患群に着眼し、「変異遺伝子ごとの細胞競合現象の違いが、皮疹の形状や大きさの違いを生み出している」という仮説をたて、検討を行うものである。これまでの事業期間において、申請者は主に、変異ケラチノサイトと正常ケラチノサイトを用いたin vitro皮疹モデルの構築に携わり、実験手法を確立させた。これと並行して、培養細胞株を元にした疾患モデル細胞の準備も進めていたが、申請者の科研費指定機関ではない機関への転職による応募資格喪失により、本研究は今年度にて補助事業廃止となった。研究室においては今後も、他メンバーにより引き続き、本モデルを用いて正常・変異ケラチノサイト間で発生する細胞競合現象の分子メカニズムの検討が進められていく予定である。

    CHILD syndrome is a genetic disorder associated with a mutation of the NSDHL gene. The patients with CHILD syndrome present scaly erythema with Koebner phenomenon, however the mechanism of the skin eruption has been unclear. In this study, we performed Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometrythe (GC-MS) to analyze of the detailed cholesterol metabolites in CHILD syndrome and detected several unusual cholesterol metabolites in the affected skin. We also performed GC-MS using HaCaT cells treated by NSDHL inhibitor and detected identical unusual cholesterol metabolites, suggesting that our culture system could mimic the affected skin in CHILD syndrome in vitro.

  • Molecular mechanisms of the itch sensation and skin inflammation induced by epidermal tight junction barrier deficiency

    The stratum corneum (SC) and tight junctions (TJs) form physical barriers in the skin. A congenital TJ barrier defect caused by a deficiency of claudin-1, which encodes a major epidermal TJ adhesion molecule, results in early neonatal death in mice and neonatal ichthyosis-sclerosing cholangitis syndrome in humans. These observations suggest the essential role of TJs in skin homeostasis. Here, we established tamoxifen (TAM)-inducible epidermis-specific claudin-1 knockout mice (K14-creERT+/-, Cldn1flox/flox mice) and investigated the pathophysiology of epidermal TJ defects in adult mice. To clarify the barrier defects of the SC and TJ separately, we measured water evaporation through isolated SC sheets (WETIS) ex vivo.On day 8, claudin-1 staining disappeared, but no elevation of WETIS was observed. On day 18, compact hyperkeratosis and increased WETIS were observed, suggesting that the TJ barrier leakage secondarily induced the SC barrier defect.

  • Clarification of the pathogenesis of atopic disease by using filaggrin deficient mice in dry environment

    Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C), Keio University, 01 Apr. 2014 - 31 Mar. 2017
    We aimed to clarify the pathogenesis that stratum corneum function of filaggrin deficient mice was exacerbated by the dry condition and lead to develop atopic disease, by using the filaggrin deficient mouse model grown in dry environment. Excessive barrier dysfunction and aberrant percutaneous sensitization were evident in the mice kept in dry condition, and these extents were more obvious in filaggrin deficient mice. Skin transcriptomic analysis of differentially expressed genes (DEG) between filaggrin deficient and wild-type mice revealed that very few genes were differentially expressed in normal humidity condition as compared with DEG in dry condition, suggesting that the impact of filaggrin deficiency was not significant in humid condition. Thus, we demonstrated that functional disorder due to filaggrin deficiency had an impact on phenotypic expression of the mice, closely associated with environmental factor of humidity.

  • The elucidation of the Nagashima-type palmoplantar keratosis caused by SERPINB7 protease inhibitor deficiency

    Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C), Keio University, 01 Apr. 2014 - 31 Mar. 2017
    Nagashima-type palmoplantar keratosis (NPPK) was an established autosomal recessive, early-onset palmoplantar keratoderma caused by mutations in the encoding SERPINB7 gene, a member of the serine protease inhibitor superfamily. To gain of more insight of NPPK, we promoted to create a knockout mouse model, selection of protease inhibited the activity of SERPINB7, and genome analysis of NPPK patients. We identified novel missense mutations of SERPINB7 gene with NPPK. The mutated proteins formed aggregates and mislocalized within corneocytes, possibly resulting in loss of protease inhibitory activity at the proper location. We applied to the haplotype analysis to determine whether the pathogenic mutations were derived from a common ancestor or represented mutations in the genomic region of SERPINB7. In consequence, the founder effect of the mutation and other recurrent mutations might explain why NPPK was so common in the Japanese population but not in Western populations.

    Th17 cells are the main cells that produce IL-17A.We found that IL-23 is required for the differentiation of Th17 cells via a patch application on the skin.In oder to find a therapeutic target of percutaneous sensitized asthma, I focused on the role of IL-23 produced in the local skin region and the role of Th17 in cytokine enhancement by administrating anti-IL-23 or control IgG to a percutaneously sensitized asthma mouse model, and then evaluating it for eosinophilic airway inflammation In the group to which the anti-IL-23 antibody was administered during the sensitization phase, the production of OVA-specific IgG1 antibody tended to decrease compared to the group to which the control IgG antibody was administered, and furthermore, the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid eosinophil count and eosinophil infiltration in tissues were found to decrease significantly.

    In multicellular organisms, cells adopt various shapes, from flattened sheets of endothelium to dendritic neurons, that allow the cells to function effectively. Here, we elucidated the unique shape of cells in the stratified epithelia of the epidermis that allows them to achieve homeostasis of the tight junction (TJ) barrier. Using intimate in vivo 3D imaging, we found that the basic shape of TJ-bearing cells is a flattened Kelvin’s tetrakaidecahedron (f-TKD), an optimal shape for filling space. In vivo live imaging further elucidated the dynamic replacement of TJs on the edges of f-TKD cells that enables the TJ-bearing cells to translocate across the TJ barrier. We propose a spatiotemporal orchestration model of f-TKD cell turnover, where in the classic context of “form follows function,” cell shape provides a fundamental basis for the barrier homeostasis and physical strength of cornified stratified epithelia.

    Our animal experiments indicated amelioration of allergic airway inflammation after skin injury, which was opposite to commonsense. Thus we hypothesized that skin injury induced an allergy-protecting factor. We assumed the factor would be ATP and administrated ATP directly on animal skin. However, it turned out to be ineffective. We are seeking another candidate factor by analyzing injured skin tissue with DNA microarray.

  • Attempt to regenerate hair follicles using human iPS cell-derived epithelial and mesenchymal cells optimized for trichogenicity

    Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (B), 01 Apr. 2013 - 31 Mar. 2016
    The aim of this study is to generate hair follicle structure using human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived epithelial and mesenchymal components optimized for trichogenicity. With regards to epithelial cells, a stable protocol to induce keratinocytes containing stem cell marker expressing cells was established. For trichogenic mesenchymal component preparation, an approach to generate multipotent mesenchymal stem cell-like cells was developed. The resultant cells are further programmed to acquire hair inductive property of dermal papilla cells. When co-grafted with normal human keratinocytes into immunedeficient mice, those cells gave rise to hair follicle-like structures with moderate reconstitution efficiency. However, regeneration of hair follicle structure exclusively consisted of human iPSC-derived cells is still technically very challenging, mainly because of relatively low efficiency and adjustment of the timing in the production of both iPSC-derived subsets.

    We established target resequencing method using next generation DNA sequencer for 600 Atopic Dermatitis (AD) related genes, and analyzed against Japanese AD patients. As a result, we isolated 6 candidate AD related mutations including natural immunity and signal pathway in epithelial cells. We analyzed the one candidate mutation against Japanese 150 AD patients among these candidates. Finally, we found the AD patients who show specific dermatitis at face and neck possess this mutation, frequently, and we currently are confirming this result with other Japanese AD patients.

    ランゲルハンス細胞(LC )による免疫制御機能を解析するため、表皮接着因子であるデスモグレイン3を中心とするいくつかのシステムを利用し、LCの機能解析を行った。昨年度までの研究で、LC は周囲ケラチノサイトからDsg3を獲得し、抗原提示を行うことがわかった。興味深いことに、LC は調節性T細胞をより優先的に増殖させることがわかり、自己抗原に対しては、免疫を抑制的に働かせることが示唆された。 本年度はこの解析をin vivoにて確認した。Dsg3を自己抗原とした自己免疫疾患モデルマウスを利用した。我々は以前Dsg3を自己抗原としたCD4陽性T細胞をクローニングし、Dsg3特異的CD4陽性T細胞受容体を遺伝子導入したマウスを確立した。このマウスの脾臓から採取したCD4陽性T細胞(Dsg3特異的)をRag2-/-マウスに移入することでマウスは皮膚炎を呈し、皮膚に浸潤したT細胞はケラチノサイトをアポトーシスに陥れる。この組織学的に見られる免疫応答は薬疹、SLEなどで見られる “interface dermatitis”の所見であり、我々はこのモデルをExperimental Autoimmune Dermatitis (EAD)と称している。このシステムは生理的な自己抗原に対する自己免疫モデルであり、T細胞が関与するメカニズムが詳細に解析された実験系である。LC欠損EADは通常EADと比較し、皮膚症状が増悪し、より多くのIFN-γもしくはIL-17産生CD4+ T細胞の浸潤が認められた。さらに、LC欠損EADでは制御性T細胞の減少が認められ、in vitroの実験と合致する所見を得た。これらの結果より、LCは制御性T細胞の誘導誘導を介して自己抗原に対する末梢性免疫寛容を誘導していることが考えられた。

    The purpose of this study is to clarify the pathogenic roles of T cells specific for desmoglein 3 (Dsg3), the autoimmune target antigen in pemphigus vulgaris, and the mechanisms of tolerance to Dsg3 in vivo. Dsg3-specific T cells were able to induce not only pemphigus vulgaris, but also unexpectedly interface dermatitis and psoriasis-like skin lesions. This model provides an important tool to dissect the pathophysiological mechanisms for interface dermatitis as experimental autoimmune dermatitis (EAD). While Dsg3-specific T cells are usually deleted in the thymus (central tolerance), it was demonstrated that these T cells could be deleted solely in the periphery (peripheral tolerance) when thymic epithelial cells did not express Dsg3. Further dissection of the mechanisms for peripheral tolerance will lead us to develop a novel therapeutic strategy for antigen-specific immune suppression.

    In order to develop new objective methods to assess the disease activity in pemphigus, we performed the detailed characterization of repertories of monoclonal anti-desmoglein (Dsg) 1 autoantibodies isolated from a pemphigus foliaceus patient by phage display. Major epitopes on desmoglein bound by autoantibodies in many pemphigus patients were uncovered. The reactivity against the epitopes by pemphigus sera correlates with the disease activity. These findings will facilitate the development of new objective methods to assess the disease activity in pemphigus patients.

    Centrosome consists of mother and daughter centrioles and pericentriolar materials. Centrosome duplicates only once per cell cycle and the duplication cycle is strictly regulated. In many cancer cells, the centrosomal cycle is dysregulated, which induces multi-polar spindles or cytokinesis failure and aneuploidy. In this study, we established a specific antibody against daughter centrioles and succeeded to count the number of mother and daughter centrioles per cell in the biopsy specimens of Bowen's disease and squamous cell carcinoma. Centrosome duplication cycle was dysregulated and multiple centrioles were observed in so-called "clumping cells" of Bowen's disease. In clumping cells, the number of mother and daughter centrioles are almost same, which indicated that cytokinesis failure causes the formation of "clumping cells". We found that Aurora-A kinase was overexpressed in "clumping cells". So we established transgenic mice that overexpress Aurora-A kinase specifically in the epidermis. In these mice, binuclear cells were found in the basal layer of epidermis, suggesting that Aurora-A overexpression is associated with the pathogenesis of Bowen's disease.

    The tight junction is one of the characteristic structures in epithelial cells, from which cancer is derived, and works as a barrier to restrict the free diffusion of solutes through the intercellular space. In this study, we investigated the molecular structure and function of tight junctions. We found that the artificial modification of the barrier property of tight junctions accelerates growth of intestinal epithelial cells and results in enlargement of the intestine. We also clarified for the first time the molecular constituents of tricellular contacts.

    In vitro で繊毛形成を誘導した時の繊毛上皮における遺伝子発現の変化を網羅的に解析する事で、繊毛形成および中心体複製の制御に関わる因子の探索を行った。繊毛上皮の発生過程における種々のタイミングで特徴的な遺伝子発現パターンを示す遺伝子を複数単離し、中心体とcentriolar satellitesの双方に局在する新規蛋白と、繊毛の先端に局在する新規蛋白について解析を進めた。 1)新規蛋白p110は繊毛細胞および精子に特異的に発現し、繊毛を持つ単細胞生物から哺乳類まで幅広く保存されている蛋白であった。 p100はcentriolar satellitesを構成するPCM-1蛋白と直接結合しcentriolar satellitesに局在するだけでなく、基底小体のproximal側にも存在する事を示した。また、p100の過剰発現によりcentriolar satellitesがdisassembleされる事を示した。これらの結果はp110が繊毛形成に必須の蛋白である事を強く示唆している。 2)新規蛋白sentanが繊毛の先端に局在する事を示した。繊毛のaxonemeを構成する微小管のうち外側の微小管はdoublet構造を取っているが、先端付近ではB tubuleが先に終止し、A tubuleのsingletが先端まで伸びて、central微小管と結合している。免疫電顕によりsentan蛋白がsinglet A tubuleと細胞膜を繋ぐ構造に局在する事を示した。また、sentan蛋白が細胞膜脂質成分のうちphosphatidylserineと特異的に結合する事を示した。これまで、繊毛の先端構造を作る蛋白は全く同定されておらず、sentanが初めて同定された蛋白となる。

    これまでに、centriolar satellitesが微小管上をダイニンにより運動し中心体周辺に集積する新規非膜系オルガネラである事、中心体の複製・成熟にcentriolar satellitesが必要であることを明らかにしてきた。また、繊毛細胞に於ける中心子複製および繊毛形成時に重要な役割を果たすとされてきたfibrous granulesと呼ばれる未知の構造物がcentriolar satellitesと同一のオルガネラであることを示してきた。今回の研究ではまず、centriolar satellites構成蛋白であるPCM-1のドメイン解析を行い、PCM-1同士のhomophilicな結合に必要な部位を二ヶ所同定した。同定した部位を元にしてPCM-1同士の結合を特異的に阻害するペプチドを作成した。PCM-1同士の結合を阻害すると、centriolar satellitesが観察できなくなった。現在までに得られた他の知見と合わせて、PCM-1蛋白がcentriolar satellitesのscattered proteinであると結論づけられた。 一方、繊毛上皮におけるcilia形成においてcentriolar satellitesが果たす役割を解析するために、マウス気管上皮細胞を用いて、繊毛上皮のprimary cultureの系を確立し、既知の中心体関連蛋白質の繊毛上皮形成の過程における発現変化、局在変化について詳細に解析した。また、繊毛上皮形成過程における遺伝子発現変化をGene chipを用いて網羅的に解析する事で、centriolar satellitesと中心体の双方に局在する新規蛋白を単離した。現在この新規蛋白について解析を進めている。

    In multicellular organisms, the internal environment must be isolated and buffered against the external environment, and further divided into various compositionally distinct fluid compartments. This compartmentalization is established by cellular sheets of epithelia delineating the body surface and cavities. For epithelial cellular sheets to function as barriers, there must be some seal to the diffusion of solutes through the paracellular pathway. Tight junctions(TJs) have teen shown to be responsible for this intercellular sealing in vertebrates. Recent identification of claudins, cell adhesion molecules responsible for the TJ barrier, opened a new way to perturb individual compartments, and to evaluate the physiological relevance of each compartment at a whole body level. To date, 24 members of the claudin family have been identified in human/mouse, and these are reported to be expressed in individual cell layers in various combinations and mixing ratios. It has been shown that a particular compartment can be destroyed, when the gene for major species of claudins constituting TJs of its delineating epithelial cell layer is homozygously knocked out in mice. In this project, we generated and reported claudin-1-and claudin-5-deflcient mice. Claudin-1 is expressed in large amounts in the epidermis, and claudin-1-deficient mice showed severe dysfunction of the epidermal barrier, being dehydrated quickly after birth. Endothelial cells of brain blood vessels primarily express claudin-5, and in claudin-5-deficient mice, the blood-brain barrier was severely affected. Now we can discuss the relationship of claudins with the compartmentalization in vertebrates.

    More than 90% of malignant tumors are derived from the epithelium. Thus, in this project, we focused on the analyses of tight junctions and ERM proteins to clarify the nature of the. epithelium. Major results are as follows: 1. Claudin-1-deficient mice were generated. Their epidermal barrier was affected, and the proliferation of epidermal cells appeared to be abnormal. 2. Claudin-5-deficient mice were generated. Their blood-brain barrier was affected in a size-dependent manner. This finding was intriguing from the viewpoint of drug deliver to the brain tumors. 3. The dynamic behavior of claudin-based tight junction strands was successfully observed in live cells. Their behavior was more dynamic than ever expected. 4. Snail, a transcription factor, plays a key role in the epithelial-mesenchymal transition, which is important in the metastasis of cancer cells. We found that Snail completely repressed the transcription of occludin and claudins through its direct binding to the E-boxes of the promoter regions of these genes. 5. Claudin-1 was shown to be overexpressed in human colon cancer (in collaboration with Prof. Nakamura's group). 6. We established the system, in which a certain gene can be double-knocked out in cultured epithelial cells. With this system, an epithelial cell line lacking the expression of ZO-1 and ZO-2 was established. 7. The structure of the gene product of NF2, an ERM-like tumor suppressor gene, was clarified by X-ray diffraction analyses (in collaboration with Prof.Hakozaki's group).

    1.PCM-1のドミナントネガティブ変異体によるcentriolar satellitesの機能・構造解析 PCM-1蛋白はcentriolar satellitesのscaffold proteinであることをこれまでの研究で示してきた。今回PCM-1蛋白同士の結合を担う部位を同定した。このPCM-1同士の結合を担う部分のペプチドを細胞に高発現させるとcentriolar satellitesを分解する事ができた。このペプチドによりendogenousなPCM-1同士の結合が阻害される事でcentriolar satellitesが分解すると考えられる。Centriolar satellitesが分解された細胞はPCM-1をRNAiによりknock-downした細胞とほぼ同じphenotype(中心体のpericentrin量の減少、細胞周期停止)を示した。これらの結果から、PCM-1蛋白がcentriolar satellitesという構造を取ることが、その機能発現に必須であることが示された。 2.ツーハイブリ法によるPCM-1結合蛋白の探索 PCM-1蛋白の各ドメインをbaitとしてツーハイブリ法を行い、PCM-1結合蛋白を探索した。いくつかのcandidateについて、タグをつけて細胞に発現させ、その局在を検討した。また、可能性のあるものについて抗体を作成し、細胞内局在およびPCM-1との結合を検討中である。

    The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is thought to protect the brain from various harmful materials circulating in the blood. On the other hand, BBB prevents many potential drugs from entering the central nervous system (CNS). Many researchers have therefore tried to loosen the BBB for therapeutic purposes in various CNS disorders, but limited information on the molecular basis for BBB has hampered these trials. To establishment of the BBB, well-developed tight junctions (TJs) between adjacent endothelial cells are indispensable, in addition to various transporters in their plasma membranes. Recently, claudin-5 was identified as a major TJ cell adhesion molecule in brain endothelial cells. Here we show that in claudin-5-deficient mice, BBB is loosened in a size-selective manner. In the brain of these mice, the morphology/development of blood vessels was not altered, and TJs consisting of claudin-12 remained in the endothelial cells. Tracer experiments and magnetic resonance imaging revealed that in the claudin-5-deficient brain, the BBB against small molecules (<800 Da), but not larger molecules, was selectively affected. These findings not only provide new insight into the basic molecular physiology of BBB but also improve drug delivery methods.
