项目摘要

Abstract Tissue regeneration therapy is a major endeavour in modern biology. Its success is dependent upon our ability to control cell fate decisions in adult tissue stem cells (SCs). Intrinsic genome plasticity and the crosstalk between SCs and their environment are important factors in cell fate decisions. Specialized epigenetic states, and particularly the genomic distribution and overall levels of covalent histone modifications (e.g. acetylation, methylation), are important for SC fates and for disease. Many small molecule inhibitors have been developed over the past decade to perturb histone modification levels, and some have already been implemented as cancer drugs in clinical trials. However, little has been done to manipulate levels of histone methylation in adult tissue SCs for possible control of tissue regeneration. Recently, we reported a global hypomethylation of histone H3 K4/9/27me3 that occurs at catagen in mouse skin, including in the quiescent hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs). Based on our preliminary data we hypothesize that perturbation of H3 K4/9/27me3 levels allows manipulation of tissue regeneration by engaging with signalling pathways essential in quiescent SCs. Here we use a combination of small molecule targeting and our newly developed mouse genetic tools to manipulate the levels of H3 K4/9/27me3 in adult mouse skin, and examine effects on tissue regeneration (e.g. hair follicle cycle and wound healing). We also begin to examine molecular mechanisms upstream and downstream of H3 K4/9/27me3 levels in HFSCs. In particular, we address for the first time in an adult mouse tissue in vivo the difference between steady state mRNA levels and nascent RNA levels and establish the direct link with histone methylation levels. Our work has implications for understanding the basic science of genome plasticity in quiescent tissue SCs and for examining the use of epigenetics-targeting drugs to skin and hair follicle regenerative therapies.

抽象的组织再生疗法是现代生物学的主要努力。它的成功取决于我们的能力控制成人组织干细胞（SC）中的细胞命运决策。固有的基因组可塑性和串扰 SC及其环境之间是细胞命运决策的重要因素。专业表观遗传状态，特别是基因组分布和共价组蛋白修饰的总体水平（例如，乙酰化，甲基化），对于SC命运和疾病很重要。已经开发了许多小分子抑制剂在过去的十年中临床试验中的癌症药物。但是，几乎没有采取任何行动来操纵成人的组蛋白甲基化水平组织SCS可能控制组织再生。最近，我们报道了全球降压组蛋白H3 K4/9/27ME3发生在小鼠皮肤中的Catagen，包括在静态毛囊干细胞中（HFSC）。根据我们的初步数据，我们假设H3 K4/9/27ME3级别的扰动允许通过与静态SC中必不可少的信号通路互动来操纵组织再生。我们在这里使用小分子靶向和我们新开发的小鼠遗传工具的组合来操纵成年小鼠皮肤中H3 K4/9/27me3的水平，并检查对组织再生的影响（例如毛囊周期和伤口愈合）。我们还开始检查H3上游和下游的分子机制 HFSC中的K4/9/27me3水平。特别是，我们在体内首次解决成年小鼠组织稳态mRNA水平和新生RNA水平之间的差异，并与组蛋白建立直接联系甲基化水平。我们的工作对理解基因组可塑性的基础科学具有影响静态组织SCS，用于检查涉及表观遗传学的药物对皮肤和毛囊的使用再生疗法。
