项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Upon injury, the skin epidermis must undergo immediate repair mechanism to restore its barrier function to prevent dehydration and invasion of harmful pathogens. Wound repair of the skin epidermis involves activation, migration, proliferation, and differentiation of keratinocytes. In particular, the re-epithelialization of the wounded area requires skin epithelial stem cells, which migrate in both from the surrounding epidermis and also from the hair follicle. However, very little is known about the signals that activate stem cell migration and the molecular mechanisms directing their migration during wound repair. How do hair follicle stem cells respond to wound signals? What are the signaling pathways that direct stem cell migration during wound repair? Which population(s) of epithelial stem cells is responsible for repairing the epidermis and generation of new hair follicles? In this research plan, I propose to: (1) Identify the cells within the hair follicle that contribute to wound repair; (2) Purify and characterize the cells within the hair follicle that contribute to wound repair; (3) Monitor and characterize cells as they migrate during wound repair; and (4) Perform functional studies on molecules that may be involved in cell migration and re-epithelialization during wound repair. I plan to exploit mouse models that allow lineage tracing of skin stem cells and their progeny during the process of wound healing. This enables characterization and isolation of skin stem cells that contribute to wound repair and generation of new hair follicles. A genome-wide gene profiling will be conducted to examine the changes in gene expression, and to identify molecules and signal pathways that may be involved in migration of the skin stem cells. I will perform further functional assays to validate the participation of the candidate molecules in the migration process. Findings from this research plan will contribute to our understanding of the molecular mechanism of skin stem cell migration upon injury and provide answers to many fundamental questions in the stem cell field.

描述（申请人提供）：皮肤表皮受到损伤后，必须立即进行修复机制，恢复其屏障功能，防止脱水和有害病原体的入侵。皮肤表皮的伤口修复涉及角质形成细胞的激活、迁移、增殖和分化。特别是，受伤区域的上皮再生需要皮肤上皮干细胞，这些干细胞从周围的表皮和毛囊迁移进来。然而，人们对激活干细胞迁移的信号以及在伤口修复过程中指导干细胞迁移的分子机制知之甚少。毛囊干细胞如何响应伤口信号？在伤口修复过程中指导干细胞迁移的信号通路有哪些？哪些上皮干细胞群负责修复表皮和生成新毛囊？在这个研究计划中，我建议：（1）识别毛囊内有助于伤口修复的细胞； (2) 纯化并表征毛囊内有助于伤口修复的细胞； (3) 监测和表征伤口修复过程中细胞的迁移； (4) 对伤口修复过程中可能参与细胞迁移和再上皮化的分子进行功能研究。我计划利用小鼠模型来追踪伤口愈合过程中皮肤干细胞及其后代的谱系。这使得能够表征和分离有助于伤口修复和新毛囊生成的皮肤干细胞。将进行全基因组基因分析，以检查基因表达的变化，并识别可能参与皮肤干细胞迁移的分子和信号通路。我将进行进一步的功能测定，以验证候选分子在迁移过程中的参与。该研究计划的结果将有助于我们了解皮肤干细胞损伤后迁移的分子机制，并为干细胞领域的许多基本问题提供答案。
