Abstract [en]

Difficult-to-heal wounds management accounts for about 4% of healthcare costs, highlighting the need for innovative solutions. Extracellular signals drive cell proliferation during tissue regeneration, while epigenetic mechanisms regulate stem cell homeostasis, differentiation, and skin repair. Exploring epigenetic regulation in adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) holds promise for improving skin injury treatments. We investigated the effects of histone deacetylase inhibitor (SAHA) on ADSCs to better understand its cellular and molecular impacts. ADSCs were treated with SAHA for 72 h, showing no change in cell viability at the studied concentrations. However, the expression of histone deacetylase decreased at 1000 nM, while the cell proliferation marker Ki-67 increased after SAHA treatment, as confirmed by immunofluorescence. CCND1 gene expression increased, whereas protein expression of the proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) decreased. Cell cycle analysis showed an increase in G2 phase in SAHA-treated cells. Microarray analysis revealed 74 upregulated and 40 downregulated differentially expressed genes, including upregulation of P53 targets, CDKN1A and MDM2. Proteomic analysis identified 631 upregulated and 823 downregulated proteins compared to the vehicle. Pathway enrichment analysis showed cell cycle, ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling and DNA processes were among the affected pathways. This study suggests SAHA modulates ADSCs' biological processes, highlighting its potential for skin regeneration.

Abstract [en]

The treatment of chronic or hard-to-heal skin wounds remains a significant challenge in healthcare, with an estimated annual cost of approximately 60 billion euros in Europe for wound management.

Cutaneous wound healing requires coordinated activation of stem cells, epidermal cells, and extracellular signaling networks. While most wounds are resolved efficiently, impaired healing remains a major clinical challenge. Increasing evidence suggests that regenerative capacity is governed not only by cellular presence but by dynamic regulation of gene regulatory programs.

This thesis investigates how epigenetic modulation influences regenerative behavior in adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) and keratinocytes in a wound-healing context. By targeting histone acetylation using the histone deacetylase inhibitor, SAHA, and analyzing microRNA-mediated regulation. In parallel, proteomic analyses were performed to explore the skin proteome using the Total Protein tissue Extraction reagent (TPER) as an efficient isolation method in clinical settings.

The findings demonstrate that SAHA modulates ASCs behavior by altering chromatin structure, DNA replication, and cell fate determination. The microRNA-based approach showed that key signaling pathways, such as those involving epidermal growth factor (EGF) and interleukin-1 alpha (IL-1α), are implicated in promoting skin cell proliferation and repair. Furthermore, skin proteomic analyses, including TPER reagent for protein isolation, may enhance clinical wound treatment.

Together, these results advance the understanding of the interplay between gene regulation and protein function in skin healing and the development of skin regeneration future therapies.

Abstract [sv]

Behandling av kroniska eller svårläkta sår är fortfarande en betydande utmaning inom hälso- och sjukvården. I Europa uppskattas den årliga kostnaden för sårbehandling till cirka 60 miljarder euro.

Hudens sårläkning är en komplex process som kräver samordnad aktivering av stamceller, epidermala celler och extracellulära signalsystem. Även om de flesta sår läker effektivt utgör försämrad sårläkning fortfarande en stor klinisk utmaning. Forskning visar i allt högre grad att vävnadens regenerativa kapacitet inte enbart beror på vilka celler som finns närvarande, utan även på hur genuttrycket regleras dynamiskt.

Denna avhandling undersöker hur epigenetisk reglering påverkar regenerativ kapacitet hos stamceller från fettvävnad (ASC) och keratinocyter vid sårläkning. Fokus har varit på histonacetylering med hjälp av histondeacetylashämmaren Vorinostat samt analys av mikroRNA-medierad genreglering. Parallellt genomfördes proteomikanalyser för att undersöka proteinprofiler med hjälp av Total Protein Extraction Reagent (TPER) som en potentiellt effektiv metod för proteinisolering i kliniska miljöer.

Resultaten visar att Vorinostat påverkar stamceller från fettvävnad genom att förändra kromatinstrukturen, DNA-replikationen och cellernas differentiering. Studier av mikroRNA visade att viktiga signalvägar, inklusive de som involverar epidermal tillväxtfaktor (EGF) och interleukin-1 alfa (IL-1α), spelar en viktig roll för att främja hudcellers proliferation och reparation. Dessutom visade proteomikanalyser att TPER kan vara en lovande metod inom klinisk sårbehandling.

Sammantaget bidrar resultaten till en ökad förståelse för samspelet mellan genreglering och proteinfunktion vid hudläkning och kan bidra till utvecklingen av framtida behandlingar.
