Characterization of angiotensin-converting enzyme expression during epidermis morphogenesis in humans: a potential marker for epidermal stem cells

et al.

Abstract: Our results suggest that ACE may play a role in human epidermis morphogenesis during fetal life and serve as an unrecognized marker for keratinocyte progenitor cells.

“…In the early stages of epidermal development, mitotic activity occurs in all the epidermal layers; however, when differentiation begins, mitotic activity becomes restricted to the cells of the basal layer [ 17 ]. Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE), keratin 19, β1-integrin, and p63 were used as stem cell markers in examining the various developmental stages of fetal skin by double IF [ 19 ]. The expression of ACE, β1-integrin, keratin 19, and p63 was seen in all epidermal layers of the developing fetal skin at 11–20 weeks of gestation.…”

“…The digested cells were then spun to remove the supernatant, and the pellets were suspended and seeded into a six-well culture plate in DMEM/ F12 medium containing 4 ng/ml bFGF (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA). To identify ESCs, isolated cells were detected using a flow cytometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA) with following antibodies: integrin b1 (ab179471, Abcam, Cambridge, UK), keratin 19 (ab191208, Abcam, Cambridge, UK) and keratin 10 (ab76318, Abcam, Cambridge, UK) using a method as previously reported [12,13]. The percentages of integrin b1and KRT19-positive cells were greater than 85%, and the percentage of KRT10positive cells was lesser than 10%.…”

“…Cytokeratin-19 (CK19) is commonly used as a marker of most neuroendocrine and gastrointestinal tumors [20]. CK19 is also known to be a stem cell marker in the liver [21, 22], pancreas [23], and epidermis [24]. In contrast, cytokeratin-14 (CK14), although not as well known as CK19, is used as a marker of the oral epithelium [25-27] and is considered to be a marker of maturation of the epithelial lining [26-28].…”
