Transcription Factor CTIP1/ BCL11A Regulates Epidermal Differentiation and Lipid Metabolism During Skin Development

Abstract: The epidermal permeability barrier (EPB) prevents organisms from dehydration and infection. The transcriptional regulation of EPB development is poorly understood. We demonstrate here that transcription factor COUP-TF-interacting protein 1 (CTIP1/BCL11A; hereafter CTIP1) is highly expressed in the developing murine epidermis. Germline deletion of Ctip1 (Ctip1 −/−) results in EPB defects accompanied by compromised epidermal differentiation, drastic reduction in profilaggrin processing, reduced lamellar bodies i… Show more

“…These results are inconsistent with the notion that the methylation of promoter or gene body DNA is correlated with gene expression [ 27 , 28 ]. However, our results are consistent with the findings reported in other recent WGBS studies [ 29 , 42 ], in which the regulation of methylation and expression is diverse. This is likely due to the fact that the methylation differences observed were predominantly found in the introns of CGI in the present study (Additional file 2 : Table S3).…”

“…GREM1, an inhibitor of BMP, has been implicated as a key regulator during HF development [ 9 , 41 ]. The SPTLC3 gene encodes lipid-metabolizing enzymes in the ceramide biosynthesis pathway [ 42 ], and has been associated with lipid metabolism in epidermal tissue. The COL5A1 gene functions to orchestrate reorganization within the skin structure, and knockouts of COL5A1 resulted in an increased skin stretching phenotype in mice [ 43 ].…”

“…Regarding the mTOR gene set, the MTOR gene is itself an intellectual disability gene that has been intimately linked to brain development 84,85 . Regarding the cholesterol metabolism gene set, the brain contains approximately 25% of the body's cholesterol (mostly as a component of the myelin sheaths that surround axons) 86,87 with defects in brain cholesterol metabolism being linked to central nervous system disease 88,89 , and BCL11A has recently been shown to influence (and be influenced by) lipid levels [90][91][92] . Furthermore, the cholesterol metabolism and mTOR gene-set enrichments may be related, as mTOR has been linked to cholesterol metabolism 93 , including in the developing brain 94 .…”
