Since both agents also modulate gap junction (GJ)-mediated cell-cell communication, we have examined the effects of all-trans retinoic acid (RA) and 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) on the expression of alpha1 (Cx43) and beta2 (Cx26) connexins, the two major gap junction gene products in mature rat epidermis. In fully differentiated, mature epidermis, alpha1 is expressed in the lower, less differentiated portion, while beta2 is localized in upper, more differentiated layers. Dorsal skin of 21-day old rats was treated topically with a single dose of RA, TPA or vehicle alone and used for histological and molecular analyses at different time points. Keratinocytes in interfollicular epidermis were examined for proliferation and differentiation using specific antibodies for keratins (K10, K14) and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA). An increase in epidermal thickness was noticed within 4 hours after the application of RA or TPA. This increase, however, appeared to be primarily due to hypertrophy, since no substantial changes were observed in the proliferative index of epidermal keratinocytes. PCNA immunoreactivity significantly increased after 8 hours treatment of RA or TPA, suggesting a hyperproliferative growth response. Epidermal hyperplasia was confirmed by monitoring the expression patterns of K10 and K14 in RA- or TPA-treated skin. RA-induced hyperplasia lasted longer as compared to TPA induction. Changes in keratin phenotypes were paralleled by an increase in alpha1 and beta2 connexin expression as well as their colocalization in same epidermal layers. Differences in hyperplastic growth response kinetics were also confirmed at the connexin level, with beta2 antigen sustained for longer and at higher levels in suprabasal layers of RA-treated skin. Overall, this type of connexin expression resembled that observed in the non-differentiated rat epidermis during embryonic development. An increase in alpha1 and beta2 connexin abundance was also observed at the protein and RNA levels. At 96 hours after RA or TPA treatment, expression of both connexins was similar to that of the control epidermis. Taken together, these findings suggest that a higher level of GJ-mediated cell-cell communication, is required for the maintenance of homeostasis during periods of rapid epidermal growth and differentiation."xsd:string |
