The ZFP36 family of zinc finger proteins, including ZFP36, ZFP36L1, and ZFP36L2, regulates the production of growth factors and cytokines via destabilization of the respective mRNAs. We could recently demonstrate that in cultured keratinocytes, expression of the ZFP36, ZFP36L1, and ZFP36L2 genes is induced by growth factors and cytokines and that ZFP36L1 is a potent regulator of keratinocyte VEGF production. We now further analyzed the localization and function of ZFP36 proteins in the skin, specifically in epidermal keratinocytes. We found that in human epidermis, the ZFP36 protein could be detected in basal and suprabasal keratinocytes, whereas ZFP36L1 and ZFP36L2 were expressed mainly in the basal layer, indicating different and non-redundant functions of the three proteins in the epidermis. Consistently, upon inhibition of ZFP36 or ZFP36L1 expression using specific siRNAs, there was no major effect on expression of the respective other gene. In addition, we demonstrate that both ZFP36 and ZFP36L1 influence keratinocyte cell cycle, differentiation, and apoptosis in a distinct manner. Finally, we show that similarly as ZFP36L1, ZFP36 is a potent regulator of keratinocyte VEGF production. Thus, it is likely that both proteins regulate angiogenesis via paracrine mechanisms. Taken together, our results suggest that ZFP36 proteins might control reepithelialization and angiogenesis in the skin in a multimodal manner.

角质形成细胞中ZFP36蛋白的功能分析。

锌指蛋白ZFP36家族(包括ZFP36,ZFP36L1和ZFP36L2)通过使各自的mRNA不稳定来调节生长因子和细胞因子的产生。我们最近可以证明,在培养的角质形成细胞中,ZFP36,ZFP36L1和ZFP36L2基因的表达是由生长因子和细胞因子诱导的,并且ZFP36L1是角质形成细胞VEGF产生的有效调节剂。现在,我们进一步分析了ZFP36蛋白在皮肤中的定位和功能,特别是在表皮角质形成细胞中。我们发现在人表皮中,ZFP36蛋白可以在基底和基底上角质形成细胞中检测到,而ZFP36L1和ZFP36L2主要在基底层中表达,表明这三种蛋白在表皮中的功能不同且具有非冗余功能。始终如一 当使用特异性siRNA抑制ZFP36或ZFP36L1的表达时,对各个其他基因的表达没有重大影响。此外,我们证明ZFP36和ZFP36L1均以不同的方式影响角质形成细胞的细胞周期,分化和凋亡。最后,我们显示出与ZFP36L1类似,ZFP36是角质形成细胞VEGF产生的有效调节剂。因此,两种蛋白都可能通过旁分泌机制调节血管生成。综上所述,我们的结果表明ZFP36蛋白可能以多峰方式控制皮肤的再上皮化和血管生成。并以不同的方式发生凋亡。最后,我们显示出与ZFP36L1类似,ZFP36是角质形成细胞VEGF产生的有效调节剂。因此,两种蛋白都可能通过旁分泌机制调节血管生成。综上所述,我们的结果表明ZFP36蛋白可能以多峰方式控制皮肤的再上皮化和血管生成。并以不同的方式发生凋亡。最后,我们显示出与ZFP36L1类似,ZFP36是角质形成细胞VEGF产生的有效调节剂。因此,两种蛋白都可能通过旁分泌机制调节血管生成。综上所述,我们的结果表明ZFP36蛋白可能以多峰方式控制皮肤的再上皮化和血管生成。
