Description:
Fibroblasts are the major mesenchymal cell type in connective tissue and deposit the collagen and elastic fibres of the extracellular matrix (ECM). Even within a single tissue, fibroblasts exhibit considerable functional diversity, but it is not known whether this reflects the existence of a differentiation hierarchy or is a response to different environmental factors. Here we show, using transplantation assays and lineage tracing in mice, that the fibroblasts of skin connective tissue arise from two distinct lineages. One forms the upper dermis, including the dermal papilla that regulates hair growth and the arrector pili muscle, which controls piloerection. The other forms the lower dermis, including the reticular fibroblasts that synthesize the bulk of the fibrillar ECM, and the preadipocytes and adipocytes of the hypodermis. The upper lineage is required for hair follicle formation. In wounded adult skin, the initial wave of dermal repair is mediated by the lower lineage and upper dermal fibroblasts are recruited only during re-epithelialization. Epidermal beta-catenin activation stimulates the expansion of the upper dermal lineage, rendering wounds permissive for hair follicle formation. Our findings explain why wounding is linked to formation of ECM-rich scar tissue that lacks hair follicles. They also form a platform for discovering fibroblast lineages in other tissues and for examining fibroblast changes in ageing and disease.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3868929/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉 〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3868929/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Driskell, Ryan R -- Lichtenberger, Beate M -- Hoste, Esther -- Kretzschmar, Kai -- Simons, Ben D -- Charalambous, Marika -- Ferron, Sacri R -- Herault, Yann -- Pavlovic, Guillaume -- Ferguson-Smith, Anne C -- Watt, Fiona M -- 079249/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- 092096/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- 095606/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- 096540/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- 098357/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- G0600796/Medical Research Council/United Kingdom -- Department of Health/United Kingdom -- Medical Research Council/United Kingdom -- Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- England -- Nature. 2013 Dec 12;504(7479):277-81. doi: 10.1038/nature12783.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉1] Wellcome Trust Centre for Stem Cell Research, University of Cambridge, Cambridge CB2 1QR, UK [2] Centre for Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine, King's College London, 28th floor, Tower Wing, Guy's Hospital, London SE1 9RT, UK. ; 1] Wellcome Trust Centre for Stem Cell Research, University of Cambridge, Cambridge CB2 1QR, UK [2] Centre for Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine, King's College London, 28th floor, Tower Wing, Guy's Hospital, London SE1 9RT, UK [3]. ; 1] Centre for Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine, King's College London, 28th floor, Tower Wing, Guy's Hospital, London SE1 9RT, UK [2] Cancer Research UK Cambridge Research Institute, Li Ka Shing Centre, Robinson Way, Cambridge CB2 0RE, UK [3]. ; Department of Physics, Cavendish Laboratory, University of Cambridge, Cambridge CB3 0HE, UK. ; Department of Physiology, Development and Neuroscience, University of Cambridge, Cambridge CB2 3EG, UK. ; Institut Clinique de la Souris, Parc d'Innovation, 67404 Illkrich-Graffenstaden, Cedex, France. ; Centre for Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine, King's College London, 28th floor, Tower Wing, Guy's Hospital, London SE1 9RT, UK.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24336287" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
