Journals Aging Cell Volume 11 Issue 1

Summary Aged epidermal cells have the capacity to dedifferentiate into stem cell‐like cells. However, the signals that regulate the dedifferentiation of aged epidermal cells remain unclear. Here, we provide evidence that Wnt/β‐catenin is critical for aged epidermal cell dedifferentiation in vivo and in vitro. Some aged epidermal cells in human ultrathin epidermal sheets lacking basal stem cells transplanted onto wounds dedifferentiated into stem cell‐like cells that were positive for CK19 and β1 integrin but negative for CK10. In addition, Wnt/β‐catenin pathway was activated during this process. There was increased expression of Wnt‐1, Wnt‐4, Wnt‐7a, β‐catenin, cyclin D1, and c‐myc. Secreted frizzled‐related protein 1, a Wnt/β‐catenin pathway inhibitor, blocked dedifferentiation in vivo. Then, the activator, a highly specific glycogen synthase kinase (GSK)‐3β inhibitor, of Wnt/β‐catenin pathway was added to the culture medium of aged epidermal cells. Surprisingly, we found that the activator induced higher expression of CK19, β1 integrin, Oct4, and Nanog proteins. The induced aged epidermal cells exhibited high colony‐forming efficiency, long‐term proliferative potential and could regenerate a skin equivalent (as do epidermal stem cells). These results suggested that activation of Wnt/β‐catenin pathway induced the dedifferentiation of aged epidermal cells, which suggest a new approach to generate epidermal stem cell‐like cells.
