Abstract

SLURP1 and SLURP2 are both small secreted members of the Ly6/u-PAR family of proteins and are highly expressed in keratinocytes. Loss-of-function mutations in SLURP1 lead to a rare autosomal recessive palmoplantar keratoderma (PPK), Mal de Meleda (MdM), which is characterized by diffuse, yellowish palmoplantar hyperkeratosis. Some individuals with MdM experience pain in conjunction with the hyperkeratosis that has been attributed to fissures or microbial superinfection within the affected skin. By comparison, other hereditary PPKs such as pachyonychia congenita and Olmsted syndrome show prevalent pain in PPK lesions. Two mouse models of MdM, Slurp1 knock-out and Slurp2X knock-out, exhibit robust PPK in all four paws. However, whether the sensory experience of these animals includes augmented pain sensitivity remains unexplored. In this study, we demonstrate that both models exhibit hypersensitivity to mechanical and thermal stimuli as well as spontaneous pain behaviors in males and females. Anatomical analysis revealed slightly reduced glabrous skin epidermal innervation and substantial alterations in palmoplantar skin immune composition in Slurp2X knock-out mice. Primary sensory neurons innervating hindpaw glabrous skin from Slurp2X knock-out mice exhibit increased incidence of spontaneous activity and mechanical hypersensitivity both in vitro and in vivo. Thus, Slurp knock-out mice exhibit polymodal PPK-associated pain that is associated with both immune alterations and neuronal hyperexcitability and might therefore be useful for the identification of therapeutic targets to treat PPK-associated pain.

摘要

SLURP1 和 SLURP2 都是 Ly6/u-PAR 蛋白家族的小分泌成员,在角质形成细胞中高度表达。SLURP1 的功能丧失突变导致罕见的常染色体隐性掌跖角化过度症(PPK),即 Mal de Meleda(MdM),其特征是弥漫性、黄色掌跖过度角化。一些患有 MdM 的人会因过度角化而感到疼痛,这种疼痛归因于受影响皮肤中的裂缝或微生物继发感染。相比之下,其他遗传性 PPK,如先天性厚甲症和 Olmsted 综合征,在 PPK 病变中普遍存在疼痛。Slurp1 敲除和 Slurp2X 敲除两种 MdM 小鼠模型在所有四个爪子中都表现出强烈的 PPK。然而,这些动物的感觉体验是否包括增强的疼痛敏感性仍未得到探索。在这项研究中,我们证明这两种模型都表现出对机械和热刺激以及雄性和雌性自发性疼痛行为的超敏反应。解剖分析显示,Slurp2X 敲除小鼠的无毛皮肤表皮神经支配略有减少,掌跖皮肤免疫组成发生实质性改变。来自 Slurp2X 敲除小鼠后爪无毛皮肤的感觉神经元表现出自发性活动和机械超敏反应的发生率增加,无论是在体外还是体内。因此,Slurp 敲除小鼠表现出多模态 PPK 相关疼痛,与免疫改变和神经元过度兴奋有关,因此可能有助于确定治疗 PPK 相关疼痛的治疗靶点。
