The cells were 4% formaldehyde fixed (10 min) and then incubated in 1%BSA / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h to permeabilise the cells and block non-specific protein-protein interactions. The cells were then incubated with the antibody (ab68, 1μg/ml) overnight at +4°C. The secondary antibody (green) was Alexa Fluor® 488 goat anti-mouse IgG (H+L) used at a 1/1000 dilution for 1h. Alexa Fluor® 594 WGA was used to label plasma membranes (red) at a 1/200 dilution for 1h. DAPI was used to stain the cell nuclei (blue) at a concentration of 1.43μM.

KLC (keratinocyte-like cells) have the capacity to stratify

Human skin was decellularized and confirmed complete cell removal by H&E staining. ASC (human adipose-derived stem cells) were seeded on the epithelial side of human dermal decellularized matrices in the presence or absence of EGF (0.005 μg/mL). Human dermal decellularized matrices seeded with keratinocytes were used as controls. All three groups were kept in the same media conditions and lifted to an air-liquid interphase at the same time. Histological analysis revealed the presence of several layers of KLC with an organization similar to that of keratinocytes (A.1and 3). Surprisingly, ASC without EGF not only did not transdifferentiate into KLC, but instead migrated inside the matrix (A.2). Immunohistochemical analysis revealed a positive staining of cytokeratin-5 (B.3), cytokeratin-10 (C.3) and Involucrin (D.3) in stratified KLC matrices comparable to that of the stratified keratinocyte matrix (A, B, C and D.1). No positive staining was found in the ASC seeded matrices (A, B, C and D.2).

Overlay histogram showing A431 cells stained with ab68 (red line). The cells were fixed with 80% methanol (5 min) and then permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Tween for 20 min. The cells were then incubated in 1x PBS / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine to block non-specific protein-protein interactions followed by the antibody (ab68, 1μg/1x106 cells) for 30 min at 22°C. The secondary antibody used was DyLight® 488 goat anti-mouse IgG (H&L) (ab96879) at 1/500 dilution for 30 min at 22°C. Isotype control antibody (black line) was mouse IgG1 [ICIGG1] (ab91353, 2μg/1x106 cells) used under the same conditions. Unlabelled sample (blue line) was also used as a control. Acquisition of >5,000 events were collected using a 20mW Argon ion laser (488nm) and 525/30 bandpass filter. This antibody gave a positive signal in A431 cells fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (10 min)/permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Tween for 20 min used under the same conditions.

Supplementary information

Involucrin also known as involucrine envocrin or ivrn is a protein with a mass of approximately 68 kDa. You will find involucrin expressed mainly in the suprabasal layers of the stratified squamous epithelia including epidermis tongue and esophagus. This protein becomes cross-linked to form the cornified cell envelope (CCE) in the upper layers of the skin an essential structure for epidermal differentiation and maintenance of skin barrier function.
Biological function summary

Involucrin serves as a critical substrate in the formation of the CCE by providing reactive sites for cross-linking with other proteins like loricrin and small proline-rich proteins. This cross-linking process occurs due to the action of transglutaminases which bond glutamine residues of involucrin with lysine residues in other proteins reinforcing the skin's protective barrier. Involucrin is a part of the protein network integral to keratinocyte terminal differentiation playing a distinctive role in the formation of a resilient and impermeable skin surface.

Pathways

Involucrin contributes directly within the epidermal differentiation complex (EDC) supporting the skin barrier's structural stability and resilience. The protein prominently acts in the terminal differentiation pathway in conjunction with other structural proteins such as filaggrin and keratins. This pathway forms a protective barrier that resists mechanical stress and environmental insults functioning together to provide a robust defense against external factors.

Involucrin's role is highlighted in conditions like psoriasis and ichthyosis where skin barrier formation is disrupted. Aberrant expression or modification of involucrin can lead to compromised barrier integrity leading to these skin disorders. It relates closely to filaggrin in these conditions as both are essential for barrier function and mutations in these proteins can exacerbate skin pathologies. Understanding these connections helps us evaluate potential therapeutic strategies for skin barrier-related diseases.
