PURPOSE: Histone variant H2A.J is associated with premature senescence after ionizing radiation (IR) and modulates senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). Using constitutive H2A.J knock-out mice, the role of H2A.J was investigated in radiation dermatitis.
METHODS AND MATERIALS: H2A.J wild-type (WT) and knock-out (KO) mice were exposed to moderate or high IR doses (≤20 Gy, skinfold IR). Radiation-induced skin reactions were investigated up to 2 weeks post-IR at macroscopic and microscopic levels. H2A.J and other senescence markers, as well as DNA damage and proliferation markers, were studied by immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, and electron microscopy. After high-dose IR, protein-coding transcriptomes were analyzed by RNA sequencing, immune cell infiltration by flow cytometry, and gene expression by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction in (non-) irradiated WT versus KO skin.
RESULTS: In WT skin, epidermal keratinocytes showed time- and dose-dependent H2A.J accumulation after IR exposure. Unexpectedly, stronger inflammatory reactions with increased epidermal thickness and progressive hair follicle loss were observed in irradiated KO versus WT skin. Clearly more radiation-induced senescence was observed in keratinocyte populations of KO skin after moderate and high doses, with hair follicle stem cells being particularly badly damaged, leading to follicle atrophy. After high-dose IR, transcriptomic analysis revealed enhanced senescence-associated signatures in irradiated KO skin, with intensified release of SASP factors. Flow cytometric analysis indicated increased immune cell infiltration in both WT and KO skin; however, specific chemokine-mediated signaling in irradiated KO skin led to more neutrophil recruitment, thereby aggravating radiation toxicities. Increased skin damage in irradiated KO skin led to hyperproliferation, abnormal differentiation, and cornification of keratinocytes, accompanied by increased upregulation of transcription-factor JunB.
CONCLUSIONS: Lack of radiation-induced H2A.J expression in keratinocytes is associated with increased senescence induction, modulation of SASP expression, and exacerbated inflammatory skin reactions. Hence, epigenetic H2A.J-mediated gene expression in response to IR regulates keratinocyte immune functions and plays an essential role in balancing the inflammatory response during radiation dermatitis.
