Clustering revealed 8 fibroblast populations with changes in developmental stage-specific abundance. Proliferative cells (MKI67+) were present at all stages. The appearance of dermal papilla (PRDM1+) and hair follicle (SLC26A7+) fibroblasts coincided with hair follicle maturation, whereas fibroblasts (apolipoprotein E positive) specifically associated with blood vessels increased in abundance as the vessels developed. HOXC5 was a marker of the most abundant fibroblasts 7-8 weeks after conception; this cluster was diminished 9-13 weeks after conception and undetectable subsequently. A second population (PLAT+) decreased in abundance with the same kinetics. Fibroblasts corresponding to papillary dermis (GRP+) were predominant 9-13 weeks after conception, whereas reticular dermal fibroblasts (ASPN+) were the major cluster 14-16 weeks after conception. Partition-based graph abstraction and pseudotime analysis indicated that the HOXC5+ fibroblasts were closely connected with the papillary and hair follicle fibroblasts, whereas the PLAT+ fibroblasts were connected with reticular and vascular fibroblasts. Dermal papilla fibroblasts were the most highly differentiated. Integration of fetal and adult datasets distinguished the adult and fetal papillary clusters from the reticular clusters.</p>","PeriodicalId":94239,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of investigative dermatology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143070389","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many compounds and biotics have been developed to target molecules critical to the etiology or pathogenesis of contact hypersensitivity and atopic dermatitis. However, these molecules are sometimes ineffective or lose their potency during the therapeutic course. Therefore, innovative medicines are still needed for the treatment of intractable cases. We focused on S100A8/A9, a heterodimer complex of S100A8 and S100A9 that is abundant in the extracellular milieu of inflammatory skin lesions. Although S100A8/A9 is primarily recognized as a diagnostic marker protein, we have previously shown that it also plays a crucial role in contact hypersensitivity and atopic dermatitis progression. This insight inspired us to develop its inhibitory antibody, leading to the ground-breaking Ab45. In this study, we demonstrated that Ab45 effectively prevented disease symptoms in various models and that its disease-ameliorating activity likely involved the downregulation of several disease-relevant molecules, including Il-23a, Il-36g, S100a8, and S100a9. We also created a humanized version of Ab45, HuAb45, which exhibited similar effectiveness.
