ABSTRACT
Repair of epithelial defect is complicated by infection and related metabolites. Pyocyanin (PYO) is one such metabolite that is secreted during Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection. Keratinocyte (KC) migration is required for the closure of skin epithelial defects. This work sought to understand PYO-KC interaction and its significance in tissue repair. Stable Isotope Labeling by Amino acids in Cell culture proteomics identified mitochondrial dysfunction as the top pathway responsive to PYO exposure in human KCs. Consistently, functional studies showed mitochondrial stress, depletion of reducing equivalents, and adenosine triphosphate. Strikingly, despite all stated earlier, PYO markedly accelerated KC migration. Investigation of underlying mechanisms revealed, to our knowledge, a previously unreported function of keratin 6A in KCs. Keratin 6A was PYO inducible and accelerated closure of epithelial defect. Acceleration of closure was associated with poor quality healing, including compromised expression of apical junction proteins. This work recognizes keratin 6A for its role in enhancing KC migration under conditions of threat posed by PYO. Qualitatively deficient junctional proteins under conditions of defensive acceleration of KC migration explain why an infected wound close with deficient skin barrier function as previously reported.
