Abstract
Type VII collagen is the main component of anchoring fibrils, structures that are integral to basement membrane homeostasis in skin. Mutations in the gene encoding type VII collagen COL7A1 cause recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB) an inherited skin blistering condition complicated by frequent aggressive cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC). OATP1B3, which is encoded by the gene SLCO1B3, is a member of the OATP (organic anion transporting polypeptide) superfamily responsible for transporting a wide range of endogenous and xenobiotic compounds. OATP1B3 expression is limited to the liver in healthy tissues, but is frequently detected in multiple cancer types and is reported to be associated with differing clinical outcome. The mechanism and functional significance of tumour-specific expression of OATP1B3 has yet to be determined. Here, we identify SLCO1B3 expression in tumour keratinocytes isolated from RDEB and UV-induced cSCC and demonstrate that SLCO1B3 expression and promoter activity are modulated by type VII collagen. We show that reduction of SLCO1B3 expression upon expression of full-length type VII collagen in RDEB cSCC coincides with acquisition of front-to-rear polarity and increased organisation of 3D spheroid cultures. In addition, we show that type VII collagen positively regulates the abundance of markers implicated in cellular polarity, namely ELMO2, PAR3, E-cadherin, B-catenin, ITGA6 and Ln332.

Abstract
Type VII collagen defects cause recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB), a blistering skin disorder often accompanied by epidermal cancers. To study the role of collagen VII in these cancers, we examined Ras-driven tumorigenesis in RDEB keratinocytes. Cells devoid of collagen VII did not form tumors in mice, whereas those retaining a specific collagen VII fragment (the amino-terminal noncollagenous domain NC1) were tumorigenic. Forced NC1 expression restored tumorigenicity to collagen VII-null epidermis in a non-cell-autonomous fashion. Fibronectin-like sequences within NC1 (FNC1) promoted tumor cell invasion in a laminin 5-dependent manner and were required for tumorigenesis. Tumor-stroma interactions mediated by collagen VII thus promote neoplasia, and retention of NC1 sequences in a subset of RDEB patients may contribute to their increased susceptibility to squamous cell carcinoma.

Abstract
Dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (DEB) is a family of inherited mechano-bullous disorders that are caused by mutations in the type VII collagen gene and for which ex vivo gene therapy has been considered. To develop a simpler approach for treating DEB, we evaluated the feasibility of protein-based therapy by intradermally injecting human recombinant type VII collagen into mouse skin and a DEB human skin equivalent transplanted onto mice. The injected collagen localized to the basement membrane zone of both types of tissues, was organized into human anchoring fibril structures and reversed the features of DEB disease in the DEB skin equivalent.

Abstract
Dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (DEB) is a family of inherited mechano-bullous disorders caused by mutations in the human type VII collagen gene (COL7A1). Individuals with DEB lack type VII collagen and anchoring fibrils, structures that attach epidermis and dermis. The current lack of treatment for DEB is an impetus to develop gene therapy strategies that efficiently transfer and stably express genes delivered to skin cells in vivo. In this study, we delivered and expressed full-length type VII collagen using a self-inactivating minimal lentivirus-based vector. Transduction of lentiviral vectors containing the COL7A1 transgene into recessive DEB (RDEB) keratinocytes and fibroblasts (in which type VII collagen was absent) resulted in persistent synthesis and secretion of type VII collagen. Unlike RDEB parent cells, the gene-corrected cells had normal morphology, proliferative potential, matrix attachment and motility. We used these gene-corrected cells to regenerate human skin on immune-deficient mice. Human skin regenerated by gene-corrected RDEB cells had restored expression of type VII collagen and formation of anchoring fibrils at the dermal-epidermal junction in vivo. These studies demonstrate that it is possible to restore type VII collagen gene expression in RDEB skin in vivo.
