1 Caspase-14-Deficient Mice Are More Prone to the Development of Parakeratosis 
Esther Hoste, Geertrui Denecker, Barbara Gilbert, Filip Van Nieuwerburgh, Leslie van der Fits, Bob Asselbergh, Riet De Rycke, Jean- Pierre Hachem, Dieter Deforce, Errol P.

2 Figure 1 Cornification defects in caspase-14−/−newborns and adults. Skin sections of caspase-14+/+ and caspase-14−/− mice at P3.5 days and at the age of 9 weeks were examined by electron microscopy for stratum corneum (SC) abnormalities. (a) General view of the transitional and cornifying layers in wild-type (WT) and caspase-14−/− skin. Upper panels, bar=2μm; lower panels, bar=1μm. (b) Detailed view on the SC1 layer in WT and caspase-14−/− skin at P3.5 days. Arrowheads indicate the cornified envelope. SG, stratum granulosum; SCx, xth layer of cornified cells. Bar=500nm.

3 Figure 2 Caspase-14−/− mice develop more and larger parakeratotic plaques upon acetone-induced barrier disruption. (a) Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E)-stained skin sections of wild-tpe (WT) and caspase-14−/− back skin that was left untreated or subjected to repetitive treatment two times daily with saline or acetone wipes for 5 days. Acetone treatment results in parakeratotic plaque formation in WT and caspase-14−/− mice. A representative image of saline (NaCl)- and acetone-treated skin is shown for both genotypes. Bar=200μm. (b) Transepidermal water loss (TEWL) measurements were recorded 24hours after the last treatment. Values of the two genotypes were compared using two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) testing with Bonferroni post-tests; P-values are indicated with * (<0.05). (c) Parakeratosis was quantified in all experimental groups on H&E-stained skin sections. Values depicted in the graph are the % of parakeratotic stratum corneum (SC) surface. These data were statistically analyzed by a logistic regression model as explained in Materials and Methods. Bars represent mean values±SEM. WT untreated: n=10; knockout (KO) untreated: n=10; WT NaCl: n=10; KO NaCl: n=10; WT acetone: n=16; KO acetone: n=16. The total length of skin analyzed was mm in WT untreated; 95.25mm in KO untreated; 78.5mm in WT NaCl; 111mm in KO NaCl; mm in WT acetone; and mm in KO acetone. (d) Mice treated as in c were analyzed for the number of parakeratotic plaques larger than 100μm over a total section length of 10cm. Only statistically significant differences are indicated by asterisks (b and c).

4 Figure 3 Caspase-14−/− mice are more sensitive to vehicle- and imiquimod (IMQ)-induced epidermal scaling than wild-type (WT) mice. Scaling of the epidermis was scored independently by two researchers on a scale from 0 to 4: 0, none; 1, slight; 2, moderate; 3, marked; and 4, very marked. WT untreated: n=4; knockout (KO) untreated: n=4; WT vehicle: n=6; KO vehicle: n=6; WT IMQ: n=11; and KO IMQ: n=12. All values from both genotypes were compared using two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) testing with Bonferroni post-tests. Bars represent mean values±SEM. P-values are indicated with *** (<0.001). Only statistically significant differences are indicated by asterisks.

5 Figure 4 Caspase-14−/− mice are more prone to the development of parakeratosis than their wild-type (WT) counterparts upon topical imiquimod (IMQ) treatment. (a) Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining of back skin of caspase-14+/+ and caspase-14−/− mice left untreated, treated with vehicle cream, or treated with IMQ-containing cream for 8 consecutive days, after which they were killed and samples obtained. A representative image is shown for each condition. Bar=20μm. (b) Parakeratosis was quantified in all experimental groups on H&E-stained skin sections. Values depicted in the graph represent the percentage of parakeratotic stratum corneum (SC) out of the total SC. These data were statistically analyzed by a logistic regression model as explained in Materials and Methods. Three sections per mouse sample were analyzed. WT untreated: n=8; knockout (KO) untreated: n=8; WT vehicle: n=11; KO vehicle: n=11; WT IMQ: n=20; and KO IMQ: n=21 (c) Epidermal thickness was measured using the ImageJ software—four measurements were performed on each H&E-stained image; three images per mouse were analyzed. The thickness of the epidermis was determined by measuring the distance from the basement membrane to the upper granular layer, excluding the cornified layers. All values from the two genotypes were compared using two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) testing with Bonferroni post-tests. Bars represent mean values±SEM. P-values are indicated with * (<0.05) or *** (<0.001). (b and c) Only statistically significant differences are indicated by asterisks.

6 Figure 5 Imiquimod (IMQ)-treated wild-type (WT) and caspase-14−/− skin have similar numbers of infiltrating leukocytes. (a) Back skin sections of untreated, vehicle-treated, and IMQ-treated caspase-14+/+ and caspase-14−/− mice were probed with anti-CD45 antibody. A representative image is shown for each condition. Bar=40μm. (b) Quantification of diaminobenzidine (DAB) positivity in stained skin sections is represented as DAB-positive area as a percent of total area (epidermis and dermis). Three sections per mouse sample were analyzed. WT untreated: n=12; knockout (KO) untreated: n=12; WT vehicle: n=18; KO vehicle: n=18; WT IMQ: n=31; and KO IMQ: n=34. Values of the two genotypes were compared using a logistic regression model as explained in Materials and Methods. Bars represent mean values±SEM. We could not observe statistically significant differences between the two genotypes.

7 Figure 6 Barrier disruption induced by imiquimod (IMQ) treatment is more pronounced in caspase-14−/− mice relative to controls. Transepidermal water loss (TEWL) measurements were recorded on caspase-14+/+ and caspase-14−/− shaved back skin on days 0, 4, 6, and 8 of treatment. Bars represent mean values±SD. Wild-type (WT) untreated: n=4; knockout (KO) untreated: n=4; WT vehicle: n=6; KO vehicle: n=6; WT IMQ: n=11; and KO IMQ: n=12. Values of the two genotypes were compared using two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) testing with Bonferroni post-tests; P-values are indicated with * (<0.05), ** (0.05–0.001), or *** (<0.001). Only statistically significant differences are indicated by asterisks.
