Many peptide growth factors, including epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) ligands, accelerate wound reepithelialization in vivo and in vitro. Furthermore, EGFR expression is transiently increased at wound margins, suggesting an active role for this receptor in wound repair. During reepithelialization of cutaneous wounds, keratinocytes display a phenotypic plasticity resembling aspects of epithelial-mesenchymal transformation (EMT). The transcription factor Slug is a regulator of EMT during development, and we reported previously that Slug expression is elevated in keratinocytes bordering cutaneous wounds in vivo, ex vivo, and in vitro. In this study we provide evidence that Slug expression is necessary for an EGFR-stimulated reepithelialization response. EGF induces Slug expression and the response to EGFR activation is more robust than to other receptor tyrosine kinase ligands. EGFR-stimulated reepithelialization is highly dependent on Slug, as demonstrated by the absence of EGF-stimulated outgrowth in explants derived from Slug null mice. In vitro reepithelialization stimulated by ectopic Slug expression was not impaired by an inhibitor of EGFR catalytic activity suggesting that Slug is a downstream mediator of this EGFR-stimulated response. Our findings provide evidence that Slug is an essential component of the pathway leading to EGFR-mediated epithelial outgrowth.
