Abstract Background: The expression of hair features is an evolutionary adaptation resulting from interactions between many organisms and their environment. Elucidation of the mechanisms that underlie the expression of such traits is a topic in evolutionary biology research; however, the genetic basis of skin appendage development and differentiation remains poorly understood. Therefore, we assessed the de novo transcriptome of the hedgehog ( Atelerix albiventris ) at three developmental stages and compared gene expression profiles between abdomen hair and dorsal spine tissues. Results: We identified 328,576 unigenes in our transcriptome, among which 3,598 were differentially expressed between hair- and spine-type tissues. We identified 3 keratin genes related to hair and spine development through comparative analysis of tissues before and after growth of skin appendages. Dorsal and abdomen skin tissues 5 days after birth were compared and the resulting differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were mainly enriched in keratin filament, intermediate filament, epithelium cell differentiation, and epidermis development based on GO enrichment analysis, and tight junction, p53, and cell cycle signaling pathways based on KEGG enrichment analysis. Expression variations of MBP8, SFN, Wnt10, KRT1 , and KRT2 may be the main factors regulating hair and spine differentiation for the hedgehog. Strikingly, DEGs in hair-type tissues were also significantly enriched in immune-related terms and pathways with hair-type tissues exhibiting more upregulated immune genes than spine-type tissues. Thus, we propose that spine development was an adaptation that provided protection against injuries or stress and reduced hedgehog vulnerability to infection. Conclusion: Our study provided a list of potential genes involved in the regulation of skin appendage development and differentiation in A. albiventris . This is the first transcriptome survey of hair traits for a non-model mammal species, and the candidate genes provided here may provide valuable information for further studies of skin appendages and skin disorder treatments.

Abstract Background Hedgehog spines are skin appendages that have evolved as a result of the interaction of their skin with the environment. However, such a differentiation mechanism during skin development leads to a high skin appendage diversity, the origins of which are still not fully understood. Spine-skin and hair-skin offer a natural model for the analysis of the genomic basis for the evolution of epidermal appendage formation. We performed a comparative transcriptomic analysis of hedgehog ( Atelerix albiventris ) at multiple developmental stages, and tried to explore the genetic basis for differentiation and development and the resulting expression of the spine-trait. Results A total 15,158 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified. We determined the gene modules and programs corresponding to the various phenotypic traits at different developmental stages by WGCNA analysis. Objective analysis of gene module expression revealed that HIPPO, TGFB, MAPK and Wnt signaling pathways regulate the activation and cell proliferation and differentiation at the skin-appendage development stage. Further, the key genes encoding keratin, FGF, TEAD, and other proteins regulate molecular localization and the cell cycle for hair development and differentiation. Finally, we found a number of highly expressed immune genes in the skin, suggesting that hedgehog spines, unlike pangolin scales, have evolved independently to protect against predators rather than compensate for low autoimmune immunity. Conclusions The variability of gene expression profiles of hair-type and spine-type at multiple development stages, and key candidate genes and pathways at the molecular level might provide evidence that can help elucidate the genetic basis of skin appendage development and differentiation of hedgehog.
