Alteration in the transcriptome of lung resident fibroblast upon genetic knockdown of Wilms' tumor1 transcription factor

ABSTRACT: Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is associated with many chronic lung diseases including Systemic sclerosis (SSc), Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) and Cystic Fibrosis (CF) which are characterized by the progressive accumulation of stromal cells and formation of scar tissue. Pulmonary fibrosis is a dysregulated response to alveolar injury which causes a progressive decline in lung function and refractory to current pharmacological therapies. Airway and alveolar epithelial cells and stromal cells contribute to pulmonary fibrosis but the cell-specific pathways and gene networks that are responsible for the pathophysiology are unknown. Recent published reports from our lab demonstrated the aberrant activation of Wilms' tumor1 (WT1) transcription factor in lung resident fibroblast and myofibroblast in IPF lung biopsies and the mouse model of transforming growth factor-α (TGFα) and bleomycin induced fibrosis. In this study, we sought to determine the role of WT1 in transcriptome changes in lung resident fibroblast during pulmonary fibrosis. Our results showed that WT1 regulates the transcriptional changes that are required for the fibroblast activation processes such fibroproliferation, myofibroblast transformation and extracellular matrix deposition during pulmonary fibrosis. Finally, this study demonstrates that WT1 is a critical regulator of fibroblast activation in IPF and hence serve as a target for therapeutic intervention.

Our results showed that Sox9 regulates the transcriptional changes that are required for the fibroblast activation including migration, myofibroblast transformation, survival and extracellular matrix deposition during pulmonary fibrosis. In summary, this new study demonstrates that Sox9 is a critical regulator of fibroblast activation in IPF and hence serve as a target for therapeutic intervention.

Transcription profiling of human myofibroblasts isolated from patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis

Project description:Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a chronic progressive lung disease of unknown etiology, is characterized by the expansion of myofibroblasts and abnormal deposition of extracellular matrix in the lung parenchyma. To elucidate the molecular mechanisms that lead to IPF, we analyzed myofibroblasts established from patients with IPF by oligonucleotide microarrays. Gene expression profiles revealed a novel pathophysiologic function of myofibroblasts as a generator of reactive oxygen species, and a self-defense mechanism against oxidative stress of their own generating. Experiment Overall Design: We isolated two myofibroblast cell culture from patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Embryonic pulmonary fibroblast was used for the reference.

LKB1 inhibition in alveolar epithelial cells induces fibroblast activation in pulmonary fibrosis [RNA-seq in 3D co-cultured ATII+MRC5]

Project description:Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic, progressive, irreversible, and lethal lung disease. The initiation of IPF involves microinjuries to and/or dysfunction of the alveolar epithelium, but factors that determine fibrosis progression or normal tissue repair are largely unknown. We previously demonstrated that autophagy inhibition-mediated epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in human alveolar epithelial type II (ATII) cells augments local myofibroblast differentiation in pulmonary fibrosis by paracrine signalling. Here, we report that liver kinase B1 (LKB1) inactivation in ATII cells induces autophagy inhibition and EMT as a consequence. In IPF lungs, this is caused by a downregulation of CAB39L, a key subunit within the LKB1 complex. 3D co-cultures of ATII cells and lung fibroblast MRC5 coupled with RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) confirmed that paracrine signalling between LKB1-depleted ATII cells and fibroblasts augmented myofibroblast differentiation. Together these data suggest that reduced autophagy caused by LKB1 inhibition can induce EMT in ATII cells and contribute to fibrosis via aberrant epithelial–fibroblast crosstalk.

Alteration in the transcriptome of the lung during TGF?-induced pulmonary fibrosis

Project description:Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is associated with many chronic lung diseases including Systemic sclerosis (SSc), Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) and Cystic Fibrosis (CF) which are characterized by the progressive accumulation of stromal cells and formation of scar tissue. Pulmonary fibrosis is a dysregulated response to alveolar injury which causes a progressive decline in lung function and refractory to current pharmacological therapies. Airway and alveolar epithelial cells and stromal cells contribute to pulmonary fibrosis but the cell-specific pathways and gene networks that are responsible for the pathophysiology are unknown. Recent animals models generated in our lab demonstrate clinical phenotypes seen in human fibrotic disease. The mouse model of transforming growth factor-? (TGF?)-induced fibrosis include conditionally expressing TGF? in the lung epithelium under control of the CCSP promoter driving rtTA expression (CCSP/TGF?). This allow the TGF? is only expressed in airway and alveolar epithelial cells and only when mice fed doxycycline (Dox). Similar to PF in humans, TGF? mice on Dox developed a progressive and extensive adventitial, interstitial and pleural fibrosis with a decline in lung mechanics. Thus, the TGF? transgenic mouse is a powerful model to determine lung cell-specific molecular signatures involved in pulmonary fibrosis. In this study, we sought to determine changes in the transcriptome during TGF?-induced pulmonary fibrosis. Our results showed that several pro-fibrotic genes increased in the lungs of TGF? mice. This study demonstrates that WT1 network gene changes associated with fibrosis and myfibroblast accumulation and thus may serve as a critical regulator fibrotic lung disease. mRNA profiles of CCSP/- and CCSP/TGFalpha mice treated with Dox

IL-11 is a therapeutic target in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis

Project description:Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a fatal lung disease where invasive pulmonary myofibroblasts secrete collagen and destroy lung integrity. Here we show that IL-11 is upregulated in the lung of IPF patients, associated with disease severity and is secreted from IPF fibroblasts. In vitro, IL-11 stimulates lung fibroblasts to become invasive, ACTA2+ve, collagen secreting myofibroblasts, in an ERK-dependent fashion. In mice, fibroblast-specific transgenic expression or administration of Il-11 drives lung fibroblast-to-myofibroblast transformation and causes lung fibrosis. Il11ra1 deleted mice, whose lung fibroblasts are unresponsive to pro-fibrotic stimulation, are protected from fibrosis in the bleomycin mouse model of pulmonary fibrosis. We generated an IL-11 neutralising antibody that blocks lung fibroblast activation downstream of multiple stimuli and reverses myofibroblast activation. In therapeutic studies, anti-IL-11 treatment both prevented and reversed lung fibrosis, which was accompanied by diminished Erk activation. These data prioritise IL-11 as a drug target for lung fibrosis and IPF.

FOXF1 inhibits pulmonary fibrosis by preventing CDH2-CDH11 cadherin switch in myofibroblasts

Project description:Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is characterized by aberrant accumulation of collagen-secreting myofibroblasts. Development of effective therapies is limited due to incomplete understanding of molecular mechanisms regulating myofibroblast expansion. FOXF1 transcription factor is expressed in resident lung fibroblasts, but its role in lung fibrosis remains unknown due to the lack of genetic mouse models. Through comprehensive analysis of human IPF genomics data, lung biopsies and transgenic mice with fibroblast-specific inactivation of FOXF1, the present study shows that FOXF1 inhibits pulmonary fibrosis. FOXF1 deletion increases myofibroblast invasion, collagen secretion, and promotes a switch from of N-cadherin (CDH2) to Cadherin-11 (CDH11), which is critical step in acquisition of pro-fibrotic phenotype. FOXF1 directly binds to Cdh2 and Cdh11 promoters and differentially regulates transcription of these genes. Re-expression of CDH2 or inhibition of CDH11 in FOXF1-deficient cells reduces myofibroblast invasion in vitro. FOXF1 inhibits pulmonary fibrosis by regulating a switch from CDH2 to CDH11 in lung myofibroblasts.

DIA proteomics of OGG1 inhibition in murine model of fibrosis

Project description:Interstitial lung diseases such as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) are caused by persistent micro-injuries to alveolar epithelial tissues accompanied by aberrant repair processes. Despite substantial advancement in our understanding of IPF progression, numerous questions remain concerning disease pathology. IPF is currently treated with pirfenidone and nintedanib, compounds which slow the rate of disease progression but fail to target underlying pathophysiological mechanisms. The DNA repair enzyme 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase-1 (OGG1) is upregulated following TGF-β1 exposure in several fibrosis-associated cell types. Currently, no pharmaceutical solutions targeting OGG1 have been utilized in the treatment of IPF. In this study, administration of Ogg1-targetting siRNA, mitigated bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis in mice, thereby highlighting OGG1 as a tractable target in lung fibrosis. The novel small molecule OGG1 inhibitor, TH5487, decreased myofibroblast transition and associated pro-fibrotic markers in fibroblast cells. In addition, TH5487 decreased pro-inflammatory cytokine production, inflammatory cell infiltration, and lung remodeling in a murine model of bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis. OGG1 and SMAD7 interact to induce fibroblast proliferation and differentiation, with both increased in fibrotic murine and IPF patient lung tissue. Taken together, these data strongly suggest that TH5487 is a potent, specific, and clinically-relevant treatment for IPF. This DIA-MS dataset entails the raw data and peptide-centric DIA-NN search results of both, lung tissue and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of n=5 mice profiled across the treatment groups bleomycin combined with TH (BTH), dexamethasone (DEX), TH alone (TH) and vehicle control (V) relative to bleomycin alone (B) as control. Different animals within protein groups were considered biological replicates of the respective treatment condition.

Redundant effects of Pirfenidone against fibroblast activation and severe fibrotic lung disease

Project description:Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive chronic lung disease characterized by excess deposition of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins in the lung. TGFα is a is a ligand for the epidermal growth factor receptor, and found elevated in several fibrotic lung diseases including IPF. Notably, lung-specific overexpression of TGFα alone in adult mice can cause progressive and extensive adventitial and subpleural fibrosis similar to IPF. Pirfenidone, an FDA approved drug has been shown to improve the decline in lung function in IPF patients. However, the mechanism of action of pirfenidone largely unknown. In the current study, we investigated the effects of pirfenidone using a mouse model of TGFα-induced pulmonary fibrosis and fibroblasts isolated from IPF lungs. Total lung transcriptome analysis suggest a significant overlap in dysregulated gene transcripts between TGFα model and IPF. In vivo studies demonstrate a significant improvement in lung function with pirfenidone therapy compared to vehicle-treated TGFα mice on Dox for six wks. However, pirfenidone treatment did not affect fibroproliferation, myofibroblast transformation, and ECM deposition during TGFα-induced pulmonary fibrosis. In summary, pirfenidone treatment improved lung function but had a limited or no effect on the expression of collagen, ECM genes, fibroproliferation and migration of lung-resident fibroblasts.
