Project description:All samples are conditioned media from primary cultured human gastric myofibroblasts, derived from either carcinoma tissue, or adjacent non cancerous tissue. In each experiment the cancer-derived myofibroblasts are compared against the non-cancer derived myofibroblasts from the same patient. All of the experiments were samples from Patient 1, except for 648, which is from Patient 2. SILAC labelling in each case is; 567 - Methionine COFRADIC; Cancer-derived = Heavy, Non-cancer = Light 575 - N-terminal COFRADIC; Cancer-derived = Heavy, Non-cancer = Light 646 - Cancer-derived = Light, Non-cancer = Heavy 647 - Non-cancer = Heavy, Non-cancer = Light (same cell line labelled twice to create a control experiment) 648 - Cancer-derived = Heavy, Non-cancer = Light

Project description:Myofibroblasts are fibroblastic cells that function in wound healing, tissue repair and fibrosis, and are derived from bone marrow (BM) and a variety of local progenitor cells. In the cornea, myofibroblasts are derived primarily from stromal keratocytes and from BM-derived fibrocytes after epithelial-stromal and endothelial-stromal injuries. Quantitative proteomic comparison of mature alpha-smooth muscle actin (alpha-SMA)+ myofibroblasts from rabbit cornea and BM was pursued for insights into possible functional differences. Cornea- and BM-derived alpha-SMA+ myofibroblast primary cultures were generated from four New Zealand white rabbits and confirmed to be myofibroblasts by immunocytochemistry. Paired cornea- and BM-derived myofibroblast specimens from each rabbit were analyzed by LC MS/MS iTRAQ technology using an Orbitrap Fusion Lumos Tribrid mass spectrometer, the Mascot search engine, the weighted average quantification method and the UniProt rabbit and human databases. From 2329 proteins quantified with >= 2 unique peptides from >= 3 rabbits, a total of 673 differentially expressed (DE) proteins were identified. Bioinformatic analysis of DE proteins with Ingenunity Pathway Analsysis implicate progenitor-dependent functional differences in myofibroblasts that could impact tissue development. Our results suggest BM-derived myofibroblasts may be more prone to the formation of excessive cellular and extracellular material that are characteristic of fibrosis.

Project description:Cancer-associated fibroblasts are a major component of the cancer stroma. Here we focus on gastric cancer associated myofibroblasts (CAMs). CAMs secrete factors that increase the migration, invasion and proliferation of cancer cells when compared to adjacent tissue myofibroblasts (ATMs), or normal tissue myofibroblasts (NTMs). In this study we identified and quantified the proteins secreted by normoxic (21% O2) and hypoxic (1% O2) myofibroblast cells.

Project description:The â??small perturbationâ?? approach is critical in studying the â??steady stateâ?? of a biological system. In our experiments, small perturbations were generated by applying a series of repeating intermittent small doses of ultraviolet radiation to a human keratinocyte cell line, HaCaT. The biological response was assessed by monitoring the gene expression profiles using a high reliability and high resolution cDNA microarray system. Following intermittent 10 J/m2 UVB small perturbations, two opposite classes of genes, down-regulated and up-regulated, exhibited an immediate response followed by relaxation between each small perturbation, but were prolonged down- or up-regulated without relaxation while larger doses (233 or 582.5 J/m2) of UVB were applied. A repeated cycle pattern of gene expression following small perturbations is an indication of the existence of steady states. This cycle pattern is suppressed when large perturbations are applied. We believe that this is a universal phenomenon. In our experiments, the functions of up-regulated genes were mainly associated with anti-proliferation, anti-mitogenesis, and apoptosis. On the other hand, down-regulated genes were mainly related to proliferation, mitogenesis, and anti-apoptosis. In conclusion, this study experimentally proves the concept of steady state at the transcription level and demonstrates the feasibility of using small perturbation approaches for investigating steady states. This study could also set a foundation of computational systems biology, which has implicitly used the concept of steady state. Keywords: time course Three UVB exposures are indicated by UV at time points of 0, 8 and 16 hours. T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, and T6 denote the sampling time points. T1, T3 and T5 are allocated 30 minutes after the corresponding UVB irradiation. T2, T4 and T6 are allocated 8 hours after each UVB irradiation. At each sampling time point, two samples (control and UV-irradiated) are collected. See supplementary file Loop_design.pdf for further explanation.

Project description:As a group, fibroproliferative disorders of the lung, liver, kidney, heart, vasculature and integument are common, progressive and refractory to therapy. They can emerge following toxic insults, but are frequently idiopathic. Their enigmatic propensity to resist therapy and progress to organ failure has focused attention on the myofibroblast – the primary effector of the fibroproliferative response. A central unanswered question is whether these myofibroblasts have acquired a distinct pathological phenotype - or whether they are normal myofibroblasts with a pathological phenotype that depends upon residing in a sea of pro-fibrotic cytokines and an abnormal extracellular matrix. Using a systems approach to study this question in a prototype fibrotic disease, Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF); here we show organized changes in the gene expression pathway of primary lung myofibroblasts that persist for up to 9 sub-cultivations in vitro. When comparing IPF and control myofibroblasts in a 3-dimensional type I collagen matrix, more genes differed at the level of ribosome recruitment than at the level of transcript abundance, indicating pathological translational control as a major characteristic of IPF myofibroblasts. To determine the effect of matrix state on translational control, myofibroblasts were permitted to contract the matrix. Ribosome recruitment in control myofibroblasts was relatively stable. In contrast, IPF cells manifested large alterations in the ribosome recruitment pattern. Pathological studies suggest an epithelial origin for IPF myofibroblasts through the epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT). In accord with this, we found systems-level indications for TGF?b -driven EMT as one source of IPF myofibroblasts.

Project description:Fibrosis due to extracellular matrix (ECM) secretion from myofibroblasts complicates many chronic liver diseases causing scarring and organ failure. Integrin-dependent interaction with scar ECM promotes profibrotic features. This microarray study was performed to clarify the role of integrin beta-1 (Itgb1) in profibrotic myofibroblasts.

Project description:Background: Asthma is the most common chronic lung disease in children and young adults worldwide. Airway remodelling (including increased fibroblasts and myofibroblasts in airway walls due to chronic inflammation) differentiates asthmatic from non-asthmatic airways. The increase in airway fibroblasts and myofibroblasts occurs via epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) where epithelial cells lose their tight junctions and are transdifferentiated to mesenchymal cells, with further increases in myofibroblasts occurring via fibroblast-myofibroblast transition (FMT). Transforming growth factor (TGF)-β is the central EMT- and FMT-inducing cytokine. In this study, we have used next generation sequencing to delineate the changes in the fibroblast transcriptome induced by TGF-β treatment in both the short term and after differentiation into myofibroblasts, to gain an understanding of the contribution of TGF-b induced transdifferentiation to the asthmatic phenotype. The data obtained from RNAseq analysis was confirmed by quantitative PCR (qPCR). Results: As expected, we found that genes coding for intermediates in the TGF-β signalling pathways (SMADs) were differentially expressed after treatment, and genes involved in cytoskeletal pathways (FN1, LAMA, ITGB1) were differentially expressed in myofibroblasts compared to fibroblasts. Importantly, genes that were previously shown to be changed in asthmatic lungs (ADAMTS1, DSP, TIMPs, MMPs) were differentially expressed in myofibroblasts, strongly suggesting that TGF-β mediated differentiation of fibroblasts to myofibroblasts may underlie important changes in the asthmatic airway. We also identified new signalling pathways (AKT, PTEN) that are changed in myofibroblasts compared to fibroblasts. Conclusion: We have found a significant number of genes that are altered after differentiation of fibroblasts into myofibroblasts by TGF-β treatment, many of which were expected or predicted. However, we also identified novel genes and pathways that were affected after treatment of fibroblasts with TGF-β, which suggests additional pathways that that are activated during the transition between fibroblasts and myofibroblasts, and may contribute to the asthma phenotype.
