A murine systemic bleomycin model of scleroderma

ABSTRACT: A well-characterized mouse model of SSc involves daily subcutaneous injections of the antitumor antibiotic bleomycin (BLM), which leads to localized dermal fibrosis as well as pulmonary fibrosis. We have termed this the “Systemic Bleomycin Model” to distinguish it from the already-established Intratracheal (IT) model. We utilize this model, which mimics several key features of human SSc, to examine the pathological mechanisms underlying the development and progression of fibrosis in SSc.

RNA-Seq analysis of skin from bleomycin induced scleroderma murine models treated with EHP-101

Project description:Systemic sclerosis (SSc) or scleroderma is a chronic multiorgan autoimmune disease of unknown etiology characterized by vascular, immunological and fibrotic abnormalities. Several lines of evidence have shown that the endocannabinoid system (ECS) may play a role in the pathophysiology of SSc. VCE-004.8, a CBD aminoquinone derivative, is a dual PPARγ/CB2 that alleviates bleomycin (BLM)-induced skin fibrosis. Herein we report that EHP-101, an oral lipidic formulation of VCE-004.8, prevents skin and lung fibrosis and collagen accumulation in BLM challenged mice. Immunohistochemistry analysis of the skin demonstrate that EHP-101 prevents macrophage infiltration, and the expression of Tenascin C (TNC), VCAM, and the α-smooth muscle actin (SMA). In addition, a reduced expression of vascular CD31, paralleling skin fibrosis, was also prevented by EHP-101. RNAseq analysis in skin biopsies showed a clear effect of EHP-101 in the inflammatory and epithelial-mesenchymal transition transcriptomic signatures. TGF-beta regulated genes such as matrix metalloproteinase-3 (Mmp3), cytochrome b-245 heavy chain (Cybb), lymphocyte antigen 6E (Ly6e), vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (Vcam1) and the Integrin alpha-5 (Itga5) were induced in BLM mice and repressed by EHP-101 treatment. We also intersected differentially expressed genes in EHP-101-treated mice with dataset of human scleroderma intrinsic genes and found 53 overlapped genes, including the C-C motif chemokine 2 (Ccl2) and the interleukin 13 receptor subunit alpha 1 (IL-13Ra1) genes, which have been studied as biomarkers of SSc. Altogether the results indicate that this synthetic cannabinoid qualifies as a novel compound for the management and possible treatment of scleroderma and, potentially, other fibrotic diseases.

HSP27 (Heat Shock Protein 27, HSPB1) overexpression effect on bleomycin-induced PF (Pulmonary fibrosis) mice model

Project description:To analyze the role of HSP27 in bleomycin (BLM)-induced pulmonary fibrosis in vivo, we used TG mice that conventionally overexpressed HSP27. Our previously reported that HSP27 plays an important role in pulmonary fibrosis. In mice overexpressing HSPB1, BLM-induced fibrotic regions and collagen deposits were increased compared with those in control BL6 mice. Following intratracheal treatment of BLM, the HSP25 TG mice showed an abundance of mononuclear and neutrophils cells in the alveoli, greater destruction of alveolar septa, intra-alveolar hyaline membrane formation, and a marked increase in collagen deposition compared with control BL6 mice.

Microarray-based gene expression profiling in mouse bleomycin-induced systemic sclerosis model treated with MT-7117

Project description:In this study, we analyzed the gene expression profiles of the lung in mouse bleomycin (BLM)-induced systemic sclerosis (SSc) model treated with MT-7117. Gene array analysis using the BLM-induced SSc model demonstrated changes in numerous categories related to macrophages, monocytes, and neutrophils, followed by endothelial cell-related categories after treatment with MT-7117 (Dersimelagon). In the analysis that focused on biological functions, categories of inflammatory response, activation of antigen-presenting cells, angiogenesis, atherosclerosis, vasculogenesis, and vaso-occlusion were suppressed by MT-7117. In the analysis that focused on molecular signaling pathways, triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1, IL-6, and oncostatin M involved in inflammation, and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor that is related to fibrosis were all affected by MT-7117.

A bleomycin induced murine model of scleroderma in GSDMD-/- versus wild type

Project description:The NLRP3 inflammasome and IL-1β are essential for scleroderma pathogenesis. Nevertheless, the role of pyroptosis executor gasdermin D(GSDMD), which is a downstream molecule of NLRP3 and is required for IL-1β release in some situations, has not yet been well elucidated in scleroderma. The purpose of this study was to explore the differences in the degree of skin fibrosis between GSDMD-/- and wild type mice in a bleomycin-induced scleroderma model, and the molecular pathways that may be involved.Total RNA from skin biopsies from GSDMD-/- and wild type mice after subcutaneous injection of BLM to induce skin fibrosis was examined by nextGen RNA sequencing

Proteomic profiling of young and old mice in the bleomycin model

Project description:The most preclinical used in vivo model to study lung fibrosis is the bleomycin-induced lung fibrosis model in 2-3-month-old mice. Although this model resembles key aspects of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), there are limitations in its predictability for the human disease. One of the main differences is the juvenile age of animals that are usually used in experiments, resembling humans of around 20 years. Because IPF patients are usually older than 60 years, aging appears to play an important role in the pathogenesis of lung fibrosis. We here compared young (3 months) and old (21 months) mice 21 days after intratracheal bleomycin instillation.

A20 governs fibrosis susceptibility in bleomycin-induced mouse scleroderma model

Project description:In addition to autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, variants of the TNFAIP3 gene encoding A20 are also associated with systemic sclerosis (SSc). However, it remains unclear how genetic factors contribute to fibrosis in SSc, and which cell types drive disease due to SSc-specific genetic alterations. We characterized the expression and function of A20, and its negative transcriptional regulator DREAM, in patient with SSc. We found that levels of A20 were significantly reduced in SSc skin and lung biopsies, while DREAM was elevated and showed anti-correlation with A20. Mice haploinsufficient for A20, or harboring fibroblasts-specific A20 deletion, recapitulated major pathological and genomic features of SSc, whereas DREAM-null mice showed elevated A20 expression and were protected from fibrosis. In fibroblasts, A20 mitigated ex vivo profibrotic responses. An anti-fibrotic small molecule targeting the adiponectin receptors stimulated A20 expression in vitro in wildtype but not A20-deficient fibroblasts, and in bleomycin-treated mice. Thus, A20 has a novel function in negative regulation of fibroblast responses, and together with DREAM, constitutes a critical regulatory network governing the fibrotic process in SSc, suggesting that A20 and DREAM represent novel druggable targets.

A time-course transcriptome analysis of a double challenge bleomycin-induced lung fibrosis rat model

Project description:Backgroud: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is an irreversible disorder with a poor clinical outcome. The partial understanding of IPF pathogenesis and, consequently, the lack of appropriate relevant animal models is limiting the development of effective treatments. In this context, the intratracheal bleomycin (BLM) administration murine model is regarded as the most reliable preclinical approximation of human IPF. We present, here, the results of an integrated histological and transcriptome analysis that was used to monitor the time-course of BLM-induced lung fibrosis development in a rat model of disease and to assess its overlap with IPF. Methods: Male rats were injected intratracheally (IT) with a double dose of BLM or saline (day 0 – 4) and sacrificed at day 7, 14, 21, 28 and 56. Histomorphometric analysis of lung fibrosis was performed on Masson’s trichrome stained sections on the left lung lobe. Transcriptome profiling by RNAseq was performed on total RNA extracted from the right lung lobe Results and Conclusions: Transcriptomic analysis provided a detailed overview of BLM-induced lung fibrosis development and identified three clusters of differentially co-regulated genes whose expression was modulated in a time-dependent manner in response to BLM. One of these clusters centred on extracellular matrix-related pathways and process was found to be significantly correlated with histological parameters and gene sets derived from human IPF studies, thus indicating its translational potential as a signature biomarker for future IPF-related target validation and drug discovery studies.

Bleomycin model of fibrosis and resolution phase in old and young mice

Project description:Bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis in mice mimics major hallmarks of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, yet in this model it spontaneously resolves over time. We studied molecular mechanisms of fibrosis resolution and lung repair, focusing on transcriptional and proteomic signatures and the effect of aging. Young (3 months) and old (21 months) mice were treated with Bleomycin or with control saline solution and analyzed transcript and protein expression over 8 weeks (Day 0, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56).

Gene expression data from bleomycin-instilled lung tissue or control (Sham) of C57BL/6 mice (wild-type mice and transgenic mice expressing dominant-negative form of p38α or constitutive active form of MKK6 in type II alveolar epithelial cells).

Project description:Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a type of pulmonary fibrosis, a disease that results in scarring and stiffness of lung tissue affecting over 5 million people globally, while the underlying disease mechanisms in IPF are largely unknown. As an animal model of IPF, a single intratracheal injection of bleomycin (BLM) is generally employed, in which cell death of type II alveolar epithelial cells (AEC II) is a trigger of pulmonary fibrosis. One of mitogen-activated protein kinases, p38 is well known as an important regulator of inflammatory responses and cell fate such as apoptosis, differentiation and tumorgenesis. Given that mice with different intrinsic activity of p38 in AEC II were subjected to BLM instillation and investigated, candidate genes in the development of pulmonary fibrosis would be screened. Here, we provide gene expression profiling of lung tissues using the RNA sequencing for identifying changes in gene expression.
