Fibroblast-specific TGF-b signaling mediates dysfunction, fibrosis and hypertrophy in a mouse model of obesity-associated type 2 diabetes [RNA-seq: Smad3 in dbdb]

ABSTRACT: Our study provides the first direct evidence supporting a fibroblast-mediated mechanism of dysfunction and adverse remodeling in the diabetic heart, highlighting the importance of interstitial cells in the pathogenesis of diabetic cardiomyopathy. Diabetes-associated activation of the TGF-b/Smad3 cascade may promote dysfunction not only by accentuating ECM deposition and crosslinking, but also by modulating cardiomyocyte phenotype and function. Thus, the TGF-b system may be a promising therapeutic target in patients with diabetes-associated heart failure.

Fibroblast-specific TGF-b signaling mediates dysfunction, fibrosis and hypertrophy in a mouse model of obesity-associated type 2 diabetes [RNA-seq: TSP4 stimulation]

Protection from obesity and diabetes by blockade of TGF-beta/Smad3 signaling

Project description:Imbalances in glucose and energy homeostasis are at the core of the worldwide epidemic of obesity and diabetes. Here, we illustrate an important role of the TGF-beta/Smad3 signaling pathway in regulating glucose and energy homeostasis. Smad3 deficient mice are protected from diet-induced obesity and diabetes. Interestingly, the metabolic protection is accompanied by Smad3-/- white adipose tissue acquiring the bioenergetic and gene expression profile of brown fat/skeletal muscle. Smad3-/- adipocytes demonstrate a marked increase in mitochondrial biogenesis, with a corresponding increase in basal respiration, and Smad3 acts as a repressor of PGC-alpha1 expression. We observe significant correlation between TGF-beta1 levels and adiposity in rodents and humans. Further, systemic blockade of TGF-beta1 signaling protects mice from obesity, diabetes and hepatic steatosis. Together, these results demonstrate that TGF-beta signaling regulates glucose tolerance and energy homeostasis and suggest that modulation of TGF-beta1 activity might be an effective treatment strategy for obesity and diabetes. Smad3-/- and WT mice were fed with regular diet (RD) and high fat diet (HFD), and diet induced obese (DIO) mice were treated with IgG and anti-TGF-b1 antibody

Differential effects of Smad2 and Smad3 in regulation of macrophage phenotype and function in the infarcted myocardium

Project description:TGF-βs regulate macrophage responses, by activating Smad2/3. We have previously demonstrated that macrophage-specific Smad3 stimulates phagocytosis and mediates anti-inflammatory macrophage transition in the infarcted heart. However, the role of macrophage Smad2 signaling in myocardial infarction remains unknown. We studied the role of macrophage-specific Smad2 signaling in the healing infarct, and we explored the basis for the distinct effects of Smad2 and Smad3. Infarct macrophages exhibited both Smad2 and Smad3 activation. In contrast to the effects of Smad3 loss, myeloid cell-specific Smad2 disruption had no effects on mortality, ventricular dysfunction and adverse remodeling, after myocardial infarction. Phagocytic removal of dead cells, macrophage and myofibroblast infiltration, collagen deposition, angiogenesis and scar remodeling were not affected by macrophage Smad2 loss. In isolated macrophages, TGF-β1, -β2 and -β3, activated both Smad2 and Smad3, whereas BMP6 triggered only Smad3 activation. Smad2 and Smad3 had similar patterns of nuclear translocation in response to TGF-β1. Smad3, and not Smad2, was the main mediator of transcriptional effects of TGF-β on macrophages and Smad3 loss resulted in enrichment of genes associated with RAR/RXR signaling, cholesterol biosynthesis and lipid metabolism. In conclusion, the in vivo and in vitro effects of TGF-β on macrophage function involve Smad3, and not Smad2.

SMAD3 targets in A549 lung epithelial cells

Project description:TGF? activates a signal transduction cascade that results in the transcription of genes, primarily through the DNA-binding transcription factor SMAD3. The objective of this study is to identify SMAD3 binding targets and the molecular pathways affected by the TGF?1/SMAD3 signal transduction on a genome-wide scale. Cultured A549 cells at 30-50% confluence were treated with 10 uM SIS3 in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), or DMSO (vehicle-only) 30 min prior to TGF?1 treatment. Cells were treated with 2 ng/mL recombinant TGF?1 for 0, 2, 12, and 24 h.

TGF-Î²/Smad3 Stimulates Stem Cell/Developmental Gene Expression and Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell De-Differentiation

Project description:In order to determine a mechanism through which TGF-b/Smad3 promote these effects, Affymetrix gene expression arrays were performed on primary rat SMCs infected with Smad3 and stimulated with TGF-b or infected with GFP alone. More than 200 genes were differentially expressed (>2.0 fold change, p<0.05) in TGF-b/Smad3 stimulated SMCs. We then performed GO term enrichment analysis using the DAVID bioinformatics database and found that TGF-b/Smad3 activated the expression of multiple genes related to either development or cell differentiation, several of which have been shown to be associated with multipotent stem or progenitor cells. Vascular smooth muscle cells from 3 rats were infected with adenovirus expressing Smad3 and treated with TGF-B for 24 h (TGF-B/Smad3 group). Adenovirus expressing GFP (GFP group) was control. TGF-B/Smad3 treated or control cells were used for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays (n=3).

TGF-beta/Smad3-dependent gene expression analysis in naive CD4 T cells

Project description:Investigation of transcript level modulation in unstimulated and TGF-beta treated (with or without superimposed T-cell receptor and CD28 stimulation) naive CD4 T cells from wild type or Smad3-deficient littermate mice. Smad3 is a critical signaling molecule and transcription factor downstream of TGF-beta and mediates several of the TGF-beta dependent tolerogenic effects in T cells. This study was undertaken to unveil the transcriptionnal program controled by the TGF-b/Smad3 axis. Microarray study using RNA recovered after 6 hours of culture in either serum free media, serum-free media + TGF-beta (2.5ng/ml) or serum-free media + TGF-beta and anti-CD3e and anti-CD28 stimulation (3 conditions). Naive CD4 T cells (TCRb+, CD4+, CD62L+ and CD44-) were sorted from either wild type or Smad3 deficient littermates and submitted to the 3 culture conditions. Three biological replicates were obtained (each from at least 2 different mice). Thus a total of 18 Nimblegen 365K chip were used.

Gene expression profiling of six MEF cell genotypes (wild type, β2SP+/-, β2SP-/-, SMAD3+/-, SMAD3-/-, and β2SP+/-; SMAD3+/-)

Project description:Gene expression profiling was carried out in six (wild type, β2SP+/-, β2SP-/-, SMAD3+/-, SMAD3-/- and β2SP+/-/ SMAD3+/-) different mouse knockout embryonic fibroblast (MEF) cells. Beta-2-spectrin (β2SP) is a dynamic intracellular non-pleckstrin homology (PH)-domain protein that belongs to a family of polypeptides that have been implicated in conferring cell polarity. Spectrins have been linked to multiple signaling pathways, including cell cycle regulation, DNA repair and TGFβ signaling. In this study, we report a major role of the TGFβ/Smad3 adaptor β2-Spectrin in conserving genomic integrity from alcohol-induced DNA damage and describe a novel pathway that protects genomes from genotoxic stresses. To determine the mechanism for the oncogenic switch, and whether it is related to the role of β2SP in TGF-β signaling transduction or secondary to its cytoskeletal functions, we analyzed disruption of two elements of the TGF-β pathway by generating double heterozygous Sptbn1+/−/Smad3+/− mice.
