Project description:Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic lung disease that normal parenchyma is progressively replaced by fibrotic foci comprised of myofibroblasts, active differentiated fibroblasts. IPF has an overall poor prognosis with median survival ranging from 2.5 to 3.5 years. The underlying disease mechanisms in IPF are largely unknown, and there is still no effective drug that prolongs survival of patients with IPF. It has been known that JQ-1, a BET bromodomain inhibitor, prevents TGF-β-mediated fibroblast to myofibroblast differentiation. Moreover, JQ-1 modulates miRNAs expression in various types of cancer cell. In this study, to gain understanding of the relationship between miRNAs expression and the effect of JQ-1 on the dedifferentiation of established myofibroblast, we investigated miRNA profiles in human myofibroblasts with/without the JQ-1 treatment and/or TGF- using miRNA microarray assay.

In this study, to obtain a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying the effect of JQ-1 treatment on the dedifferentiation of established myofibroblasts, we performed comparative transcriptome analysis using the high-throughput RNA-seq. The CLC Genomic Workbench software was used to screen the differentially expressed transcripts. A total of 4,155 genes with a significantly differential expression in the JQ-1 treatment group as compared with the control group.

Project description:These data show that the genes that distinguish myofibroblasts from fibroblasts are myriad, and that some genes not traditionally associated with myofibroblast differentiation may serve as novel therapeutic targets for fibrosing disorders. Gene expression levels were assessed from total RNA on the Affymetrix U219 microarray. Here, we use transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), which has recently been shown to reverse myofibroblast differentiation, to investigate the transcriptomic changes that occur during TGF-β1-induced differentiation and PGE2-induced de-differentiation of 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.

Project description:Myofibroblast is a specific type of mesenchymal cell characterized by synthesis of extracellular matrix and contractile activity. While it serves a beneficial function during tissue wound healing under physiological conditions, it can cause devastating damage to organs afflicted with fibrosis. Myofibroblasts are also present in tumor stroma and contribute actively to tumor growth and spreading. Chicken embryo dermal myofibroblasts (CEDM) represent a novel ex vivo model suitable for the analysis of myofibroblastic phenotype as they show strongly pronounced, uniform and self-sustained myofibroblastic phenotype that is stable in time. As myofibroblastic differentiation is controlled chiefly by TGF-beta signaling, the understanding of the differentiation program entails the determination of TGF-beta-regulated genes. To achieve such a goal, we performed oligonucleotide microarray analysis of CEDM cells treated with a selective TGFBR1 kinase inhibitor. Genes reported previously to be under the control of TGF-beta signaling in mammalian cells appeared among the affected genes also in CEDM cells and many so far unknown TGF-beta targets were revealed.

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: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: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.
