Antiapoptotic effect of found in inflammatory zone (FIZZ)1 on mouse lung fibroblasts.
Myofibroblasts play an essential role in the abnormal deposition of extracellular matrix in pulmonary fibrosis. The presence or prolonged survival of these cells may be a key factor in the pathogenesis of progressive pulmonary fibrosis. Found in inflammatory zone (FIZZ)1 can induce myofibroblast differentiation and has an antiapoptotic effect on embryonic lung explant cultures. In this study, w...
متن کاملRegulation of myofibroblast differentiation by cardiac glycosides.
Myofibroblast differentiation is a key process in pathogenesis of fibrotic diseases. Cardiac glycosides (ouabain, digoxin) inhibit Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase, resulting in increased intracellular [Na(+)]-to-[K(+)] ratio in cells. Microarray analysis suggested that increased intracellular [Na(+)]/[K(+)] ratio may promote the expression of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), a critical enzyme in the synthesis of pr...

متن کاملFAK-dependent regulation of myofibroblast differentiation.
Fibroblasts and myofibroblasts both participate in wound healing. Transforming growth factor beta (TGFbeta) induces fibroblasts to differentiate into myofibroblasts, whereas fibroblast growth factor and heparin (FGF/h) induce myofibroblasts to "de-differentiate" into fibroblasts. TGFbeta induces expression of smooth muscle alpha actin (SMalphaA) and incorporation into in stress fibers, a phenot...
متن کاملOsteopontin expression is required for myofibroblast differentiation.
Osteopontin (OPN) is a multifunctional cytokine that is strongly expressed in healing wounds and fibrotic lesions, both of which are characterized by the formation of myofibroblasts. We examined the role of OPN in myofibroblast differentiation induced by the profibrotic cytokine transforming growth factor-beta1. In cultured cardiac or dermal fibroblasts treated with transforming growth factor-b...
