Regulation 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 کاملMechanical force regulation of myofibroblast differentiation in cardiac fibroblasts.
The myocardium responds to chronic pressure or volume overload by activation and proliferation of cardiac fibroblasts and their differentiation into myofibroblasts. Because alpha-smooth muscle actin (SMA) expression is the classical marker for myofibroblast differentiation, we examined force-induced SMA expression and regulation by specific MAPK pathways. Rat cardiac fibroblasts were separated ...
متن کاملMultistep regulation of telomerase during differentiation of HL60 cells.
Using three different differentiation agents (1alpha, 25 dihydroxyvitamin D3, all-trans-retinoic acid, and Am80), down-regulation of telomerase activity was found to be a common response during the monocytic or granulocytic differentiation of human acute myeloblastic leukemia cell line 60 (HL60) cells. Rapid down-regulation of telomerase transcription occurred during early differentiation of HL...
متن کاملMolecular regulation of myofibroblast formation
Novel strategies are required to counteract tissue contractures characteristic for organ fibrosis, stroma reaction to tumors, host reaction to implants, and formation of hypertrophic scars as after burns. Key element for the development and progression of these pathologies is the excessive contractile force generated by a-smooth muscle actin (a-SMA)-expressing myofibroblasts. We can modulate my...
