چکیده

Myofibroblasts and TGF-b1 are implicated in Dupuytren’s contracture. Transforming growth factor b1(TGF-b1) (1–10 ng/ml) increases myofibroblast induction in Dupuytren’s fibroblasts and contraction in a collagen model. However, higher doses (20–30 ng/ml) inhibit contraction in dermal fibroblasts. We hypothesized higher doses of TGF-b1 would inhibit induction of myofibroblasts and contraction by Dupuytren’s fibroblasts. Increasing doses of TGF-b1 (0–30 ng/ml) were tested on Dupuytren’s fibroblasts using immunofluorescence to determine myofibroblast upregulation and a 3D collagen model used to determine contractile forces. Flexor retinaculum fibroblasts were used as controls. TGF-b1 induced myofibroblasts in Dupuytren’s fibroblasts (n 1⁄4 3) from 12% (0 ng/ml) to 23% (12.5 ng/ml) at 24 hours but dropped to 13% at 30 ng/ml (Po0.05). This response was mirrored in the contraction profiles. These trends were similar for flexor retinaculum fibroblasts (n 1⁄4 3), but contractile forces and myofibroblast induction were significantly less (Po0.001). This is the first report of negative feedback inhibition of TGF-b1 at higher concentrations in Dupuytren’s fibroblasts. Journal of Hand Surgery (British and European Volume, 2006) 31B: 5: 473–483

Anti-fibrotic action of pirfenidone in Dupuytren’s disease-derived fibroblasts

BACKGROUND Dupuytren's disease (DD) is a complex fibro-proliferative disorder of the hand that is often progressive and eventually can cause contractures of the affected fingers. Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β1) has been implicated as a key stimulator of myofibroblast activity and fascial contraction in DD. Pirfenidone (PFD) is an active small molecule shown to inhibit TGF-β1-mediated a...

Dissecting the roles of endothelin, TGF-beta and GM-CSF on myofibroblast differentiation by keratinocytes.

Myofibroblasts are specialized fibroblasts that contribute to wound healing by producing extracellular matrix and by contracting the granulation tissue. They appear in a phase of wound healing when the dermis strongly interacts with activated epidermal keratinocytes. Direct co-culture with keratinocytes upregulates TGFbeta activity and also induces fibroblast to differentiate into alpha-smooth ...

Interstitial fluid flow induces myofibroblast differentiation and collagen alignment in vitro.

The differentiation of fibroblasts to contractile myofibroblasts, which is characterized by de novo expression of alpha-smooth muscle actin (alpha-SMA), is crucial for wound healing and a hallmark of tissue scarring and fibrosis. These processes often follow inflammatory events, particularly in soft tissues such as skin, lung and liver. Although inflammatory cells and damaged epithelium can rel...

Acidic fibroblast growth factor decreases alpha-smooth muscle actin expression and induces apoptosis in human normal lung fibroblasts.

Fibroblast/myofibroblast expansion is critical in the pathogenesis of pulmonary fibrosis. To date, most research has focused on profibrotic mediators, whereas studies on antifibrotic factors are scanty. In this study, we explored the effects of acidic fibroblast growth factor (FGF-1) and FGF-1 plus heparin (FGF-1+H) on fibroblast growth rate, apoptosis, and myofibroblast differentiation. Hepari...

TRIP-1 via AKT modulation drives lung fibroblast/myofibroblast trans-differentiation

BACKGROUND Myofibroblasts are the critical effector cells in the pathogenesis of pulmonary fibrosis which carries a high degree of morbidity and mortality. We have previously identified Type II TGFβ receptor interacting protein 1 (TRIP-1), through proteomic analysis, as a key regulator of collagen contraction in primary human lung fibroblasts--a functional characteristic of myofibroblasts, and ...
