An extracellular matrix-driven positive feedback loop regulates translation in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis

ABSTRACT: Analysis of gene expression of lung fibroblasts seeded onto decellularized extracellular matrix (ECM). Experiment had 2x2 design where fibroblasts from idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) or control patients were seeded onto decelluarized lung tissue from IPF or control patients allowing for determination of gene expression differences that were driven by IPF ECM and which differences were driven by the IPF fibroblast. Lung fibroblasts from 5 patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and 5 control patients were cultured on decellularized ECM from IPF or control lung. Total RNA and polyribosome RNA were isolated after the cells were cultured on the decellularized ECM for 18 hours. When possible, a control cell line and a diseased cell line were cultured (and processed) simultaneously to minimize the effect of experimental variance induced by running the experiment at different times.Samples with the same batch number (provied in the sample 'characteristics' field) were cultured and processed at the same time.

Project description:Objective: Pulmonary complications in systemic sclerosis (SSc), including pulmonary fibrosis (PF) and pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), are the leading cause of mortality. We compared the molecular fingerprint of SSc lung tissues and matching primary lung fibroblasts to those of normal donors, and patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH). Methods: Lung tissues were obtained from 33 patients with SSc who underwent lung transplantation. Tissues and cells from a subgroup of SSc patients with predominantly PF or PAH were compared to those from normal donors, patients with IPF, or IPAH. Microarray data was analyzed using Efficiency Analysis for determination of optimal data processing methods. Real time PCR and immunohistochemistry were used to confirm differential levels of mRNA and protein, respectively. Results: We identified a consensus of 242 and 335 genes that were differentially expressed in lungs and primary fibroblasts, respectively. Enriched function groups in SSc-PF and IPF lungs included fibrosis, insulin-like growth factor signaling and caveolin-mediated endocytosis. Functional groups shared by SSc-PAH and IPAH lungs included antigen presentation, chemokine activity, and IL-17 signaling. Conclusion: Using microarray analysis on carefully phenotyped SSc and comparator lung tissues, we demonstrated distinct molecular profiles in tissues and fibroblasts of patients with SSc-associated lung disease compared to idiopathic forms of lung disease. Unique molecular signatures were generated that are disease- (SSc) and phenotype- (PF vs PAH) specific. These signatures provide new insights into pathogenesis and potential therapeutic targets for SSc lung disease.
