Relief of extracellular matrix deposition repression by downregulation of IRF1-mediated TWEAK/Fn14 signaling in keloids

ABSTRACT: Keloids represent a fibrotic disorder characterized by the excessive deposition of extracellular matrix (ECM). However, the mechanisms by which ECM deposition in keloids is regulated remain elusive. Here, we found that the expression of both TWEAK and its cognate receptor Fn14 was significantly downregulated in keloids and that TWEAK/Fn14 signaling repressed the expression of ECM-related genes in keloid fibroblasts. The IRF1 gene was essential for this repression, and the TWEAK/Fn14 downstream transcription factor P65 directly bound to the promoter of the IRF1 gene and induced its expression. Furthermore, in keloid patients, the expression of TWEAK and Fn14 was negatively correlated with that of ECM genes and positively correlated with that of IRF1. These observations indicate that relief of TWEAK/Fn14/IRF1-mediated ECM deposition repression contributes to keloid pathogenesis, and the identified mechanism and related molecules provide potential targets for keloid treatment in the future.

TMT-coupled phosphoproteomics support novel role of TWEAK/Fn14 signaling in synaptic function

Project description:The study aims at illustrate novel role of TWEAK/Fn14 signaling in synapse function by combining electrophysiological and phosphoproteomic approaches. The results show that TWEAK acutely dampens basal synaptic transmission and plasticity through neuronal Fn14 and impacts the phosphorylation state of pre- and post-synaptic proteins in adult mouse hippocampal slices. Two models featuring synaptic deficits were used in the study. Blocking TWEAK/Fn14 signaling augments synaptic function in hippocampal slices from amyloid beta-overexpressing mice. After stroke, genetic or pharmacological inhibition of TWEAK/Fn14 signaling augments basal synaptic transmission and normalizes plasticity. Our data support a glial/neuronal axis that critically modifies synaptic physiology and pathophysiology in different contexts in the mature brain and may be a therapeutic target for improving neurophysiological outcomes.

TWEAK/Fn14 axis is a therapeutic target for post-angioplasty restenosis

Project description:Aim: Next generation sequencing-based methods were performed to identify genes and pathways regulated by TWEAK in VSMCs Methods: Using a gene-set enrichment method, we found a functional module involved in cell proliferation defined as the minimal network connecting top TWEAK up-regulated genes. Results: TWEAK increased the number of VSMCs in S phase and the total number of proliferative cells. Conclusions: Our data define a major role of TWEAK/Fn14 in the control of VSMCs proliferation and migration during neointimal hyperplasia after wire injury in mice, and identify TWEAK/Fn14 as a potential target for treating restenosis after angioplasty. provide a framework for comparative investigations of expression profiles. Our results show that NGS offers a comprehensive and more accurate quantitative and qualitative evaluation of mRNA content within a cell or tissue. We conclude that RNA-seq based transcriptome characterization would expedite genetic network analyses and permit the dissection of complex biologic functions.

Fibroblasts expressing PIEZO2 mechanoreceptor in keloids possibly cause alloknesis and short-term recurrence after surgical resection [RNA-seq]

Project description:Keloids are scar tissue that can develop under tensile stress and manifest the tactile itch called alloknesis due to the heterogeneous course. But the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying the pathology of keloid have been still unknown. Here, we found that unique fibroblast subpopulation that have dense-core granules with enhanced expression of PIEZO2 in the dermal layer of keloid tissue with alloknesis, a pressure-tactile itch. PIEZO2-expressed fibroblasts showed enhanced expression of COL1A1, COL1A2 and COL3A1. Gene expression profile analysis of fibrous disease tissues could distinguish the keloid cases by higher PIEZO2, which correlated with collagen COL1A1, COL1A2, and COL3A1 gene expression, not only from the keloid cases with lower PIEZO2 expression but also from the lymphedema cases where massive fibroblast proliferation appears. Notably, patients with the keloid accompanied by higher expression of PIEZO2 showed a significantly shorter time to recurrence after keloidectomy in patients with the keloids (4/5 vs. 0/5, p = 0.047). Thus, a unique subset of PIEZO2-positive fibroblasts may be involved in a keloid pathology and be a potent therapeutic target for the intractable keloids.

Hypoxia and HIF-1α Regulate Collagen Production in Keloids

Project description:Keloids are reactive or spontaneous fibroproliferative dermal tumors characterized by the exaggerated and uncontrolled accumulation of extracellular collagen. Current approaches to mitigate keloidogenesis are largely procedural in nature. However, a better understanding of its biological drivers may lead to novel targeted treatments for keloids. Through whole-genome expression analysis, we found that a HIF-1α transcriptional footprint is preferentially upregulated (activation score=2.024; p=1.05E-19) in keloid fibroblasts (KFs) compared to normal dermal fibroblasts (NFs). We verified that HIF-1α protein is more strongly expressed in keloid specimens compared to normal skin (p=0.035) and that hypoxia (1% O2) leads to increased collagen, especially in the extracellular compartment. Collagen levels were uniformly reduced by selective HIF-1α inhibitor CAY10585. Our results indicate that collagen secretion may be intimately linked to a hypoxic microenvironment within keloid tumors and that HIF-1α blockade could be a novel avenue of treatment for these tumors.

Extracellular matrix analysis of human keloid scars

Project description:Fibrosis is vaguely described as connective tissue deposition that can be excessive in pathological conditions. This suggests a quantitative spectrum of fibrosis wherein there can be more or less extracellular matrix (ECM), which in the context of a repairing skin wound could reflect the range from normal scar to keloid. This depiction, however, does not encompass the potential qualitative differences between normal and pathological scars. In keloids, the markedly different physical (hard and dense) and histological (hyalinization) characteristics compared to normal scars indicate an altered and inappropriate matrix, rather than simply too much. With this quantitative discovery-based proteomics we provide a thorough molecular description of keloid lesions relative to normal scars, which is an essential step towards our understanding of this problem.

The Matrisome Reveals the Characterization of Skin Keloid Microenvironment

Project description:Keloids are fibroproliferative dermal tumors of unknown origin that are characterized by the overabundant accumulation of extracellular matrix (ECM) components. The mechanism of keloid formation has remained unclear because of a poor understanding of its molecular basis. In this study, the dermal ECM components of keloids were identified, and the pathological mechanism of keloid formation was characterized using large-scale, quantitative proteomic analyses of decellularized keloid biomatrix scaffolds. We identified a total of 267 dermal core ECM and ECM-associated proteins that were differentially expressed between patients with keloids and healthy controls. Skin mechanical properties, key pathways, and biological processes including protease activity, wound healing, and adhesion were disordered in keloids. The integrated network analysis of the upregulated ECM proteins revealed the involvement of estrogen signaling pathways in keloid formation. Our findings may improve the scientific basis of keloid treatment and provide new ideas for the establishment of keloid models.
