Development and Preclinical Efficacy of Novel Transforming Growth Factor-β1 (TGFβ1) siRNAs for Pulmonary Fibrosis

ABSTRACT: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is a chronic devastating disease of unknown etiology. No therapy is currently available. A growing body of evidence supports the role of TGFβ1 as the major player in the pathogenesis of the disease. This study designed novel human- and mouse-specific siRNAs and siRNA/DNA chimeras targeting both human and mouse common sequences and evaluated their inhibitory activity in pulmonary fibrosis induced by bleomycin and lung-specific transgenic expression of human TGFβ1. Selective novel sequences of siRNA and siRNA/DNA chimeras efficiently inhibited pulmonary fibrosis, indicating their applicability as tools for treating fibrotic disease in humans.

Selective novel sequences of siRNA and siRNA/DNA chimeras efficiently inhibited pulmonary fibrosis, indicating their applicability as tools for treating fibrotic disease in humans. Total RNA was extracted from lung tissue from mice with bleomycin (BLM)-induced lung fibrosis treated with mouse TGFβ1 siRNAs or vehicle on different days after BLM infusion.

GPCR-induced YAP activation sensitizes fibroblasts to profibrotic effects of TGFβ1

Project description:Fibrosis is an uncontrolled wound healing process resulting from tissue injury, inflammation and fibroblast activation, finally leading to accumulation of extracellular matrix (ECM) components in tissues and to organ failure. The underlying mechanisms of fibrosis have been intensely studied and it has become clear that multiple pathways and their crosstalk regulate fibrotic diseases with a few central players, including TGFβ1. Recently, YAP and TAZ were implicated in fibrosis as one of the essential components of its pathogenesis. YAP/TAZ are known to crosstalk with the TGFβ pathway in the nucleus and regulate its activity on transcriptional level by binding to Smad2/3/4 complexes. We hypothesized that factors, such as GPCR ligands which regulate YAP/TAZ, might modulate the profibrotic responses to TGFβ1. We performed gene expression microarray in NHDF treated with TGFβ1, LPA, the combination of TGFβ1/LPA or vehicle. The aim was to have a broader look at transcriptional signatures induced by the individual treatments and in the combination of TGFβ1 and LPA.

TGFβ1 treatment of A2058 melanoma cells

Project description:4 replicates were prepared from A2058 melanoma cells [transfected with 10ng of empty vector (pcDNA3.1+)] and treated with 5ng/ml TGFβ1 or vehicle control for 24hrs This is the control arm of a larger experiment where cells transfected with a particular expression plasmid were treated with TGFβ1 or control vehicle. The transfection with the expresion plasmid was unsucessful so this empty vector data has been used alone to simply examine the effect of TGFβ1 treatment on A2058 cells.

Whole transcriptome analysis of rat peritoneal cells in a TGFβ1 induced mesothelial-to-mesenchymal transition

Project description:Peritoneal fibrosis is a major complication of long-term peritoneal dialysis (PD), leading to ultrafiltration failure and sometimes life threatening encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis. Fibrosis is driven by activated myofibroblasts that are derived, in part, from mesothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (MMT). We aimed to discover novel mediators of MMT and then experimentally exploit them to prevent peritoneal fibrosis. Using an antibody to HBME-1 and streptavidin nanobead technology, we first pioneered a novel method to purify rat mesothelial cells. After exposing mesothelial cells to transforming growth factor β1 (TGFβ1), we undertook RNAseq whole transcriptome analyses and outlined, the expression profile of sorted mesothelial cells at pre- and post- MMT.

Neuropilin-1 mediates lung tissue-specific control of ILC2s function in type 2 immunity

Project description:ILC2s are highly heterogeneous tissue-resident lymphocytes that regulate inflammation and tissue homeostasis in health and disease. But how they integrate to the respective tissue microenvironment to perform tissue-supportive functions remain poorly defined. Here, we identify neuropilin-1, which is induced postnatally and sustained by lung-derived TGFβ1, as a tissue signature of lung ILC2s. Genetic ablation or pharmacological inhibition of Nrp1 suppresses ILC2s function and protects mice from the development of pulmonary fibrosis. Mechanistically, TGFβ1-Nrp1 signaling enhances ILC2s function and type 2 immunity through upregulation of IL-33 receptor ST2 expression. Our findings identify Nrp1 as a tissue-specific regulator of lung-resident ILC2s activation and highlight Nrp1 as a potential therapeutic target for pulmonary fibrosis

Fibrosis growth factor 23 is a promoting factor for cardiac fibrosis in the presence of transforming growth factor-β1

Project description:We demonstrated that, four weeks after the pulmonary artery banding (PAB) operation, rats could be divided into two groups: an F+ group in which the fibrotic area occupied more than 6.5% of the whole area of the heart tissues, and an F- group in which the fibrotic area occupied less than 6.5% of this area. We used microarrays to elucidate the fibrosis initiating master factor using heart samples obtained from PAB or sham-operated rats.

SSc biomarkers detection in the secretome of TGF1-activated primary human lung fibroblasts.

Project description:TGFβ1 is a profibrotic mediator that contributes to a broad spectrum of pathologies, including pulmonary fibrosis (PF). However, the secretome of TGFβ1-stimulated primary human normal lung (NL) fibroblasts has not been well characterized. Using fluorescent 2-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2D-PAGE) and differential gel electrophoresis (DIGE), we identified 37 differentially secreted proteins in the conditioned media of TGFβ1-activated NL fibroblasts and generated a protein-protein association network of the TGFβ1 secretome using STRING. Functional enrichment revealed that biological processes and pathways characteristics of PF were enriched. Using the DrugBank database, we determined that 32 of the secreted proteins are targets of known experimental, investigational and approved drugs. Additionally, by comparing the TGFβ1 secretome of NL fibroblasts to proteomic biomarkers from biological fluids of systemic sclerosis (SSc) patients, we identified 11 overlapping proteins. Together our data validate the TGFβ1-induced secretome of NL fibroblasts as a valid in vitro model that reflects SSc biomarkers and identifies potential therapeutic targets for SSc-PF.

Molecular characterization of a precision-cut rat lung slice model for the evaluation of anti-fibrotic drugs

Project description:The translation of novel pulmonary fibrosis therapies from preclinical models into the clinic represents a major challenge demonstrated by the high attrition rate of compounds that showed efficacy in preclinical models but demonstrated no significant beneficial effects in clinical trials. Precision-cut lung tissue slice (PCLS) contains all major cell types of the lung and preserves the original cell-cell and cell-matrix contacts. It represents a promising ex vivo model to study pulmonary fibrosis. In this study, using RNA sequencing, we demonstrated that TGFβ1 induced robust fibrotic responses in the rat PCLS model as it changed the expression of genes functionally related to extracellular matrix remodeling, cell adhesion, epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition and various immune responses. Nintedanib, pirfenidone and sorafenib each reversed a subset of genes modulated by TGFβ1 and of those genes we identified 229 genes whose expression was reversed by all three drugs. These genes define a molecular signature characterizing many aspects of pulmonary fibrosis pathology and its attenuation in the rat PCLS fibrosis model. A panel of 12 genes and 3 secreted biomarkers including procollagen I, HA and WISP1 were validated as efficacy endpoints for the evaluation of anti-fibrotic activity of experimental compounds. Finally, we showed that blockade of αV integrins suppressed TGFβ1-induced fibrotic responses in the rat PCLS fibrosis model. Overall, our results suggest that the TGFβ1-induced rat PCLS fibrosis model may represent a valuable system for target validation and to determine the efficacy of experimental compounds.

Transforming growth factor beta 1 induces methylation changes in lung fibroblasts [Illumina]

Project description:Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a complex disease of unknown etiology. Environmental factors can affect disease susceptibility via epigenetic effects. Few studies explore global DNA methylation in lung fibroblasts, but none have focused on transforming growth factor beta-1 (TGF-b1) as a potential modifier of the DNA methylome. Here we analyzed changes in methylation and gene transcription in normal and IPF fibroblasts following TGF-b1 treatment.
