Esomeprazole Inhibits Proliferation of Scleroderma Fibroblasts via Cell Cycle Regulation

ABSTRACT: Scleroderma is a complex autoimmune disease characterized by abnormal fibroblast proliferation and excessive collagen deposits in the skin and internal organs. We previously showed that esomeprazole, an FDA-approved drug for gastric disorders, may prevent dermal fibrosis. Here, we demonstrate that esomeprazole exerts anti-proliferative effects on scleroderma fibroblasts by interfering with cell cycle regulation. To test this, we evaluated the antiproliferative effect of esomeprazole and the underlying molecular mechanisms using primary fibroblasts derived from patients with scleroderma. BrdU incorporation, flow cytometry, immunofluorescence, Western blot analysis, RNA sequencing, and functional enrichment analysis all showed a decrease in fibroblast proliferation. In addition, esomeprazole inhibited the proliferation of scleroderma fibroblasts in a dose-dependent manner, as measured by the Ki-67 marker. Intriguingly, esomeprazole arrested fibroblasts in the G1 phase of the cell cycle, resulting in a reduction of cells in the S phase. Expression of p21, a known inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs), was elevated, while CDK1 and CDK2 levels decreased following esomeprazole treatment. These data provide important insights into how esomeprazole regulates fibroblast proliferation in scleroderma and suggest that it may represent a potential therapeutic intervention for scleroderma.

IL-6 Trans-Signaling in a Humanized Mouse Model of Scleroderma

Project description:Fibrosis is regulated by interactions between immune and mesenchymal cells. However, the capacity of cell types to modulate human fibrosis pathology is poorly understood due to lack of a fully humanized model system. MISTRG6 mice were engineered by homologous mouse/human gene replacement to develop an immune system like humans when engrafted with human hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) (1, 2). We utilized MISTRG6 mice to model scleroderma by transplantation of healthy or scleroderma skin from a patient with pansclerotic morphea to humanized mice engrafted with unmatched allogeneic HSC. We discovered that scleroderma skin grafts contained both skin and bone marrow derived human CD4 and CD8 T cells along with human endothelial cells and pericytes. Unlike healthy skin, fibroblasts in scleroderma skin were depleted and replaced by mouse fibroblasts. Furthermore, HSC engraftment alleviated multiple signatures of fibrosis, including expression of collagen and interferon genes, and proliferation and activation of human T cells. Fibrosis improvement correlated with reduced markers of T cell activation and expression of human IL-6 by mesenchymal cells. Mechanistic studies supported a model whereby IL-6 trans-signaling driven by CD4 T cell derived soluble IL-6 receptor complexed with fibroblast derived IL-6 promoted excess ECM gene expression. Thus, MISTRG6 mice transplanted with scleroderma skin demonstrated multiple fibrotic responses centered around human IL-6 signaling, which was improved by the presence of healthy bone marrow derived immune cells. Our results highlight the importance of IL-6 trans-signaling in pathogenesis of scleroderma and the ability of healthy bone marrow derived immune cells to mitigate disease.

Scleroderma Morphea Normal Fibroblasts

Project description:Fibroblast were isolated from either back or forearm punch biopsies taken by Dr. Kari Connolly(UCSF) from either normal control patients, patients with a diagnosis of Systemic Sclerosis with Diffuse Scleroderma and patients with a diagnosis of morphea. Scleroderma fibroblast were grown to confluence, media was changed and the RNA prepared from the cells 48 hrs later (to avoid serum responsive genes). A disease state experiment design type is where the state of some disease such as infection, pathology, syndrome, etc is studied. Keywords: disease_state_design

Systemic and cell type-specific gene expression patterns in scleroderma skin

Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE3886: Scleroderma Morphea Normal Fibroblasts GSE3887: Scleroderma Architecture Cell Lines Abstract: We used DNA microarrays representing >12,000 human genes to characterize gene expression patterns in skin biopsies from individuals with a diagnosis of systemic sclerosis with diffuse scleroderma. We found consistent differences in the patterns of gene expression between skin biopsies from individuals with scleroderma and those from normal, unaffected individuals. The biopsies from affected individuals showed nearly indistinguishable patterns of gene expression in clinically affected and clinically unaffected tissue, even though these were clearly distinguishable from the patterns found in similar tissue from unaffected individuals. Genes characteristically expressed in endothelial cells, B lymphocytes, and fibroblasts showed differential expression between scleroderma and normal biopsies. Analysis of lymphocyte populations in scleroderma skin biopsies by immunohistochemistry suggest the B lymphocyte signature observed on our arrays is from CD20+ B cells. These results provide evidence that scleroderma has systemic manifestations that affect multiple cell types and suggests genes that could be used as potential markers for the disease Refer to individual Series

IL13 and CCL2 drive disease in an inflammatory subset of Scleroderma [IL4]

Project description:Scleroderma is a lethal and currently irreversible autoimmune disease characterized by widespread tissue fibrosis and vasculopathy. Using cross-species comparative gene expression profiling we show that murine sclerodematous graft-versus-host disease (sclGVHD) approximates an “inflammatory” subset of human scleroderma and that both diseases demonstrate activation of the IL13 cytokine pathway. We report that both host myeloid cells expressing type I and II activated macrophage markers and graft T-cells produce IL13 and that host mice deficient in either IL13 or IL4Ra, an IL13 signal transducer, are protected from disease. This signaling pathway converges on a single gene, CCL2, which is coordinately upregulated in sclGVHD, in the human inflammatory scleroderma subset and in IL13 treated human dermal fibroblasts. Accordingly, treatment with antibodies to CCL2, and its murine homolog CCL12, prevent sclGVHD. Lastly, we provide evidence that IL13 pathway activation in early scleroderma patients correlates with modified Rodnan skin scores (mRSS). These data indicate that an inflammatory subset of scleroderma is driven by IL13 and may benefit from IL13 or CCL2 blockade. sample vs reference.
