Effects of mycophenolic acid on human fibroblast proliferation, migration and adhesion in vitro and in vivo

ABSTRACT: Mycophenolic acid (MPA) is a potent inhibitor of the inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase and commonly used as an immunosuppressive drug in transplantation. MPA inhibits proliferation of both T- and B-lymphocytes by guansoin depletion. Since fibroblasts rely on the de novo synthesis of guanosin nucleotides, it is assumed that MPA interacts with fibroblasts causing an increased frequency of wound healing problems. We show a downregulation of the cytoskeletal proteins actin, vinculin and tubulin in human dermal fibroblasts exposed to pharmacologic doses of MPA using microarray technology and western blot. This reduction in protein content is accompanied by a substantial derangement of the cytoskeleton in MPA-treated fibroblasts as documented by confocal microscopy. The dysfunctional fibroblast growth was validated by scratch test documenting impaired migrational capacity. The results of the cultured dermal fibroblasts were applied to skin biopsies of renal transplant recipients. Skin biopsies of patients treated with MPA expressed less tubulin and actin as compared to control biopsies which could explain potential wound healing problems post transplantation. The perspective of MPA-induced cytoskeletal dysfunction may go beyond wound healing disturbances and has potential beneficial effects on (renal) allografts with respect to scarring. Keywords: Timecourse and MPA and/or Guanosin response

MSCs Exposed to Keratinocyte Condition Medium

2009-06-30 | GSE13073 | GEO

Transcription profiling of human mesechymal stem cells exposed to keratinocyte conditioned medium

Project description:In the present study, we demonstrate that hMSCs migrate toward human keratinocytes as well as toward conditioned medium from cultured human keratinocytes (KCM) indicating that the hMSCs can respond to signals from keratinocytes. Incubation of hMSCs with KCM induced dermal myofibroblast like differentiation characterized by expression of cytoskeletal markers vinculin and F-actin filaments with increased expression of alpha smooth muscle actin. We then examined the therapeutic efficacy of hMSCs in wound healing in two animal models representing normal and chronic wound healing. Accelerated wound healing, as determined by quantitative measurements of wound area, was observed when hMSCs and KCM exposed hMSCs (KCMSCs) were injected near the site of incisional/excisional wounds in nondiabetic athymic and NOD/SCID mice as compared with normal human fetal lung fibroblast WI38 cells or saline control induced wound healing. Experiment Overall Design: Keratinocyte conditioned media exposed MSCs(KCMSCs) were used in the experiment in triplicates as follows; Experiment Overall Design: KCM_1 Experiment Overall Design: KCM_2 Experiment Overall Design: KCM_3 Experiment Overall Design: Where as MSCs were exposed to Keratinocyte growth media for 30 days were used as a controls as follow; Experiment Overall Design: KGM_1 Experiment Overall Design: KGM_2 Experiment Overall Design: KGM_3 Experiment Overall Design: All the samples were analyzed.

High-salt diet promotes hypertrophic scarring through TRPC3-mediated mitochondrial Ca2+ homeostasis dysfunction

Project description:Diet High in salt content have been associated with cardiovascular disease and chronic inflammation. We recently demonstrated that transient receptor potential canonical 3 (TRPC3) channels regulate myofibroblast transdifferentiation in hypertrophic scars. Here, we examined how high salt activation of TRPC3 participates in hypertrophic scarring during wound healing. In vitro, we confirmed that high salt increased the TRPC3 protein expression and the marker of myofibroblast alpha smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) in wild-type mice (WT) primary cultured dermal fibroblasts but not Trpc3-/- mice. Activation of TRPC3 by high salt elevated cytosolic Ca2+ influx and mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake in dermal fibroblasts in a TRPC3-dependent manner. High salt activation of TRPC3 enhanced mitochondrial respiratory dysfunction and excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) production by inhibiting pyruvate dehydrogenase action, that activated ROS-triggered Ca2+ influx and the Rho kinase/MLC pathway in WT mice but not Trpc3-/- mice. In vivo, a persistent high-salt diet promoted myofibroblast transdifferentiation and collagen deposition in a TRPC3-dependent manner. Therefore, this study demonstrates that high salt enhances myofibroblast transdifferentiation and promotes hypertrophic scar formation through enhanced mitochondrial Ca2+ homeostasis, which activates the ROS-mediated pMLC/pMYPT1 pathway. TRPC3 deficiency antagonizes high salt diet-induced hypertrophic scarring. TRPC3 may be a novel target for hypertrophic scarring during wound healing.

Eicosanoid profiles of dermal fibroblasts (part-II)

Project description:The sphingolipid, ceramide-1-phosphate (C1P), directly binds and activates Group IVA cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2) to generate eicosanoids. Due to the role of eicosanoids in wound healing, we choose to use our novel genetic mouse model expressing cPLA2 with an ablated C1P interaction site (KI) to examine the cPLA2/C1P interaction in wound healing. Wound closure rate was not affected, but wound maturation was enhanced by loss of the C1P/cPLA2α interaction based on the following findings. Wounds in KI mice displayed: i) increased infiltration of dermal fibroblasts into the wound environment; ii) increased wound tensile strength; and iii) higher Type I/Type III collagen ratios. These findings were recapitulated in vitro as primary dermal fibroblasts (pDFs) from KI mice showed significantly increased collagen deposition and migration velocity compared to WT and KO pDFs. Additionally, the KI showed an altered eicosanoid profile of reduced pro-inflammatory prostaglandins (PGE2) and increased levels of specific HETE species (5-HETE). Elevated 5-HETE levels promoted increased dermal fibroblast migration and collagen deposition. This “gain of function” role for the mutant cPLA2 was also linked to differential cellular localization of cPLA2α and 5-HETE biosynthetic factors. These studies demonstrate regulation of key biological mechanisms by a defined protein:lipid interaction in vivo and provide new insights into cPLA2 function.

A global transcriptome analysis of human dermal fibroblasts upon overexpression of microRNA-132

Project description:MiR-132 is one of the most upregulated miRNAs in human skin wounds at the inflammatory phase of healing; however its biological role in dermal fibroblasts during wound repair has not been studied. To study the genes regulated by miR-132, we transfected miR-132 mimics (pre-miR-132) into primary human dermal fibroblasts to overexpress miR-132. We performed a global transcriptome analysis of fibroblasts upon overexpression of miR-132 using Affymetrix arrays.

Keratinocyte Wnt5β promotes dermal adipogenesis by simultaneously regulating adipocyte precursor cell conversion and adipogenic signaling

Project description:Skin is the largest organ in the body and comprises several types of cells. The intercellular plasticity of keratinocytes, fibroblasts, and skin adipocytes contributes to wound healing and dermal adipogenesis. Although keratinocyte activates dermal adipose tissue (dWAT) differentiation upon hair follicular cycle, regulating dWAT hyperplasia through keratinocyte reprogramming is still unknown. We used the CRISPR/Cas9 base editor to induce single nucleotide polymorphisms in Forkhead-box N1 (Foxn1) and identified the p.L19M variant that induced the formation of a thicker dWAT regardless of hair follicular cycle or wound healing. Foxn1 p.L19M activates Wnt5β through transcriptional activity. Wnt5β signaling induces the conversion of dWAT dermal fibroblasts into adipose precursor cells (APCs) and promotes APC adipocyte differentiation through keratinocyte epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and adipogenic signaling. Wnt5β is involved in the entire process of dWAT hyperplasia through APC supply and adipogenic signaling as a single factor. Foxn1 p.L19M and Wnt5β are expressed in keratinocytes, and a keratinocyte-derived adipogenic signal is critical for dermal adipogenesis. In addition, transient expression of Foxn1 p.L19M or Wnt5β using adeno-associated virus reproduced dermal adipocyte hyperplasia in mice. Considering the increasing importance of dWAT in functions such as the immune response, wound healing, hair follicle growth, and temperature control, this finding has potential applications in skin regeneration

Human cWAF LC-MS/MS

Project description:Chronic skin wounds accompany many widespread, chronic and age-related diseases and are a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Both, keratinocytes and skin fibroblasts contribute to the pathomechanisms observed in chronic wounds. Whereas dysregulated pathways in the epidermis have been extensively studied, little is known on the influence of dermal fibroblasts on chronic wounding. We isolated fibroblasts from chronic wounds and show that they are a distinct cell type that can be propagated in vitro. Chronic wound-associated fibroblasts (cWAFs) exhibit a unique proteome profile characteristic for a decreased propensity for cell proliferation and migration but with an enhanced ability to contract the extracellular matrix. Commonly, they display lysosomal dysfunction and dysregulated TGFbeta signaling. Here, we define intrinsic and extrinsic properties of cWAFs that may contribute to pathological wound healing.

Role of stromal fibroblasts and myofibroblasts in corneal wound healing

Project description:Transparent avascular cornea providing two third refraction to the eye. Restoration of corneal transparency and clear vision in a traumatic eye involves the action of many cytokines and signaling pathways. Out of several factors, stromal keratocytes/fibroblasts (CSFs) play a central role in corneal repair and wound healing. Post trauma, keratocytes/fibroblasts produce myofibroblasts to facilitate wound repair by synthesizing and secreting large extracellular matrix components, collagens, and alpha-smooth muscle actin stress fibers. This study aimed to perform RNASeq data analysis and pathway enrichments to gain a better understanding of gene regulation in corneal fibroblasts and myofibroblasts in corneal wound repair.
