Project description:Hyaluronan (HA) provides moisturizing benefits and exhibits unique biological activities based on its molecular weight. While the anti-inflammatory effects of high-molecular-weight HA have been well studied, the impact of hyaluronan tetrasaccharide (HA4), an ultralow-molecular-weight HA, on the skin immune system is not fully understood. Thus, we investigated how HA4 affects the differentiation of M1 macrophages, which increase during photoaging. As a result, we added HA4 during the M1 macrophage differentiation phase and conducted a gene expression analysis. HA4 partially decreased the transition from M0 to M1 macrophages and reduced the expression of proinflammatory cytokines like IL-6. However, the M2 marker IL-1ra increased, while IL-10 levels remained constant, suggesting that HA4 does not fully polarize macrophages toward the M2 phenotype. Normal human dermal fibroblasts (NHDF) were treated with an M1 macrophage-conditioned medium (M1-CM) and a modified version containing HA4 (M1+HA4-CM). The M1+HA4-CM notably decreased the expression of IL-6 and IL-8, along with the collagen-degrading enzyme MMP1. Collagen synthesis assays showed that HA4 helped restore collagen fiber formation. Moreover, RNA-seq analysis of NHDF treated with the conditioned medium confirmed that M1+HA4-CM amplified the expression of genes related to collagen production while decreasing collagen-degrading enzyme gene expression. Neutralization assays employing a TLR4 antibody suggested that decreasing IL-6 in NHDF by HA4 may be independent of the TLR4 signaling pathway. HA4 is vital in partially suppressing M1 macrophage differentiation and the release of inflammatory factors, as well as regulating collagen remodeling in NHDF. These findings indicate that HA4 holds promise as a molecule for mitigating inflammation-induced collagen degradation by modulating macrophage activity in photoaged skin.

Project description:A hallmark of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis is the TGF-β-dependent activation of lung fibroblasts, leading to excessive deposition of collagen proteins and progressive scarring. We have previously shown that synthesis of collagen by lung fibroblasts requires de novo synthesis of glycine, the most abundant amino acid in collagen protein. TGF-β upregulates the expression of the enzymes of the de novo serine/glycine synthesis pathway in lung fibroblasts through mTORC1 and ATF4-dependent transcriptional programs. SHMT2, the final enzyme of the de novo serine/glycine synthesis pathway, transfers a one-carbon unit from serine to tetrahydrofolate (THF), producing glycine and 5,10-methylene-THF (meTHF). meTHF is converted back to THF in the mitochondrial one-carbon (1C) pathway through the sequential actions of MTHFD2 (which converts meTHF to 10-formyl-THF), and either MTHFD1L, which produces formate, or ALDH1L2, which produces CO2. It is unknown how the mitochondrial 1C pathway contributes to glycine biosynthesis or collagen protein production in fibroblasts, or fibrosis in vivo. Here, we demonstrate that TGF-β induces the expression of MTHFD2, MTHFD1L, and ALDH1L2 in human lung fibroblasts. MTHFD2 expression was required for TGF-β-induced cellular glycine accumulation and collagen protein production.

Project description:Communications between cardiomyocytes and fibroblasts in the heart are thought to occur through both secreted growth factors and via alterations in the structural properties of the extracellular matrix that each of the cell types helps generate. While perturbations in fibroblast activity are known to impact development of cardiomyocyte hypertrophy, the specific role played by collagen in this intercellular communication remains unknown. In this study we addressed this knowledge gap through differential regulation of collagen 1a2 using mouse hearts. The microarray assays reported here were carried out to assess the effects of collagen 1a2 ablation on cardiac transcriptional profiles.

Project description:Collagen- and fibrin-based gels are extensively used to study cell behaviour. However, 2D-3D, collagen-fibrin, and in vivo-in vitro comparisons of gene expression, cell shape and mechanotransduction have not been reported. Here we compared chick tendon fibroblasts (CTFs) at three stages of embryonic development with CTFs cultured in collagen- or fibrin-based tissue engineered constructs (TECs).

Project description:Objectives: The collagen VI related muscular dystrophies (COL6-RD), Ullrich congenital muscular dystrophy (UCMD) and Bethlem myopathy (BM) are among the most common congenital muscular dystrophies, but the pathogenesis, including the role of mutant collagen VI in the matrix is poorly understood. To better define the pathways disrupted by mutations in collagen VI, we have used a transcriptional profiling approach with RNA-Seq to identify differentially expressed genes in COL6-RD patients from controls. Methods: We have used RNA-Seq to identify differentially expressed genes in cultured dermal fibroblasts from 13 COL6-RD patients (8 dominant negative and 5 null) and 6 controls. Sequence reads were analyzed using the TopHat/Cufflinks pipeline. Results: Differentially expressed transcripts between COL6-RD patient and control fibroblasts include upregulation of ECM components and downregulation of factors controlling matrix remodeling and repair. DN and null samples are differentiated by downregulation of genes involved with DNA replication and repair in null samples

Project description:The aberrant production of collagen by fibroblasts is a hallmark of many solid tumors and can influence cancer progression. How fibroblasts produce collagen within tumor microenvironments which are nutrient-poor is not understood. Here, we show that pyruvate carboxylase (PC) activity increases in fibroblasts cultured in a low glutamine environment, and that PC is required for collagen production by tumor-associated fibroblasts in vivo.

Project description:Keloids comprise an inflammatory fibroproliferative skin disorder characterized by excessive scarring. Fibroblasts play a pivotal role in skin fibrosis, exhibiting heightened collagen deposition. To investigate the molecular drivers of excessive collagen deposition in keloid, we compared the transcriptome of keloids and adjacent normal skin which demonstrated significant shifts towards bone and cartilage lineages in keloids, along with RUNX2, a key regulator of osteogenic and chondrogenic differentiation, notably upregulated. We then confirmed elevated levels of RUNX2 protein and phosphorylated RUNX2 in keloid tissue and fibroblasts compared to normal skin and normal dermal fibroblasts. To delve into how RUNX2 overexpression could contribute to keloids pathogenesis, we performed siRNA-mediated knockdown of RUNX2 in keloid fibroblasts followed by mRNA-sequencing. The results revealed significant downregulation of collagen genes COL11A1, COL5A3, COL15A1, and COL6A6, in knock-down vs. control groups along with GO enrichment analysis showing perturbation of genes involved in collagen and ECM organization. Further functional studies utilizing Runx2-knockout mice confirmed downregulation of these collagen genes along with reduced dermis thickness and reduced total dermal collagen in Runx2-knockout vs. Runx2- wild mice. These findings underscore the critical contribution of RUNX2 to collagen remodeling in keloid and provide potential therapeutic target.

Project description:The human cornea relies on its extracellular matrix (ECM) properties, with corneal stromal fibroblasts (CSFs) crucial for ECM remodeling. We studied the effects of nanofibrillar materials on CSFs using a decellularized human amniotic membrane (dHAM) and fibrillar collagen scaffold (FCS). FCS enhances focal adhesions (FAs), activating mechanotransduction signals through FAK autophosphorylation and YAP1 nuclear translocation. Nanofibrillar topography induces gene expression changes related to tissue remodeling and collagen production. Here, we performed shotgun proteomics analysis (DDA-PASEF in TimsToF Pro) to analyze the impact of FCS topography on CSFs protein expression.
