Project description:As a group, fibroproliferative disorders of the lung, liver, kidney, heart, vasculature and integument are common, progressive and refractory to therapy. They can emerge following toxic insults, but are frequently idiopathic. Their enigmatic propensity to resist therapy and progress to organ failure has focused attention on the myofibroblast – the primary effector of the fibroproliferative response. A central unanswered question is whether these myofibroblasts have acquired a distinct pathological phenotype - or whether they are normal myofibroblasts with a pathological phenotype that depends upon residing in a sea of pro-fibrotic cytokines and an abnormal extracellular matrix. Using a systems approach to study this question in a prototype fibrotic disease, Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF); here we show organized changes in the gene expression pathway of primary lung myofibroblasts that persist for up to 9 sub-cultivations in vitro. When comparing IPF and control myofibroblasts in a 3-dimensional type I collagen matrix, more genes differed at the level of ribosome recruitment than at the level of transcript abundance, indicating pathological translational control as a major characteristic of IPF myofibroblasts. To determine the effect of matrix state on translational control, myofibroblasts were permitted to contract the matrix. Ribosome recruitment in control myofibroblasts was relatively stable. In contrast, IPF cells manifested large alterations in the ribosome recruitment pattern. Pathological studies suggest an epithelial origin for IPF myofibroblasts through the epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT). In accord with this, we found systems-level indications for TGF?b -driven EMT as one source of IPF myofibroblasts.

Project description:Purpose: Our previous clinical trials have been demonstrated that Anlotinib can inhibit tumor growth upon refractory advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with the possibility mechanism of anti-angiogenesis. The present study sought to reveal the underlying molecular mechanism of Anlotinib-induced anti-angiogenesis in advanced NSCLC. Experimental Design: Computed tomography (CT) was used to evaluate the treatment effect of Anlotinib upon refractory advanced NSCLC patients. Transcriptome profiling was performed to identify the key gene expression alteration in NCI-H1975 cells before and after Anlotinib treatment. NCI-H1975 derived xenograft model was applied to investigate treatment effect and verify anti-angiogenesis mechanism of Anlotinib. Results: Anlotinib induces tumor cytotoxicity on refractory advanced NSCLC patients, NCI-H1975 derived xenograft models and lung adenocarcinoma cell lines. Transcriptome profiling revealed CCL2 blockade could be responsible for Anlotinib-induced anti-angiogenesis. NCI-H1975 derived xenograft model demonstrated Anlotinib-induced CCL2 blockade play an important role in anti-angiogenesis. Conclusions: This study not only offered the first evidence that Anlotinib inhibits angiogenesis via blocking CCL2 expression, but also provided a novel theoretical basis for the application of Anlotinib in advanced NSCLC patients.
