ABSTRACT Background: Primary human distal lung/parenchymal fibroblasts (DLF) exhibit a different phenotype from airway fibroblasts (AF), including the expression of high levels of alpha-SMA. The scope of the differences and the mechanisms driving them are unknown. We hypothesized that the distinct ...

Invasive lung myofibroblasts are the main cause of tissue remodeling in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). A key mechanism contributing to this important feature is aberrant crosstalk between the abnormal/injured lung epithelium and pulmonary fibroblasts. Here, we demonstrated that lungs from pati...

Aberrant expression of master phenotype regulators by lung fibroblasts may play a central role in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Interrogating IPF fibroblast transcriptome datasets, we identified Forkhead Box F1 (FOXF1), a DNA-binding protein required for lung development, as a candidate actor...

ABSTRACT Primary human distal lung/parenchymal fibroblasts (DLF) exhibit a different phenotype from airway fibroblasts (AF), including the expression of high levels of a-smooth muscle actin (a-SMA). The scope of the differences and the mechanisms driving them are unknown. To determine whether disti...

Abstract

Background: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic and progressive pulmonary disease, and effective therapies to reverse the natural course of IPF are lacking. A growing number of studies have shown that the use of human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (HUC-...

The interaction of lung epithelial and lung mesenchymal cells (fibroblasts) was investigated in a novel co-culture model of human pulmonary fibrosis. Remarkably, co-culturing both cell types induced cell-type-specific responses, including fibroblast-to-myofibroblast differentiation and epithelial-to...

Pulmonary fibrosis is a chronic, progressive, and lethal interstitial lung disease. It is characterized by extracellular matrix deposition, fibroblast proliferation, and accumulation. Fibroblasts from normal or UIP histology were cultured and analyzed. Keywords: Fibroblasts from normal histology lun...

Activation of telomerase often endows cancer cells, but rarely normal somatic cells, with immortality. Especially, fetal lung fibroblasts are known to be hardly immortalized by TERT overexpression. We here established an immortal non-transformed lung fibroblast cell line only by TERT transfection, a...

Lung alveolarization is a complex process that involves interactions between several cell types and leads to considerable increase in gas-exchange surface area. The step designated secondary septation includes elastogenesis from interstitial fibroblasts. We used microarrays to detail the global prog...

Better understanding alveolarization mechanisms could help improving prevention and treatment of diseases characterized by reduced alveolar number, especially bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). Although signaling through fibroblast growth factor (FGF) receptors is essential for alveolarization, invol...
