Redox-sensitive MAPK and Notch3 regulate fibroblast differentiation and activation: a dual role of ERK1/2
Myofibroblastic transformation, characterized by upregulation of α-smooth muscle actin in response to profibrotic agents such as TGF-β1, is considered as a major event leading to fibrosis. The mechanistic basis linking myofibroblast differentiation to idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and the disease tr...

description | Myofibroblastic transformation, characterized by upregulation of α-smooth muscle actin in response to profibrotic agents such as TGF-β1, is considered as a major event leading to fibrosis. The mechanistic basis linking myofibroblast differentiation to idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and the disease treatment remain elusive. In this study, we studied roles of MAPK, Notch, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) during the differentiation of IMR-90 lung fibroblasts at basal level and induced by TGF-β1. Our results demonstrated that ROS-dependent activation of p38, JNK1/2 and Notch3 promoted basal and TGF-β1-induced differentiation and expression of extracellular matrix proteins. In stark contrast, ERK1/2 was suppressed by ROS and exhibited an inhibitory effect on the differentiation but showed a weak promotion on the expression of extracellular matrix proteins. TGF-β1-induced Notch3 expression depended on p38 and JNK1/2. Interestingly, Notch3 was also downstream of ERK1/2, suggesting a complex role of ERK1/2 in lung function. Our results suggest a novel ROS-mediated shift of dominance from the inhibitory ERK1/2 to the stimulatory p38, JNK1/2 and Notch3 during the pathological progression of IPF. Thus, targeting ERK1/2 signaling for activation and p38, JNK1/2 and Notch3 for inhibition may be of clinical potential against lung fibrosis. |
