The Nuclear Receptor Testicular Receptor 4 Orchestrates Cytoskeletal Organization in a G Protein Subunit Alpha 12/Rho‐Associated Protein Kinase–Dependent Manner to Promote Myofibroblast Differentiation and Tissue Fibrosis in Systemic Sclerosis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Members of the superfamily of nuclear receptors have been implicated in inflammatory processes and pathologic tissue remodeling and have emerged as attractive targets for pharmaceutical intervention. However, the role of testicular receptor 4 (TR4; or Nr2c2) in fibroblast activation and rheumatologic diseases has not yet been investigated ...

Subretinal fibrosis secondary to neovascular age-related macular degeneration: mechanisms and potential therapeutic targets

Neural Regeneration Research
Subretinal fibrosis is the end-stage sequelae of neovascular age-related macular degeneration. It causes local damage to photoreceptors, retinal pigment epithelium, and choroidal vessels, which leads to permanent central vision loss of patients with ...

Myofibroblast differentiation in human normal (HNL), cystic fibrosis (CF) and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) lung tissue.

, 2013
A) Immunohistochemical staining for α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), the contractile element in myofibrobroblasts. Myofibroblast accumulation is significantly accentuated in cystic fibrosis (CF) and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) compared to non ...

Expert Perspectives: Defining and Managing Progressive Pulmonary Fibrosis in Systemic Sclerosis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Systemic sclerosis–associated interstitial lung disease (SSc‐ILD) is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in SSc, affecting up to three‐quarters of patients. The disease course is highly heterogeneous, ranging from indolent, nonprogressive forms to rapidly progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF).

Human Fibroblast–Myeloid Cell Tissue Atlas Across the Lungs, Synovium, Skin, and Heart

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective The availability of single‐cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq) data in different tissues and disease states provides an opportunity to compare cellular subsets and identify common and unique cellular activation. In this study, we aimed to characterize shared and tissue‐specific myeloid and stromal phenotypes and to uncover key cellular subtypes ...

Induction of cellular autophagy impairs TGF-β1-mediated extracellular matrix deposition in primary human knee fibroblasts

Bone & Joint Research
Aims: To evaluate the role of autophagy in primary knee fibroblasts undergoing myofibroblast differentiation as an in vitro model of arthrofibrosis, a complication after total knee arthroplasty characterized by aberrant intra-articular scar tissue ...

Comparative Transcriptional Profiling of Key Macrophage and Fibroblast Subpopulations in Rheumatoid Arthritis–Associated Lung Disease

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) often involves extra‐articular complications, including interstitial lung disease (ILD) and/or pulmonary nodules. Transcriptomic profiling of lung tissue provides the opportunity to directly assess cell‐specific gene expression and corresponding pathway activation in different types of rheumatoid lung disease ...

Abatacept Reduces CD319+ (SLAMF7) Cytotoxic T Cells and Cytokine Production in Systemic Sclerosis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is characterized by immune dysregulation and fibrosis. We investigated whether abatacept modulates CD319/SLAMF7‐expressing cytotoxic T cells implicated in diffuse cutaneous SSc. Methods In this ancillary ASSET trial analysis, peripheral blood mononuclear cells from 67 participants were analyzed at baseline and months ...

Extracellular Vesicles‐Based Biological Macromolecule Delivery Systems: Biogenesis, Characterization, and Emerging Clinical Applications

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are nanoscale membrane‐bound structures that play a pivotal role in intercellular communication by transporting bioactive molecules, including proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, and organelles, between cells. Originating from the endosomal pathway, EVs reflect the physiological and pathological status of their parent

Signaling Mechanisms Underlying Cxcl5-Mediated Fibroblast to Myofibroblast Phenoconversion

, 2017
Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) comprise a number of medical conditions including weak stream, incomplete bladder voiding, and nocturia that affect quality of life and can progress to more severe symptoms if left untreated.
