  • INTRODUCTION: Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a complex and not fully understood autoimmune disease associated with fibrosis of multiple organs. The main effector cells, the myofibroblasts, are collagen-producing cells derived from the activation of resting fibroblasts. This process is regulated by a complex repertoire of profibrotic cytokines, and among them transforming growth factor beta (TGF-?) and endothelin-1 (ET-1) play a major role. In this paper we show that TGF-? and ET-1 receptors co-operate in myofibroblast activation, and macitentan, an ET-1 receptor antagonist binding ET-1 receptors, might interfere with both TGF-? and ET-1 pathways, preventing myofibroblast differentiation. METHODS: Fibroblasts isolated from healthy controls and SSc patients were treated with TGF-? and ET-1 and successively analyzed for alpha smooth muscle actin (?-SMA) and collagen (Col1A1) expression and for the Sma and Mad Related (SMAD) phosphorylation. We further tested the ability of macitentan to interfere with these process. Furthermore, we silenced ET-1 and endothelin-1 receptor A expression and evaluated the formation of an ET-1/TGF-? receptor complex by immunoprecitation assay. RESULTS: We showed myofibroblast activation in SSc fibroblasts assessing the expression of ?-SMA and Col1A1, after stimulation with TGF-? and ET-1. Macitentan interfered with both ET-1- and TGF-?-induced fibroblast activation. To explain this unexpected inhibitory effect of macitentan on TGF-? activity, we silenced ET-1 expression on SSc fibroblasts and co-immunoprecipitated these two receptors, showing the formation of an ET-1/TGF-? receptor complex. CONCLUSIONS: During SSc, ET-1 produced by activated endothelia contributes to myofibroblast activation using TGF-? machinery via an ET-1/TGF-? receptor complex. Macitentan interferes with the profibrotic action of TGF-?, blocking the ET-1 receptor portion of the ET-1/TGF-? receptor complex.
