Epithelial to mesenchymal cell transition (EMT), whereby fully differentiated
epithelial cells transition to a mesenchymal phenotype, has been implicated in
the pathogenesis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). CXCR3 and its ligands
are recognized to play a protective role in pulmonary fibrosis. In this study, we
investigated the presence and extent of EMT and CXCR3 expression in human IPF
surgical lung biopsies and assessed whether CXCR3 and its ligand CXCL9 modulate
EMT in alveolar epithelial cells. Coexpression of the epithelial marker thyroid
transcription factor-1 and the mesenchymal marker ?-smooth muscle actin and CXCR3
expression was examined by immunohistochemical staining of IPF surgical lung
biopsies. Epithelial and mesenchymal marker expression was examined by
quantitative real-time PCR, Western blotting, and immunofluorescence in human
alveolar epithelial (A549) cells treated with TGF-?1 and CXCL9, with Smad2,
Smad3, and Smad7 expression and cellular localization examined by Western
blotting. We found that significantly more cells were undergoing EMT in fibrotic
versus normal areas of lung in IPF surgical lung biopsy samples. CXCR3 was
expressed by type II pneumocytes and fibroblasts in fibrotic areas in close
proximity to cells undergoing EMT. In vitro, CXCL9 abrogated TGF-?1-induced EMT.
A decrease in TGF-?1-induced phosphorylation of Smad2 and Smad3 occurred with
CXCL9 treatment. This was associated with increased shuttling of Smad7 from the
nucleus to the cytoplasm where it inhibits Smad phosphorylation. This suggests a
role for EMT in the pathogenesis of IPF and provides a novel mechanism for the
inhibitory effects of CXCL9 on TGF-?1-induced EMT.
