BACKGROUND: Ras homolog gene family, member A (RhoA)/Rho-associated coiled-coil
forming protein kinase signaling is a key pathway in multiple types of solid
organ fibrosis, including intestinal fibrosis. However, the pleiotropic effects
of RhoA/Rho-associated coiled-coil forming protein kinase signaling have
frustrated targeted drug discovery efforts. Recent recognition of the role of
Rho-regulated gene transcription by serum response factor (SRF) and its
transcriptional cofactor myocardin-related transcription factor A (MRTF-A)
suggest a novel locus for pharmacological intervention. METHODS: Because RhoA
signaling is mediated by both physical and biochemical stimuli, we examined
whether pharmacological inhibition of RhoA or the downstream transcription
pathway of MRTF-A/SRF could block intestinal fibrogenesis in 2 in vitro models.
RESULTS: In this study, we demonstrate that inhibition of RhoA signaling blocks
both matrix-stiffness and transforming growth factor beta-induced fibrogenesis in
human colonic myofibroblasts. Repression of alpha-smooth muscle actin and
collagen expression was associated with the inhibition of MRTF-A nuclear
localization. CCG-1423, a first-generation Rho/MRTF/SRF pathway inhibitor,
repressed fibrogenesis in both models, yet has unacceptable cytotoxicity. Novel
second-generation inhibitors (CCG-100602 and CCG-203971) repressed both
matrix-stiffness and transforming growth factor beta-mediated fibrogenesis as
determined by protein and gene expression in a dose-dependent manner.
CONCLUSIONS: Targeting the Rho/MRTF/SRF mechanism with second-generation
Rho/MRTF/SRF inhibitors may represent a novel approach to antifibrotic
therapeutics.
