  • Kidney fibrosis initiates at certain focal sites in which the fibrogenic niche provides a specialized microenvironment that facilitates fibroblast activation and proliferation. However, the molecular identity of these fibrogenic niches is poorly characterized. Here, we determined whether tenascin-C (TNC), an extracellular matrix glycoprotein, is a component of the fibrogenic niche in kidney fibrosis. In vivo, TNC expression increased rapidly in kidneys subjected to unilateral ureteral obstruction or ischemia/reperfusion injury and predominantly localized at the foci rich in fibroblasts in renal interstitium. In vitro, TNC selectively promoted renal interstitial fibroblast proliferation, bromodeoxyuridine incorporation, and the expression of proliferation-related genes. The mitogenic activity of TNC required the integrin/focal adhesion kinase/mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling cascade. Using decellularized extracellular matrix scaffolds, we found that TNC-enriched scaffolds facilitated fibroblast proliferation, whereas TNC-deprived scaffolds inhibited proliferation. Matrix scaffold prepared from fibrotic kidney also promoted greater ex vivo fibroblast proliferation than did scaffolds prepared from healthy kidney. Conversely, small interfering RNA-mediated knockdown of TNC in vivo repressed injury-induced fibroblast expansion and renal fibrosis. These studies identify TNC as a major constituent of the fibrogenic niche that promotes fibroblast proliferation, and illustrate a pivotal role for the TNC-enriched microenvironment in kidney fibrogenesis.
