Tissue fibrosis is the primary cause of long-term graft failure after organ
transplantation. In lung allografts, progressive terminal airway fibrosis leads
to an irreversible decline in lung function termed bronchiolitis obliterans
syndrome (BOS). Here, we have identified an autocrine pathway linking nuclear
factor of activated T cells 2 (NFAT1), autotaxin (ATX), lysophosphatidic acid
(LPA), and ?-catenin that contributes to progression of fibrosis in lung
allografts. Mesenchymal cells (MCs) derived from fibrotic lung allografts (BOS
MCs) demonstrated constitutive nuclear ?-catenin expression that was dependent on
autocrine ATX secretion and LPA signaling. We found that NFAT1 upstream of ATX
regulated expression of ATX as well as ?-catenin. Silencing NFAT1 in BOS MCs
suppressed ATX expression, and sustained overexpression of NFAT1 increased ATX
expression and activity in non-fibrotic MCs. LPA signaling induced NFAT1 nuclear
translocation, suggesting that autocrine LPA synthesis promotes NFAT1
transcriptional activation and ATX secretion in a positive feedback loop. In an
in vivo mouse orthotopic lung transplant model of BOS, antagonism of the LPA
receptor (LPA1) or ATX inhibition decreased allograft fibrosis and was associated
with lower active ?-catenin and dephosphorylated NFAT1 expression. Lung
allografts from ?-catenin reporter mice demonstrated reduced ?-catenin
transcriptional activation in the presence of LPA1 antagonist, confirming an in
vivo role for LPA signaling in ?-catenin activation.
