Anti-connective tissue growth factor (CTGF/CCN2) monoclonal antibody attenuates skin fibrosis in mice models of systemic sclerosis |pdf=|usr=}}{{28610597}} gab.com Text Anti-connective tissue growth factor (CTGF/CCN2) monoclonal antibody attenuates skin fibrosis in mice models of systemic sclerosis JO: Arthritis Res Ther http://www.kidney.de/pget.php?&tw=1&pmid=28610597 #FOAvip Background: Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is characterized by fibrosis of the skin and internal organs. Although the involvement of connective tissue growth factor (CTGF/CCN2) has been well-documented in SSc fibrosis, the therapeutic potential of targeting CTGF in SSc has not been fully investigated. Our aim was to examine the therapeutic potential of CTGF blockade in a preclinical model of SSc using two approaches: smooth muscle cell fibroblast-specific deletion of CTGF (CTGF knockout (KO)) or a human anti-CTGF monoclonal antibody, FG-3019. Methods: Angiotensin II (Ang II) was administered for 14 days by subcutaneous osmotic pump to CTGF KO or C57BL/6 J mice. FG-3019 was administered intraperitoneally three times per week for 2 weeks. Skin fibrosis was evaluated by histology and hydroxyproline assay. Immunohistochemistry staining was used for alpha smooth muscle actin (?SMA), platelet-derived growth factor receptor ? (PDGFR?), pSmad2, CD45, von Willebrand factor (vWF), and immunofluorescence staining was utilized for procollagen and Fsp1. Results: Ang II-induced skin fibrosis was mitigated in both CTGF KO and FG-3019-treated mice. The blockade of CTGF reduced the number of cells expressing PDGFR?, procollagen, ?SMA, pSmad2, CD45, and Fsp1 in the dermis. In addition, inhibition of CTGF attenuated vascular injury as measured by the presence of vWF-positive cells. Conclusions: Our data indicate that inhibition of CTGF signaling presents an attractive therapeutic approach in SSc.
