INTRODUCTION: Transforming growth factor-? (TGF-?) and connective tissue growth
factor (CTGF) are often described as the initial pro-fibrotic mediators
upregulated early in fibrosis models dependent on angiotensin II (Ang-II). In the
present study, we explore the mechanistic link between TGF-? and CTGF expression
by using a novel TGF-? trap. MATERIALS AND METHODS: NIH/3T3 fibroblasts were
subjected to TGF-? with or without TGF-? trap or 1D11 antibody, CTGF or CTGF plus
TGF-? for six or 24 hours, and then used for quantitative real-time polymerase
chain reaction (qRT-PCR) or immunocytochemistry. Male C57BL/6 mice were infused
with Ang-II and randomly assigned TGF-? trap for six or 24 hours. Hearts were
harvested for histological analyses, qRT-PCR and western blotting. RESULTS:
Exogenous TGF-?-induced fibroblasts resulted in significant upregulation of CTGF,
TGF-? and type I collagen transcript levels in vitro. Additionally, TGF-?
promoted the differentiation of fibroblasts into ?-SMA(+) myofibroblasts. CTGF
expression was reduced by the addition of TGF-? trap or neutralizing antibody,
confirming that its expression is dependent on TGF-? signaling. In contrast,
exogenous CTGF did not appear to have an effect on fibroblast production of
pro-fibrotic transcripts or fibroblast differentiation. Ang-II infusion in vivo
led to a significant increase in TGF-? and CTGF mRNA expression at six and 24
hours with corresponding changes in Smad2 phosphorylation (pSmad2), indicative of
increased TGF-? signaling. Ang-II animals that received the TGF-? trap
demonstrated reduced CTGF mRNA levels and pSmad2 at six hours, suggesting that
early CTGF expression is dependent on TGF-? signaling. CONCLUSIONS: We
demonstrated that CTGF expression is dependent on TGF-? signaling both in vitro
and in vivo in a model of myocardial fibrosis. This also suggests that early
myocardial CTGF mRNA expression (six hours) after Ang-II exposure is likely
dependent on latent TGF-? activation via the canonical Smad-dependent pathway in
resident cardiac cells.
