Abstract

We investigated the mechanism whereby cell contact injury stimulates the alpha-smooth muscle actin (SMA) promoter, a key process for epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) during organ fibrosis. Contact disruption by low-Ca(2+) medium (LCM) activated Rac, PAK and p38 MAPK, and triggered the nuclear accumulation of myocardin-related transcription factor (MRTF), an inducer of the SMA promoter. Dominant negative (DN) Rac, DN-PAK, DN-p38, or the p38 inhibitor SB203580 suppressed the LCM-induced nuclear accumulation of MRTF and the activation of the SMA promoter. These studies define novel pathway(s) involving Rac, PAK, and p38 in the regulation of MRTF and the contact-dependent induction of EMT.

摘要

我们研究了细胞接触损伤刺激α-平滑肌肌动蛋白(SMA)启动子的机制,这是器官纤维化过程中上皮-间质转化(EMT)的关键过程。低钙(2+)培养基(LCM)导致的接触中断激活了Rac、PAK和p38丝裂原活化蛋白激酶(MAPK),并触发了心肌素相关转录因子(MRTF)的核内积聚,MRTF是SMA启动子的诱导剂。显性负性(DN)Rac、DN-PAK、DN-p38或p38抑制剂SB203580抑制了LCM诱导的MRTF核内积聚和SMA启动子的激活。这些研究确定了涉及Rac、PAK和p38的新途径,这些途径参与了MRTF的调节以及EMT的接触依赖性诱导。
