PKC Mediates CCL18-Stimulated Collagen Production in Pulmonary Fibroblasts
A CC chemokine, CCL18, has been previously reported to stimulate collagen production in pulmonary fibroblasts. This study focused on the role of protein kinase C (PKC) in the profibrotic signaling activated by CCL18 in pulmonary fibroblasts. Of the three PKC isoforms that are predominantly expressed in fibroblasts (PKC , PKC , and PKC ), two isoforms (PKC and PKC ) have been implicated in profi...

متن کاملGlutathione regulates transforming growth factor-beta-stimulated collagen production in fibroblasts.
Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) is a potent fibrogenic cytokine. The molecular mechanism underlying TGF-beta fibrogenesis, however, has not been completely elucidated. In this study, we showed that TGF beta decreased the intracellular GSH content in murine embryo fibroblasts (NIH 3T3), which was followed by an increase in collagen I mRNA content and collagen protein production. Preve...
متن کاملA vicious circle of alveolar macrophages and fibroblasts perpetuates pulmonary fibrosis via CCL18.
RATIONALE Recently, models of macrophage activation have been revised. Macrophages stimulated with Th2 cytokines have been classified as alternatively activated. OBJECTIVES This article examines the expression and regulation of CC chemokine ligand 18 (CCL18), a marker of alternative activation, by human alveolar macrophages (AMs). METHODS AM were obtained from bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) f...
متن کاملMCPIP1 mediates silica-induced cell migration in human pulmonary fibroblasts.
Silicosis is a systemic disease caused by inhaling silicon dioxide (SiO2). Phagocytosis of SiO2 in the lungs initiates an inflammatory cascade that results in fibroblast proliferation and migration followed by fibrosis. According to previous data from our laboratory, monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1) plays a critical role in fibroblast proliferation and migration in conventional two-dimens...
