Regulation of Transforming Growth Factor-β-dependent Cyclooxygenase-2 Expression in Fibroblasts

Open access

Abstract

Abnormal transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) signaling is a critical contributor to the pathogenesis of various human diseases ranging from tissue fibrosis to tumor formation. Excessive TGF-β signaling stimulates fibrotic responses. Recent research has focused in the main on the antiproliferative effects of TGF-β in fibroblasts, and it is presently understood that TGF-β-stimulated cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) induction in fibroblasts is essential for antifibroproliferative effects of TGF-β. Both TGF-β and COX-2 have been implicated in tumor growth, invasion, and metastasis, and therefore tumor-associated fibroblasts are a recent topic of interest. Here we report the identification of positive and negative regulatory factors of COX-2 expression induced by TGF-β as determined using proteomic approaches. We show that TGF-β coordinately up-regulates three factors, heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein A/B (HNRPAB), nucleotide diphosphate kinase A (NDPK A), and nucleotide diphosphate kinase A (NDPK B). Functional pathway analysis showed that HNRPAB augments mRNA and protein levels of COX-2 and subsequent prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) production by suppressing degradation of COX-2 mRNA. In contrast, NDPK A and NDPK B attenuated mRNA and protein levels of COX-2 by affecting TGF-β-Smad2/3/4 signaling at the receptor level. Collectively, we report on a new regulatory pathway of TGF-β in controlling expression of COX-2 in fibroblasts, which advances our understanding of pathophysiological mechanisms of TGF-β.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
