Immunomodulatory Role of the Extracellular Matrix Within the Liver Disease Microenvironment
Open accessAbstract
Chronic liver disease when accompanied by underlying fibrosis, is characterised by an accumulation of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins and chronic inflammation. Although traditionally considered as a passive and largely architectural structure, the ECM is now being recognised as a source of potent DAMPs with immune-active peptides and domains. In parallel, the ECM anchors a range of cytokines, chemokines and growth factors, all of which are capable of modulating the immune responses. A growing body of evidence shows that ECM proteins themselves are capable of interacting both directly, via a wide range of receptors including integrins and TLRs, and indirectly with immune cells. ECM deposition and remodelling during fibrosis can result in release or formation of ECM-DAMPs, which can drive immune cellular infiltration and sterile inflammation. Both the ECM and immune response are interlinked and integral in driving fibrosis, although their precise interactions in the context of chronic liver disease are poorly understood. This review aims to shed light on the ECM-immune interactions underlying liver disease, in particular fibrosis of different aetiologies, by describing the main ECM intact proteins and ECM-DAMPs with known immune regulatory activity. We also discuss how tissue engineering could provide new opportunities to explore ECM-immune cell interactions in bioreactor-based dynamic 3D models containing intact decellularized ECM scaffolds. A better understanding of these interactions would aid in the identification of new antifibrotic and immunomodulatory targets for treatment and biomarkers in liver disease.

In the citing paper
“In contrast to HMWHAs, low molecular weight hyaluronic acids (LMWHAs) are released during ECM damage or degradation, which act as DAMPs and drive inflammatory responses such as enhancing immune cells chemotaxis, DCs maturation, and M1 polarization of macrophages via the same receptors (CD44 and TLRs) [63, 100].”

“In another example, high molecular weight hyaluronic acids (HMWHAs), well-known GAGs of dECM, exert anti-inflammatory effects by impeding antigen-antibody interaction and triggering toll-like receptors (TLRs), a subgroup of PRRs, and CD44 receptors of innate and adaptive immune cells.”

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.
