(Submitter supplied) Objectives: Scleroderma (systemic sclerosis, SSc), as a prototypic inflammation-driven fibrotic disease, possesses connective tissue lesions populated with persistently activated myofibroblasts maintained by an mechanotranductive/pro-adhesive signaling loop. Drugs targeting this pathway are therefore of likely therapeutic benefit. The mechanosensitive transcriptional co-activator, yes activated protein-1 (YAP1), is activated in SSc fibroblasts. more...

(Submitter supplied) Objectives: Eph/Ephrin cell-cell signaling is emerging as a key player in tissue fibrogenesis. The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that the receptor tyrosine kinase EphB2 mediates dermal fibrosis in systemic sclerosis (SSc). Methods: We assessed normal and SSc human skin biopsies for EphB2 expression. The in vivo role of EphB2 in skin fibrosis was investigated by subjecting EphB2-knockout mice to both bleomycin-induced and tight skin (Tsk1/+) genetic mouse models. more...

(Submitter supplied) In this study, we analyzed the gene expression profiles of the lung in mouse bleomycin (BLM)-induced systemic sclerosis (SSc) model treated with MT-7117. Gene array analysis using the BLM-induced SSc model demonstrated changes in numerous categories related to macrophages, monocytes, and neutrophils, followed by endothelial cell-related categories after treatment with MT-7117 (Dersimelagon). In the analysis that focused on biological functions, categories of inflammatory response, activation of antigen-presenting cells, angiogenesis, atherosclerosis, vasculogenesis, and vaso-occlusion were suppressed by MT-7117. more...

(Submitter supplied) Fibrotic diseases impose a major socioeconomic challenge on modern societies with limited treatment options. Adropin, a peptide hormone encoded by the energy-homeostasis-associated (ENHO) gene, is implicated in metabolism and vascular homeostasis, but its role in the pathogenesis of fibrosis remains enigmatic. Here, we used machine learning approaches in combination with functional in vitro and in vivo experiments to characterize Adropin/ENHO as a potential regulator involved in fibroblast activation and tissue fibrosis in systemic sclerosis (SSc). more...

(Submitter supplied) In addition to autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, variants of the TNFAIP3 gene encoding A20 are also associated with systemic sclerosis (SSc). However, it remains unclear how genetic factors contribute to fibrosis in SSc, and which cell types drive disease due to SSc-specific genetic alterations. We characterized the expression and function of A20, and its negative transcriptional regulator DREAM, in patient with SSc. more...

(Submitter supplied) Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a devastating autoimmune disease characterized by excessive production and accumulation of extracellular matrix, leading to fibrosis of skin and other internal organs. However, the main cellular participants in SSc skin fibrosis remain incompletely understood. Here using differentiation trajectories at a single cell level, we demonstrate a dual source of extracellular matrix deposition in SSc skin from both myofibroblasts and endothelial-to-mesenchymal-transitioning cells (EndoMT). more...

(Submitter supplied) Background: The IL-1 receptor accessory protein (IL1RAP) is an essential co-receptor required for signaling through the IL-1, IL-33 and IL-36 receptors. Here, we investigate the antifibrotic potential of the combined inhibition of these cytokines by an anti-IL1RAP antibody to provide a scientific background for clinical development in systemic sclerosis (SSc). Methods: The expression of IL1RAP-associated signaling molecules was determined by data mining of publicly available RNAseq data as well as by imaging mass cytometry (IMC). more...

(Submitter supplied) Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a rare and devastating connective tissue disorder that results in fibrosis and vascular abnormalities that affect the skin and visceral organs, and SSc-associated pulmonary fibrosis (SSc-PF) is the leading cause of death amongst SSc patients. Racial disparity is noticeable in SSc as African Americans (AA) have a higher frequency and severity of diseases than European Americans (EA). more...

(Submitter supplied) Skin systemic sclerosis (Scleroderma, SSc) is an autoimmune disease while its epigenetic regulatory mechanism is not known. We surveyed the genome-wide active regulatory elements in fresh human skin cells, using Assay of Transposase Accessible Chromatin with sequencing (ATAC-seq) in longitudinal skin from healthy volunteers and affected and unaffected skin from patients with SSc. We created robust pipelines that enable accurate single molecule counting and allelic discrimination from clinical material in vivo without clonal expansion. more...
