During cardiac remodeling CF undergo a transition towards a myofibroblast phenotype thereby showing an increased proliferation and migration rate. Both processes involve the remodeling of the cytoskeleton. Since RhoA is known to be a major regulator of the cytoskeleton, we analyzed its role in CF and its effect on myofibroblast characteristics in 2 D and 3D models. Results Downregulation of RhoA was shown to strongly affect the actin cytoskeleton. It decreased the myofibroblast marker alpha-sm-actin, but increased certain fibrosis-associated factors like TGF-beta and collagens. Also, the detailed analysis of CTGF expression demonstrated that the outcome of RhoA signaling strongly depends on the involved stimulus. Furthermore, we show that proliferation of myofibroblasts rely on RhoA and tubulin acetylation. In assays accessing three different types of migration, we demonstrate that RhoA/ROCK/Dia1 are important for 2D migration and the repression of RhoA and Dia1 signaling accelerates 3D migration. Finally, we show that a downregulation of RhoA in CF impacts the viscoelastic and contractile properties of engineered tissues. Conclusion RhoA positively and negatively influences myofibroblast characteristics by differential signaling cascades and depending on environmental conditions. These include gene expression, migration and proliferation. Reduction of RhoA leads to an increased viscoelasticity and a decrease in contractile force in engineered cardiac tissue."],["dc.description.sponsorship","Open-Access Publikationsfonds 2015"],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1371/journal.pone.0137519"],["dc.identifier.gro","3141809"],["dc.identifier.isi","000362511000003"],["dc.identifier.pmid","26448568"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/12214"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/1312"],["dc.identifier.url","https://sfb1002.med.uni-goettingen.de/production/literature/publications/118"],["dc.notes.intern","WoS Import 2017-03-10"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.notes.submitter","PUB_WoS_Import"],["dc.relation","SFB 1002: Modulatorische Einheiten bei Herzinsuffizienz"],["dc.relation","SFB 1002 | C02: RhoGTPasen und ihre Bedeutung für die Last-abhängige Myokardfibrose"],["dc.relation","SFB 1002 | C04: Fibroblasten-Kardiomyozyten Interaktion im gesunden und erkrankten Herzen: Mechanismen und therapeutische Interventionen bei Kardiofibroblastopathien"],["dc.relation","SFB 1002 | C06: Mechanismen und Regulation der koronaren Gefäßneubildung"],["dc.relation.issn","1932-6203"],["dc.relation.workinggroup","RG Lutz (G Protein-Coupled Receptor Mediated Signaling)"],["dc.relation.workinggroup","RG Tiburcy (Stem Cell Disease Modeling)"],["dc.relation.workinggroup","RG Zimmermann (Engineered Human Myocardium)"],["dc.rights","CC BY 4.0"],["dc.rights.uri","https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0"],["dc.title","RhoA Ambivalently Controls Prominent Myofibroblast Characteritics by Involving Distinct Signaling Routes"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.subtype","original_ja"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

We hypothesized that the specific mediator of G(q/11)-dependent RhoA activation p63RhoGEF, which is expressed in cardiac fibroblasts, plays a role in the underlying processes. We could show that p63RhoGEF is up-regulated in mouse hearts subjected to transverse aortic constriction (TAC). In an engineered heart muscle model (EHM), p63RhoGEF expression in cardiac fibroblasts increased resting and twitch tensions, and the dominant negative p63 Delta N decreased both. In an engineered connective tissue model (ECT), p63RhoGEF increased tissue stiffness and its knockdown as well as p63 Delta N reduced stiffness. In 2D cultures of neonatal rat cardiac fibroblasts, p63RhoGEF regulated the angiotensin II (Ang II)-dependent RhoA activation, the activation of the serum response factor, and the expression and secretion of the connective tissue growth factor (CTGF). All these processes were inhibited by the knockdown of p63RhoGEF or by p63 Delta N likely based on their negative influence on the actin cytoskeleton. Moreover, we show that p63RhoGEF also regulates CTGF in engineered tissues and correlates with it in the TAC model. Finally, confocal studies revealed a closely related localization of p63RhoGEF and CTGF in the trans-Golgi network.

Optimized engineered connective tissues (ECTs) with biophysical properties adapted to the target tissue could be used as a substitution therapy. This study aimed to investigate the effect of ECT enforcement by a complex of multiwall carbon nanotubes with chitosan (C-MWCNT) to meet in vivo demands.\r\nMaterials and Methods: ECTs were constructed from human foreskin fibroblasts (HFF-1) in collagen type I and enriched with the three different percentages 0.025, 0.05 and 0.1% of C-MWCNT. Characterization of the physical properties was performed by biomechanical studies using unidirectional strain.\r\nResults: Supplementation with 0.025% C-MWCNT moderately increased the tissue stiffness, reflected by Young’s modulus, compared to tissues without C-MWCNT. Supplementation of ECTs with 0.1% C-MWCNT reduced tissue contraction and increased the elasticity and the extensibility, reflected by the yield point and ultimate strain, respectively. Consequently, the ECTs with 0.1% C-MWCNT showed a higher resilience and toughness as control tissues. Fluorescence tissue imaging demonstrated the longitudinal alignment of all cells independent of the condition.\r\nConclusion: Supplementation with C-MWCNT can enhance the biophysical properties of ECTs, which could be advantageous for applications in connective tissue repair."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.2147/IJN.S289107"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/83018"],["dc.identifier.url","https://sfb1002.med.uni-goettingen.de/production/literature/publications/387"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","DOI Import GROB-399"],["dc.relation","SFB 1002: Modulatorische Einheiten bei Herzinsuffizienz"],["dc.relation","SFB 1002 | C04: Fibroblasten-Kardiomyozyten Interaktion im gesunden und erkrankten Herzen: Mechanismen und therapeutische Interventionen bei Kardiofibroblastopathien"],["dc.relation","SFB 1002 | S01: In vivo und in vitro Krankheitsmodelle"],["dc.relation.eissn","1178-2013"],["dc.relation.workinggroup","RG Lutz (G Protein-Coupled Receptor Mediated Signaling)"],["dc.relation.workinggroup","RG Zimmermann (Engineered Human Myocardium)"],["dc.rights","CC BY-NC 3.0"],["dc.title","Modulating the Biomechanical Properties of Engineered Connective Tissues by Chitosan-Coated Multiwall Carbon Nanotubes"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.subtype","original_ja"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
