Cytoskeleton regulates expression of genes for transforming growth factor-beta 1 and extracellular matrix proteins in dermal fibroblasts.

Abstract：

:Cytoskeleton not only controls cell morphology but also regulates cell growth, migration, differentiation, and gene expression, events which are fundamental to embryogenesis, carcinogenesis, and wound healing. We have recently reported that reorganization of cytoskeleton induces expression of mRNA for transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-beta 1), collagenase, and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-I (TIMP-I) in dermal fibroblasts. In this report we have examined the role of gene transcription in this induction. As judged by nuclear run-on assay, trypsin, EGTA (ethylene glycol-bis (beta-aminoethyl ether) N, N, N', N', tetra-acetic acid), or cytochalasin C (Chs) increased the rate of transcription of the TGF-beta 1 gene by 2.0, 2.7, and 1.6 fold, respectively, and of the collagenase gene by 5.3, 6.2, and 3.3 fold. The rate of transcription of the TIMP-I gene was increased by trypsin (4.3 fold) or EGTA (3.8 fold) but unaffected by Chs. Cytochalasin induced an increase in the rate of transcription of procollagen I (alpha 1), procollagen I (alpha 2), and fibronectin genes by 1.4, 1.5, and 1.9 fold respectively, while trypsinization or EGTA treatment had no or little effects on these gene. Since transcription of the TGF-beta 1 gene is believed to be largely governed by the activating protein 1 (AP1) complex, we also examined the expression of mRNA for c-fos and c-jun protoon-coproteins. Trypsinization induced rapid (within 30 min) and transient expression of c-fos mRNA. A 2.4 fold increase in c-jun mRNA was apparent after 4 hr and persisted for at least 24 hr. Actinomycin D (Act D) suppressed the induction of TGF-beta 1 mRNA by Chs but had less effect on the TGF-beta 1 mRNA in trypsinized cells which had been replated for 4 hr, suggesting that the half life of TGF-beta 1 mRNA is reduced in cells with a disassembled cytoskeleton. Simultaneous treatment with Chs and cycloheximide (Cxm) resulted in a superinduction of TGF-beta 1 mRNA by 88 +/- 23% (n = 4, P < 0.05), which was abrogated by preexposure to Act D. In contrast, the induction of collagenase mRNA by Chs was totally blocked by Cxm, indicating that the Cxm-mediated superinduction is selective and that protein synthesis is required for induction of this mRNA. Our results suggest that the activities of genes for proteins involved in the structure (Type I collagen and fibronectin), turnover (collagenase and TIMP-1) and regulation (TGF-beta 1) of extracellular matrix (ECM), are all governed at least in part by the status of the cytoskeleton. Since the cytoskeleton is reorganized during cell division, migration, and differentiation, these results may have implications for the regulation of ECM during such processes as embryogenesis, carcinogenesis, and wound healing.
