Abstract:
BACKGROUND:In various heart disease paradigms, atria show stronger fibrotic responses than ventricles. The possibility that atrial and ventricular fibroblasts respond differentially to pathological stimuli has not been examined. METHODS AND RESULTS:We compared various morphological, secretory, and proliferative response indexes of canine atrial versus ventricular fibroblasts. Cultured atrial fibroblasts showed faster cell surface area increases, distinct morphology at confluence, and greater alpha-smooth muscle actin expression than ventricular fibroblasts. Atrial fibroblast proliferation ([(3)H]thymidine incorporation) responses were consistently greater for a range of growth factors, including fetal bovine serum, platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), basic fibroblast growth factor, angiotensin II, endothelin-1, and transforming growth factor-beta(1). Normal atrial tissue showed larger myofibroblast density compared with ventricular tissue, and the difference was exaggerated by congestive heart failure. Congestive heart failure atria showed larger fractions of fibroblasts in mitotic phases compared with ventricles and displayed enhanced gene expression of fibroblast-selective markers (collagen-1, collagen-3, fibronectin-1). Gene microarrays revealed 225 differentially expressed transcript probe sets between paired atrial and ventricular fibroblast samples, including extracellular matrix (eg, fibronectin, laminin, fibulin), cell signaling (PDGF, PDGF receptor, angiopoietin, vascular endothelial growth factor), structure (keratin), and metabolism (xanthine dehydrogenase) genes, identifying PDGF as a candidate contributor to atrial-ventricular fibroblast differences. PDGF receptor gene expression was greater in normal atrium compared with ventricle, and congestive heart failure differentially enhanced atrial versus ventricular PDGF and PDGF receptor gene expression. PDGF receptor protein expression and alpha-smooth muscle actin protein expression were enhanced in isolated congestive heart failure fibroblasts. The PDGF receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor AG1295 eliminated fetal bovine serum- and transforming growth factor-beta(1)-stimulated atrial-ventricular fibroblast proliferative response differences. CONCLUSIONS:Atrial fibroblasts behave differently than ventricular fibroblasts over a range of in vitro and in vivo paradigms, with atrial fibroblasts showing enhanced reactivity that may explain greater atrial fibrotic responses. PDGF signaling is particularly important for atrium-selective fibroblast responses and may represent a novel target for arrhythmogenic atrial structural remodeling prevention.
