The IL-4 receptor α has a critical role in bone marrow-derived fibroblast activation and renal fibrosis.

Abstract:

:Renal fibrosis is a common pathway leading to the progression of chronic kidney disease, and bone marrow-derived fibroblasts contribute significantly to the development of renal fibrosis. However, the signaling mechanisms underlying the activation of these fibroblasts are not completely understood. Here, we examined the role of IL-4 receptor α (IL-4Rα) in the activation of myeloid fibroblasts in two experimental models of renal fibrosis. Compared with wild-type mice, IL-4Rα knockout mice accumulated fewer bone marrow-derived fibroblasts and myofibroblasts in their kidneys. IL-4Rα deficiency suppressed the expression of α-smooth muscle actin, extracellular matrix proteins and the development of renal fibrosis. Furthermore, IL-4Rα deficiency inhibited the activation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 6 (STAT6) in the kidney. Moreover, wild-type mice engrafted with bone marrow cells from IL-4Rα knockout mice exhibited fewer myeloid fibroblasts in the kidney and displayed less severe renal fibrosis following ureteral obstructive injury compared with wild-type mice engrafted with wild-type bone marrow cells. In vitro, IL-4 activated STAT6 and stimulated expression of α-smooth muscle actin and fibronectin in mouse bone marrow monocytes. This was abolished in the absence of IL-4Rα. Thus, IL-4Rα plays an important role in bone marrow-derived fibroblast activation, resulting in extracellular matrix protein production and fibrosis development. Hence, the IL-4Rα/STAT6 signaling pathway may serve as a novel therapeutic target for chronic kidney disease.
