Cytoskeletal Rearrangement and Signal Transduction in TGF-β1–Stimulated Mesangial Cell Collagen Accumulation

Abstract: Abstract. TGF-␤1 has been implicated in glomerular extracellular matrix accumulation, although the precise cellular mechanism(s) by which this occurs is not fully understood. The authors have previously shown that the Smad signaling pathway is present and functional in human glomerular mesangial cells and plays a role in activating type I collagen gene expression. It also was determined that TGF-␤1 activates ERK mitogen-activated protein kinase in mesangial cells to enhance Smad activation and collagen express… Show more

“…Our observations are supported by a large body of evidence showing direct effects of IGFBP-3 on apoptosis in other epithelial cells (28,29), endothelial cells (30), and, recently, in mesangial cells (31). Stress fiber bundling and the formation of ARC in podocytes have been reported after shear stress (32) and after TGF-␤1 treatment in mesangial cells (33). Our data document that IGFBP-3 has independent effects on apoptosis and actin cytoskeletal rearrangements and that it potentiates the TGF-␤ effects.…”

“…Interactions with actin influence the behavior and localization of many ion channels (Cantiello, 1995;Furukawa et al, 1996;Levin et al, 1996;Mazzanti et al, 1996;Jing et al, 1997;Nakahira et al, 1998;Shimoni et al, 1999;Shimoni and Rattner, 2001) It is interesting that of the two agents used in this study to disrupt actin filaments, cytochalasin B and latrunculin B, only the latter was capable of inhibiting the increase in calcium current in response to activation of PKC. Differences in the cellular effects of these two agents have been reported previously (Morales et al, 2000;Bricker et al, 2003;Hubchak et al, 2003;Zeidan et al, 2003) and likely reflect the different mode of action of the two agents. Cytochalasins selectively disrupt actin filaments by preventing filament elongation (Morton et al, 2000), whereas latrunculin B sequesters actin monomers (Brozinick et al, 2004), preventing the formation of newly polymerized actin.…”

“…Cells that were grown on 24-well plates with either 6.5 or 20 mM glucose media for 72 h were analyzed for TGF-␤ binding as described previously (35). Briefly, after removal of endogenous TGF-␤ with glycine/NaCl buffer (20 mM glycine, 135 mM NaCl [pH 3.0]), cells were incubated with 125 I-labeled TGF-␤1 (final concentration, 1 to 40 pM in binding buffer; 0.2% BSA, 128 mM NaCl, 5 mM KCl, 5 mM MgSO 4 , 1.2 mM CaCl 2 , 50 mM HEPES [pH 7.4]) for 2 h at 22°C.…”
