The Role of Twist1 in Chronic Pancreatitis–Associated Pancreatic Stellate Cells
In healthy pancreas, pancreatic stellate cells (PaSCs) synthesize the basement membrane, which is mainly composed of type IV collagen and laminin. In chronic pancreatitis (CP), PaSCs are responsible for the production of a rigid extracellular matrix (ECM) that is mainly composed of fibronectin and type I/III collagen. Reactive oxygen species evoke the formation of the rigid ECM by PaSCs. One source of reactive oxygen species is NADPH oxidase (Nox) enzymes. Nox1 up-regulates the expression of Twist1 and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) in PaSCs from mice with CP. This study determined the functional relationship between Twist1 and MMP-9, and other PaSC-produced proteins, and the extent to which Twist1 regulates digestion of ECM proteins in CP. Twist1 induced the expression of MMP-9 in mouse PaSCs. The action of Twist1 was not selective to MMP-9 because Twist1 induced the expression of types I and IV collagen, fibronectin, transforming growth factor, and α-smooth muscle actin. Luciferase assay indicated that Twist1 in human primary PaSCs increased the expression of MMP-9 at the transcriptional level in an NF-κB dependent manner. The digestion of type I/III collagen by MMP-9 secreted by PaSCs from mice with CP depended on Twist1. Thus, Twist1 in PaSCs from mice with CP induced rigid ECM production and MMP-9 transcription in an NF-κB–dependent mechanism that selectively displayed proteolytic activity toward type I/III collagen.
期刊介绍:
The American Journal of Pathology, official journal of the American Society for Investigative Pathology, published by Elsevier, Inc., seeks high-quality original research reports, reviews, and commentaries related to the molecular and cellular basis of disease. The editors will consider basic, translational, and clinical investigations that directly address mechanisms of pathogenesis or provide a foundation for future mechanistic inquiries. Examples of such foundational investigations include data mining, identification of biomarkers, molecular pathology, and discovery research. Foundational studies that incorporate deep learning and artificial intelligence are also welcome. High priority is given to studies of human disease and relevant experimental models using molecular, cellular, and organismal approaches.
