Actomyosin and the MRTF-SRF pathway downregulate FGFR1 in mesenchymal stromal cells

Abstract: Both biological and mechanical signals are known to influence cell proliferation. However, biological signals are mostly studied in two-dimensions (2D) and the interplay between these different pathways is largely unstudied. Here, we investigated the influence of the cell culture environment on the response to bFGF, a widely studied and important proliferation growth factor. We observed that human mesenchymal stromal cells (hMSCs), but not fibroblasts, lose the ability to respond to soluble or covalently bound… Show more

“…Fibroblasts maintain high SRF and FGFR1 expression and remain responsive to bFGF. (18) Fibroblasts produce endogenous bFGF which acts via autocrine mechanisms on FGFR1. Cultures using FBS contain exogenous and endogenous bFGF, as well as other growth factors, such as endothelial cell growth factor (ECGF), epidermal growth factor (EGF), fibroblast growth factor (FGF), insulin-like growth factor (IGF), nerve growth factor (NGF), plateletderived growth factor (PDGF), and transforming growth factor (TGF).…”

“…For transcription factors, 𝑥 𝑖 refers to a transcriptionally eligible concentration, which includes the steady-state level of nuclear localization. Examples of transcription factors with wellknown stiff-correlated nuclear localization include YAP (35,36), MKL-1 (20,37), and RUNX2 (38,39); nuclear localization is necessary for transcription factor activity due to the possibility of co-activation requirements. We also include epigenetically modifying enzymes such as HDAC and HAT as elements of 𝑥 ⃗, which influence chromatin organization and demonstrate mechanosensitive activity patterns (8).…”

“…[33,34] In comparison, the use of polymer materials or hydrogels to release growth factors is often prone to loss of activity and dif ficulty for controlledrelease merely relying on hydrolysis. [35,36] As such, an ECM is considered to be a natural 3D mate rial that regulates the binding and release of growth factors, which can be leveraged to provide optimized biochemical cues during tissue morphogenesis. [37,38] Although bone morphoge netic protein2 (BMP2) has been used in clinic for over three decades, unfortunately its therapeutic index (the ratio of the maximal nontoxic system concentration to the minimal does elicit a positive therapeutic response) remains very low due to a number of factors such as poor solubility, short biological half life, unsatisfactory delivery materials, etc.…”
