In this study, we have used next generation sequencing to delineate changes in transcriptome induced by TGF-β treatment of WI-38 airway fibroblasts in both short term and after differentiation into myofibroblasts. The data obtained from RNAseq anal. was confirmed by quant. PCR and protein expression by western blotting. We found that genes coding for intermediates in TGF-β signalling pathways (SMADs) were differentially expressed after TGF-β treatment, SMAD2 being upregulated and SMAD3 being downregulated. Genes involved in cytoskeletal pathways (FN1, LAMA, ITGB1) were upregulated in myofibroblasts. Genes that were previously shown to be changed in asthmatic lungs (ADAMTS1, DSP, TIMPs, MMPs) were similarly differentially expressed in myofibroblasts, strongly suggesting that TGF-β mediated differentiation of fibroblasts to myofibroblasts may underlie important changes in the asthmatic airway. We also identified new intermediates of signalling pathways (PKB, PTEN) that are changed in myofibroblasts compared to fibroblasts. We have found a significant number of genes that are altered after TGF-β induced transdifferentiation of WI-38 fibroblasts into myofibroblasts, many of which were expected or predicted. We also identified novel genes and pathways that were affected after TGF-β treatment, suggesting addnl. pathways are activated during the transition between fibroblasts and myofibroblasts and may contribute to the asthma phenotype.
