TLDR
Atrial fibroblasts behave differently than ventricular fibro Blasts over a range of in vitro and in vivo paradigms, with atrial Fibroblast showing enhanced reactivity that may explain greater atrial fibrotic responses.Abstract:
Background— In various heart disease paradigms, atria show stronger fibrotic responses than ventricles. The possibility that atrial and ventricular fibroblasts respond differentially to pathological stimuli has not been examined. Methods and Results— We compared various morphological, secretory, and proliferative response indexes of canine atrial versus ventricular fibroblasts. Cultured atrial fibroblasts showed faster cell surface area increases, distinct morphology at confluence, and greater α-smooth muscle actin expression than ventricular fibroblasts. Atrial fibroblast proliferation ([3H]thymidine incorporation) responses were consistently greater for a range of growth factors, including fetal bovine serum, platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), basic fibroblast growth factor, angiotensin II, endothelin-1, and transforming growth factor-β1. Normal atrial tissue showed larger myofibroblast density compared with ventricular tissue, and the difference was exaggerated by congestive heart failure. Congesti...read more

TL;DR: JAK-STAT inhibition reduces the profibrotic effects of PDGF stimulation on canine fibroblasts in vitro while attenuating in vivo LA-fibrosis and remodelling in post-MI mice, suggesting that the JAK/STAT pathway contributes to LA- fibrogenesis and might be a potential target for LA-Fibrosis prevention.

TL;DR: This review identifies the fibroblast as a potential therapeutic target for reducing adverse cardiac remodelling and its devastating consequences and sets it in the context of post-MI cardiac remodelled.

TL;DR: It is shown that calcitonin, a hormone product of the thyroid gland involved in bone metabolism, is also produced by atrial cardiomyocytes in substantial quantities and acts as a paracrine signal that affects neighbouring collagen-producing fibroblasts to control their proliferation and secretion of extracellular matrix proteins.

TL;DR: Whether chronic obstructive sleep apnea induces an atrial pro-arrhythmogenic substrate and whether mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) are able to prevent it in a rat model of OSA is investigated, suggesting that these stem cells could counterbalance inflammation in OSA.

Hepatocyte growth factor regulates the TGF-β1-induced proliferation, differentiation and secretory function of cardiac fibroblasts
TL;DR: Results indicate that HGF activates the c-Met-Akt-TGIF signaling pathway, inhibiting CF proliferation and transformation in response to TGF-β1 stimulation.

TL;DR: It is shown that cardiac fibrosis is associated with the emergence of fibroblasts originating from endothelial cells, suggesting an endothelial-mesenchymal transition (EndMT) similar to events that occur during formation of the atrioventricular cushion in the embryonic heart.

TL;DR: Experimental CHF strongly promotes the induction of sustained AF by causing interstitial fibrosis that interferes with local conduction, with important potential implications for understanding, treating, and preventing AF related to CHF.

TL;DR: Cultured fetal and adult human fibroblasts maintained key features of HOX gene expression patterns established during embryogenesis, suggesting that HOX genes may direct topographic differentiation and underlie the detailed positional memory in fibro Blasts.

TL;DR: The two PDGF null phenotypes reveal analogous morphogenetic functions for myofibroblast-type cells in lung and kidney organogenesis, and show that PDGF-B is required in the ontogeny of kidney mesangial cells.

TGF-β induces bimodal proliferation of connective tissue cells via complex control of an autocrine PDGF loop
TL;DR: TGF-beta induces proliferation of connective tissue cells at low concentrations by stimulating autocrine PDGF-AA secretion, which at higher concentrations of TGF- beta, is decreased by down-regulation of PDGF receptor alpha subunits and perhaps by direct growth inhibition.
