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: The working group proposes the following working definition of atrial cardiomyopathy: ‘Any complex of structural, architectural, contractile or electrophysiological changes affecting the atria with the potential to produce clinically-relevant manifestations’ (Table 1).

Growth factor modulation of mitogenic responses and proteoglycan synthesis by human periodontal fibroblasts
TL;DR: Variable responses of fibroblasts to growth factors depending upon anatomical site within the periodontium are suggested, and there appears to be a correlation between cell proliferation and the types of proteoglycan synthesised with decorin expression being suppressed, and versican being increased during fibroblast proliferation.

TL;DR: The comparison among the canine tachypacing, mouse transgenic, and human HF reveals that human disease involves downregulation of genes in a broad range of biological processes while experimentally induced HF is associated with down regulation of energy pathways, and that human ischemic HF and canine HF share a similar over representation of transcriptional pathways in the up regulated genes.

TL;DR: The ontogeny of pericytes and alveolar SMCs suggests a common theme in the formation ofPDGF-dependent SMCs, in which PDGF-receptor positive SMC progenitors spread from proximal to distal sites along PDGF -expressing epithelial, or endothelial, tubes.
