| description | Abstract Background Chorioamnionitis is a common cause of preterm birth and leads to serious complications in newborns. The objective of this study was to investigate the role of the Hippo signaling pathway in lung branching morphogenesis under a lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation model. Materials and methods IMR-90 cells and ex vivo fetal lungs were treated with 0, 10, 30, or 50 μg/ml LPS for 24 and 72 h. Supernatant levels of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8, Chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 1(CXCL1), branching and the surface area ratio, Yes-associated protein (YAP), transcription coactivator with PDZ-binding motif (TAZ), fibroblast growth factor 10 (FGF10), fibroblast growth factor receptor II (FGFR2), SRY-box transcription factor 2 (SOX2), SOX9, and sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) levels were examined. Differentially expressed genes in fetal lungs after LPS treatment were identified by RNA-sequencing. Results LPS at 50 μg/ml increased IL-6 and IL-8 in IMR-90 cells and increased IL-6, CXCL1 and LDH in fetal lungs. The branching ratio significantly increased by LPS at 30 μg/ml compared to the control but the increased level had decreased by 50 μg/ml LPS exposure. Exposure to 50 μg/ml LPS increased phosphorylated (p)-YAP, p-YAP/YAP, and p-TAZ/TAZ in IMR-90 cells, whereas 50 μg/ml LPS decreased FGF10 and SOX2. Consistently, p-YAP/YAP and p-TAZ/TAZ were increased in fibronectin+ cells of fetal lungs. Moreover, results of RNA-sequencing in fetal lungs showed that SMAD, FGF, IκB phosphorylation, tissue remodeling and homeostasis was involved in branching morphogenesis following exposure to 50 μg/ml LPS. The p-SIRT1/SIRT1 ratio increased in IMR-90 cells by LPS treatment. Conclusions This study showed that regulation of the Hippo pathway in fibroblasts of fetal lungs was involved in branching morphogenesis under an inflammatory disease such as chorioamnionitis. |
