Caveolin-1-Derived Peptide Reduces ER Stress and Enhances Gelatinolytic Activity in IPF Fibroblasts

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a fatal disease characterized by an excess deposition of extracellular matrix in the pulmonary interstitium. Caveolin-1 scaffolding domain peptide (CSP) has been found to mitigate pulmonary fibrosis in several animal models. However, its pathophysiological role...

description Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a fatal disease characterized by an excess deposition of extracellular matrix in the pulmonary interstitium. Caveolin-1 scaffolding domain peptide (CSP) has been found to mitigate pulmonary fibrosis in several animal models. However, its pathophysiological role in IPF is obscure, and it remains critical to understand the mechanism by which CSP protects against pulmonary fibrosis. We first studied the delivery of CSP into cells and found that it is internalized and accumulated in the Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER). Furthermore, CSP reduced ER stress via suppression of inositol requiring enzyme1α (IRE1α) in transforming growth factor β (TGFβ)-treated human IPF lung fibroblasts (hIPF-Lfs). Moreover, we found that CSP enhanced the gelatinolytic activity of TGFβ-treated hIPF-Lfs. The IRE1α inhibitor; 4µ8C also augmented the gelatinolytic activity of TGFβ-treated hIPF-Lfs, supporting the concept that CSP induced inhibition of the IRE1α pathway. Furthermore, CSP significantly elevated expression of MMPs in TGFβ-treated hIPF-Lfs, but conversely decreased the secretion of collagen 1. Similar results were observed in two preclinical murine models of PF, bleomycin (BLM)- and adenovirus expressing constitutively active TGFβ (Ad-TGFβ)-induced PF. Our findings provide new insights into the mechanism by which lung fibroblasts contribute to CSP dependent protection against lung fibrosis.
