• W2765881497 abstract "Key points Transforming growth‐factor‐β (TGF‐β) and RhoA/Rho‐kinase are independently implicated in the airway hyper‐responsiveness associated with asthma, but how these proteins interact is not fully understood. We examined the effects of pre‐treatment with TGF‐β on expression and activity of RhoA, Rho‐kinase and ARHGEF1, an activator of RhoA, as well as on bradykinin‐induced contraction, in airway smooth muscle. TGF‐β enhanced bradykinin‐induced RhoA translocation, Rho‐kinase‐dependent phosphorylation and contraction, but partially suppressed bradykinin‐induced RhoA activity (RhoA‐GTP content). TGF‐β enhanced the expression of ARHGEF1, while a small interfering RNA against ARHGEF1 and a RhoGEF inhibitor prevented the effects of TGF‐β on RhoA and Rho‐kinase activity and contraction, respectively. ARHGEF1 expression was also enhanced in airway smooth muscle from asthmatic patients and ovalbumin‐sensitized mice. ARHGEF1 is a key TGF‐β target gene, an important regulator of Rho‐kinase activity and therefore a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of asthmatic airway hyper‐responsiveness. Abstract Transforming growth factor‐β (TGF‐β), RhoA/Rho‐kinase and Src‐family kinases (SrcFK) have independently been implicated in airway hyper‐responsiveness, but how they interact to regulate airway smooth muscle contractility is not fully understood. We found that TGF‐β pre‐treatment enhanced acute contractile responses to bradykinin (BK) in isolated rat bronchioles, and inhibitors of RhoGEFs (Y16) and Rho‐kinase (Y27632), but not the SrcFK inhibitor PP2, prevented this enhancement. In cultured human airway smooth muscle cells (hASMCs), TGF‐β pre‐treatment enhanced the protein expression of the Rho guanine nucleotide exchange factor ARHGEF1, MLC 20 , MYPT‐1 and the actin‐severing protein cofilin, but not of RhoA, ROCK2 or c‐Src. In hASMCs, acute treatment with BK triggered subcellular translocation of ARHGEF1 and RhoA and enhanced auto‐phosphorylation of SrcFK and phosphorylation of MYPT1 and MLC 20 , but induced de‐phosphorylation of cofilin. TGF‐β pre‐treatment amplified the effects of BK on RhoA translocation and MYPT1/MLC 20 phosphorylation, but suppressed the effects of BK on RhoA‐GTP content, SrcFK auto‐phosphorylation and cofilin de‐phosphorylation. In hASMCs, an ARHGEF1 small interfering RNA suppressed the effects of BK and TGF‐β on RhoA‐GTP content, RhoA translocation and MYPT1 and MLC 20 phosphorylation, but minimally influenced the effects of TGF‐β on cofilin expression and phosphorylation. ARHGEF1 expression was also enhanced in ASMCs of asthmatic patients and in lungs of ovalbumin‐sensitized mice. Our data indicate that TGF‐β enhances BK‐induced contraction, RhoA translocation and Rho‐kinase activity in airway smooth muscle largely via ARHGEF1, but independently of SrcFK and total RhoA‐GTP content. A role for smooth muscle ARHGEF1 in asthmatic airway hyper‐responsiveness is worthy of further investigation." @default.
