- W4321019780 abstract "The prevalence of fibrotic diseases and the lack of pharmacologic modalities to effectively treat them impart particular importance to the discovery of novel antifibrotic therapies. The repurposing of drugs with existing mechanisms of action and/or clinical data is a promising approach for the treatment of fibrotic diseases. One paradigm that pervades all fibrotic diseases is the pathological myofibroblast, a collagen-secreting, contractile mesenchymal cell that is responsible for the deposition of fibrotic tissue. In this study, we use a gene expression paradigm characteristic of activated myofibroblasts in combination with the Connectivity Map to select compounds that are predicted to reverse the pathological gene expression signature associated with the myofibroblast and thus contain the potential for use as antifibrotic compounds. We tested a small list of these compounds in a first-pass screen, applying them to fibroblasts, and identified the retinoic acid receptor agonist Ch55 as a potential hit. Further investigation exhibited and elucidated the antifibrotic effects of Ch55 in vitro as well as showing antiscarring activity upon intradermal application in a preclinical rabbit ear hypertrophic scar model. We hope that similar predictions to uncover antiscarring compounds may yield further preclinical and ultimately clinical success.

Targeting Myofibroblasts in Dermal Fibrosis: A Retinoid ConnectionJournal of Investigative DermatologyPreviewTissue fibrosis is a pathological condition associated with several chronic inflammatory and autoimmune diseases (Györfi et al., 2018). Hypertrophic scars and keloids develop as a result of aberrant wound healing, induced for example by chronic inflammation and resulting in increased production of extracellular matrix (ECM) by fibroblasts (Kidzeru et al., 2022). Dermal fibrosis may cause cosmetic disfigurement and other complications, such as pain, contracture, and itching (Lee and Jang, 2018). At present, few treatment strategies are available that specifically target the pathogenesis of fibrosis (Györfi et al., 2018). Full-Text PDF" @default.
