| Abstract | The transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1)-induced myofibroblastic differentiation in tendon fibroblasts was thought to be one of the most important features of scar fibrosis formation, which is associated with occurrence of re-rupture. Previously, we reported that hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) inhibited TGF-β1-induced myofibroblast differentiation and extracellular matrix deposition in the Achilles tendon of rats. Here, we investigated the potential molecular mechanisms underlying the inhibitory effect of HGF on TGF-β1-induced myofibroblast differentiation. We found that treatment with HGF (10, 20, and 40 ng/ml) increased phosphorylation of adenosine monophosphate kinase (AMPK) and acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) in tendon fibroblasts. Pharmacological inhibition of the AMPK signaling pathway using compound C, a specific blocker of AMPK signaling, remarkably attenuated the inhibitory effect of HGF on TGF-β1-induced myofibroblastic differentiation in tendon fibroblasts. Moreover, small interfering RNA (siRNA)-mediated knockdown of AMPKα1 subunit decreased the inhibitory effect of HGF on TGF-β1-induced myofibroblastic differentiation in tendon fibroblasts. Finally, overexpression of constitutively active AMPKα1, which led to constitutive activation of the AMPK signaling pathway in tendon fibroblasts, mimicked the inhibitory effect of HGF on the TGF-β1-induced myofibroblastic differentiation. Our study therefore suggests that HGF inhibits TGF-β1-induced myofibroblastic differentiation via an AMPK signaling pathway-dependent manner in tendon fibroblasts. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
