Transforming growth factor-β1 promotes excessive extracellular matrix deposition and epithelial-mesenchymal transition of tubular epithelial cells, thus stimulating the progression of renal fibrosis. Carvacrol has been shown to alleviate cardiac and liver fibrosis and attenuate renal injury. However, the role of carvacrol on renal fibrosis has not been examined. First, measurements using Cell Counting Kit-8 showed that carvacrol reduced cell viability of tubular epithelial cell line HK-2 in a dose-dependent fashion. Second, transforming growth factor-β1 induced excessive extracellular matrix deposition in HK-2 cells with enhanced collagen I, collagen IV, and fibronectin expression. However, carvacrol decreased the expression of collagen I, collagen IV in a dose-dependent manner and fibronectin to attenuate the extracellular matrix deposition in HK-2. Third, carvacrol attenuated TGF-β1-induced decrease of E-cadherin and increase of snail, vimentin, and alpha-smooth muscle actin in HK-2 cells. Transforming growth factor-β1-induced increase in PI3K and AKT phosphorylation in HK-2 were also reversed by carvacrol. Collectively, carvacrol ameliorates renal fibrosis through inhibition of transforming growth factor-β1-induced extracellular matrix deposition and epithelial-mesenchymal transition of HK-2 cells, providing potential therapy for the treatment of renal fibrosis.

Chronic Intestinal Inflammation

The causes of fibrosis, or the inappropriate wound healing, that follows chronic intestinal inflammation are not well defined and likely involve the contributions of multiple cellular mechanisms. As other articles in this series confirm, inflammatory cytokines clearly play a role in driving cell differentiation to the myofibroblast phenotype, promoting proliferation and extracellular matrix deposition that are characteristic of fibrotic tissue. However, controlling the balance of cytokines produced and process of myofibroblast differentiation appears to be more complex. This review considers ways in which hyaluronan, an extracellular matrix component that is remodeled during the progression of colitis, may provide indirect as well as direct cues that influence the balancing act of intestinal wound healing.
