概要 Collagen deposition by fibroblasts contributes to scarring in fibrotic diseases. Activation of protein kinase A (PKA) by cAMP represents a pivotal brake on fibroblast activation, and the lipid mediator prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) exerts its well known anti-fibrotic actions through cAMP signaling. However, fibrotic fibroblasts from the lungs of patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, or of mice with bleomycin-induced fibrosis, are resistant to the normal collagen-inhibiting action of PGE(2). In this study, we demonstrate that plasminogen activation to plasmin restores PGE(2) sensitivity in fibrotic lung fibroblasts from human and mouse. This involves amplified PKA signaling resulting from the promotion of new interactions between AKAP9 and PKA regulatory subunit II in the perinuclear region as well as from the inhibition of protein phosphatase 2A. This is the first report to show that an extracellular mediator can dramatically reorganize and amplify the intracellular PKA-A-kinase anchoring protein signaling network and suggests a new strategy to control collagen deposition by fibrotic fibroblasts.
