Activated fibroblasts continue to proliferate at injury sites, leading to progressive muscular fibrosis in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). TGF-beta 1 is a dominant profibrotic mediator thought to play a critical role in muscle fibrosis; however, the implicated mechanisms are not fully understood. Here we showed that TGF-beta 1increased the resistance to apoptosis and stimulated cell cycle progression in dystrophic muscle fibroblasts under serum deprivation conditions in vitro. TGF-beta 1 treatment activated the canonical NF-kappa B pathway; and we found that pharmacological inhibition of IMP with IMD-0354 and RelA gene knockdown with siRNA attenuated these effects of TGF-beta 1 on dystrophic muscle fibroblasts. Collectively, our data suggest that TGF-beta 1 prevents apoptosis and cell cycle arrest in dystrophic muscle fibroblasts through the canonical NF-kappa B signaling pathway. (C) 2016 Elsevier Inc.
