The tight skin 2 (Tsk2) mouse model of systemic sclerosis (SSc) has many features of the human disease including tight skin, fibrosis, extracellular matrix abnormalities, and reported antinuclear antibodies (ANA). Here we report that Tsk2/+ mice develop excess dermal fibrosis with age, as skin is not significantly fibrotic until 10 weeks, a full eight weeks after the development of the physical tight skin phenotype. Concomitantly with the tight skin phenotype at two weeks of age, Tsk2/+ mice demonstrate increased levels of total transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β1) and excessive accumulation of dermal elastic fibers. The increase in elastic fibers is not responsible for tight skin, however, because Tsk2/+ mice genetically engineered to lack skin elastic fibers nevertheless have tight skin and fibrosis. Finally, about two months after the first measurable increases of total collagen, a portion of Tsk2/+ mice produce ANAs, but at a similar level to wild-type littermates. The timeline of disease development in the Tsk2/+ mouse shows that fibrosis is progressive, with elastic fiber alterations and TGF-β1 over-production occurring at least two months beforebona fidefibrosis, that is not dependent on ANA production.
