Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are increased in the airways after allergen challenge. RhoA/ROCK signaling is critical in determining the lineage fate of MSCs in tissue repair/remodeling. To investigate the role of RhoA/ROCK signaling in lineage commitment of MSCs during allergen-induced airway remodeling and delineate the underlying mechanisms. Active RhoA expression in asthmatic lung tissues and its role in cockroach allergen-induced airway inflammation and remodeling were investigated. The RhoA/ROCK signaling-mediated MSC lineage commitment was assessed in an asthma mouse model using MSC lineage tracing mice (nestin-Cre; ROSA26-EYFP). The role of RhoA/ROCK in MSC lineage commitment was also examined by MSCs expressing constitutively active RhoA (RhoA-L63) or dominant negative RhoA (RhoA-N19). Downstream RhoA-regulated genes were identified using the stem cell signaling array. Lung tissues from asthmatic mice showed increased expression of active RhoA when compared with those from controls. Inhibition of RhoA/ROCK signaling with fasudil, a RhoA/ROCK inhibitor, reversed established cockroach allergen-induced airway inflammation and remodeling as assessed by more collagen deposition/fibrosis. Furthermore, fasudil inhibited MSC differentiation into fibroblasts/myofibroblasts, but promoted MSC differentiation into epithelial cells in asthmatic nestin-Cre; ROSA26-EYFP mice. Consistently, expression of RhoA-L63 facilitated the differentiation of MSCs to fibroblasts/myofibroblasts, whereas expression of RhoA-19 switched the differentiation toward epithelial cells. Gene Array identified the Wnt signaling effector Lef1 as the most up-regulated gene in RhoA-L63-transfected MSCs. Knockdown of Lef1 induced MSC differentiation away from fibroblasts/myofibroblasts but towards epithelial cells. These findings uncover a previously unrecognized role of RhoA/ROCK signaling in MSC-involved airway repair/remodeling in asthma. MSCs are critical in airway repair/remodeling in asthma. RhoA/ROCK signaling functions as a molecular switch for the lineage fate of MSCs during airway repair/remodeling. Targeting RhoA/ROCK signaling might be an effective therapeutic strategy for asthma.
