摘要
Lung fibrosis is the final result of a large number of disorders and is usually considered an irreversible process. However, some evidence suggests that fibrosis could eventually be reversible. In this study we aimed to document the time-related reversibility of bleomycin-induced lung fibrosis and to examine the gene expression profile associated with its initial progression and subsequent resolution. C57BL/6 mice were instilled with a single dose of bleomycin and euthanized at 1, 4, 8, 12, and 16 wk. Control animals received an equal volume of saline. Lung fibrosis was examined by morphology and hydroxyproline content and the transcriptional signature by gene microarray analysis. Our results showed that bleomycin-injured mice developed prominent inflammation at 1 wk, followed by fibrosis that peaked at 2 mo. Then fibrosis resolved until lungs displayed almost normal architecture at 4 mo. Genomewide transcriptional profiling revealed 533 significantly changed genes. Self-organizing maps analysis of these genes identified four clusters based on the temporal pattern of gene expression. Clusters 1 and 2 contained genes upregulated during the inflammatory and fibrotic response and were enriched for extracellular matrix-related genes including several collagens, matrix metalloproteinases, and TIMP-1. Cluster 3 identified upregulated genes during the fibrotic response, and cluster 4 contained genes decreased during inflammation and fibrosis that increased during resolution. Most enriched pathways included genes involved in cell cycle and in regulation of transcription. Our findings corroborate the reversibility of bleomycin-induced lung fibrosis and reveal transcriptional signatures that characterize the progression and resolution.
