Human Xylosyltransferase I-An Important Linker between Acute Senescence and Fibrogenesis

The human xylosyltransferase isoform XT-I catalyzes the initial step in proteoglycan biosynthesis and represents a biomarker of myofibroblast differentiation. Furthermore, XT-I overexpression is associated with fibrosis, whereby a fibrotic process initially develops from a dysregulated wound healing. In a physiologically wound healing process, extracellular matrix-producing myofibroblasts enter acute senescence to protect against fibrosis. The aim of this study was to determine the role of XT-I in acute senescent proto-myofibroblasts. Normal human dermal fibroblasts were seeded in a low cell density to promote myofibroblast differentiation and treated with H2O2 to induce acute senescence. Initiation of the acute senescence program in human proto-myofibroblasts resulted in a suppression of XYLT mRNA expression compared to the control, whereby the isoform XYLT1 was more affected than XYLT2. Moreover, the XT-I protein expression and enzyme activity were also reduced in H2O2-treated cells compared to the control. The examination of extracellular matrix remodeling revealed reduced expression of collagen I, fibronectin and decorin. In summary, acute senescent proto-myofibroblasts formed an anti-fibrotic phenotype, and suppression of XT-I during the induction process of acute senescence significantly contributed to subsequent ECM remodeling. XT-I therefore plays an important role in the switch between physiological and pathological wound healing.
