    A schematic summary of the findings of this study. WISP-1 promotes cardiac fibroblasts’ phenotypic switch from quiescent fibroblasts to myofibroblasts (activated fibroblasts), promoting collagen processing and accumulation. WISP-1 activates Akt signalling via integrin β1/FAK/ILK in cardiac fibroblasts. Deletion of WISP-1 attenuates angiotensin II (AngII)-induced cardiac fibrotic remodelling in vivo. Figure key is illustrated on the top left-hand side of the figure. Purple ↓ denotes promotion; black ↑ denotes increase; ┤ denotes inhibition.

    Proposed model of the effects of Wnt1-inducible signaling protein 1 (WISP1) on the expression of migration inhibitory factor (MIF) and its receptors, as well as on the expression of cyclooxygenase (COX)-2, IL-6, and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2, and production of prostaglandin E 2 (PGE 2 ) from human lung fibroblasts (HLFs).

    ( a ) 3D structure of the extracellular domain of ITGB5 was modeled by AlphaFold2 (cyan) and overlaid with the ITGB3 portion of integrin αVβ3 structure resolved by Xiong et al. (PDB ID: 3IJE, chain B; blue). Overall, we observed high concordance of the 3D structures between ITGB3 and ITGB5, including the highly conserved basic amino acid (ITGB3’s R287 or ITGB5’s K287) in the loop motif of the βA domain highlighted in ( b ). ( c ) Modeling of ITGAV/ITGB5 interaction using the AlphaFold2 predicted ITGB5 structure (cyan) and the ITGAV portion of integrin αVβ3 structure (PDB ID: 3IJE, chain A; red). ( d and e ) Molecular dynamics simulation using GROMACS 2022 with CHARMM36m force field indicates ( d ) a close contact between ITGB5’s K287 and ITGAV’s β-propeller HIP pocket (purple box), and ( e ) the occupancy of Cpd_AV2 (yellow) into ITGAV’s HIP pocket disengaged the side chain of ITGB5’s K287 from stably interacting with ITGAV.
