Cell lysate samples were analysed by Western blotting using phosphorylated Akt (p-Akt) (Ser473) and total Akt (t-Akt) antibodies. ( A ) Representative Western blots of p-Akt (Ser473) and t-Akt protein expression. The ratio of p-Akt (Ser473) to t-Akt was calculated and expressed as the relative fold change to the control. Data shown as mean ± SEM (n = 9). Statistical analysis was performed using Mann–Whitney U test. * indicates p < 0.05.

    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). The effect of WISP-1 on the expression of MIF in HLFs with the complex interactions between WISP-1, αvβ5, Src kinases, EGF receptor (EGFR), and CD74/CD44 receptors, reveal intricate regulatory networks that could contribute to the expression of proinflamamtory molecules and remodeling enzymes secretion.
