Thus, targeting the MRTF/SRF gene transcription pathway could provide an efficacious new approach to therapy for SSc and other fibrotic disorders.

In vivo treatment with CCG-203971 also prevented bleomycin-induced skin thickening and collagen deposition. A novel small-molecule inhibitor of MRTF/SRF-regulated transcription (CCG-203971) inhibits expression of connective tissue growth factor (CTGF), α-smooth muscle actin ( α-SMA), and collagen 1 (COL1A2) in both SSc fibroblasts and in lysophosphatidic acid (LPA)–and transforming growth factor β (TGF β)–stimulated fibroblasts. MRTF/SRF-regulated genes show spontaneously increased expression in primary dermal fibroblasts from patients with diffuse cutaneous SSc. and Wade Narrow for technical advice and experimental support Dirk Bohmann.

In light of evidence that a myocardin-related transcription factor (MRTF)–and serum response factor (SRF)–regulated gene transcriptional program induced by Rho GTPases is essential for myofibroblast activation, we explored the hypothesis that inhibitors of this pathway may represent novel antifibrotics. Current trials focus on anti-inflammatory drugs or targeted approaches aimed at one of the many receptor mechanisms initiating fibrosis.

Systemic sclerosis (SSc), or scleroderma, similar to many fibrotic disorders, lacks effective therapies.
