title: Translational control of the fibroblast-extracellular matrix association: An application to pulmonary fibrosis.
abstract: Pulmonary fibrosis is a severe lung disease characterized by sustained propagation of lung fibroblasts and relentless accumulation of extracellular matrix (ECM). Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is the most severe chronic form of pulmonary fibrosis and results both in the gradual exchange of normal lung parenchyma with fibrotic tissue and in the irreversible impairment of gas exchange in the lung. Despite the urgency for novel therapies in IPF treatment, there is no effective and proven medical therapy available. Molecular mechanisms underlying IPF pathogenesis include aberrant ECM signaling through the canonical integrin/PI3K/Akt/mTORC1 signal transduction pathway. One important and well-characterized downstream effector of this pathway is the cellular protein synthesis machinery. Here we will review the recent advances in our understanding of the function of ECM and integrin receptor signaling in development of IPF and will present evidence indicating that the dysregulation of the eIF4F-mediated translational apparatus is an important factor in the development and progression of IPF and other fibrotic disorders. We further discuss the perspectives and challenges to curbing this deadly disease by targeting aberrant translation.
