Background: Oncostatin-M (OSM) is associated with antitumor necrosis factor (anti-TNF)-α resistance in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and fibrosis in inflammatory diseases. We studied the expression of OSM and its receptors (OSMR, gp130) on intestinal subepithelial myofibroblasts (SEMFs) and the effect of OSM stimulation on SEMFs.
Methods: The mRNA and protein expression of OSM, OSMR, gp130, and several fibrotic and chemotactic factors were studied in mucosal biopsies and isolated human intestinal SEMFs of patients with IBD and healthy controls (HCs) and in a model of human intestinal organoids (HIOs). Subepithelial myofibroblasts and HIOs were stimulated with OSM and interleukin (IL)-1α/TNF-α. RNAseq data of mucosal biopsies were also analyzed.
Results: Oncostatin-M receptors and gp130 were overexpressed in mucosal biopsies of patients with IBD (P < .05), especially in inflamed segments (P < .05). The expression of OSM, OSMR, and gp130 in SEMFs from HCs was increased after stimulation with IL-1α/TNF-α (P < .001; P < .01; P < .01). The expression of CCL2, CXCL9, CXCL10, and CXCL11 was increased in SEMFs from patients with IBD and HCs after stimulation with OSM in a dose-dependent manner (P < .001; P < .05; P < .001; P < .001) and was further increased after prestimulation with IL-1α/TNF-α (P < .01 vs OSM-alone). Similar results were yielded after stimulation of HIOs (P < .01). Oncostatin-M did not induce the expression of collagen I, III, and fibronectin. Oncostatin-M receptor expression was positively correlated with CCL2, CXCL9, CXCL10, and CXCL11 expression in mucosal biopsies (P < .001; P < .001; P = .045; P = .033).
Conclusions: Human SEMFs overexpress OSMR in an inflammatory microenvironment. Oncostatin-M may promote inflammation in IBD via its stimulatory effects on SEMFs, which primarily involve chemoattraction of immune cells to the intestinal mucosa.

Unlabelled: Excessive production of extracellular matrix is a key component in the pathogenesis of Salzmann's nodular degeneration (SND). studies of drugs that suppress excessive fibroblast activity may become crucial in developing pathogenetically oriented treatments for SND.
Purpose: This study evaluates the antifibrotic properties of pirfenidone and cyclosporine A (CsA) on cell cultures obtained from patients with SND.

Enteroendocrine cells (EECs) differentiate and mature to form functionally distinct populations upon migration along the intestinal crypt-villus axis, but how niche signals affect this process is poorly understood. Here, we identify expression of Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) in the intestinal subepithelial myofibroblasts (SEMFs), while the GDNF receptor RET was expressed in a subset of EECs, suggesting GDNF-mediated regulation. Indeed, GDNF-RET signaling induced increased expression of EEC genes including , encoding for the rate-limiting enzyme for 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT, serotonin) biosynthesis, and increased the frequency of 5-HT+ enterochromaffin cells (ECs) in mouse organoid culture experiments and .

Article Synopsis
- Grem1 cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) play a vital role in the development of colorectal cancer (CRC), but their origins and functions have been difficult to study due to technical limitations.
- * The research used an optimized gut Swiss-roll technique to create single cryopreserved slides, revealing a significant increase in Grem1 CAFs in tumor tissues compared to normal mucosa at 12 weeks.
- * Lineage tracing showed that most Grem1 CAFs in the tumor core derived from Grem1 intestinal reticular stem cells (iRSCs), indicating their potential as a key target for early CRC therapies, while a smaller subset came from Grem1 intestinal sub-epithelial myofibroblasts

Human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived intestinal organoids are valuable tools for researching developmental biology and personalized therapies, but their closed topology and relative immature state limit applications. Here, we use organ-on-chip technology to develop a hiPSC-derived intestinal barrier with apical and basolateral access in a more physiological in vitro microenvironment. To replicate growth factor gradients along the crypt-villus axis, we locally expose the cells to expansion and differentiation media.

Article Synopsis
- Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is an inflammatory disease of the sinuses, leading to tissue remodeling and activation of fibroblasts, which can worsen the condition.
- The study aimed to evaluate how doxycycline and a specific conjugate (DA3-Doxy) could inhibit the differentiation of myofibroblasts and reduce the production of extracellular matrix (ECM) in nasal fibroblasts stimulated by TGF-β1.
- Results showed that while both DA3 and DA3-Doxy were cytotoxic at certain concentrations, DA3-Doxy was particularly effective at inhibiting key proteins associated with tissue remodeling and inflammation at lower doses.
