Abstrakt: | Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic parenchymal lung disease characterized by repetitive alveolar cell injury, myofibroblast proliferation, and excessive extracellular matrix deposition for which unmet need persists for effective therapeutics. The bioactive eicosanoid, prostaglandin F2 α , and its cognate receptor FPr ( Ptfgr ) are implicated as a TGF β 1 independent signaling hub for IPF. To assess this, we leveraged our published murine PF model (I ER - Sftpc I 73 T ) expressing a disease-associated missense mutation in the surfactant protein C ( Sftpc ) gene. Tamoxifen treated I ER - Sftpc I 73 T mice develop an early multiphasic alveolitis and transition to spontaneous fibrotic remodeling by 28 days. I ER - Sftpc I 73 T mice crossed to a Ptgfr null (FPr - / - ) line showed attenuated weight loss and gene dosage dependent rescue of mortality compared to FPr+/+ cohorts. I ER - Sftpc I 73 T /FPr - / - mice also showed reductions in multiple fibrotic endpoints for which administration of nintedanib was not additive. Single cell RNA sequencing, pseudotime analysis, and in vitro assays demonstrated Ptgfr expression predominantly within adventitial fibroblasts which were reprogrammed to an "inflammatory/transitional" cell state in a PGF2 α /FPr dependent manner. Collectively, the findings provide evidence for a role for PGF2 α signaling in IPF, mechanistically identify a susceptible fibroblast subpopulation, and establish a benchmark effect size for disruption of this pathway in mitigating fibrotic lung remodeling.
