Extra Details:
Myofibroblasts are a unique group of smooth muscle-like fibroblasts that play an important role in oncogenesis; inflammation; repair; wound contraction and fibrosis. Like smooth muscle (SM) cells; myofibroblasts contain microfilament bundles and express -SM Actin; the Actin isoform that is present in myoepithelial cells and SM cells and especially abundant in vascular SM cells. Myofibroblasts secrete inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines; chemokines; growth factors and lipid and gaseous inflammatory mediators; as well as extracellular matrix proteins and proteases in most organs and tissues. Besides being temporarily present following tissue injuries and fibrocontractive diseases; myofibroblasts are also present under normal conditions in regions such as the skin; pulmonary septa and periodontal ligaments. Stem cell factor and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) are two secreted proteins responsible for differentiating myofibroblasts from embryological stem cells. PR 2D3 reacts with a cell membrane component of cells in the pericrypt sheath; with smooth muscle cells and myofibroblasts. This antibody is considered to be the gold standard for the identification of myofibroblasts.
