patients. Additionally, from the practical point of view, several genetically-altered mice are commonly available on a C57/BL6 background representing a mouse strain that is generally less susceptible to brogenesis.
For investigation of the role of T cells in the context of IBD related brogenesis, the T cell transfer model appears to be promising. With regard to infection-induced models of brosis one should consider the difculty to distinguish between the impact of the applied pathogens as a pro-brotic driver and the commensal micro­biota of the animals. Moreover, Salmonella typhi, the commonly used bacterial spe­cies to induce experimental brosis has not been shown to be associated with the pathogenesis of human IBD.
With regard to the heterotopic intestinal transplant model, the rather articial approach may be a signicant limitation of this model and the immune response towards intestinal resections may be slightly different depending on the individual mouse strain used. Furthermore, the speed of brosis development as well as the absence of vasculature indicate signicant differences compared to the pathophysi­ology of brosis in human IBD patients.
The SAMP1/Yit mouse model possesses particularly high relevance to human brostenotic IBD given the ileal disease localization and appearance of stricture development as well as the absence of an external stimulus. However, the hampered availability of these animals limits a broader use of this promising model.
The gut microbiota-induced model bears the advantage of direct dependence on bacteria-derived components and may therefore be particularly appropriate to study the impact of microbiota on brosis development. Finally, postoperative models using anastomotic brosis imply a high relevance to human brostenotic CD since the same surgical approach is used as in human patients and may therefore allow to study the outcome of routine bowel resection.
In summary, available murine models of intestinal brosis are valuable tools to gather relevant information for human IBD patients with stricturing disease. Independent on the model used, as brosis is primarly a consequence of chronic inammation, differentiation of anti-inammatory from anti-brotic treatment effects should be considered.
9.3 Sources ofMesenchymal Cells inIntestinal Fibrosis
Mesenchymal cells are key effector cells in brogenesis and can present as smooth muscle cells, broblast and myobroblasts [66]. The latter, myobroblasts, respre­sent an activated or differentiated form of broblasts [67]. While broblasts are resi­dent in the interstitium of all human tissues and organs, a persistent stimulus such as injury or inammation results in broblast activation (also referred to as disease­activated myobroblasts) [68]. In addition, activation can be facilitated by various autocrine and paracrine signals as well as by microbiota- or damage-associated molecular patterns and ligation of other pattern recognition receptors [38, 69]. As a

consequence, broblasts become susceptible to inammatory stiumulation due to an increased expression of receptors for pro-inammatory cytokines including TNF-α [70]. Upon inammation-mediated activation, myobroblasts proliferate and produce various molecules that contribute to both, the perpetuation of local inammation as well as to ECM protein deposition [32]. Over recent years, differ­ent sources of myobroblasts have been identied that will be described in the following.
One key aspect of intestinal brogenesis is the proliferation of broblasts. Interestingly, it was demonstrated that broblast proliferation rates per se are increased in human CD and UC patients as compared to broblasts from healthy control patients [71]. Furthermore, is was shown, that various growth factors (known to be increased in the inamed gut) including insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I), basic broblast growth factor (bFGF), epithelial growth factor (EGF), connective tissue growth factor (CTGF), platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) as well as pro- inammatory cytokines such as IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α result in enhanced broblast proliferation in vitro [71–73]. Transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 can further fuel broblast proliferation, however, not by direct stimula­tion of proliferation rates but by enhancing PDGF receptor, CTGF and IGF-1 synthesis [40]. Finally, direct interaction between broblasts and different cell types including mast cells, eosinophils or T cells can further foster broblast proliferation [74].
Within the inamed gut, a chemotactic gradient triggers the active inux of vari­ous cells including broblasts that can most likely migrate from all layers of the intestinal wall as long as the gradient persists. The extent of broblast migration largely dependents on the duration and severity of the underlying inammation. Among various soluble factors that stimulate broblast migration, bronectins appears to be the most potent one [75, 76]. In addition to bronectin, other paracrine and endocrine pathways to stimulate intestinal broblast migration have been iden­tied [77]. Finally, invitro experiments with (human CD) broblasts indicate an reduced migration of these cells after pro-inammatory stimulation with TNF-α and IFN-γ; an effect that may help to maintain these broblasts in situ during brosis development [77].
Mesencyhmal stellate cells are characterized by a low mitogenic activity and their involvement in the retinoic acid metabolism. These cells are known to be crucially involved in liver brosis [78] and differentiate into broblasts and mediate ECM accumulation [79]. Interestingly, cells with retinoid-rich lipid droplets and a stellate­like morphology have also been identied within the submucosal layer [80]. Stellate cells isolated from human IBD patients differentiate into broblasts much faster (reected by an accelerated α-SMA acquisition), proliferate faster and secrete enhanced amounts of ECM components than cells from healthy control patients [81].
It is well-known that adult bone marrow stem cells can differentiate into various adult lineages including broblasts [82]. Indeed, the ability of bone-marrow-derived cells to engraft in damaged tissue is increased and these cells were found to transdif­ferentiale into intestinal pericryptal broblasts in humans and animals [83]. Notably,
136
D. Bettenworth
a substantial amount of myobroblasts may be derived from the bone marrow as elegantly shown in IL-10-decient mice [84].
Furthemore, in the experimental TNBS-induced model of colitis, transplanted bone marrow cells were found to increase with disease severity and contributed to recovery from inammation through differentiation into activated broblasts [85]. Similarly, tissue repair following previous DSS challenge can be accelerated by intravenous administration of immortalized stem cells and does not require prior ablation of the immune system [86].
There is compelling evidence that in addition to the above-mentioned classical sources of broblasts, more recently identied mechanisms are also crucially involved in intestinal brogenesis. For example, epithelial-to-mesenchymal transi- tion (EMT) results in a signicant alteration of the epithelial cell phenotype and function towards that of mesenchymal cells [87]. While TGF-β1 represents the strongest inducer of EMT, IGF-1 and -2, EGF, FGF-2 as well as TNF-α, bronec­tins, brin and reactive oxygen species can further inuence this process [87, 88]. As a consequence, affected cells do not longer express epithelial markers such as E-cadherin, catenins and cytokeratins but constitute a spindle shape morphology and synthesize characteristic broblast proteins such as broblast-specic protein (FSP)-1, α-SMA, vimentin and secrete collagens and bronectin [87, 89]. Furthermore, these cells display an altered capacity of migration as well as inltra­tion and show an increased resistence to apoptosis while the mitosis rate is reduced [87]. EMT has been detected in renal, pulmonary and liver brosis and the overall impact of EMT on brogenesis may be signicant since up to 30% of broblast in renal brosis are assumed to be EMT derived [90]. By now, there is no direct proof for EMT in human brostenotic IBD patients, however, EMT was demonstrated in experimental intestinal inammation with a change of epithelial cell function towards the production of collagen [91]. Furthermore, given the increasing evi­dence of EMT in brotic organs other than the gut, it is highly suggestive that EMT represents a general feature of organ brosis also being present in intestinal brosis [92].
Similarly to epithelial cells, endothelial cells are able to transform into mesen­chymal cells (also referred to as endothelial-to-mesenchymal-transition (EndoMT)). For example, it was reported that embroyogenic stem cells that differentiate into endothelial cells may change their phenotype towards a mesenchymal differentia­tion such as smooth muscle cells (SMC) [93]. Additionally, adult endothelial cells of the bovine aortic or pulmonary artery origin were shown to maintain their ability to transdifferentiate into SMCs [94]. In the context of wound healing experiments, microvascular endothelial cells were found to transdifferentiate into spindle-shaped mesenchymal cells under persistent inammatory conditions. For experimental car­diac brosis, it was estimated that endothelial cells represent one-third of the total pool of tissue-inltrating broblasts [95]. Several similarities between EMT and EndoMT have been reported: TGF-β1 is known to be a potent driver of EndoMT as well, while Insulin-like-growth factor-II and pro-inammatory cytokines such as

137
IL-1β and TNF-α are able to foster EndoMT transdifferentiation [96]. EndoMT has recently been demonstrated in colonic brosis of TNBS-treated mice and in microvessels of the IBD mucosa [97]. Therefore, in line with the evidence of several key inducers of EndoMT within the gut, it is most likely that EndoMT is involved in intestinal brogenesis as well [97].
Vascular smooth muscle cells (vSMC) encompasses arteries and veins while capillaries are surrounded by single cells called pericytes [98]. Both cell types comprise similar cytoskeletal components such as α-SMA and desmin and are located between the endothelium and the interstitium. Pericytes regulate various functions during inammation and also mediate ECM degradation [99]. It has been demonstated that pericytes can be considered as an additional source for broblasts during tissue repair. In addition, pericytes were reported be involed in inammation­associated tissue brosis as these cells can detach from vessels and differentiate into a collagen type-I-producing broblast-like cell [100]. This observation may explain why increased levels of ECM deposition during the initial phase of brogenesis accumulate around blood vessels.
By now, there are only a very few reports on the involvement of pericytes in intestinal brogenesis, which may be at least partially explained by the lack of appropriate invitro models. In the TNBS-induced colitis model, it was shown that vSMCs as well as pericytes can be successfully collected from the bone marrow of mice [85]. Hower the exact role of these cells during intestinal brosis is still unknown.
Fibrocytes represent bone marrow-derived circulating mesenchymal cells expressing hematopoietic and mesenchymal markers such as CD34 (stem cell marker), CD45 (leukocyte antigen) and CD14 (monocytic marker) [101]. In addi­tion, brocytes secrete typical broblast components such as collagens and α-SMA as well as ECM-modifying enzymes. Fibrocytes were furthermore shown to be able to differentiate into broblasts invitro and invivo [102].
Under inammatory conditions, brocytes leave the bone marrow and move directly towards the site of inammation in a CCR2-dependent pathway. Subsequently, broblasts can transdifferentiate into several cell types including epi­thelial, endothelial, neuronal cells and mesenchymal cells [103]. Fibrocytes are characterized by the expression of CD90 and the absence of CD34 and CD45 expression as well as monocyte markers. In contrast, cells expressing CD34 and CD45 or myeloid antigens (e.g. CD11b and CD13), and owing the ability to synthe­size collagen are dened as brocytes and differ from resident leukocytes, dendritic cells, endothelial cells and tissue resident broblasts [101].
Fibrocytes have been identied as an important driver of tissue brosis in experi­mental models of pulmonary, cardiac, renal and vascular brosis [104–106]. Uniformely, brocyte inhibition resulted in a decreased amount of myobroblasts and collagen synthesis. In addition to experimental data, brocytes have been iden­tied in several human diseases including scars and keloids, asthma, nephrogenic brosis, systemic sclerosis, atherosclerosis, chronic pancreatitis, chronic cystitis,

and tumor-associated stromal reaction [107–109]. Given the fact that all these dis­orders are associated with persistent inammatory inltrates, it is most likely that brocytes are also involved in intestinal brosis as well.
In face of the various above-mentioned sources of mesenchymal cells and their dynamic role in intestinal brogenesis, it is crucial to track the cellular fate in exper­imental settings to eludicate the cellular origin and function in vivo. Traditional histological evaluation of the intestine usually requires the death of the animal and therefore does not allow a longitudinal evaluation. Genetically-engineered mice represent a promising tool to study mesenchymal cell fate. For example, α-SMA-
+
GFP mice were used to visualize α-SMA
cells in a recently established α-SMA promotor driven cre-loxP mediated expression of yellow uorescent protein mice (aSMACre;YFP
f/f
mice) [110]. In the context of renal brosis, the specic function of proliferating myobroblasts was nicely studied by of the use of mice in which the viral thymidine kinase was expressed under the control of the α-SMA promotor [110]. In addition, the impact of pericytes was successfully studied by using mice in which yellow and red uorescent protein, respectively, were expressed under the control of Cspg4 and Pdgfrb genes—both being fairly specic pericyte markers [110, 111]. Finally, the role of EMT was addressed by using transgenic reporter mice using γGT-Cre [110].
In addition to genetic modications, it was shown recently that non-invasive MRI may be helpful to assess the fate of mesenchymal stem cells [112, 113]. For example, Kraitchman and collegues demonstrated that the role of magnetically­labelled mesenchymal stem cells (MCSs) in cardiac brosis can be evaluated using an 1.5T MRI scanner [113]. However, recent work by Chen etal. indicated that assessment of iron-oxide labeled MCSs can be confounded by iron-oxide particles that were ingested by macrophages [114]. With regards to the intestine, recently a novel approach to evaluate the fate of implanted mesenchymal cells was introduced employing cell sheets. Here, magnetically and uorescently labeled bone-marrow derived mesenchymal cells were applied to a cell sheet and administered to a murine stula model. Subsequently, cellular fate was successfully monitored invivo by a
4.7T MRI and confocal laser endomicroscopy [115].

9.4 Conclusions

The pathophysiological understanding of intestinal brogenesis has signicanyly increased over recent years. Multiple animal models are available to test novel anti­brotic compounds. Beside classical sources such as broblast proliferation and migration, several other sources of mesenchymal cells have been identied includ­ing stem cells, EMT, EndoMT and pericytes. Further studies evaluating the fate and specic contributions of these cell types to brotic alterations are warranted and may pave the way to a targeted therapeutic manipulation to stop or ameliorate intes­tinal brosis (Fig.9.1).

In addition, to proliferation and migra­tion, broblasts can derive from precursors such as intestinal stellate cells and brocytes or via epithelial- or endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT, EndoMT). Additionally, broblasts can generate form circulating brocytes or from bone marrow stem cells. By now, the role of peri­cytes in intestinal stricture formation is unclear
