Antifibrotic therapeutic strategies in systemic sclerosis: Critical role of the Wnt/β-catenin and TGF-β signal transduction pathways as potential targets
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a prototypic fibrosing disorder characterized by widespread fibrosis and immune dysregulation. Current evidence highlights the intricate cross-talk between the canonical Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway and transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) signaling, both of which play fundamental roles in the pathogenesis of fibrosis. This review aims to elucidate the central role of the Wnt/β-catenin-TGF-β pathway and TGF-β signal transduction pathway in fibrotic diseases, focusing on SSc. We summarized evidence from cellular biology studies, animal model investigations and clinical observations to provide a comprehensive view of the mechanisms causing pathological fibrosis. In addition, we explore the possibilities of antifibrotic therapeutic strategies against Wnt/β-catenin-TGF-β signaling to counteract fibrosis, delineating approaches for treatment of SSc patients by targeting these interconnected signaling pathways.
