Cytokines IL4, IL13 and IL33 secreted by immune cells stimulates synthesis of ECM components. IL13 is important in differentiating fibroblast into myofibroblast, a key step in tissue fibrosis
Collagen peptides interact with inhibitory LAIR-1 receptors on immune cells to reduce their cytotoxic function associated with epidermal hyperplasia, bacterial infection or nociception
Elastin In fibrosis, elastin peptides activated fibroblast and augment cytokine production via ERK signaling DOI: 10.1016/j.patbio.2011.10.006
DOI: 10.1016/s0014-5793(02)03057-0
DOI:10.3390/app11188732
Elastin peptides act as chemotactic agents regulating tissue trafficking of macrophage and neutrophils
Elastin peptides induce ROS in immune cells and enhance elastase and MMPs
Low Elastin concentrations impact T cell proliferation and polarization
Laminin Laminin plays role in proliferation, migration and adhesion of immune cells DOI:10.1016/j.it.2017.06.002
DOI:10.3389/fcell.2019.00068
Laminin fragments/processed peptides act as DAMPs and alter expression of cytokines and MMPs
Fibronectin Fibronectin and its variants modulate T cells and TLR signaling DOI: 10.1109/CSPA.2012.6194761
DOI:10.1371/journal.pone.0102974
Fibronectin regulates secretion of cytokines/chemokines in fibroblasts
ECM-1 ECM-1 secreted by Th2 immune cells affects Th17 responses DOI: 10.4049/jimmunol.1502457.
