To identify genes which are regulated during this process, the mRNA profiles from primary breast fibroblasts treated with or without TGF-beta1 were analyzed by differential display. Ninety-five differentially expressed transcripts were PCR-cloned and sequenced, and 28 clones were selected for verification in a hybridization array. By use of gene-specific sequence tags, nine differentially expressed genes were identified. One of the clones, identified as CLIC4, a member of the CLIC family of chloride channels, was up-regulated more than 16 times in myofibroblasts and was therefore chosen for further analysis. Using RT-PCR, comparison with CLIC1, CLIC2, CLIC3, and CLIC5 demonstrated that CLIC4 was unique by being up-regulated by TGF-beta1 in myofibroblasts. Immunohistochemistry showed a hitherto unknown, distinctive pattern of CLIC4 expression in breast stroma. Whereas normal breast fibroblasts were devoid of CLIC4 protein expression, myofibroblasts of breast carcinomas were strongly CLIC4-positive. The functional significance of CLIC4 was analyzed in MEF/3T3 fibroblasts by conditional expression using the tetracycline-repressive gene regulation system. In a migration assay, we found that CLIC4 inhibited cell motility by 27%. These results suggest that CLIC4 is differentially regulated in fibroblasts and that its expression contributes to a collective stationary myofibroblast phenotype."xsd:string
