AIM: Clubfoot is a congenital deformity affecting the musculoskeletal system, resulting in contracted and stiff tissue in the medial part of the foot. Minoxidil (MXD) has an inhibitory effect on lysyl hydroxylase, which influences the quality of extracellular matrix crosslinking, and could therefore be used to reduce the stiffness and to improve the flexibility of the tissue. We assessed the in vitro antifibrotic effects of minoxidil on clubfoot-derived cells. METHODS: Cell viability and proliferation were quantified by xCELLigence, MTS, and LIVE/DEAD assays. The amount of collagen I deposited into the extracellular matrix was quantified using immunofluorescence with subsequent image segmentation analysis, hydroxyproline assay, and Second Harmonic Generation imaging. Extracellular matrix contraction was studied in a 3D model of cell-populated collagen gel lattices. RESULTS: MXD concentrations of 0.25, 0.5, and 0.75 mM inhibited the cell proliferation in a concentration-dependent manner without causing a cytotoxic effect. Exposure to ≥0.5 mM MXD resulted in a decrease in collagen type I accumulation after 8 and 21 days in culture. Changes in collagen fiber assembly were observed by immunofluorescence microscopy and nonlinear optical microscopy (second harmonic generation). MXD also inhibited the contraction of cell-populated collagen lattices (0.5 mM by 22%; 0.75 mM by 28%). CONCLUSIONS: Minoxidil exerts an in vitro inhibitory effect on the cell proliferation, collagen accumulation, and extracellular matrix contraction processes that are associated with clubfoot fibrosis. This study provides important preliminary results demonstrating the potential relevance of MXD for adjuvant pharmacological therapy in standard treatment of relapsed clubfoot.
