In vertebrates, hyaluronan is produced in the plasma membrane from cytosolic UDP-sugar substrates by hyaluronan synthase 1–3 (HAS1–3) isoenzymes that transfer N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) and glucuronic acid (GlcUA) in alternative positions in the growing polysaccharide chain during its simultaneous extrusion into the extracellular space. It has been shown that HAS2 immunoprecipitates contain functional HAS2 homomers and also heteromers with HAS3 (Karousou, E., Kamiryo, M., Skandalis, S. S., Ruusala, A., Asteriou, T., Passi, A., Yamashita, H., Hellman, U., Heldin, C. H., and Heldin, P. (2010) The activity of hyaluronan synthase 2 is regulated by dimerization and ubiquitination. J. Biol. Chem. 285, 23647–23654). Here we have systematically screened in live cells, potential interactions among the HAS isoenzymes using fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) and flow cytometric quantification. We show that all HAS isoenzymes form homomeric and also heteromeric complexes with each other. The same complexes were detected both in Golgi apparatus and plasma membrane by using FRET microscopy and the acceptor photobleaching method. Proximity ligation assays with HAS antibodies confirmed the presence of HAS1-HAS2, HAS2-HAS2, and HAS2-HAS3 complexes between endogenously expressed HASs. C-terminal deletions revealed that the enzymes interact mainly via uncharacterized N-terminal 86-amino acid domain(s), but additional binding site(s) probably exist in their C-terminal parts. Of all the homomeric complexes HAS1 had the lowest and HAS3 the highest synthetic activity. Interestingly, HAS1 transfection reduced the synthesis of hyaluronan obtained by HAS2 and HAS3, suggesting functional cooperation between the isoenzymes. These data indicate a general tendency of HAS isoenzymes to form both homomeric and heteromeric complexes with potentially important functional consequences on hyaluronan synthesis. 相似文献

A functional renin-angiotensin system (RAS) is required for normal kidney development. Neonatal inhibition of the RAS in rats results in long-term pathological renal phenotype and causes hyaluronan (HA), which is involved in morphogenesis and inflammation, to accumulate. To elucidate the mechanisms, intrarenal HA content was followed during neonatal completion of nephrogenesis with or without angiotensin converting enzyme inhibition (ACEI) together with mRNA expression of hyaluronan synthases (HAS), hyaluronidases (Hyal), urinary hyaluronidase activity and cortical lymphatic vessels, which facilitate the drainage of HA from the tissue. In 6-8 days old control rats cortical HA content was high and reduced by 93% on days 10-21, reaching adult low levels. Medullary HA content was high on days 6-8 and then reduced by 85% to 12-fold above cortical levels at day 21. In neonatally ACEI-treated rats the reduction in HA was abolished. Temporal expression of HAS2 corresponded with the reduction in HA content in the normal kidney. In ACEI-treated animals cortical HAS2 remained twice the expression of controls. Medullary Hyal1 increased in controls but decreased in ACEI-treated animals. Urine hyaluronidase activity decreased with time in control animals while in ACEI-treated animals it was initially 50% lower and did not change over time. Cells expressing the lymphatic endothelial mucoprotein podoplanin in ACEI-treated animals were increased 18-fold compared to controls suggesting compensation. In conclusion, the high renal HA content is rapidly reduced due to reduced HAS2 and increased Hyal1 mRNA expressions. Normal angiotensin II function is crucial for inducing these changes. Due to the extreme water-attracting and pro-inflammatory properties of HA, accumulation in the neonatally ACEI-treated kidneys may partly explain the pathological renal phenotype of the adult kidney, which include reduced urinary concentration ability and tubulointerstitial inflammation. 相似文献

Despite evidence that points to unfettered hyaluronic acid (HA) production as a culprit in the progression of rheumatic disorders, little is known about differences in regulation and biological functions of the three hyaluronan synthase (HAS) genes. Testing the effects of drugs with proven anti-inflammatory effects could help to clarify biological functions of these genes. In this study, we demonstrate that leflunomide suppresses HA release in fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) in a dose-dependent manner. We further demonstrate that leflunomide suppresses HA synthase activity, as determined by (14)C-glucuronic acid incorporation assays. Additional experiments revealed that in FLS, leflunomide specifically blocked the induction of HAS1. HAS2 and HAS3, genes that are, in contrast to HAS1, constitutively expressed in FLS, are not significantly affected. Leflunomide can function as a NF-kappaB inhibitor. However, EMSA experiments demonstrate that at the concentrations used, leflunomide neither interferes with IL-1beta- nor with PMA-induced NF-kappaB translocation. Furthermore, reconstituting the pyrimidine synthase pathway did not lead to the restoration of IL-1beta-induced HAS1 activation. More importantly, two tyrosine kinase inhibitors mimicked the effect of leflunomide in that both blocked IL-1beta-induced HAS1 activation without affecting HAS2 or HAS3. These data point at HAS1 activation as the possible cause for unfettered HA production in rheumatoid arthritis and might explain, at least in part, the beneficial effects of leflunomide treatment. These findings also support the concept that IL-1beta-induced HAS1 activation depends on the activation of tyrosine kinases, and indicate that leflunomide blocks HA release by suppressing tyrosine kinases rather than through inhibition of NF-kappaB translocation. 相似文献

Hyaluronan (HA) production has been functionally implicated in prostate tumorigenesis and metastasis. We previously used prostate tumor cells overexpressing the HA synthesizing enzyme HAS3 or the clinically relevant hyaluronidase Hyal1 to show that excess HA production suppresses tumor growth, while HA turnover accelerates spontaneous metastasis from the prostate. Here, we examined pathways responsible for effects of HAS3 and Hyal1 on tumor cell phenotype. Detailed characterization of cell cycle progression revealed that expression of Hyal1 accelerated cell cycle re-entry following synchronization, whereas HAS3 alone delayed entry. Hyal1 expressing cells exhibited a significant reduction in their ability to sustain ERK phosphorylation upon stimulation by growth factors, and in their expression of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p21. In contrast, HAS3 expressing cells showed prolonged ERK phosphorylation and increased expression of both p21 and p27, in asynchronous and synchronized cultures. Changes in cell cycle regulatory proteins were accompanied by HA-induced suppression of N-cadherin, while E-cadherin expression and β-catenin expression and distribution remained unchanged. Our results are consistent with a model in which excess HA synthesis suppresses cell proliferation by promoting homotypic E-cadherin mediated cell–cell adhesion, consequently signaling to elevate cell cycle inhibitor expression and suppress G1- to S-phase transition. 相似文献

The importance of glycosaminoglycan hyaluronan (HA) and its receptor CD44 in cell proliferation is becoming increasingly evident.
Expression of the genes coding for hyaluronan synthase 1 (HAS1), HAS2, HAS3, CD44, fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2), and
FGF receptor-1 (FGFR-1) and the histological evidence for increases of HA and CD44 were investigated in an experimental rat
model of cardiac hypertrophy. The abdominal aorta was ligated to induce cardiac hypertrophy, and mRNAs prepared from heart
tissue were analyzed after 1, 6, and 42 days. The total concentration of HA was quantified, and HA and CD44 were studied histochemically.
The expression of HAS1, HAS2, CD44, and FGF-2 was considerably up-regulated at days 1 and 6 and returned to basal levels after 42 days. FGFR-1 was up-regulated at day 1 but at basal levels once more at days 6 and 42. The concentration of HA significantly increased
in aorta-ligated rats. Histochemical analysis showed increased expression of CD44 in hypertrophied myocardium mainly in and
around the coronary arteries. These results agree well with other studies of tissue growth (malignancies and wound healing).
The increase of HA, its synthases, and receptor in parallel with FGF-2 and its receptor illustrates their complicated interplay in the development of cardiac hypertrophy. The up-regulation of
both HAS1 and HAS2 indicates the importance of HA production in the hypertrophic process and the possibility that HA is needed for two different
purposes for the heart to be able to adapt to the increased afterload caused by aortic ligature.

Changes in the composition and assembly of extracellular matrix (ECM) are the most prominent structure abnormalities of the vascular system encountered in early diabetes. Hyaluronan (HA) is a key biologically active element of ECM that plays a crucial role in vascular remodelling in atherosclerosis and restenosis following percutaneous coronary intervention. Hyperglycaemia led to significant increase in HA secretion by vascular smooth muscle cells. Hyperglycaemia also strongly induced HA synthase mRNA levels, notably HAS1–HAS3 mRNA. Remarkably, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR-γ) agonists pioglitazone (Pio) and rosiglitazone (Rosi), a class of anti-diabetic drugs, attenuated hyperglycaemia-induced HA secretion and reduced HAS2 mRNA expression. In vitro experiment with siRNA specific to PPAR-γ demonstrated that the attenuation of hyperglycaemia-induced HA secretion by Pio and Rosi was independent of PPAR-γ activity. Furthermore, hyperglycaemia-induced increase in HA secretion and HAS2 mRNA expression involved protein kinase Cβ2 (PKCβ2) activation, while Pio and Rosi exerted their attenuating effect on HA secretion by inhibiting PKCβ2. 相似文献

The natural cervical relaxation which occurs at estrus in the ewe may be initiated by binding of hyaluronan (HA) to its receptor CD44. Indeed, we have previously shown that HA content and fragment size in the ovine cervix varies with the stage of the estrous cycle. Despite the importance of cervical relaxation in promoting sperm transport and facilitating the possible development of transcervical artificial insemination (AI), the mechanisms coordinating these changes in HA content remain to be defined. Hyaluronan synthases (HAS) 1, 2, and 3 regulate HA biosynthesis and herein, we describe the changing pattern of HAS isoform expression during the estrous cycle to determine whether this may underpin HA-mediated changes in relaxation of the ovine cervix. Accordingly, cervices were collected from 24 cyclic sheep (n = 8 / group) at the luteal, pre-luteinizing hormone (LH) and post-LH surge stages. Protein and mRNA expression for HAS 1, 2 and 3 was determined in five different tissue layers (epithelium, subepithelial stroma, and longitudinal, circular and transverse muscle) of the vaginal, mid and uterine regions of each cervix by immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization, respectively. HA synthases were expressed in all the tissue layers and regions of the cervix, and the pattern of expression was similar for mRNA and protein. HAS1 protein and mRNA expression was significantly (P ≤ 0.05) higher at the pre-LH surge stage, while HAS 2 and 3 protein and mRNA expression was significantly (P ≤ 0.001) higher at the luteal stage. Overall, both HAS protein and mRNA expression was significantly (P ≤ 0.001) higher in the epithelial layer and the vaginal region. These findings are in accordance with our previous results and explain the differences observed in the HA content and differing HA fragment size at different stages of the estrous cycle. 相似文献

Mechanical loading of skeletal muscle results in molecular and phenotypic adaptations typified by enhanced muscle size. Studies on humans are limited by the need for repeated sampling, and studies on animals have methodological and ethical limitations. In this investigation, three-dimensional skeletal muscle was tissue-engineered utilizing the murine cell line C2C12, which bears resemblance to native tissue and benefits from the advantages of conventional in vitro experiments. The work aimed to determine if mechanical loading induced an anabolic hypertrophic response, akin to that described in vivo after mechanical loading in the form of resistance exercise. Specifically, we temporally investigated candidate gene expression and Akt-mechanistic target of rapamycin 1 signalling along with myotube growth and tissue function. Mechanical loading (construct length increase of 15%) significantly increased insulin-like growth factor-1 and MMP-2 messenger RNA expression 21 hr after overload, and the levels of the atrophic gene MAFbx were significantly downregulated 45 hr after mechanical overload. In addition, p70S6 kinase and 4EBP-1 phosphorylation were upregulated immediately after mechanical overload. Maximal contractile force was augmented 45 hr after load with a 265% increase in force, alongside significant hypertrophy of the myotubes within the engineered muscle. Overall, mechanical loading of tissue-engineered skeletal muscle induced hypertrophy and improved force production. 相似文献

CD44 on macrophages is recognized as a phagocytic receptor involved in the phagocytosis of apoptotic cells. Recently, we detected CD44 on macrophages in atretic follicles during atresia. In this study, we evaluated the distribution of the principal CD44 ligand hyaluronan (HA) and the expressions of HA synthases (HAS: HAS1, HAS2, and HAS3) during atresia in pig ovaries. We determined the 2139-bp sequence of Sus scrofa HAS1 and raised an anti-HAS1 polyclonal antibody. The S. scrofa HAS1 sequence contained six putative HA-binding motifs and conserved amino acid residues crucial for GlcNac transferase activity. HAS1 mRNA expression was upregulated during atresia; however, HAS2 and HAS3 mRNA expression levels were low and very low to undetectable, respectively. Western blotting showed that HAS1 was markedly upregulated during atresia. Immunohistochemical analyses revealed HAS1 distribution in theca cells of healthy and early atretic (stages I and II) follicles and in progressing atretic (stage III) follicles. Hyaluronan was visualized with the HA-binding protein; it accumulated in the theca layer during all stages and in stage III follicles. Hyaluronan assay showed a significantly increased HA concentration in follicular fluid at stage III. Flow cytometry showed HAS1 expression in 55.7% of SIRPA-positive macrophages in stage III follicles. Our results suggest that the HA concentration in follicular fluids increased during atresia and that HAS1 may be the dominant HAS protein in theca cells to produce HA in pig ovaries. 相似文献

The capacity for skeletal muscle to repair from daily insults as well as larger injuries is a vital component to maintaining muscle health over our lifetime. Given the importance of skeletal muscle for our physical and metabolic well-being, identifying novel factors mediating the growth and repair of skeletal muscle will thus build our foundational knowledge and help lead to potential therapeutic avenues for muscle wasting disorders. To that end, we investigated the expression of T-cell death associated gene 51 (TDAG51) during skeletal muscle repair and studied the response of TDAG51 deficient (TDAG51-/-) mice to chemically-induced muscle damage.TDAG51 mRNA and protein expression within uninjured skeletal muscle is almost undetectable but, in response to chemically-induced muscle damage, protein levels increase by 5 days post-injury and remain elevated for up to 10 days of regeneration. To determine the impact of TDAG51 deletion on skeletal muscle form and function, we compared adult male TDAG51-/- mice with age-matched wild-type (WT) mice. Body and muscle mass were not different between the two groups, however, in situ muscle testing demonstrated a significant reduction in force production both before and after fatiguing contractions in TDAG51-/- mice.During the early phases of the regenerative process (5 days post-injury), TDAG51-/- muscles display a significantly larger area of degenerating muscle tissue concomitant with significantly less regenerating area compared to WT (as demonstrated by embryonic myosin heavy chain expression). Despite these early deficits in regeneration, TDAG51-/- muscles displayed no morphological deficits by 10 days post injury compared to WT mice.Taken together, the data presented herein demonstrate TDAG51 expression to be upregulated in damaged skeletal muscle and its absence attenuates the early phases of muscle regeneration. 相似文献

Temporal changes in matrix metalloproteinase expression and inflammatory response associated with cardiac rupture after myocardial infarction in mice 总被引:18,自引:0,他引:18
We previously found that male mice with myocardial infarction (MI) had a high rate of cardiac rupture, which generally occurred at 3 to 5 days after MI. Since matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) play an important role in infarct healing, tissue repair and extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling post-MI, we studied the temporal relationship of MMP expression and inflammatory response to cardiac rupture after acute MI. Male C57BL/6J mice were subjected to MI (induced by ligating the left anterior descending coronary artery) and killed 1, 2, 4, 7 or 14 days after MI. MMP-2 and MMP-9 activity in the heart were measured by zymography. Collagen content was measured by hydroxyproline assay. We found that after MI, MMP-9 activity increased as early as 1 day and reached a maximum by 2-4 days, associated with a similar increase in neutrophil and macrophage infiltration in the infarct area. MMP-2 started to increase rapidly within 4 days, reaching a maximum by 7 days and remaining high even at 14 days. Intense macrophage infiltration appeared by 4 days after MI and then gradually decreased within 7 to 14 days. Collagen content was unchanged until 4 days after MI, at which point it increased and remained high thereafter. Our data suggest that in mice, overexpression of MMP-2 and MMP-9 (possibly expressed mainly by neutrophils and macrophages) may lead to excessive ECM degradation in the early phase of MI, impairing infarct healing and aggravating early remodeling which in turn causes cardiac rupture. 相似文献

The dysregulation of the metabolism of glycosaminoglycan and protein components of extracellular matrix (ECM) is a typical feature of diabetic complications. High glucose-induced enrichment of ECM with hyaluronan (HA) not only affects tissue structural integrity, but influences cell metabolic response due to the variety of effects depending on the HA polymer molecular weight. TSP-1-dependent activation of TGFbeta1 axis is known to mediate numerous matrix disorders in diabetes, but its role concerning HA has not been studied so far. In this work we demonstrated that 30 mM D-glucose increased the incorporation of [(3)H]glucosamine in high-molecular-weight (> 2000 kDa) HA of medium and matrix compartments of human mesangial cultures. Simultaneously, the synthesis of HA with lower molecular weight and HA degradation were not altered. The cause of the increased high-molecular-weight HA synthesis consisted in the up-regulation of hyaluronan synthase (HAS) 2 mRNA without alterations of the expression of HAS3, which generates HA of lower molecular weight. D-Glucose at 30 mM also stimulated the production of transforming growth factor beta1 (TGFbeta1), the excessive activation of which was determined by the up-regulation of thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1). The blockage of TGFbeta1 action either by neutralizing anti-TGFbeta1 antibodies or by quenching the TGFbeta1 activation (with TSP-1-derived synthetic GGWSHW peptide) abolished the effect of high glucose on HAS2 mRNA expression and normalized the synthesis of HA. Exogenous human TGFbeta1 had the same effect on HAS2 expression and HA synthesis as high glucose treatment. Therefore, we supposed that TSP-1-dependent TGFbeta1 activation is involved in the observed high glucose effect on HA metabolism. Since high-molecular-weight HA polymers, unlike middle- and low-molecular weight HA oligosaccharides, are known to possess anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic functions, we suppose that the enrichment of mesangial matrix with high-molecular-weight HA may represent an endogenous mechanism to limit renal injury in diabetes. 相似文献

Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the airways characterized by airway remodeling, which includes changes in the extracellular matrix (ECM). However the role of the ECM in mediating these changes is poorly understood. Hyaluronan (HA), a major component of the ECM, has been implicated in asthma as well as in many other biological processes. Our study investigates the processes involved in HA synthesis, deposition, localization and degradation during an acute and chronic murine model of ovalbumin (OVA)-induced allergic pulmonary inflammation. Mice were sensitized, challenged to OVA and sacrificed at various time points during an 8-week challenge protocol. Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluids, blood, and lung tissue were collected for study. RNA, HA, protein and histopathology were analyzed. Analyses of lung sections and BAL fluids revealed an early deposition and an increase in HA levels within 24 h of antigen exposure. HA levels peaked at day 8 in BAL, while inflammatory cell recovery peaked at day 6. Hyaluronan synthase (HAS)1 and HAS2 on RNA levels peaked within 2 h of antigen exposure, while hyaluronidase (HYAL)1 and HYAL2 on RNA levels decreased. Both inflammatory cell infiltrates and collagen deposition co-localized with HA deposition within the lungs. These data support a role for HA in the pathogenesis of inflammation and airway remodeling in a murine model of asthma. HA deposition appears largely due to up regulation of HAS1 and HAS2. In addition, HA appears to provide the scaffolding for inflammatory cell accumulation as well as for new collagen synthesis and deposition. 相似文献

Hyaluronan (HA) is an extracellular matrix glycosaminoglycan (GAG) involved in cell motility, proliferation, tissue remodeling, development, differentiation, inflammation, tumor progression, and invasion and controls vessel thickening in cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, the control of HA synthesis could permit the fine-tuning of cell behavior, but the mechanisms that regulate HA synthesis are largely unknown. Recent studies suggest that the availability of the nucleotide-sugar precursors has a critical role. Because the formation of UDP-sugars is a highly energetically demanding process, we have analyzed whether the energy status of the cell could control GAG production. AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is the main ATP/AMP sensor of mammalian cells, and we mimicked an energy stress by treating human aortic smooth muscle cells (AoSMCs) with the AMPK activators 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide-1-β-D-ribofuranoside and metformin. Under these conditions, HA synthesis, but not that of the other GAGs, was greatly reduced. We confirmed the inhibitory effect of AMPK using a specific inhibitor and knock-out cell lines. We found that AMPK phosphorylated Thr-110 of human HAS2, which inhibits its enzymatic activity. In contrast, the other two HAS isoenzymes (HAS1 and HAS3) were not modified by the kinase. The reduction of HA decreased the ability of AoSMCs to proliferate, migrate, and recruit immune cells, thereby reducing the pro-atherosclerotic AoSMC phenotype. Interestingly, such effects were not recovered by treatment with exogenous HA, suggesting that AMPK can block the pro-atherosclerotic signals driven by HA by interaction with its receptors. 相似文献
