The effect of synovial fluid proteins in the degradation of hyaluronic acid induced by ascorbic acid
The degradation of hyaluronic acid induced by ascorbic acid and the effect of synovial fluid proteins, such as ceruloplasmin, transferrin, and albumin, were investigated on the basis of the elution volume and the molecular weight of hyaluronic acid using high-performance gel permeation chromatography. Hyaluronic acid was degraded to less than one-third of the original molecular weight in the range of the physiological concentrations of ascorbic acid. Synovial fluid proteins protected against the ascorbate-dependent degradation of hyaluronic acid at their physiological concentrations. It is suggested that the inhibitory activity of ceruloplasmin mainly depends on the ferroxidase activity and that of transferrin is probably due to iron binding property. 相似文献

Hyaluronic acid (HA) is an important biomacromolecule, which fulfils a number of vital physiological functions (especially in the joint synovial fluid) and also has consumer and pharmaceutical applications. HA solution properties have already been quite thoroughly characterized in response to steady shear flows but are less well understood in highly deforming extensional flows. In this study, flow‐induced birefringence measurements are made as a function of the strain rate in planar elongational flow at the stagnation point of a cross‐slot device using HA solutions of a range of molecular weights and at dilute concentrations. The results provide macromolecular relaxation times, molecular weight distributions and the extensional viscosities and Trouton ratios of the fluids. The HA relaxation time is found to vary as 1.8, which is consistent with a partially solvated, expanded coil. An intrinsic Trouton ratio is defined, which varies as 2. The measurement of birefringence with strain rate is shown to be highly sensitive to the molecular weight distribution and can resolve subtle changes due to macromolecular degradation and the presence of fracture products. Mechanical degradation experiments in the cross‐slots indicate midchain scission of HA macromolecules, strongly suggesting near full extension of the high‐molecular weight fraction in the stagnation point extensional flow field. Taken together the results suggest a possible method for analysis of the HA in synovial fluid, and this concept is tested using synovial fluid obtained from porcine tarsal joint. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Mural and cumulus granulosa cells synthesize hyaluronic acid (HA) and expand in vitro in response to follicle-stimulating hormone and a soluble factor(s) produced by fully grown oocytes. In the present study we examined HA synthesis and extracellular matrix organization by the two cell populations in vivo during the preovulatory period. After injection of human chorionic gonadotropin into pregnant mares' serum gonadotropin-primed animals, a progressive increase in HA synthesis was observed by the cumulus cell-oocyte complex (COC), and by the mural granulosa cells adjacent to the antrum (antral granulosa cells). The outermost layers of mural granulosa cells (peripheral granulosa cells) did not synthesize HA. Net HA synthesis was approximately 4 pg/cell for COCs isolated after full expansion induced either in vivo or in vitro, whereas the total HA content and cell number in the ovulated COC (approximately 11 ng HA and approximately 3000 cells per COC) were about threefold higher than for COCs expanded in vitro (approximately 4 ng HA and approximately 1000 cells per COC). The increased cell content of ovulated COCs appears to be primarily the result of inclusion of proximal mural granulosa cells which synthesize HA in response to the oocyte factor(s) and become incorporated in the expanded COC extracellular matrix mass. Media conditioned by oocytes enclosed in the cumulus cell mass (intact COCs) contained only 10-20% of the HA-stimulatory activity of media conditioned by an equal number of isolated oocytes when tested on mural granulosa cell cultures. Further, HA-stimulatory activity of media conditioned by isolated oocytes was dramatically reduced (approximately 70%) by preincubation for 5 hr with cumulus cells compared to preincubation in the absence of cells. The results suggest that differences in HA synthesis between subregions of membrana granulosa depend on a diffusion gradient of the oocyte factor(s). 相似文献

Synovial cell lines were established from patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and from normal human embryos. High levels of hyaluronic acid (HA) were produced by some RA cell lines, some of which were partially or completely resistant to infection with Newcastle disease virus (NDV), vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV), and rubella virus (RV). Normal fetal synovial cells lines were susceptible to NDV, VSV, and RV. Infection with virus became possible after treatment of RA cells with hyaluronidase to depolymerize HA, and HA prevented infection of normal synovial cells with VSV. These results provide evidence that HA and not chronic or latent viral infection is responsible for the lack of susceptibility of RA synovial cells to certain viruses. 相似文献

Influences of sulfated glycosaminoglycans on biosynthesis of hyaluronic acid in rabbit knee synovial membrane 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The effect of various sulfated glycosaminoglycans on glycoconjugates syntheses in synovial membranes of rabbit knee joints in culture was investigated by two different approaches. In the first approach, synovial membranes isolated from rabbit knee joints were cultured in the presence of sulfated glycosaminoglycans and [14C]glucosamine. In the second approach, solutions of sulfated glycosaminoglycans were injected into rabbit knee joints and synovial membranes isolated from the joints were cultured in the presence of [14C]glucosamine. The major part of [14C]glucosamine-labeled glycoconjugates associated with the synovial membranes and secreted into culture medium was hyaluronic acid. Of the natural glycosaminoglycans tested, dermatan sulfate gave the maximum stimulation of hyaluronic acid synthesis followed by chondroitin 4- and 6-sulfate. Heparin, heparan sulfate, keratan sulfate, keratan polysulfate, and hyaluronic acid had no significant effect. Of the chemically polysulfated glycosaminoglycans, GAGPS (a persulfated derivative of chondroitin sulfate) gave high stimulation but N-acetylchitosan 3,6-disulfate had no effect. The effect of sulfated glycosaminoglycans on hyaluronic acid synthesis was the same in both experimental approaches. The increase in the amount of secreted hyaluronic acid in culture medium paralleled that in synovial membranes. The results indicate that the galactosamine-containing sulfated glycosaminoglycans have a specific stimulatory effect on hyaluronic acid synthesis. A high degree of sulfation of the molecules appeared to potentiate the stimulatory effect. 相似文献

Exogenous hyaluronic acid (HA) added to a confluent monolayer of 3T3 BALB cells facilitates cell detachment which can be enhanced by gently pipetting. When HA is added to a cell culture with the cell inoculum, the cells are able to grow and form a confluent monolayer, but the cellular density is lower than in the control cultures, in a concentration-dependent way. This difference seems due to the ease of detachment promoted by HA on the cells near confluency. In fact only near confluency is the amount of the detached cells greater in the culture plates containing HA than in controls. Culture dishes containing substrate-attached material (SAM) left behind by the confluent 3T3 BALB cells have been prepared by removing the cells with different detaching agents. The SAM-containing dishes have been incubated in the presence of HA for 24 h and, after washing, were used for cell cultures. The cells grown on such HA-treated dishes show a very low density at confluency and in some cases are prevented from forming a confluent monolayer. When the SAM-containing dishes are treated with Streptomyces hyaluronidase, the effect of HA is abolished and the cells are able to grow normally. Among the chondroitin sulphates, only chondroitin sulphate C shows the same effects as HA, whereas A and B are ineffective. 相似文献

Mouse oocytes regulate hyaluronic acid synthesis and mucification by FSH-stimulated cumulus cells 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Mucification (or expansion) of the cumulus cells surrounding the oocyte is thought to depend on the direct action of gonadotropins in stimulating production and deposition of hyaluronic acid (HA) in the extracellular matrix. We now report that the oocyte is essential for this process. Either follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) at 1 micrograms/ml or dibutyryl cAMP at 2 mM induces mucification of intact cumulus cell-oocyte complexes (COCs) in vitro, but fails to stimulate mucification of isolated cumulus cells. HA synthesis by FSH-stimulated cumulus cells is only approximately 3.5% of the value achieved by FSH-stimulated COCs. Isolated oocytes cultured with or without FSH do not synthesize detectable amounts of HA but induce isolated cumulus cells to increase HA synthesis approximately 13-fold in cocultures with FSH. Medium conditioned by isolated oocytes for 5 hr induces nearly the same level of HA synthesis by cumulus cells under the same culture conditions. FSH also stimulates cumulus cells to increase synthesis of dermatan sulfate proteoglycans (DS-PGs) approximately 3-fold, but this stimulation does not depend upon the presence of oocytes. The results indicate that oocytes produce a soluble factor(s) essential in combination with FSH to stimulate HA, but not DS-PG, synthesis by cumulus cells in vitro and that this factor(s) acts independently or downstream from the FSH-induced formation of cAMP. 相似文献

Ovarian cancer has the highest mortality rate of any gynaecological malignancy. This is caused by metastatic deposits obstructing
the intestinal tract. Very little is known about the molecules involved in the initial attachment of the metastatic tumour
cells to the peritoneal mesothelial lining. Previously, we showed that many ovarian tumour lines express the adhesion molecule,
CD44, on their cell surface. The major ligand for CD44 is the extracellular matrix glycosaminoglycan, hyaluronic acid (HA).
Because mesothelial cells have a pericellular cost that contains large amounts of HA, it was postulated that the CD44/HA interaction
is an important stage in ovarian cancer spread. However, it was difficult to demonstrate this interaction in an in vitro adhesion
assay with mesothelial cells as most of the HA, and presumably the bound tumour cells, were lost from the mesothelial cells
during the washing steps of the assay. In order to try and clarify the situation, the adhesion of six ovarian tumour lines
to immobilized HA was measured. Four lines expressed high levels of CD44 and two lines expressed negligible amounts. Preliminary
experiments were carried out with one of the CD44-expressing lines. After coating a plate overnight with 3 mg ml-1 HA, the
5 min adhesion of this line varied between 2% and 73% according to the type of plate that was used. Falcon Micro Test III
flexible plates gave the highest adhesion and was used for further experiments. Plates were coated with concentrations of
HA between 0.001 mg ml−1 and 3 mg ml−1. All CD44 expressing lines adhered to HA, but the maximum adhesion and the adhesion
strength varied with the line studied and was not closely related to the total CD44 expression. These results suggest that
CD44 on ovarian tumour cells binds to HA on mesothelial cells. As much of the HA can be very easily lost from the mesothelial
cell surface, additional factors such as the strength of the CD44/HA interaction, and the formation of bonds by the tumour
cells with other membrane adhesion molecules, such as integrins, are also important in promoting tumour spread.
