Fibroblast Has2 limits acute heart failure following myocardial infarction in male mice [PDF]
Changes to the extracellular matrix support acute wound healing following myocardial infarction. Fibroblasts regulate the composition of the extracellular matrix, in part, by secreting hyaluronan. Details surrounding the regulation, source, and impact of

Hyaluronic acid−CD44 signaling from decidual stromal cells orchestrates dNK1 differentiation and immune tolerance in early pregnancy [PDF]
IntroductionSpontaneous abortion (SA) is closely associated with immune homeostasis of decidual natural killer (dNK) cells at the maternal-fetal interface, yet how decidual stromal cells (DSCs) educate NK cells remains incompletely understood.

Helicobacter pylori activates histone lactylation to promote gastric cancer progression and immune evasion through the HAS2/c-MYC/PD-L1 axis [PDF]
Background Metabolic reprogramming and epigenetic alterations play important roles in driving tumor microenvironment (TME) remodeling and immune evasion in gastric cancer (GC). Histone lactylation links glycolytic metabolism to transcriptional regulation,

Small extracellular vesicles derived from hair follicle neural crest stem cells enhance perineurial cell proliferation and migration via the TGF-β/SMAD/HAS2 pathway [PDF]
Peripheral nerve defect repair is a complex process that involves multiple cell types; perineurial cells play a pivotal role. Hair follicle neural crest stem cells promote perineurial cell proliferation and migration via paracrine signaling; however ...

Increased SPHK1 and HAS2 Expressions Correlate to Poor Prognosis in Pancreatic Cancer [PDF]
Objective. SPHK1 and HAS2 have been reported to play important roles in tumorigenesis and development. However, their expression and prognostic value in pancreatic cancer (PC) remain unclear. This study is aimed at investigating the expression of SPHK1 and HAS2 on the prognosis of pancreatic cancer. Materials and Methods.

Natural Antisense Transcript for Hyaluronan Synthase 2 (HAS2-AS1) Induces Transcription of HAS2 via Protein O-GlcNAcylation [PDF]
Changes in the microenvironment organization within vascular walls are critical events in the pathogenesis of vascular pathologies, including atherosclerosis and restenosis. Hyaluronan (HA) accumulation into artery walls supports vessel thickening and is involved in many cardiocirculatory diseases.

Conserved miR-26b enhances ovarian granulosa cell apoptosis through HAS2-HA-CD44-Caspase-3 pathway by targeting HAS2 [PDF]
AbstractThe hyaluronan synthase 2 (HAS2)-hyaluronic acid (HA)-CD44-Caspase-3 pathway is involved in ovarian granulosa cell (GC) functions in mammals. HAS2 is a key enzyme required for HA synthesis and is the key factor in this pathway. However, the regulation of HAS2 and the HAS2-mediated pathway by microRNAs in GCs is poorly understood.
