Salicylate suppresses the oncogenic hyaluronan network in metastatic breast cancer cells

Matrix Biology Plus, 2020
The oncogenic role of hyaluronan in several aspects of tumor biology has been well established. Recent studies by us and others suggest that inhibition of hyaluronan synthesis could represent an emerging therapeutic approach with significant clinical ...

Hyaluronan and Hyaluronidase, which is better for embryo development? [PDF]

, 2016
Our aim was to examine size-specific effects of Hyaluronan (HA) on preimplantation embryo development. We investigated the effects of Hyalovet (HA, 500–750 kDa; the size produced by HA synthase-3, which is abundant in the oviduct), or HA treated with ...

Selective adhesion inhibition and hyaluronan envelope reduction of dermal tumor cells by cold plasma-activated medium

Cell Adhesion & Migration, 2023
The sensitivity to cold plasma is specific to tumor cells while leaving normal tissue cells unaffected. This is the desired challenge in cancer therapy. Therefore, the focus of this work was a comparative study concerning the plasma sensitivity of dermal

Synthesis of heparosan oligosaccharides by Pasteurella multocida PmHS2 single-action transferases [PDF]

, 2012
Pasteurella multocida heparosan synthase PmHS2 is a dual action glycosyltransferase that catalyzes the polymerization of heparosan polymers in a non-processive manner.

PP2B and ERK1/2 regulate hyaluronan synthesis of HT168 and WM35 human melanoma cell lines [PDF]

, 2015
Hyaluronan (HA) is the major glycosaminoglycan component of the extracellular matrix in either normal or malignant tissues and it may affect proliferation, motility and differentiation of various cell types.

Vulnerability to shear stress caused by altered peri-endothelial matrix is a key feature of Moyamoya disease

Scientific Reports, 2021
Moyamoya disease (MMD) is characterized by progressive bilateral stenotic changes in the terminal portion of the internal carotid arteries. Although RNF213 was identified as a susceptibility gene for MMD, the exact pathogenesis remains unknown ...

Hyaluronan Synthase 3 Regulates Hyaluronan Synthesis in Cultured Human Keratinocytes [PDF]

Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 2002
Three human hyaluronan synthase genes (HAS1, HAS2, and HAS3) have been cloned, but the functional differences between these HAS genes remains obscure. The purpose of this study was to examine which of the HAS genes are selectively regulated in epidermis.

SARS-CoV-2 RNA elements share human sequence identity and upregulate hyaluronan via NamiRNA-enhancer network

EBioMedicine, 2022
Summary: Background: Since late 2019, SARS-CoV-2 infection has resulted in COVID-19 accompanied by diverse clinical manifestations. However, the underlying mechanism of how SARS-CoV-2 interacts with host and develops multiple symptoms is largely ...

Quantitative continuous assay for hyaluronan synthase [PDF]

Analytical Biochemistry, 2007
A rapid, continuous, and convenient three-enzyme coupled UV absorption assay was developed to quantitate the glucuronic acid and N-acetylglucosamine transferase activities of hyaluronan synthase from Pasteurella multocida (PmHAS). Activity was measured by coupling the UDP produced from the PmHAS-catalyzed transfer of UDP-GlcNAc and UDP-GlcUA to a ...
