The role of the multifaceted long non-coding RNAs: A nuclear-cytosolic interplay to regulate hyaluronan metabolism

Matrix Biology Plus, 2021
In the extracellular matrix (ECM), the glycosaminoglycan (GAG) hyaluronan (HA) has different physiological roles favouring hydration, elasticity and cell survival.

Metabolic control of hyaluronan synthases

Matrix Biology, 2014
Hyaluronan (HA) is a glycosaminoglycan composed by repeating units of D-glucuronic acid (GlcUA) and N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) that is ubiquitously present in the extracellular matrix (ECM) where it has a critical role in the physiology and pathology of several mammalian tissues.

Hyaluronan synthase in trabecular meshwork cells [PDF]

British Journal of Ophthalmology, 2003
Hyaluronan is present in the trabecular meshwork where it is involved in the pathophysiology of aqueous outflow environment. In this study, the expression and regulation of hyaluronan synthase (HAS), which is the enzyme synthesising hyaluronan, in trabecular meshwork cells were investigated.Cultured bovine trabecular meshwork cells (BTMCs) were used ...

HAS-1 genetic polymorphism in sporadic abdominal aortic aneurysm

Heart International, 2009
The hyaluronan synthase 1 (HAS-1) gene encodes a plasma membrane protein that synthesizes hyaluronan (HA), an extracellular matrix molecule. Accumulating evidence emphasizes the relevance of HA metabolism in an increasing number of processes of clinical ...

CD163+ macrophages restrain vascular calcification, promoting the development of high-risk plaque

JCI Insight, 2023
Vascular calcification (VC) is concomitant with atherosclerosis, yet it remains uncertain why rupture-prone high-risk plaques do not typically show extensive calcification.

Diagnostic usefulness of Hyaluronan & Hyaluronan Synthases-A Review [PDF]

International Journal of Multidisciplinary and Current Research, 2018
The first isolation of HA was in the year 1934, but research on HA and its clinical significance in health and disease started only in the year 1970. Both HA and HASs play a significant role in many physiological and pathological processes. The cellular HA synthesis are coordinated collectively by HASs.

Effect of red ginseng NaturalGEL on skin aging

Journal of Ginseng Research, 2020
Background: In aged skin, degradation of collagen fibers, which occupy the majority of the extracellular matrix in the dermis, and changes of aquaporin 3 (AQP3) and skin constituents, such as hyaluronic acid and ceramide, cause wrinkles and decrease skin

PEGPH20, a PEGylated human hyaluronidase, induces radiosensitization by reoxygenation in pancreatic cancer xenografts. A molecular imaging study

Neoplasia: An International Journal for Oncology Research, 2022
Purpose: PEGylated human hyaluronidase (PEGPH20) enzymatically depletes hyaluronan, an important component of the extracellular matrix, increasing the delivery of therapeutic molecules.

Kidney Hematopoietic Stem and Progenitor Cells Contribute to Myeloid Development and Pathology in Lupus Nephritis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective The hematopoietic system maintains homeostasis by balancing myeloid and lymphoid cell production in the bone marrow (BM). In response to increased hematopoietic demand, extramedullary hematopoiesis (EMH) may occur in nonlymphoid organs. We investigated the role of EMH and kidney‐resident hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) in ...
