Self-regenerating giant hyaluronan polymer brushes

Nature Communications, 2019
Polymer brushes are often used to functionalise surfaces. Here, the authors report on the creation of high-density, regenerating hyaluronan brushes using hyaluronan synthase enzymes which can be patterned by photo-deactivation and demonstrate ...

ΔNp63-mediated regulation of hyaluronic acid metabolism and signaling supports HNSCC tumorigenesis [PDF]

, 2017
Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is the sixth most common cancer worldwide, and several molecular pathways that underlie the molecular tumorigenesis of HNSCC have been identified. Among them, amplification or overexpression of ΔNp63 isoforms

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 ...

Effect of diclofenac etalhyaluronate (SI-613) on the production of high molecular weight sodium hyaluronate in human synoviocytes

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2019
Background We have reported that a single intra-articular injection of diclofenac etalhyaluronate (SI-613) exerted a potent and long-lasting analgesic effect in experimental arthritis models.

HAS2-Ezrin-ER axis plays a role in acquired antiestrogen resistance of ER-positive breast cancer

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2022
The development of endocrine resistance is a major clinical problem in estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer (BrCa) treatment, in which how cancer cells acquire resistance remains obscure.

Immunohistochemical Analysis of IL-1 Receptor 1 In the Discs of Patients with Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction [PDF]

, 2018
Objective Temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMD) may affect a patient’s quality of life, and one of the etiologies can be anterior disc displacement with reduction (ADDwR) and anterior disc displacement without reduction (ADDWoR).

Hyaluronan: Biosynthesis and signaling [PDF]

, 2014
Background Hyaluronan is a critical component of extracellular matrix with several different roles. Besides the contribution to the tissue hydration, mechanical properties and correct architecture, hyaluronan plays important biological functions ...

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.

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.

Reaction of superoxide radicals with glycosaminoglycan chloramides: a kinetic study. [PDF]

, 2013
Hypochlorous acid and its acid-base counterpart, hypochlorite ions, produced under inflammatory conditions, may produce chloramides of glycosaminoglycans, perhaps through the binding of myeloperoxidase directly to the glycosaminoglycans.
