Modulation of Hyaluronan Synthesis by the Interaction between Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Osteoarthritic Chondrocytes

Stem Cells International, 2015
Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) are considered a good source for cellular therapy in cartilage repair. But, their potential to repair the extracellular matrix, in an osteoarthritic environment, is still controversial. In osteoarthritis (OA),

The Malignant Phenotype of Breast Cancer Cells Is Reduced by COX-2 Silencing

Neoplasia: An International Journal for Oncology Research, 2008
The cyclooxygenase (COX) pathway is currently targeted for therapeutic intervention in different cancers. We have previously shown that silencing of COX-2 in the poorly differentiated metastatic breast cell line MDA-MB-231 by RNA interference markedly ...

Has2 Regulates the Development of Ovalbumin-Induced Airway Remodeling and Steroid Insensitivity in Mice

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
HAS2 is a member of the gene family encoding the hyaluronan synthase 2, which can generate high-molecular-weight hyaluronan (HMW-HA). Our previous study identified HAS2 as a candidate gene for increased susceptibility to adult asthma.

Oocyte–cumulus cell interaction: a key factor in early embryo development

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The evaluation of oocyte competence is a fundamental step in achieving successful outcomes following assisted reproduction techniques (ART). At present, however, conventional oocyte maturation assessment is carried out by morphological observation, which is a subjective method that does not consider molecular features.

Assessing the hidden risks of non‐thermal processing: Ultrasound‐induced toxicity of cashew apple juice in a zebrafish model

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Background High‐intensity ultrasound is widely advocated for the preservation of liquid foods; however, the potential formation or release of toxic compounds during processing remains under‐investigated. This study evaluated the toxicological profile of cashew apple juice processed by high‐intensity ultrasound (1250, 1875, and 2500 W;L⁻¹ ...

Hyaluronic acid synthesis is required for zebrafish tail fin regeneration. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
Using genome-wide transcriptional profiling and whole-mount expression analyses of zebrafish larvae, we have identified hyaluronan synthase 3 (has3) as an upregulated gene during caudal fin regeneration. has3 expression is induced in the wound epithelium

Effects of Ferrostatin‐1 on Vocal Folds in Aging Rats

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Age‐related vocal fold degeneration is associated with oxidative stress, and ferroptosis may contribute to structural changes in aging vocal folds. In this aged rat model, intracordal injection of the antioxidant ferrostatin‐1 attenuated ferroptosis‐related changes and was associated with modulation of collagen accumulation, hyaluronic acid ...

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.

Hyaluronan Synthase 3 Null Mice Exhibit Decreased Intestinal Inflammation and Tissue Damage in the DSS-Induced Colitis Model

International Journal of Cell Biology, 2015
Hyaluronan (HA) overproduction is a hallmark of multiple inflammatory diseases, including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Hyaluronan can act as a leukocyte recruitment molecule and in the most common mouse model of intestinal inflammation, the ...

Heparan sulfate and glycomimetics: Advances in synthesis and biological applications for post‐stroke neurorepair

Neuroprotection, EarlyView.
ECM, extracellular matrix; BDNF, brain‐derived neuroptrophic factor; FGF, fibroblast growth factor; VEGF, vascular endothelial growth factor. Abstract Heparan sulfate, a structurally diverse glycosaminoglycan that is abundant in the central nervous system (CNS), orchestrates essential processes fundamental to neural plasticity, neurorepair, and ...
