TGF-β1 upregulates the expression of hyaluronan synthase 2 and hyaluronan synthesis in culture models of equine articular chondrocytes. [PDF]

J Vet Sci, 2018
We investigated the effect of transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β1) on equine hyaluronan synthase 2 (HAS2) gene expression and hyaluronan (HA) synthesis in culture models of articular chondrocytes. Equine chondrocytes were treated with TGF-β1 at different concentrations and times in monolayer cultures.

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 ...

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 ...

Connective tissue growth factor mediates bone morphogenetic protein 2-induced increase in hyaluronan production in luteinized human granulosa cells

Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology, 2022
Background Hyaluronan is the main component of the cumulus-oocyte complex (COC) matrix, and it maintains the basic structure of the COC during ovulation.

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

Natural Antisense mRNAs to Hyaluronan Synthase 2 Inhibit Hyaluronan Biosynthesis and Cell Proliferation [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2005
We report the identification of a natural antisense mRNA of hyaluronan synthase 2 that we have chosen to designate as HASNT (for HA synthase 2 antisense) in human and mouse. HASNT is transcribed from the opposite strand of the HAS2 gene locus and is represented by several independent expressed sequence tags in human.

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 ...

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.
