Methyl-β-cyclodextrin Suppresses Hyaluronan Synthesis by Down-regulation of Hyaluronan Synthase 2 through Inhibition of Akt [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2010
Hyaluronan synthases (HAS1-3) are integral plasma membrane proteins that synthesize hyaluronan, a cell surface and extracellular matrix polysaccharide necessary for many biological processes. It has been shown that HAS is partly localized in cholesterol-rich lipid rafts of MCF-7 cells, and cholesterol depletion with methyl-beta-cyclodextrin (MbetaCD ...

Metabolic control of hyaluronan synthases [PDF]

, 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 ...

Effect of vasopressin on the expression of genes for key enzymes of interstitial hyaluronan turnover and concentration ability in WAG rat kidneys

Вавиловский журнал генетики и селекции, 2016
In mammals, arginine-vasopressin (AVP) is a major hormone involved in the regulation of renal water reabsorption, acting via an increase in the osmotic permeability of the collecting duct epithelium.

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.

Loss of Endothelial Glycocalyx Hyaluronan Impairs Endothelial Stability and Adaptive Vascular Remodeling after Arterial Ischemia

Cells, 2020
We recently reported that loss of hyaluronan (HA) from the endothelial glycocalyx leads to loss of vessel stability in specific microcirculatory vascular beds.

Dynamic interplay between breast cancer cells and normal endothelium mediates the expression of matrix macromolecules, proteasome activity and functional properties of endothelial cells [PDF]

, 2014
Background Breast cancer\u2013endothelium interactions provide regulatory signals facilitating tumor progression. The endothelial cells have so far been mainly viewed in the context of tumor perfusion and relatively little is known regarding the effects ...

Growth inhibition associated with disruption of the actin cytoskeleton by Latrunculin A in rhabdomyosarcoma cells.

PLoS ONE, 2020
Functional genomic screening of KRAS-driven mouse sarcomas was previously employed to identify proliferation-relevant genes. Genes identified included Ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2 (Ube2c), Centromere Protein E (Cenpe), Hyaluronan Synthase 2 (Has2 ...
