Hyaluronan-binding receptors: possible involvement in osteoarthritis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Our objectives were to compare the expression of the hyaluronan receptors CD44 and RHAMM in knee synovial tissue of patients with and without advanced osteoarthritis (OA). Both receptors were detected immunohistochemically; the staining appeared more intense in the tissues from the patients with advanced OA. Expression of CD44 and RHAMM were each significantly increased (p < 0.05) in synovial tissue from patients with OA, as determined by means of Western-blot analysis. The findings suggested that changes in levels of the HA-binding proteins might be implicated in the development or progression of OA.

Bioactive hyaluronan fragment (hexasaccharide) detects specific hexa-binding proteins in human breast and stomach cancer: possible role in tumorogenesis.
Hyaluronan (HA) is a component of extracellular matrix that influences cell-proliferation, migration, development, regeneration, normal tissue remodeling, tissues undergoing malignancy and tumor cell interaction. The widespread occurrence of HA binding proteins, their involvement in tissue organization and the control of cellular behavior are well documented. The low molecular mass HA fragments...
متن کاملHyaluronan suppresses IL-1beta-induced metalloproteinase activity from synovial tissue.
Intraarticular injection of hyaluronan (viscosupplementation) is commonly used to treat knee pain from osteoarthritis. The therapeutic benefit might derive from hyaluronan inhibition of the activity of the cytokine-regulated catabolic enzymes that attack joint cartilage (matrix metalloproteinases). We tested the hypothesis that hyaluronan inhibited interleukin-1beta-induced matrix metalloprotei...
متن کاملHyaluronan receptors are expressed on human malignant mesothelioma cells but not on normal mesothelial cells.
Hyaluronan-binding sites were demonstrated on the cell surface of three malignant mesothelioma cell lines derived from human tumors using either [3H]hyaluronan or fluorescein-tagged hyaluronan. No hyaluronan-binding activity was observed on normal human mesothelial cells. The absence of hyaluronan receptors on normal human mesothelial cells was not due to a down-regulation by endogenously synth...
متن کاملDetection of Circulating Autoantibodies to Ha-receptors in Human Lung Cancer
Identification of circulating autoantibodies to hyaluronan-receptors in lung cancer holds great promise and these HA-receptors might be a potential biomarker, but remains technically challenging. Interaction and involvement of hyaluronan with specific cell surface receptors such as CD44, RHAMM and with intracellular HABP in modulating cellular behavior has been predicted. In the present study, ...

OBJECTIVE To determine if a single time point estimation of chondroitin sulphate (CS) or keratan sulphate (KS) epitopes, hyaluronan (HA), or total glycosaminoglycans (GAG) in knee synovial fluid at time of hospital referral can predict subsequent radiographic progression of knee osteoarthritis. METHODS Two groups of hospital referred patients with knee osteoarthritis were compared: (1) a "pro...
