Hyaluronan-oligosaccharide-induced transcription of metalloproteases.

چکیده
Activated dendritic epidermal Langerhans cells and metastatic tumour cells share many properties. Both cell types can invade the surrounding tissue, enter the lymphatic system and travel to regional lymph nodes. We have recently shown that fragments of the extracellular matrix component hyaluronan, which are typically produced at sites of inflammation, can activate dendritic cells. Upon activation, dendritic cells upregulate expression of matrix metalloproteases (MMPs). These observations prompted us to investigate whether exposure to hyaluronan fragments also induces MMP expression in tumour cells. Here, we report that MMP-9, MMP-13 and urokinase plasminogen activator are upregulated in murine 3LL tumour cells after exposure to mixed-size hyaluronan. Similarly upregulated MMP-9 and MMP-13 expression was observed in primary fibroblasts. By using size-fractionated hyaluronan preparations, we show that the enhanced expression of MMP-9 and MMP-13 is only induced by small hyaluronan (HA) fragments. Although our data suggest that HA-fragment-induced MMP-9 and MMP-13 expression is receptor mediated, they rule out an involvement of the hyaluronan receptors CD44, RHAMM/IHAP and TLR-4. Finally, we show that HA fragment-induced MMP-9 transcription is mediated via NF-kappa B. Our results suggest that the metastasis-associated HA degradation in tumours might promote invasion by inducing MMP expression.

Glycosylation Provides Both Stimulatory and Inhibitory Effects on Cell Surface and Soluble CD44 Binding to Hyaluronan
Glycosylation has been implicated in the regulation of CD44-mediated cell binding of hyaluronan (HA). However, neither the relative contribution of N- and O-linked glycans nor the oligosaccharide structures that alter CD44 affinity for HA have been elucidated. To determine the effect of selective alteration of CD44 oligosaccharide composition on the affinity of CD44 for HA, we developed a novel...

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of supplementation of different levels of peribiotic of mannan oligosaccharide (MOS) (Celmanax) on performance and some blood parameters of broiler chicks under induced ascites. 320 day-old Ross 308 male chicks were randomly divided into 4 treatments with 4 replicates. The dietary treatments included: positive control (corn – soybean m...
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 کاملInduction and regulation of macrophage metalloelastase by hyaluronan fragments in mouse macrophages.
Although the metalloproteinase murine metalloelastase (MME) has been implicated in lung disorders such as emphysema and pulmonary fibrosis, the mechanisms regulating MME expression are unclear. Low m.w. fragments of the extracellular matrix component hyaluronan (HA) that accumulate at sites of lung inflammation are capable of inducing inflammatory gene expression in macrophages (Mphi). The purp...
متن کاملStructural and functional evidence for two separate oligosaccharide binding sites of Pasteurella multocida hyaluronan synthase
Pasteurella multocida hyaluronan synthase (PmHAS) is a bi-functional glycosyltransferase, containing a β1,3-glucuronyltransferase and β1,4-N-acetylglucosaminetransferase domain. PmHAS catalyzes the elongation of hyaluronan (HA) through the sequential addition of single monosaccharides to the non-reducing end of the hyaluronan chain. Research is focused on the relation between the length of the ...
