Abstract
Collagen/hyaluronan hydrogels with physical properties well suited for biomedical applications are challenging to synthesize due to the formation of polyionic complexes (PICs). A systematic physicochemical study was thus performed to determine novel conditions to inhibit the formation of collagen/hyaluronan PICs and obtain composite hydrogels with high physical properties. Using a range of pH from 1 to 5.5 and the addition of NaCl, type I collagen and tyramine-substituted hyaluronic acid (THA) solutions were mixed and analyzed by cryo-scanning electron microscopy and ATR-FTIR. PIC formation was inhibited at pH 1 without salt and at pH 2.5 and 5.5 in the presence of 400 mM NaCl. Interestingly, collagen fibrils were observed in solution at pH 5.5 before mixing with THA. After collagen gelling by pH increase, a homogeneous hydrogel consisting of collagen fibrils was only observed when PICs were inhibited. Then, the THA gelling performed by photo-crosslinking increased the rheological properties by four when hydrogels were formed with collagen/THA mixtures at pH 1 or 5.5 with salt. Taken together, these results show that a pH of 5.5, close to the collagen isoelectric point, enables the formation of collagen fibrils in solution, inhibits the PICs formation, and allows the formation of homogenous collagen/THA composite hydrogels compatible with cell survival.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE While HA is present naturally in periodontal tissues, its molecular weight can vary widely in vivo. The objective of this study was to directly compare the biological reactions of periodontal ligament cells to four distinct molecular weights of hyaluronic acid (HA). MATERIALS AND METHODS Immortalized human periodontal ligament cells (PDL-hTERT) were cultured for 21 days in culture medium alone (control) or enriched with osteogenic supplements (OS group). Other 4 experimental groups were cultured in OS medium with the addition of HA with different molecular weights (HMW, MMW, LMW, and ULMW). The cell morphology was examined daily. WST1 assays were performed to evaluate metabolic activity. Von Kossa staining and calcium deposition assay were used to analyze osteogenic differentiation and mineralization. RESULTS Cell morphology remained unaltered in all groups. Cells stimulated with OS alone or with the addition of hyaluronan showed all the typical microscopic appearance of osteogenic differentiation. Metabolic activity increased in all groups over time. Hyaluronan stimulated greater metabolic activity than the control group, with LMW HA and MMW HA showing the most significant increase. All groups showed mineral deposits and calcium deposition after 21 days of stimulation. CONCLUSION Our results suggest that hyaluronan can promote metabolic activity and mineralization of PDL-hTERT cells, with LMW HA being the most effective. CLINICAL RELEVANCE These results shed light on how the various molecular weight fractions of HA promote tissue regeneration and repair, as well as help to identify an optimal molecular weight range for this application in periodontal tissues.

Abstract
HYBID is a new hyaluronan-degrading enzyme and exists in various cells of the human body. Recently, HYBID was found to over-express in the osteoarthritic chondrocytes and fibroblast-like synoviocytes. According to these researches, high level of HYBID is significantly correlated with cartilage degeneration in joints and hyaluronic acid degradation in synovial fluid. In addition, HYBID can affect inflammatory cytokine secretion, cartilage and synovium fibrosis, synovial hyperplasia via multiple signaling pathways, thereby exacerbating osteoarthritis. Based on the existing research of HYBID in osteoarthritis, HYBID can break the metabolic balance of HA in joints through the degradation ability independent of HYALs/CD44 system and furthermore affect cartilage structure and mechanotransduction of chondrocytes. In particular, in addition to HYBID itself being able to trigger some signaling pathways, we believe that low-molecular-weight hyaluronan produced by excess degradation can also stimulate some disease-promoting signaling pathways by replacing high-molecular-weight hyaluronan in joints. The specific role of HYBID in osteoarthritis is gradually revealed, and the discovery of HYBID raises the new way to treat osteoarthritis. In this review, the expression and basic functions of HYBID in joints were summarized, and reveal potential role of HYBID as a key target in treatment for osteoarthritis.

Abstract
The endothelial glycocalyx (EG) is a gel-like structure that forms a layer in between the surface of the endothelium and lumen. EG was once thought to be merely a structural support for the endothelium. However, in recent years, the importance of EG as a first line of defense and a key regulator to endothelial integrity has been illuminated. With advanced age, EG deterioration becomes more noticeable and at least partially associated with endothelial dysfunction. Hyaluronan (HA), one of the critical components of the EG, has distinct properties and roles to the maintenance of EG and endothelial function. Therefore, given the intimate relationship between the EG and endothelium during the aging process, HA may serve as a promising therapeutic target to prevent endothelial dysfunction.

Abstract
Polysaccharides can be elite carriers for therapeutic molecules due to their versatility and low probability to trigger toxicity and immunogenic responses. Local and systemic therapies can be achieved through particle pulmonary delivery, a promising non-invasive alternative. Successful pulmonary delivery requires particles with appropriate flowability to reach alveoli and avoid premature clearance mechanisms. Polysaccharides can form micro-, nano-in-micro-, and large porous particles, aerogels, and hydrogels. Herein, the characteristics of polysaccharides used in drug formulations for pulmonary delivery are reviewed, providing insights into structure-function relationships. Charged polysaccharides can confer mucoadhesion, whereas the ability for specific sugar recognition may confer targeting capacity for alveolar macrophages. The method of particle preparation must be chosen considering the properties of the components and the delivery device to be utilized. The fate of polysaccharide-based carriers is dependent on enzyme-triggered hydrolytic and/or oxidative mechanisms, allowing their complete degradation and elimination through urine or reutilization of released monosaccharides.

Abstract
Formation of peritoneal adhesions (PA) is one of the major complications following intra-abdominal surgery. It is primarily caused by activation of the mesothelial layer and underlying tissues in the peritoneal membrane resulting in the transition of mesothelial cells (MCs) and fibroblasts to a pro-fibrotic phenotype. Pro-fibrotic transition of MCs—mesothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (MMT), and fibroblasts activation to myofibroblasts are interconnected to changes in cellular metabolism and culminate in the deposition of extracellular matrix (ECM) in the form of fibrotic tissue between injured sides in the abdominal cavity. However, ECM is not only a mechanical scaffold of the newly synthetized tissue but reciprocally affects fibrosis development. Hyaluronan (HA), an important component of ECM, is a non-sulfated glycosaminoglycan consisting of N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (GlcNAc) and D-glucuronic acid (GlcUA) that can affect the majority of processes involved in PA formation. This review considers the role of endogenously produced HA in the context of different fibrosis-related pathologies and its overlap in the development of PA.

Abstract
Photoaged skin exhibits signs of inflammation, DNA damage and changes in morphology that are visible at the macroscopic and microscopic levels. Photoaging also affects the extracellular matrix (ECM) including hyaluronan (HA), the main polysaccharide component thereof. HA is a structurally simple but biologically complex molecule that serves as a water-retaining component and provides both a scaffold for a number of the proteins of the ECM and the ligand for cellular receptors. The study provides an overview of the literature concerning the changes in HA amount, size and metabolism, and the potential role of HA in photoaging. We also suggest novel HA contributions to photoaging based on our knowledge of the role of HA in other pathological processes, including the senescence and inflammation-triggered ECM reorganization. Moreover, we discuss potential direct or indirect intervention to mitigate photoaging that targets the hyaluronan metabolism, as well as supplementation.

Abstract
Roots are prominent plant-microbe interaction sites and of great biological relevance for many studies. The root response is of interest when searching for potential systemic resistance inducers. Screening of elicitors often focuses on the oxidative burst, the rapid and transient production of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS). However, to our knowledge, no high-throughput, sensitive methods have been developed for the quantification of ROS released by roots. Here, we report on the development of an L-012-based chemiluminescence bioassay to quantitatively determine the oxidative burst following elicitation events in roots. Rice and grapevine were used as monocot and dicot models. We demonstrate that chitosan, a recognized elicitor in rice cells, was able to elicit ROS production in rice roots. Chitosan also triggered a strong oxidative burst in grapevine cell suspension cultures, while grapevine roots were not responsive. Although this method is broadly applicable, the L-012 probe requires careful consideration of solvents and plant species. Insufficient extracellular ROS, quenching, and the interference of solvents with the probe can undermine the assay sensitivity.

Abstract
Systemic sclerosis a chronic, fibrotic disorder associated with high disease-specific mortality and morbidity. Cutaneous manifestations include dermal thickening and obliteration of dermal adipose tissue. Accumulation of low-molecular-weight hyaluronan, which signals through the receptor for hyaluronan-mediated motility, RHAMM, leads to progressive fibrosis and is correlated with increased severity of systemic sclerosis. The purpose of this study is to test the efficacy of two function-blocking RHAMM peptides, NPI-110 and NPI-106, in reducing skin fibrosis in a bleomycin-induced mouse model of systemic sclerosis. NPI-110 reduced visible measures of fibrosis (dermal thickness and collagen production, deposition, and organization) and profibrotic gene expression (Tgfb1, c-Myc, Col1a1, Col3a1). NPI-110 treatment also increased the expression of the antifibrotic adipokines perilipin and adiponectin. Both RHAMM peptides strongly reduced dermal RHAMM expression, predicting that dermal fibroblasts are peptide targets. Transcriptome and cell culture analyses using Rhamm-/- and Rhamm-rescued dermal fibroblasts reveal a TGFβ1/RHAMM/MYC signaling axis that promotes fibrogenic gene expression and myofibroblast differentiation. RHAMM function‒blocking peptides suppress this signaling and prevent TGFβ1-induced myofibroblast differentiation. These results suggest that inhibiting RHAMM signaling will offer a treatment method for cutaneous fibrosis in systemic sclerosis.

Abstract
The endothelial glycocalyx is critically involved in vascular integrity and homeostasis, by regulating vascular permeability, regulating mechanotransduction, and reducing inflammation and coagulation. The turnover of the glycocalyx is dynamic to fine-tune these processes. This is in particular true for its main structural component, hyaluronan (HA). Degradation and shedding of the glycocalyx by enzymes, such as hyaluronidase 1 and hyaluronidase 2, are responsible for regulation of the glycocalyx thickness and hence access of circulating cells and factors to the endothelial cell membrane and its receptors. This degradation process will at the same time also allow for resynthesis and adaptive chemical modification of the glycocalyx. The (re)synthesis of HA is dependent on the availability of its sugar substrates, thus linking glycocalyx biology directly to cellular glucose metabolism. It is therefore of particular interest to consider the consequences of dysregulated cellular glucose in diabetes for glycocalyx biology and its implications for endothelial function. This review summarizes the metabolic regulation of endothelial glycocalyx HA and its potential as a therapeutic target in diabetic vascular complications.

Abstract
Nanocarriers (NCs) are a type of drug delivery system commonly used to regulate the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of drugs. Although a wide variety of NCs has been developed, relatively few have been registered for clinical trials and even fewer are clinically approved. Overt or potential toxicity, indistinct mechanisms of drug release and unsatisfactory pharmacokinetic behavior all contribute to their high failure rate during preclinical and clinical testing. These negative characteristics are not only due to the NCs themselves but also to the materials of the drug nanocarrier system (MDNS) that are released in vivo. In this article, we review the main analytical techniques used for bioassay of NCs and MDNS and their pharmacokinetics after administration by various routes. We anticipate our review will serve to improve the understanding of MDNS pharmacokinetics and facilitate the development of NC drug delivery systems.

Abstract
Lower back pain, the leading cause of workplace absences and disability, is often attributed to intervertebral disc degeneration, in which nucleus pulposus (NP) herniates through lesions in the annulus fibrosus (AF) and impinges on the spinal cord and surrounding nerves. Surgeons remove extruded NP via discectomy when indicated by local/radicular pain supported by radiographic evidence; however, current interventions do not alter the underlying disease or seal the AF. The reported rates of recurrent herniation or pain following discectomy cases range from 5% to 25%, which has pushed spine research in recent years toward annular repair and closure strategies. Synthetic implants designed to mechanically seal the AF have been subject to large animal and clinical trials, with limited success in preventing recurrent herniation. Like gold standard interventions, purely mechanical devices fail to promote tissue integration, long-term healing, or restore native biomechanical function to the spine. Biological repair strategies utilizing principles of tissue engineering have demonstrated success in overcoming the inadequacies of current interventions and mechanical implants, yet, none has reached clinical or proof-of-concept trials in humans. In this review, we will discuss annular repair strategies promoting biological healing that have been implemented in small and large animal models in vivo, and ways to enhance the efficacy of these treatments.

Abstract
Hyaluronic acid (HA) has been a treatment modality for patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA) for many years now. Since HA was first introduced for the treatment of painful knee OA, much has been elucidated regarding both the etiology of this disease and the mechanisms by which HA may mitigate joint pain and tissue destruction. The objectives of this article are to (1) describe the etiology and pathophysiology of OA including both what is known about the genetics and biochemistry, (2) describe the role of HA on disease progression, (3) detail the antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory actions of HA in OA, and (4) present evidence of disease-modifying effects of HA in the preservation and restoration of the extracellular matrix. These data support that HA is not only just a simple device used for viscosupplementation but also a biologically active molecule that can affect the physiology of articular cartilage.

Abstract
The role of hyaluronan (HA) oligosaccharides in disc cell-mediated matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) and anabolic gene expression in vitro and annular repair in vivo were examined. Monolayer and alginate bead cultures of ovine intervertebral disc cells were stimulated with 10-12 mer hyaluronan oligosaccharides (HA-oligos). Annulus fibrosus (AF) monolayers were poorly responsive to the HA-oligos, proMMP-2 levels were marginally elevated and levels were MMP-9 unaffected. ProMMP-2 displayed a strong dose-dependent increase in the nucleus pulposus (NP) monolayers. In AF alginate bead cultures, proMMP-2 and active MMP-9 increased up to day 10, in NP cultures proMMP-2 was progressively converted to active MMP-2 over days 7-10 and active MMP-9 levels were elevated on day 10. A steady decline in MMP-2 and MMP-9 activity was evident over days 2-10 in the non-stimulated NP cultures. Disc cell viabilities were ≥92 ± 5% in all cultures indicating that the HA-oligo was not cytotoxic. Reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction demonstrated an upregulation in MMP1, MMP113 and ADAMTS1 and the anabolic matrix repair genes ACAN, COL1A1 and COL2A1 in the NP by HA-oligos, whereas AF MMP13, ADAMTS1, ADAMTS4 and ADAMTS5, ACAN and COL2A1 were down-regulated; this differential regulation is expected to promote clearance of granulation/scar tissue from AF defects and matrix replenishment. The AF defect sites contained enlarged annular lamellae in vivo in response to the HA oligos, which is consistent with an active repair response. Masson trichrome and PicroSirius red histology and immunolocalization of type I collagen supported active remodelling in the outer lesion zone by the HA-oligo treatment but not the inner lesion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Many fruits soften during ripening, which is important commercially and in rendering the fruit attractive to seed-dispersing animals. Cell-wall polysaccharide hydrolases may contribute to softening, but sometimes appear to be absent. An alternative hypothesis is that hydroxyl radicals ((•)OH) non-enzymically cleave wall polysaccharides. We evaluated this hypothesis by using a new fluorescent labelling procedure to 'fingerprint' (•)OH-attacked polysaccharides. METHODS We tagged fruit polysaccharides with 2-(isopropylamino)-acridone (pAMAC) groups to detect (a) any mid-chain glycosulose residues formed in vivo during (•)OH action and (b) the conventional reducing termini. The pAMAC-labelled pectins were digested with Driselase, and the products resolved by high-voltage electrophoresis and high-pressure liquid chromatography. KEY RESULTS Strawberry, pear, mango, banana, apple, avocado, Arbutus unedo, plum and nectarine pectins all yielded several pAMAC-labelled products. GalA-pAMAC (monomeric galacturonate, labelled with pAMAC at carbon-1) was produced in all species, usually increasing during fruit softening. The six true fruits also gave pAMAC·UA-GalA disaccharides (where pAMAC·UA is an unspecified uronate, labelled at a position other than carbon-1), with yields increasing during softening. Among false fruits, apple and strawberry gave little pAMAC·UA-GalA; pear produced it transiently. CONCLUSIONS GalA-pAMAC arises from pectic reducing termini, formed by any of three proposed chain-cleaving agents ((•)OH, endopolygalacturonase and pectate lyase), any of which could cause its ripening-related increase. In contrast, pAMAC·UA-GalA conjugates are diagnostic of mid-chain oxidation of pectins by (•)OH. The evidence shows that (•)OH radicals do indeed attack fruit cell wall polysaccharides non-enzymically during softening in vivo. This applies much more prominently to drupes and berries (true fruits) than to false fruits (swollen receptacles). (•)OH radical attack on polysaccharides is thus predominantly a feature of ovary-wall tissue.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A screening method for elicitor and priming agents does not only allow detecting new bioactive substances, it can also be used to understand structure-function relationships of known agents by testing different derivatives of them. This can not only provide new lead compounds for the development of novel, more environment-benign, bio-based agro-chemicals, it may eventually also lead to a better understanding of defense mechanisms in plants. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are sensitive indicators of these mechanisms but current assay formats are not suitable for multiplex screening, in particularly not in the case of monocot systems. RESULTS Here we describe continuous monitoring of ROS in 96-well microtiter plates using the chemiluminescent probe L012, a luminol derivative producing chemiluminescence when oxidised by ROS like hydrogen peroxide, superoxide, or hydroxyl radical that can thus be used as an indicator for these ROS. We were able to measure ROS in both monocot (Oryza sativa) and dicot (Medicago truncatula) cell suspension cultures and record dose dependencies for the carbohydrate elicitors and priming agents ulvan and chitosan at low substrate concentrations (0.3-2.5 µg/ml). The method was optimized in terms of cell density, L012 concentration, and pre-incubation time. In contrast to the single peak observed using a cuvette luminometer, the improved method revealed a double burst in both cell systems during the 90-min measuring period, probably due to the detection of multiple ROS rather than only H2O2. CONCLUSION We provide a medium throughput screening method for monocot and dicot suspension-cultured cells that enables direct comparison of monocot and dicot plant systems regarding their reaction to different signaling molecules.

Synergistic antibacterial effects of localized heat and oxidative stress caused by hydroxyl radicals mediated by graphene/iron oxide-based nanocomposites. NANOMEDICINE-NANOTECHNOLOGY BIOLOGY AND MEDICINE 2015; 12:431-8.

Abstract
UNLABELLED This work develops a composite system of reduced graphene oxide (rGO)-iron oxide nanoparticles (rGO-IONP) that can synergistically induce physical and chemical damage to methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) that are present in subcutaneous abscesses. rGO-IONP was synthesized by the chemical deposition of Fe(2+)/Fe(3+) ions on nanosheets of rGO in aqueous ammonia. The antibacterial efficacy of the as-prepared rGO-IONP was evaluated in a mouse model with MRSA-infected subcutaneous abscesses. Upon exposure to a near-infrared laser in vitro, rGO-IONP synergistically generated localized heat and large amounts of hydroxyl radicals, which inactivated MRSA. The in vivo results reveal that combined treatment with localized heat and oxidative stress that is caused by hydroxyl radicals accelerated the healing of wounds associated with MRSA-infected abscesses. The above results demonstrate that an rGO-IONP nanocomposite system that can effectively inactivate multiple-drug-resistant bacteria in subcutaneous infections was successfully developed. FROM THE CLINICAL EDITOR The emergence of methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) has posed a significant problem in the clinical setting. Thus, it is imperative to develop new treatment strategies against this. In this study, the authors described the use of reduced graphene oxide (rGO)-iron oxide nanoparticles (rGO-IONP) to induce heat and chemical damage to MRSA. This approach may provide a platform the design of other treatment modalities against multiple-drug-resistant bacteria.

Abstract
Oxidative stress in the arthritis joint is involved in generating mediators for inflammation. Oxidative stress-induced expression of Cox-2 was mediated by MAPKs and NF-κB. ROS-induced MAPKs and NF-κB were attenuated by inhibition of MAPKKK TAK1. Inhibition of TAK1 activity resulted in reduced expression of Cox-2 and PGE2. ROS-induced TAK1 activation and Cox-2 expression was inhibited by antioxidants N-acetyl cysteamine and hyaluronic acid.
Oxidative stress within the arthritis joint has been indicated to be involved in generating mediators for tissue degeneration and inflammation. COX-2 is a mediator in inflammatory action, pain and some catabolic reactions in inflamed tissues. Here, we demonstrated a direct relationship between oxidative stress and Cox-2 expression in the bovine synovial fibroblasts. Furthermore, we elucidated a novel mechanism, in which oxidative stress induced phosphorylation of MAPKs and NF-κB through TAK1 activation and resulted in increased Cox-2 and prostaglandin E2 expression. Finally, we demonstrated that ROS-induced Cox-2 expression was inhibited by supplementation of an antioxidant such as N-acetyl cysteamine and hyaluronic acid in vitro and in vivo. From these results, we conclude that oxidative stress is an important factor for generation of Cox-2 in synovial fibroblasts and thus its neutralization may be an effective strategy in palliative therapy for chronic joint diseases.

Abstract
One important pharmacological function of hyaluronic acid (HA) in chondrocytes is reduction of cellular superoxide generation and accumulation. Here we demonstrated a relationship between HA supplementation and accumulation of Nuclear factor-erythroid-2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), which is a master transcription factor in cellular redox reactions, in cultured chondrocytes derived from bovine joint cartilage. In HA-treated chondrocytes, expression of Nrf2 and its downstream genes was upregulated. In HA-treated chondrocytes, Akt was phosphorylated, and inhibition of Akt activity or suppression of HA receptors CD44 and/or RHAMM with siRNAs prevented HA-mediated Nrf2 accumulation. Furthermore, Nrf2 siRNA inhibited the HA effect on antioxidant enzymes. These results show that HA might contribute to ROS reduction through Nrf2 regulation by activating Akt. Our study suggests a new mechanism for extracellular matrix (ECM)-mediated redox systems in chondrocytes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tendinopathy is the most common tendon disorder. The etiology is still uncertain, and the disorder poses many therapeutic problems. In a few clinical studies, analgesic effects of high molecular weight hyaluronan (HMW HA) injections were observed, but the underlying mechanisms were not elucidated. In the present study, we analyzed the therapeutic effects of hyaluronan injections for tendinopathy in an animal model. METHODS We made the tendinopathy rat model using a rodent treadmill machine. Rats with tendinopathy were injected with HMW HA (HA group), normal saline (NS group), or nothing (control group) into the space between the patellar tendon and the fat pad bilaterally, or were injected with HMW HA into the right knees and with saline to the left knees (HA/NS group), 5 times every 4 days. To assess the pain-relieving effect of HA, the spontaneous locomotor activities at night (12 h) and weight bearing of hind paws were measured every day. Histological sections of the patellar tendon stained with hematoxylin-eosin or prepared by TdT-mediated dUTP nick end labeling were microscopically analyzed. RESULTS The number of spontaneous locomotor activities in the HA group was significantly larger than those in NS or control groups, and in the HA group they recovered up to a healthy level. The percent weight distribution of the right hind paws was significantly increased along with the number of injections. On histologic examinations, the numbers of microtears, laminations, or apoptotic cells in the patellar tendons in the HA group were significantly lower than those in the NS or the control groups. CONCLUSIONS The injections of HMW HA were effective for pain relief and for partial restoration of the patellar tendon in our tendinopathy rat model, and thus may become an effective therapeutic modality for the disease.

Abstract
Hyaluronic acid is a constituent of the skin and helps to maintain hydration. The oral intake of hyaluronic acid increases water in the horny layer as demonstrated by human trials, but in vivo kinetics has not been shown. This study confirmed the absorption, migration, and excretion of 14C-labeled hyaluronic acid (14C-hyaluronic acid). 14C-hyaluronic acid was orally or intravenously administered to male SD rats aged 7 to 8 weeks. Plasma radioactivity after oral administration showed the highest level 8 hours after administration, and orally administered 14C-hyaluronic acid was found in the blood. Approximately 90% of 14C-hyaluronic acid was absorbed from the digestive tract and used as an energy source or a structural constituent of tissues based on tests of the urine, feces, expired air, and cadaver up to 168 hours (one week) after administration. The autoradiographic results suggested that radioactivity was distributed systematically and then reduced over time. The radioactivity was higher in the skin than in the blood at 24 and 96 hours after administration. The results show the possibility that orally administered hyaluronic acid migrated into the skin. No excessive accumulation was observed and more than 90% of the hyaluronic acid was excreted in expired air or urine.

Abstract
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) triggers many secondary changes in tissue biology, which ultimately determine the extent of injury and clinical outcome. Hyaluronan [hyaluronic acid (HA)] is a protective cementing gel present in the intercellular spaces whose degradation has been reported as a causative factor in tissue damage. Yet little is known about the expression and activities of genes involved in HA catabolism after TBI. Young adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were assigned to three groups: naïve control, craniotomy, and controlled-cortical impact-induced TBI (CCI-TBI). Four animals per group were sacrificed at 4 h, 1, 3, and 7 days post-CCI. The mRNA expression of hyaluronan synthases (HAS1-3), hyaluronidases (enzymes for HA degradation, HYAL 1–4, and PH20), and CD44 and RHAMM (membrane receptors for HA signaling and removal) were determined using real-time PCR. Compared to the naïve controls, expression of HAS1 and HAS2 mRNA, but not HAS3 mRNA increased significantly following craniotomy alone and following CCI with differential kinetics. Expression of HAS2 mRNA increased significantly in the ipsilateral brain at 1 and 3 days post-CCI. HYAL1 mRNA expression also increased significantly in the craniotomy group and in the contralateral CCI at 1 and 3 days post-CCI. CD44 mRNA expression increased significantly in the ipsilateral CCI at 4 h, 1, 3, and 7 days post-CCI (up to 25-fold increase). These data suggest a dynamic regulation and role for HA metabolism in secondary responses to TBI.

Abstract
SIGNIFICANCE Inflammatory diseases (such as arthritis) of the extracellular matrix (ECM) are of considerable socioeconomic significance. There is clear evidence that reactive oxygen species (ROS) and nitrogen species released by, for instance, neutrophils contribute to the degradation of the ECM. Here we will focus on the ROS-induced degradation of the glycosaminoglycans, one important component of the ECM. RECENT ADVANCES The recently developed "anti-TNF-α" therapy is primarily directed against neutrophilic granulocytes that are powerful sources of ROS. Therefore, a more detailed look into the mechanisms of the reactions of these ROS is reasonable. CRITICAL ISSUES Since both enzymes and ROS contribute to the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases, it is very difficult to estimate the contributions of the individual species in a complex biological environment. This particularly applies as many products are not stable but only transient products that decompose in a time-dependent manner. Thus, the development of suitable analytical methods as well as the establishment of useful biomarkers is a challenging aspect. FUTURE DIRECTIONS If the mechanisms of ECM destruction are understood in more detail, then the development of suitable drugs to treat inflammatory diseases will be hopefully much more successful.

Determination of the presence of hyaluronic acid in preparations containing amino acids: the molecular weight characterization. Eur J Pharm Sci 2014; 63:199-203. [PMID: 25078662 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejps.2014.07.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/17/2014] [Revised: 07/02/2014] [Accepted: 07/19/2014] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
Several pharmaceutical preparations contain hyaluronic acid in the presence of a large variety of low molecular weight charged molecules like amino acids. In these mixtures, it is particularly difficult to determine the concentration and the molecular weight of the hyaluronic acid fragments. In fact zwitterionic compounds in high concentration behave by masking the hyaluronic acid due to the electrostatic interactions between amino acids and hyaluronic acid. In such conditions the common colorimetric test of the hyaluronic acid determination appears ineffective and in the (1)H NMR spectra the peaks of the polymer disappear completely. By a simple separation procedure the presence of hyaluronic acid was revealed by the DMAB test and (1)H NMR while its average molecular weight in the final product was determined by DOSY NMR spectroscopy alone. The latter determination is very important due to the healthy effects of some sizes of this polymer's fragments.

Abstract
Hyaluronan (HA), a major component of the extracellular matrix (ECM), plays a key role in regulating inflammation. Inflammation is associated with accumulation and turnover of HA polymers by multiple cell types. Increasingly through the years, HA has become recognized as an active participant in inflammatory, angiogenic, fibrotic, and cancer promoting processes. HA and its binding proteins regulate the expression of inflammatory genes, the recruitment of inflammatory cells, the release of inflammatory cytokines, and can attenuate the course of inflammation, providing protection against tissue damage. A growing body of evidence suggests the cell responses are HA molecular weight dependent. HA fragments generated by multiple mechanisms throughout the course of inflammatory pathologies, elicit cellular responses distinct from intact HA. This review focuses on the role of HA in the promotion and resolution of inflammation.

Autophagic vacuolation induced by excess ROS generation in HABP1/p32/gC1qR overexpressing fibroblasts and its reversal by polymeric hyaluronan. PLoS One 2013; 8:e78131.

Abstract
The ubiquitous hyaladherin, hyaluronan-binding protein 1 (HABP1/p32/gC1qR) upon stable overexpression in normal fibroblasts (F-HABP07) has been reported to induce mitochondrial dysfunction, growth retardation and apoptosis after 72 h of growth. HABP1 has been observed to accumulate in the mitochondria resulting in generation of excess Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), mitochondrial Ca++ efflux and drop in mitochondrial membrane potential. In the present study, autophagic vacuolation was detected with monodansylcadaverin (MDC) staining from 36 h to 60 h of culture period along with elevated level of ROS in F-HABP07 cells. Increased expression of autophagic markers like MAP-LC3-II, Beclin 1 and autophagic modulator, DRAM confirmed the occurrence of the phenomenon. Reduced vacuole formation was observed upon treatment with 3-MA, a known PI3 kinase inhibitor, only at 32 h and was ineffective if treated later, as high ROS level was already attained. Treatment of F111 and F-HABP07 cells with bafilomycin A1 further indicated an increase in autophagosome formation along with autophagic degradation in HABP1 overexpressed fibroblasts. Comparison between normal fibroblast (F111) and F-HABP07 cells indicate reduced level of polymeric HA, its depolymerization and perturbed HA-HABP1 interaction in F-HABP07. Interestingly, supplementation of polymeric HA, an endogenous ROS scavenger, in the culture medium prompted reduction in number of vacuoles in F-HABP07 along with drop in ROS level, implying that excess ROS generation triggers initiation of autophagic vacuole formation prior to apoptosis due to overexpression of HABP1. Thus, the phenomenon of autophagy takes place prior to apoptosis induction in the HABP1 overexpressing cell line, F-HABP07.

Abstract
Cigarette smoke (CigS) exposure is associated with increased bronchial epithelial permeability and impaired barrier function. Primary cultures of normal human bronchial epithelial cells exposed to CigS exhibit decreased E-cadherin expression and reduced transepithelial electrical resistance. These effects were mediated by hyaluronan (HA) because inhibition of its synthesis with 4-methylumbelliferone prevented these effects, and exposure to HA fragments of <70 kDa mimicked these effects. We show that the HA receptor layilin is expressed apically in human airway epithelium and that cells infected with lentivirus expressing layilin siRNAs were protected against increased permeability triggered by both CigS and HA. We identified RhoA/Rho-associated protein kinase (ROCK) as the signaling effectors downstream layilin. We conclude that HA fragments generated by CigS bind to layilin and signal through Rho/ROCK to inhibit the E-cadherin gene and protein expression, leading to a loss of epithelial cell-cell contact. These studies suggest that HA functions as a master switch protecting or disrupting the epithelial barrier in its high versus low molecular weight form and that its depolymerization is a first and necessary step triggering the inflammatory response to CigS.

Abstract
Angiogenesis represents the outgrowth of new blood vessels from existing ones, a physiologic process that is vital to supply nourishment to newly forming tissues during development and tissue remodeling and repair (wound healing). Regulation of angiogenesis in the healthy body occurs through a fine balance of angiogenesis-stimulating factors and angiogenesis inhibitors. When this balance is disturbed, excessive or deficient angiogenesis can result and contribute to development of a wide variety of pathological conditions. The therapeutic stimulation or suppression of angiogenesis could be the key to abrogating these diseases. In recent years, tissue engineering has emerged as a promising technology for regenerating tissues or organs that are diseased beyond repair. Among the critical challenges that deter the practical realization of the vision of regenerating functional tissues for clinical implantation, is how tissues of finite size can be regenerated and maintained viable in the long-term. Since the diffusion of nutrients and essential gases to cells, and removal of metabolic wastes is typically limited to a depth of 150-250 microm from a capillary (3-10 cells thick), tissue constructs must mandatorily permit in-growth of a blood capillary network to nourish and sustain the viability of cells within. The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of the role and significance of hyaluronan (HA), a glycosaminoglycan (GAG) component of connective tissues, in physiologic and pathological angiogenesis, its applicability as a therapeutic to stimulate or suppress angiogenesis in situ within necrotic tissues in vivo, and the factors determining its potential utility as a pro-angiogenic stimulus that will enable tissue engineering of neo-vascularized and functional tissue constructs for clinical use.

Abstract
The viscoelastic properties of synovial fluid (SF) are critical to its functions of lubrication and shock-absorption of joints in human body; a change in the viscoelastic properties, even of only a few percents, is often concomitant with arthritis. In this work, the elastic modulus G '(f) and the viscous modulus G ''(f) of SF from patients suffering from three kinds of joint diseases, namely, osteoarthritis (OA), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and gouty arthritis (GA), were determined as a function of frequency "f " (in the low frequency range from f ∼ 0.1 to 10 Hz) by Diffusing Wave Spectroscopy (DWS) and correlated with the white blood cell (WBC) count. A strong correlation was observed, showing a higher WBC count corresponding to lower elastic and viscous moduli, G ' and G ''; further details depend on inflammatory vs. non-inflammatory, and on the severity of inflammation. Different types of arthritis lead to different degrees of decreasing viscoelasticity. Identical measurements were carried out with a commercial visco-supplementation (or artificial SF) to serve as reference. In general, the reduction in both G ' and G '' was most severe in the case of GA and least severe in the case of OA. Besides, in all cases, the reduction in G ' was more prominent than the reduction in G '', indicating that in general, the deterioration in the elasticity of SF by inflammation is more severe than that in the viscosity. This simple method for quantitative physical characterization of synovial fluid may serve as a useful complementary metric to the conventional biochemical analysis in clinical diagnosis of arthritis.

Abstract
Pro- and anti-oxidative effects of an anti-rheumatoid drug, D-penicillamine (D-PN), on the kinetics of high-molar-mass hyaluronan (HA) degradation were monitored using the method of rotational viscometry. The degradation of the dissolved HA macromolecules was attained by applying the Weissberger's system comprising ascorbic acid plus cupric ions. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy was used to identify the generated free radicals. The results obtained indicate that the initial anti-oxidative action of D-PN is followed by induction of pro-oxidative conditions due to the generation of reactive free radicals. It is speculated, however, that the latter situation may be considered as an advantageous property of D-PN. Hydroxyl radicals formed in this way may participate in decomposition of proteinases, which are believed to be responsible for the destruction of joint cartilage under rheumatoid arthritic conditions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To optimize sampling and to understand sources of variation in biomarkers for osteoarthritis (OA), we evaluated variation due to activity and food consumption. METHODS Twenty participants, with radiographic knee OA, provided serial serum and urine samples at 4 time points: before arising in the morning; after 1 h of light activity; 1 h after eating breakfast; and in the evening. Five serum (s) and 2 urinary (u) analytes were measured: hyaluronan (sHA); cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (sCOMP); keratan sulfate (sKS-5D4); transforming growth factor beta (sTGF-ss1); and collagen II-related epitopes (sCPII, uCTXII, and uC2C). Activity was monitored by an accelerometer. RESULTS All serum biomarkers increased and one of the urinary biomarkers decreased after 1 h of non-exertional activity. Food consumption following activity was associated with a return of biomarker concentrations to baseline levels. Accelerometers proved to be a novel way to monitor protocol compliance and demonstrated a positive association between the mean level of activity and sCOMP concentration. Urinary CTXII varied the least but demonstrated both true circadian variation (peak in the morning and nadir in the evening) and the most robust correlation with radiographic knee OA. CONCLUSIONS We confirm activity related variation in these markers. These data suggested that biomarkers also varied due to upright posture, glomerular filtration rate stimulated by food intake, and circadian rhythm in the case of uCTXII.

Abstract
Constitutively expressed HABP1 in normal murine fibroblast cell line induces growth perturbation, morphological abnormalities along with initiation of apoptosis. Here, we demonstrate that though HABP1 accumulation started in mitochondria from 48 hr of growth, induction of apoptosis with the release of cytochrome c and apoptosome complex formation occurred only after 60 hr. This mitochondrial dysfunction was due to gradual increase in ROS generation in HABP1 overexpressing cells. Along with ROS generation, increased Ca 2+ influx in mitochondria leading to drop in membrane potential was evident. Interestingly, upon expression of HABP1, the respiratory chain complex I was shown to be significantly inhibited. Electronmicrograph confirmed defective mitochondrial ultrastructure. The reduction in oxidant generation and drop in apoptotic cell population accomplished by disruption of HABP1 expression, corroborating the fact that excess ROS generation in HABP1 overexpressing cells leading to apoptosis was due to mitochondrial HABP1 accumulation.

Abstract
Changes in dynamic viscosity of the solutions of a high-molar-mass hyaluronan (HA) were monitored using a rotational viscometer. The degradative conditions generated in the HA solutions by a system comprising ascorbate plus Cu(II) plus H(2)O(2) were studied either in the presence or absence of a drug--naproxen or acetylsalicylic acid. Continual decrease of the dynamic viscosity of HA solution was indicative of the polymer degradation. Addition of the drug retarded/inhibited the HA degradation in a concentration-dependent manner. The characteristics of the fragmented polymers were investigated by FT-IR spectroscopy and by two different liquid chromatographic techniques, namely by size-exclusion chromatography equipped with a multi-angle light scattering photometric detector and by high-performance liquid chromatography connected on-line to a spectrofluorometer.

Abstract
Hyaluronan is being used increasingly as a component of artificial matrices and in bioengineering for tissue scaffolding. The length of hyaluronan polymer chains is now recognized as informational, involving a wide variety of size-specific functions. Inadvertent scission of hyaluronan can occur during the process of preparation. On the other hand, certain size-specific hyaluronan fragments may be desirable, endowing the finished bioengineered product with specific properties. In this review, the vast arrays of reactions that cause scission of hyaluronan polymers is presented, including those on an enzymatic, free radical, and chemical basis.

Abstract
The impact of peracetic acid (PAA), lyophilization, and ethylene oxide (EO) sterilization on the composition and three dimensional matrix structure of small intestinal submucosa (SIS), a biologic scaffold used to stimulate the repair of damaged tissues and organs, was examined. Fibronectin and glycosaminoglycans are retained in SIS following oxidation by peracetic acid and alkylation using ethylene oxide gas. Significant amounts of FGF-2 are also retained, but VEGF is susceptible to the effects of PAA and is dramatically reduced following processing. Further, matrix oxidation, lyophilization, and sterilization with EO can be performed without irreversibly collapsing the three dimensional structure of the native SIS. These structural features and growth promoting extracellular matrix constituents are likely to be important variables underlying cellular attachment, infiltration and eventual incorporation of SIS into healing host tissues.

Abstract
Hyaluronan (HA) is a multifunctional high molecular weight polysaccharide found throughout the animal kingdom, especially in the extracellular matrix (ECM) of soft connective tissues. HA is thought to participate in many biological processes, and its level is markedly elevated during embryogenesis, cell migration, wound healing, malignant transformation, and tissue turnover. The enzymes that degrade HA, hyaluronidases (HAases) are expressed both in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. These enzymes are known to be involved in physiological and pathological processes ranging from fertilization to aging. Hyaluronidase-mediated degradation of HA increases the permeability of connective tissues and decreases the viscosity of body fluids and is also involved in bacterial pathogenesis, the spread of toxins and venoms, acrosomal reaction/ovum fertilization, and cancer progression. Furthermore, these enzymes may promote direct contact between pathogens and the host cell surfaces. Depolymerization of HA also adversely affects the role of ECM and impairs its activity as a reservoir of growth factors, cytokines and various enzymes involved in signal transduction. Inhibition of HA degradation therefore may be crucial in reducing disease progression and spread of venom/toxins and bacterial pathogens. Hyaluronidase inhibitors are potent, ubiquitous regulating agents that are involved in maintaining the balance between the anabolism and catabolism of HA. Hyaluronidase inhibitors could also serve as contraceptives and anti-tumor agents and possibly have antibacterial and anti-venom/toxin activities. Additionally, these molecules can be used as pharmacological tools to study the physiological and pathophysiological role of HA and hyaluronidases.

Abstract
The antioxidant status of broiler chickens (Cobb 500 hybrids) infected with Eimeria tenella was monitored by determining blood plasma malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT). The results of the experiment showed an increase in MDA - a marker of radical-induced damage of E. tenella-infected birds, compared to healthy chickens (3.01 micro mol/L vs. 2.55 micro mol/L, P<0.05). Correspondingly, a decreased SOD activity was observed in infected birds compared to controls (2429.0 U/g Hb vs. 3044.6 U/g Hb, P<0.05). Furthermore, CAT activity in infected birds was higher than in healthy ones (2242.2 U/g Hb vs. 1367.0 U/g Hb, P<0.001). The observed enzyme changes suggest an impaired antioxidant status of chickens during the course of an E. tenella infection and the occurrence of oxidative stress following infection. Alterations in the caecum, oocyst production, weight gain and feed conversion ratio were indicative of a severe infection involving pathogenic oxidative stress and impaired ecological oxidative balance.
