Abstract
Hyaluronic acid (also known as hyaluronan or hyaluronate) is naturally found in many tissues and fluids, but more abundantly in articular cartilage and synovial fluid (SF). Hyaluronic acid (HA) content varies widely in different joints and species. HA is a non-sulfated, naturally occurring non-protein glycosaminoglycan (GAG), with distinct physico-chemical properties, produced by synoviocytes, fibroblasts, and chondrocytes. HA has an important role in the biomechanics of normal SF, where it is partially responsible for lubrication and viscoelasticity of the SF. The concentration of HA and its molecular weight (MW) decline as osteoarthritis (OA) progresses with aging. For that reason, HA has been used for more than four decades in the treatment of OA in dogs, horses and humans. HA produces anti-arthritic effects via multiple mechanisms involving receptors, enzymes and other metabolic pathways. HA is also used in the treatment of ophthalmic, dermal, burns, wound repair, and other health conditions. The MW of HA appears to play a critical role in the formulation of the products used in the treatment of diseases. This review provides a mechanism-based rationale for the use of HA in some disease conditions with special reference to OA.

Abstract
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is widely used in medicine, especially for contouring or volumizing soft tissue and intra-articular injection. However, it is not well known that HA injection can cause life-threatening pulmonary complications. We recently experienced a case of a woman who was diagnosed with diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH) after receiving an illegal vaginal HA filler injection. A 54-year-old female visited our clinic complaining of hemoptysis and dyspnea. Chest computed tomographic (CT) scan showed diffuse ground glass opacities and consolidation in both lower lobes. Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) disclosed hemorrhagic feature in sequential samples compatible with DAH. There were no relevant drugs or past medical histories, and no positive result in autoantibodies tests. During detailed history taking, she recalled that she got an illegal HA filler injection in her vaginal wall performed by nonmedical personnel the very day before the onset of symptoms. Although the procedure itself or an additive of HA preparation could be a cause, HA that might have been introduced into circulation was thought to be the most possible cause for the development of DAH. The clinical symptoms and lung lesions were dramatically improved after the treatment with systemic steroid. Pulmonary complications after HA injections were scarcely reported. Only one case of HA-related DAH has been previously described so far. Our present case emphasizes that physician and other health care providers must be aware of possible pulmonary complications of this most widely-using injectable agent.

Abstract
The glycosaminoglycan hyaluronan (HA), a major component of extracellular matrices, and cell surface receptors of HA have been proposed to have pivotal roles in cell proliferation, migration, and invasion, which are necessary for inflammation and cancer progression. CD44 and receptor for HA-mediated motility (RHAMM) are the two main HA-receptors whose biological functions in human and murine inflammations and tumor cells have been investigated comprehensively. HA was initially considered to be only an inert component of connective tissues, but is now known as a “dynamic” molecule with a constant turnover in many tissues through rapid metabolism that involves HA molecules of various sizes: high molecular weight HA (HMW HA), low molecular weight HA, and oligosaccharides. The intracellular signaling pathways initiated by HA interactions with CD44 and RHAMM that lead to inflammatory and tumorigenic responses are complex. Interestingly, these molecules have dual functions in inflammations and tumorigenesis. For example, the presence of CD44 is involved in initiation of arthritis, while the absence of CD44 by genetic deletion in an arthritis mouse model increases rather than decreases disease severity. Similar dual functions of CD44 exist in initiation and progression of cancer. RHAMM overexpression is most commonly linked to cancer progression, whereas loss of RHAMM is associated with malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor growth. HA may similarly perform dual functions. An abundance of HMW HA can promote malignant cell proliferation and development of cancer, whereas antagonists to HA-CD44 signaling inhibit tumor cell growth in vitro and in vivo by interfering with HMW HA-CD44 interaction. This review describes the roles of HA interactions with CD44 and RHAMM in inflammatory responses and tumor development/progression, and how therapeutic strategies that block these key inflammatory/tumorigenic processes may be developed in rodent and human diseases.

Abstract
Following injury, platelets rapidly interact with the exposed extracellular matrix (ECM) of the vessel wall and the surrounding tissues. Hyaluronan (HA) is a major glycosaminoglycan component of the ECM and plays a significant role in regulating inflammation. We have recently reported that human platelets degrade HA from the surfaces of activated endothelial cells into fragments capable of inducing immune responses by monocytes. We also showed that human platelets contain the enzyme hyaluronidase-2 (HYAL2), one of two major hyaluronidases that digest HA in somatic tissues. The deposition of HA increases in inflamed tissues in several inflammatory diseases, including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). We therefore wanted to define the mechanism by which platelets degrade HA in the inflamed tissues. In this study, we show that human platelets degrade the proinflammatory matrix HA through the activity of HYAL2 and that platelet activation causes the immediate translocation of HYAL2 from a distinct population of α-granules to platelet surfaces where it exerts its catalytic activity. Finally, we show that patients with IBD have lower platelet HYAL2 levels and activity than healthy controls.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We have introduced a method of characterization of invading glioma cells by using molecular analysis of marginal invading tumor cells and molecular profiles of glioma tumor margin. METHODS Each of tumor core and marginal tissues was obtained in 22 glioma patients. Tumor core cells and marginal cells from each glial tumor were collected by laser capture microdissection or intraoperative microdissection under the operating microscope. Expression of MMP-2, MMP-9, CD44 and RHAMM mRNA by invading glioma cells compared with tumor core was confirmed by realtime-PCR of twenty-four glioma specimens. Clinical data also were reviewed for invasion and recurrence pattern of the gliomas radiologically and invasive rim pattern microscopically. RESULTS Overall results of the molecular analysis showed that relative overexpression of MMP-2, MMP-9 and RHAMM were noted at the invasive edge of human glioma specimens comparing to the tumor core but CD44 was highly expressed in the tumor core comparing to the margin. High marginal expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9 were noted in poorly ill-defined margin on the pathological finding. High marginal expression of CD44 and MMP-2 were demonstrated in the midline cross group on the radiological review, and that of RHAMM and MMP-2 were showed in the aggressive recurrence group. High expression of MMP-2 seems to be involved in the various invasion-related phenomenons. CONCLUSION Up-regulation of MMP-2, MMP-9, CD44 and RHAMM was noted in invasive edge of gliomas according to the various clinical situations.

Abstract
Using the chick chorioallantoic membrane assay (CAM) and a novel histological technique, we investigated the ability of blood vessels to directly invade fibrin-based scaffolds. In our initial experiments utilizing vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF(165)), we found no direct invasion. Instead, the fibrin was completely degraded and replaced with highly vascularized new tissue. Addition of fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2), bone morphogenic protein-2 (BMP-2), or platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB) to the fibrin construct also did not result in construct vascularization. Because natural and regenerating tissues exhibit complex extracellular matrices (ECMs), we hypothesized that a more complex scaffold may improve blood vessel invasion. Addition of fibronectin, hyaluronic acid, and collagen type I within 20 mg/mL fibrin constructs resulted in no significant improvement. However, the same additive concentrations within 10 mg/mL fibrin constructs resulted in dramatic improvements, specifically with hyaluronic acid. Overall, we believe that these results indicate the importance of structural and functional cues of not only in the initial scaffold but also as the construct is degraded and remodeled. Furthermore, the CAM assay may represent a useful model for understanding ECM interactions as well as for screening and designing tissue-engineered scaffolds.

Abstract
Fibrosis results when myofibroblasts invade the wound fibrin provisional matrix. Extracellular matrix receptors on the cell surface mediate cell adhesion, migration, and invasion. Recent work with transformed cells indicates that these cells use the cell surface matrix receptor CD44 for migration and invasion. In this study, we examine whether lung fibroblasts, isolated from patients dying with acute alveolar fibrosis, use CD44 to invade a fibrin matrix. Consistent with a role for CD44 in mediating fibroblast invasion and subsequent tissue fibrosis, immunohistochemical analysis of lung tissue from patients who died from acute alveolar fibrosis after lung injury reveals CD44-expressing mesenchymal cells throughout newly formed fibrotic tissue. PCR, Western, and immunoprecipitation analysis demonstrate that the 85-kD CD44 isoform is expressed by acute lung injury fibroblasts. Consistent with a role in mediating matrix adhesion and migration ultrastructurally, CD44 was found uniformly over the cell surface and was found densely labeling filopodia and lamellipodia, highly motile structures involved in cell migration. To determine if lung injury fibroblasts use CD44 to invade fibrin, a fibrin gel model of fibrosis was used. By blocking the function of CD44 with monoclonal antibodies, fibroblast invasion into a fibrin matrix was inhibited. To examine the mechanism by which CD44 mediates fibroblast invasion, the role of CD44 in fibroblast migration and adhesion was evaluated. Anti-CD44 antibody blocked fibroblast migration on the provisional matrix proteins fibronectin, fibrinogen, and hyaluronic acid. Additionally, fibroblast CD44 mediated adhesion to the provisional matrix proteins fibronectin, fibrin, and hyaluronic acid, but not to laminin, a component of the basement membrane. These findings support the hypothesis that fibroblast CD44 functions as an adhesion receptor for provisional matrix proteins and is capable of mediating fibroblast migration and invasion of the wound provisional matrix resulting in the formation of fibrotic tissue.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Corneal and aqueous hyaluronan have recently been shown to react in response to several different types of trauma, including cataract surgery. In order to find ways to influence the reaction, we have evaluated the effect of topical dexamethasone (Isopto-Maxidex, Alcon Universal Ltd, Fort Worth, Tex) or indomethacin (Confortid, Dumex Ltd, Copenhagen, Denmark) on the postoperative hyaluronan concentration in rabbit cornea and aqueous after extracapsular lens extraction. METHODS The drugs were administered as topical eye drops three times daily. The hyaluronan concentration in rabbit cornea and aqueous after extracapsular lens extraction was measured with a radioligand assay. RESULTS Dexamethasone treatment (1 mg/mL) significantly suppressed the increase in corneal hyaluronan seen after extracapsular lens extraction, 2 (p < or = 0.0022) and 3 weeks (p < or = 0.0002) after surgery, while indomethacin did not induce any significant difference at 2 weeks. When the dexamethasone concentration was lowered to 0.1 and 0.2 mg/mL, there was still a significant decrease (p < or = 0.009) in hyaluronan concentration, but at lower concentrations of dexamethasone (0.01 and 0.02 mg/mL), no significant decrease was seen. The increase in aqueous hyaluronan concentration seen 2 days after surgery in untreated eyes was significantly lowered by both dexamethasone (p < or = 0.0076) and indomethacin (p < 0.036). CONCLUSIONS Dexamethasone lowers reactive corneal and aqueous hyaluronan concentration in vivo after extracapsular lens extraction.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine if expression of CD44, the principal receptor for hyaluronan, was altered in rheumatoid (RA) synovium and cultured rheumatoid synovial fibroblasts. METHODS Synovium was obtained from normal adult human joints (n = 4) and from joints of patients with RA (n = 5). Specific monoclonal antibodies to CD44 were used in immunofluorescence of whole synovium and cultured synovial fibroblasts and in quantitative Western blotting and ELISA of CD44 in cultured synovial fibroblasts. RESULTS CD44 was restricted to the lining layer in normal synovium but present, in reduced concentrations, throughout rheumatoid synovium. Cultured rheumatoid cells were 19% larger in area and showed far fewer and less extensive CD44-positive cytoplasmic extensions, together with reduced staining intensity compared with normal. Quantitative Western blotting normalised for cell protein showed a 75% reduction (normal = 1754 (835), rheumatoid = 409 (84) mean (SD) arbitrary units) in the amount of CD44 in rheumatoid cells compared with normal, and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) of cultured cell monolayers normalised for cell number indicated a 29% reduction (normal = 0.707 (0.110), rheumatoid = 0.504 (0.103), mean (SD) optical density at 405 nm). CONCLUSIONS Rheumatoid synovial cells showed altered morphology and reduced CD44 expression compared with normal cells. CD44, by means of modulated associations with the cytoskeleton, may be involved in cell shape change.

Abstract
The molecular mechanisms whereby hyaluronan (HA) stimulates cell motility was investigated in a C-H-ras transformed 10T 1/2 fibroblast cell line (C3). A significant (p < 0.001) stimulation of C3 cell motility with HA (10 ng/ml) was accompanied by an increase in protein tyrosine phosphorylation as detected by anti-phosphotyrosine antibodies using immunoblot analysis and immunofluorescence staining of cells. Tyrosine phosphorylation of several proteins was found to be both rapid and transient with phosphorylation occurring within 1 min of HA addition and dissipating below control levels 10-15 min later. These responses were also elicited by an antibody generated against a peptide sequence within the HA receptor RHAMM. Treatment of cells with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (genistein, 10 micrograms/ml or herbimycin A, 0.5 micrograms/ml) or microinjection of anti-phosphotyrosine antibodies inhibited the transient protein tyrosine phosphorylation in response to HA as well as prevented HA stimulation of cell motility. To determine a link between HA-stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation and the resulting cell locomotion, cytoskeletal reorganization was examined in C3 cells plated on fibronectin and treated with HA or anti-RHAMM antibody. These agents caused a rapid assembly and disassembly of focal adhesions as revealed by immunofluorescent localization of vinculin. The time course with which HA and antibody induced focal adhesion turnover exactly paralleled the induction of transient protein tyrosine phosphorylation. In addition, phosphotyrosine staining colocalized with vinculin within structures in the lamellapodia of these cells. Notably, the focal adhesion kinase, pp125FAK, was rapidly phosphorylated and dephosphorylated after HA stimulation. These results suggest that HA stimulates locomotion via a rapid and transient protein tyrosine kinase signaling event mediated by RHAMM. They also provide a possible molecular basis for focal adhesion turnover, a process that is critical for cell locomotion.

Abstract
In an experimental study with 18 minipigs, we have tried to establish a model for the standardized evaluation of mechanical, histological and radiological phenomena of degenerative and reparative processes within the lumbar motion segment. Comparing different operative techniques revealed that the intradiscal application of hyaluronic acid into the nuclear defect is likely to enhance the regeneration process. Using the measurement of disc compliance, a semiautomatic picture analyzer and a new semiquantitative disc score could make future studies more comparable. From this basis, the intradiscal application of hyaluronic acid deserves further evaluation.

Abstract
Hyaluronic acid plays a key role in the process of wound repair. Deposition of this glycosaminoglycan polymer is in turn controlled by levels of the enzyme hyaluronidase. Hyaluronidase activity was examined in a rat incisional skin wound model comparing laser and scalpel wounds. A polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) hyaluronic acid substrate assay was used to detect differences in the rates of appearance, and level, of hyaluronidase activity in wound homogenates. The hyaluronidase activity in laser wounds appeared earlier, had a bimodal distribution, and increased to a higher level than that in scalpel wounds. The origin of hyaluronidase is not clear, but control of its appearance and modulation of its activity may be a more complex process than previously assumed.

Abstract
CD44 is a broadly distributed cell surface glycoprotein expressed in different isoforms in various tissues and cell lines. One of two recently characterized human isoforms, CD44H, is a cell surface receptor for hyaluronate, suggesting a role in the regulation of cell-cell and cell-substrate interactions as well as of cell migration. While CD44H has been shown to mediate cell adhesion, direct demonstration that CD44H expression promotes cell motility has been lacking. In this work we show that a human melanoma cell line, stably transfected with CD44H, displays enhanced motility on hyaluronate-coated surfaces while transfectants expressing an isoform that does not bind hyaluronate, CD44E, fail to do so. Migration of CD44H-expressing transfectants is observed to be blocked by a soluble CD44-immunoglobulin fusion protein as well as by anti-CD44 antibody, and to depend on the presence of the cytoplasmic domain of CD44. However, cells expressing CD44H cytoplasmic deletion mutants retain significant binding capacity to hyaluronate-coated substrate. Taken together, our results provide direct evidence that CD44H plays a major role in regulating cell migration on hyaluronate-coated substrate.

Abstract
Tumor growth is dependent in part on interactions between tumor cells and the extracellular matrix of host tissues. Expression of the cell surface glycoprotein CD44/Pgp-1, which mediates cell-substrate interactions is increased in many types of malignancies, but the role of CD44 in tumor growth is largely undefined. Recently, two isoforms of CD44 have been identified: an 80-90 kD form, which has high affinity for cell bound hyaluronate and a 150 kD form which does not mediate attachment to hyaluronate-coated surfaces. In this work, human B cell lymphoma cells stably transfected with cDNA clones encoding either of the two CD44 isoforms were compared for tumorigenicity and metastatic potential in nude mice. Expression of the 80-90 kD form but not the 150 kD form of CD44 greatly enhanced both local tumor formation and metastatic proclivity of the lymphoma cells. Our results suggest that CD44 polypeptides may play an important role in regulating primary and metastatic tumor development in vivo.

Abstract
Hyaluronan (HA) and one of its cell binding sites, fibroblast hyaluronan binding protein (HABP), is shown to contribute to the regulation of 10T1/2 cell locomotion that contain an EJ-ras-metallothionein (MT-1) hybrid gene. Promotion of the ras-hybrid gene with zinc sulfate acutely stimulates, by 6-10-fold, cell locomotion. After 10 h, locomotion drops to two- to threefold above that of uninduced cells. Several observations indicate increased locomotion is partly regulated by HA. These include the ability of a peptide that specifically binds HA (HABR) to reduce locomotion, the ability of HA (0.001-0.1 micrograms/ml), added at 10-30 h after induction to stimulate locomotion back to the original, acute rate, and the ability of an mAb specific to a 56-kD fibroblast HABP to block locomotion. Further, both HA and HABP products are regulated by induction of the ras gene. The effect of exogenous HA is blocked by HABR, is dose-dependent and specific in that chondroitin sulfate or heparan have no significant effect. Stimulatory activity is retained by purified HA and lost upon digestion with Streptomyces hyaluronidase indicating that the activity of HA resides in its glycosaminoglycan chain. Uninduced cells are not affected by HA, HABR, or mAb and production of HA or HABP is not altered during the experimental period. These results suggest that ras-transformation activates an HA/HABP locomotory mechanism that forms part of an autocrine motility mechanism. Reliance of induced cells on HA/HABP for locomotion is transient and specific to the induced state.
