Secreted KIAA1199 promotes the progression of rheumatoid arthritis by mediating hyaluronic acid degradation in an ANXA1-dependent manner. Cell Death Dis 2021; 12:102. [PMID: 33473125 PMCID: PMC7817834 DOI: 10.1038/s41419-021-03393-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/29/2020] [Revised: 12/13/2020] [Accepted: 12/28/2020] [Indexed: 11/09/2022]
Abstract
In inflamed joints, enhanced hyaluronic acid (HA) degradation is closely related to the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). KIAA1199 has been identified as a hyaladherin that mediates the intracellular degradation of HA, but its extracellular function remains unclear. In this study, we found that the serum and synovial levels of secreted KIAA1199 (sKIAA1199) and low-molecular-weight HA (LMW-HA, MW < 100 kDa) in RA patients were significantly increased, and the positive correlation between them was shown for the first time. Of note, treatment with anti-KIAA1199 mAb effectively alleviated the severity of arthritis and reduced serum LMW-HA levels and cytokine secretion in collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) mice. In vitro, sKIAA1199 was shown to mediate exogenous HA degradation by attaching to the cell membrane of RA fibroblast-like synoviosytes (RA FLS). Furthermore, the HA-degrading activity of sKIAA1199 depended largely on its adhesion to the membrane, which was achieved by its G8 domain binding to ANXA1. In vivo, kiaa1199-KO mice exhibited greater resistance to collagen-induced arthritis. Interestingly, this resistance could be partially reversed by intra-articular injection of vectors encoding full-length KIAA1199 instead of G8-deleted KIAA119 mutant, which further confirmed the indispensable role of G8 domain in KIAA1199 involvement in RA pathological processes. Mechanically, the activation of NF-κB by interleukin-6 (IL-6) through PI3K/Akt signaling is suggested to be the main pathway to induce KIAA1199 expression in RA FLS. In conclusion, our study supported the contribution of sKIAA1199 to RA pathogenesis, providing a new therapeutic target for RA by blocking sKIAA1199-mediated HA degradation.

KIAA1199, a deafness gene of unknown function, is a new hyaluronan binding protein involved in hyaluronan depolymerization. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 2013; 110:5612-7.

Abstract
Hyaluronan (HA) has an extraordinarily high turnover in physiological tissues, and HA degradation is accelerated in inflammatory and neoplastic diseases. CD44 (a cell surface receptor) and two hyaluronidases (HYAL1 and HYAL2) are thought to be responsible for HA binding and degradation; however, the role of these molecules in HA catabolism remains controversial. Here we show that KIAA1199, a deafness gene of unknown function, plays a central role in HA binding and depolymerization that is independent of CD44 and HYAL enzymes. The specific binding of KIAA1199 to HA was demonstrated in glycosaminoglycan-binding assays. We found that knockdown of KIAA1199 abolished HA degradation by human skin fibroblasts and that transfection of KIAA1199 cDNA into cells conferred the ability to catabolize HA in an endo-β-N-acetylglucosaminidase-dependent manner via the clathrin-coated pit pathway. Enhanced degradation of HA in synovial fibroblasts from patients with osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis was correlated with increased levels of KIAA1199 expression and was abrogated by knockdown of KIAA1199. The level of KIAA1199 expression in uninflamed synovium was less than in osteoarthritic or rheumatoid synovium. These data suggest that KIAA1199 is a unique hyaladherin with a key role in HA catabolism in the dermis of the skin and arthritic synovium.

Abstract
Agarose and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis systems for the molecular mass-dependent separation of hyaluronan (HA) in the size range of approximately 5-500 kDa were investigated. For agarose-based systems, the suitability of different agarose types, agarose concentrations, and buffer systems was determined. Using chemoenzymatically synthesized HA standards of low polydispersity, the molecular mass range was determined for each gel composition over which the relationship between HA mobility and logarithm of the molecular mass was linear. Excellent linear calibration was obtained for HA molecular mass as low as approximately 9 kDa in agarose gels. For higher resolution separation, and for extension to molecular masses as low as approximately 5 kDa, gradient polyacrylamide gels were superior. Densitometric scanning of stained gels allowed analysis of the range of molecular masses present in a sample as well as calculation of weight-average and number-average values. The methods were validated for polydisperse HA samples with viscosity-average molecular masses of 112, 59, 37, and 22 kDa at sample loads of 0.5 μg (for polyacrylamide) to 2.5 μg (for agarose). Use of the methods for electrophoretic mobility shift assays was demonstrated for binding of the HA-binding region of aggrecan (recombinant human aggrecan G1-IGD-G2 domains) to a 150-kDa HA standard.

Abstract
AIM Hyaluronate plays an important role in the regulation of cervical function during parturition. In our previous study we showed that 4-methylumbelliferone (MU) suppresses hyaluronate synthesis by cultured human skin fibroblasts. The present study investigated the effects of MU on fibroblasts obtained from the human uterine cervix and assessed the possibility of controlling cervical ripening with MU. METHODS Human uterine cervical fibroblasts were collected from uterine cervices obtained from the uteri of three patients who had a total hysterectomy for uterine myoma at Hirosaki University Hospital. The fibroblasts were cultured in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium until confluence. They were then cultured in medium containing [3H]glucosamine (0.074 MBq/mL) with various MU doses. Hyaluronate synthesis was evaluated by assessing the incorporation of [3H]glucosamine into the soluble fraction of hyaluronate. Three independent studies were carried out on each specimen to clarify whether MU causes compositional changes or promotes hyaluronate degradation, whether the inhibitory effects of MU on hyaluronate synthesis are dose-dependent, and whether the effects of MU are reversible. RESULTS MU added to the medium of the cultured cells reduced the synthesis of hyaluronate in a dose-dependent manner. After MU was removed from the medium, hyaluronate synthesis recommenced, and the amount of [3H]hyaluronate synthesized was similar to the control level. CONCLUSIONS MU inhibits the synthesis of hyaluronate in human uterine cervical fibroblasts.

Abstract
Human skin fibroblasts were cultured in the presence of 4-methylumbelliferone, an inhibitor of hyaluronan synthesis. Gelatinolytic activity excreted in the medium was examined by zymography and gelatinase assay using a fluorogenic substrate. 4-Methylumbelliferone added to the medium activated the latent form of matrix metalloproteinase-2 in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Immunoblot analysis also showed the conversion of the latent form of matrix metalloproteinase-2 to its active form. This activation was observed even when the cells were cultured with both 4-methylumbelliferone and hyaluronan. Addition of Streptomyces hyaluronidase to the medium during cultivation did not activate the latent form of matrix metalloproteinase-2. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction revealed that 4-methylumbelliferone markedly increased the level of mRNA for membrane type 1-matrix metalloproteinase, whereas levels of mRNA for matrix metalloproteinase-2 and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-2 were little affected. These results suggest that 4-methylumbelliferone induces the expression of membrane type 1-matrix metalloproteinase, resulting in activation of matrix metalloproteinase-2, in cultured human skin fibroblasts.

Abstract
We report that ATP enhances the activity of galactosyltransferase-I, which synthesizes the linkage region between glycosaminoglycan chains and the core proteins of proteoglycans. The enzyme activity in cell-free fractions prepared from cultured human skin fibroblasts was measured by high-performance liquid chromatographic detection of galactosyl-xylosyl-(4-methylumbelliferone) produced from 4-methylumbelliferyl-β-D-xyloside used as an acceptor. ATP at 2 mM increased the enzyme activity by about 60% in the 110 × g supernatant of the cell homogenate, but not in the supernatant or precipitate fractions obtained by 100 000 × g centrifugation. When both fractions (the 100 000 × g supernatant and precipitate) were mixed, the additional ATP increased the enzyme activity. This increase was canceled by heat treatment or trypsin digestion of the 100 000 × g supernatant. In addition, the 100 000 × g precipitate, which was prepared from the 110 × g supernatant preincubated with ATP, exhibited increased activity, and this increase was abolished by alkaline phosphatase treatment. These results suggest that a protein kinase in the 100 000 × g supernatant activates galactosyltransferase-I activity.Key words: ATP, enzyme activator, galactosyltransferase-I, proteoglycan linkage region.

Abstract
Hyaluronidase activity has been detected for the first time in normal human dermal fibroblasts (HS27), as well as in fetal fibroblasts (FF24) and fibrosarcoma cells (HT1080). Enzymatic activity was secreted predominantly into the culture media, with minor amounts of activity associated with the cell layer. In both classes of fibroblasts, hyaluronidase expression was confluence-dependent, with highest levels of activity occurring in quiescent, post-confluent cells. However, in the fibrosarcoma cell cultures, expression was independent of cell density. The enzyme had a pH optimum of 3.7 and on hyaluronan substrate gel zymography, activity occurred as a single band corresponding to an approximate molecular size of 57 kDa. The enzyme could be immunoprecipitated in its entirety using monoclonal antibodies raised against Hyal-1, human plasma hyaluronidase. PCR confirmed that fibroblast hyaluronidase was identical to Hyal-1. The conclusion by previous investigators using earlier technologies that fibroblasts do not contain hyaluronidase activity should be reevaluated.

Abstract
High-molecular-weight [14C]hyaluronate was incubated with cultured fibroblasts from human uterine cervix and skin, and then the depolymerization of the hyaluronate was investigated. [14C]Hyaluronate in the medium of skin fibroblasts was depolymerized into a constant molecular weight (M(r) about 40,000), whereas that of cervix fibroblasts was not depolymerized, irrespective of incubation period. However, when progesterone was added to the medium of cervix fibroblasts, hyaluronate was depolymerized to the same extent as that in skin fibroblasts. The reducing terminal sugar of the depolymerized hyaluronate was N-acetylglucosamine. These results suggest that a hyaluronate-depolymerizing enzyme, endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase, was induced by progesterone in cultured fibroblasts derived from human uterine cervix.

Abstract
High molecular weight hyaluronan (M(r) 400,000) obtained from human umbilical cord was depolymerized by sonication for 10 h into small molecules and finally into molecules of constant size (M(r) 11,000). The molecular size of the depolymerized hyaluronan was unaltered even under different conditions of sonication. After sonication, the main sugar residues at the reducing and non-reducing termini of depolymerized hyaluronan were N-acetylglucosamine (86%) and glucuronic acid (98%), respectively. Hyaluronans derived from rooster comb (M(r) 1 x 10(6)) and Streptococcus zooepidemicus (M(r) 1.2 x 10(6)) were depolymerized into molecules of different but characteristic sizes by sonication. On the other hand, neither chondroitin sulfate nor glycogen was depolymerized by sonication. These results suggest that high molecular weight hyaluronan may have some weak linkages related to N-acetylglucosamine in the chain, which are extremely sensitive to sonication. At present, however, the nature of these linkages is still unclear.

Abstract
The main metabolic pathway for the interstitial matrix component hyaluronan seems to be via lymph. Present estimates of turnover of intestinal hyaluronan are based on isolated organs and/or experiments in anaesthesia over a few hours. In this study lymph was sampled from the main mesenteric lymphatic for 24 h in awake, restrained rats. The tissue content of hyaluronan averaged 28 micrograms g-1 in the duodenum/jejunum and 124 micrograms g-1 in the colon. Based on tissue content and lymphatic output, the turnover rate of hyaluronan in the small intestine was estimated at approximately 50%. In another experimental group anaesthetized rats were fed either phosphate buffer or triolein in buffer via a gastric tube. Lymph flow increased with fluid absorption from the gut and hyaluronan output in lymph was elevated correspondingly. However, no effect of acute fat administration on hyaluronan concentration or lymph flow could be demonstrated.

Abstract
Previous studies from several laboratories have provided evidence that interaction of hyaluronan (HA) with the surface of endothelial cells may be involved in endothelial cell behavior. We have recently characterized a mAb, mAb IVd4, that recognizes and neutralizes HA-binding protein (HABP) from a wide variety of cell types from several different species (Banerjee, S. D., and B. P. Toole. 1991. Dev. Biol. 146:186-197). In this study we have found that mAb IVd4 inhibits migration of endothelial cells from a confluent monolayer after "wounding" of the monolayer. HA hexasaccharide, a fragment of HA with the same disaccharide composition as polymeric HA, also inhibits migration. In addition, both reagents inhibit morphogenesis of capillary-like tubules formed in gels consisting of type I collagen and basement membrane components. Immunocytology revealed that the antigen recognized by mAb IVd4 becomes localized to the cell membrane of migrating cells, including many of their lamellipodia. Treatment with high concentrations of HA hexamer causes loss of immunoreactivity from these structures. We conclude that HABP recognized by mAb IVd4 is involved in endothelial cell migration and tubule formation.

Abstract
We characterized the mechanisms by which recombinant (r) tumor necrosis factor (TNF), IFN-gamma, and IL-1, alone and in combination, regulate human lung fibroblast hyaluronic acid (HA) production. Each cytokine stimulated fibroblast HA production. The combination of rTNF and rIFN-gamma resulted in a synergistic increase in the production of high molecular weight HA. This was due to a synergistic increase in hyaluronate synthetase activity and a simultaneous decrease in HA degradation. In contrast, when rTNF and rIL-1 were combined, an additive increase in low molecular weight HA was noted. This was due to a synergistic increase in hyaluronate synthetase activity and a simultaneous increase in HA degradation. Human lung fibroblasts contained a hyaluronidase that, at pH 3.7, depolymerized high molecular weight HA to 10-40 kD end products of digestion. However, hyaluronidase activity did not correlate with fibroblast HA degradation. Instead, HA degradation correlated with fibroblast-HA binding, which was increased by rIL-1 plus rTNF and decreased by rIFN-gamma plus rTNF. Recombinant IL-1 and rTNF weakly stimulated and rIL-1 and rTNF in combination further augmented the levels of CD44 mRNA in lung fibroblasts. In contrast, rIFN-gamma did not significantly alter the levels of CD44 mRNA in unstimulated or rTNF stimulated cells. These studies demonstrate that rIL-1, rTNF, and rIFN-gamma have complex effects on biosynthesis and degradation which alter the quantity and molecular weight of the HA produced by lung fibroblasts. They also show that fibroblast HA degradation is mediated by a previously unrecognized lysosomal-type hyaluronidase whose function may be regulated by altering fibroblast-HA binding. Lastly, they suggest that the CD44 HA receptor may be involved in this process.

Abstract
Hyaluronate in cultured skin fibroblasts derived from patients with Werner's syndrome, who excrete large amounts of urinary hyaluronate, was investigated. The amount of hyaluronate secreted into the medium by Werner's fibroblasts was 2-3-times that of normal fibroblasts, whereas no difference in enzyme activities related to the degradation of hyaluronate was found. Werner's fibroblasts were then cultured in the presence of [3H]glucosamine, and the amount of [3H]hyaluronate and its chain lengths in the medium and matrix (trypsinate) fractions were compared with those of normal cells. No significant difference in the chain length of hyaluronate was observed between normal and Werner's fibroblasts. On the other hand, a significant increase of hyaluronate was found in the matrix fraction of Werner's fibroblasts when the cells reached confluency. In addition, a hyaluronate of small chain length was found in the matrix fraction of Werner's fibroblasts, although this was absent from that of normal cells. It was concluded that the constituents of the extracellular matrix of Werner's fibroblasts differed from those of normal cells, characterized by the presence of a large amount of hyaluronate and a relatively small hyaluronate chain.

Abstract
Angiogenesis is an essential component of wound healing. Vessel growth is controlled by the local actions of chemical mediators, the extracellular matrix, metabolic gradients, and physical forces. Manipulation of some of these factors can improve healing in experimental wounds. The clinical potential and specific application of 'angiomodulatory' strategies are discussed.

Human whole skin was labeled for 24 h with [6-3H]-glucosamine in organ culture and epidermis, dermis and culture medium were separately analyzed for the molecular mass and content of the [3H]-labeled hyaluronan (HA). Gel filtration on Sephacryl S-1000 of HA purified by HPLC showed a large proportion of the newly synthesized HA to be of a very high molecular mass (greater than 2 X 10(6) Da) in both epidermis and dermis, whereas HA in the medium was of a smaller size. After 24 h chase, most of the high molecular mass HA, and 42-48% of total labeled HA disappeared from both tissue compartments. The size of labeled HA recovered in the chase media was further reduced but the content roughly corresponded to that lost from tissue. The amount of unlabeled HA was not significantly altered in epidermis, whereas in dermis it was reduced to about 10% of the initial values during 5-d culture. The results demonstrate that HA of both epidermis and dermis is synthesized as a very high molecular mass compound but rapidly undergoes a limited degradation into large fragments. The fragmentation of HA is suggested to enhance its diffusion from the tissues, particularly dermis.

Abstract
Exposure of gingival fibroblasts to LPS caused a dose-dependent increase in hyaluronate synthesis. Stimulation of hyaluronate synthesis by LPS was significantly greater 24 h after exposure and by 48 h an approx. 50% increase was evident. In parallel, there was an increase in the activity of the hyaluronate synthetase enzyme. Inhibition of PGE2 synthesis by indomethacin abolished the stimulatory effect of LPS on hyaluronate synthesis. Thus, this stimulatory effect of LPS on hyaluronic acid synthesis may be a secondary response to the induction of PGE2. The molecular size of newly synthesized hyaluronate was not affected by LPS. The metabolic changes observed may be a primary response of the cells to bacterial toxins and may aid extracellular matrix repair.
