Intravenous Autologous Bone Marrow-derived Mesenchymal Stromal Cells Delay Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome in Swine. Am J Respir Crit Care Med 2023; 208:1283-1292. [PMID: 37797214 DOI: 10.1164/rccm.202305-0865oc] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/16/2023] [Accepted: 10/05/2023] [Indexed: 10/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Rationale: Early post injury mitigation strategies in ARDS are in short supply. Treatments with allogeneic stromal cells are administered after ARDS develops, require specialized expertise and equipment, and to date have shown limited benefit. Objectives: Assess the efficacy of immediate post injury intravenous administration of autologous or allogeneic bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) for the treatment of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) due to smoke inhalation and burns. Methods: Yorkshire swine (n = 32, 44.3 ± 0.5 kg) underwent intravenous anesthesia, placement of lines, severe smoke inhalation, and 40% total body surface area flame burns, followed by 72 hours of around-the-clock ICU care. Mechanical ventilation, fluids, pressors, bronchoscopic cast removal, daily lung computed tomography scans, and arterial blood assays were performed. After injury and 24 and 48 hours later, animals were randomized to receive autologous concentrated bone marrow aspirate (n = 10; 3 × 106 white blood cells and a mean of 56.6 × 106 platelets per dose), allogeneic MSCs (n = 10; 6.1 × 106 MSCs per dose) harvested from healthy donor swine, or no treatment in injured control animals (n = 12). Measurements and Main Results: The intravenous administration of MSCs after injury and at 24 and 48 hours delayed the onset of ARDS in swine treated with autologous MSCs (48 ± 10 h) versus control animals (14 ± 2 h) (P = 0.004), reduced ARDS severity at 24 (P < 0.001) and 48 (P = 0.003) hours, and demonstrated visibly diminished consolidation on computed tomography (not significant). Mortality at 72 hours was 1 in 10 (10%) in the autologous group, 5 in 10 (50%) in the allogeneic group, and 6 in 12 (50%) in injured control animals (not significant). Both autologous and allogeneic MSCs suppressed systemic concentrations of TNF-α (tumor necrosis factor-α). Conclusions: The intravenous administration of three doses of freshly processed autologous bone marrow-derived MSCs delays ARDS development and reduces its severity in swine. Bedside retrieval and administration of autologous MSCs in swine is feasible and may be a viable injury mitigation strategy for ARDS.

Verma S, Moreno IY, Sun M, Gesteira TF, Coulson-Thomas VJ. Age related changes in hyaluronan expression leads to Meibomian gland dysfunction. Matrix Biol 2023; 124:23-38. [PMID: 37949327 PMCID: PMC11095397 DOI: 10.1016/j.matbio.2023.11.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/25/2023] [Revised: 10/30/2023] [Accepted: 11/06/2023] [Indexed: 11/12/2023]
Abstract
The prevalence of dry eye disease (DED) ranges from ∼5 to 50 % and its associated symptoms decrease productivity and reduce the quality of life. Approximately 85 % of all DED cases are caused by Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD). As humans and mice age, their Meibomian glands (MGs) undergo age-related changes resulting in age related-MGD (ARMGD). The precise cause of ARMGD remains elusive, which makes developing therapies extremely challenging. We previously demonstrated that a hyaluronan (HA)-rich matrix exists surrounding the MG, regulating MG morphogenesis and homeostasis. Herein, we investigated whether changes to the HA matrix in the MG throughout life contributes towards ARMGD, and whether altering this HA matrix can prevent ARMGD. For such, HA synthase (Has) knockout mice were aged and compared to age matched wild type (wt) mice. MG morphology, lipid production, PPARγ expression, basal cell proliferation, stem cells, presence of atrophic glands and MG dropout were analyzed at 8 weeks, 6 months, 1 year and 2 years of age and correlated with the composition of the HA matrix. We found that as mice age, there is a loss of HA expression in and surrounding the MGs of wt mice, while, in contrast, Has1-/-Has3-/- mice present a significant increase in HA expression through Has2 upregulation. At 1 year, Has1-/-Has3-/- mice present significantly enlarged MGs, compared to age-matched wt mice and compared to all adult mice. Thus, Has1-/-Has3-/- mice continue to develop new glandular tissue as they age, instead of suffering MG atrophy. At 2 years, Has1-/-Has3-/- mice continue to present significantly larger MGs compared to age-matched wt mice. Has1-/-Has3-/- mice present increased lipid production, increased PPARγ expression and an increase in the number of proliferating cells when compared to wt mice at all-time points analyzed. Taken together, our data shows that a loss of the HA matrix surrounding the MG as mice age contributes towards ARMGD, and increasing Has2 expression, and consequently HA levels, prevents ARMGD in mice.

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to impose a major impact on global health and economy since its identification in early 2020, causing significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. Caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, along with a growing number of variants, COVID-19 has led to 651,918,402 confirmed cases and 6,656,601 deaths worldwide (as of December 27, 2022; https://covid19.who.int/). Despite advances in our understanding of COVID-19 pathogenesis, the precise mechanism by which SARS-CoV2 causes epithelial injury is incompletely understood. In this current study, robust application of global-discovery proteomics identified highly significant induced changes by the Spike S1 protein of SARS-CoV-2 in the proteome of alveolar type II (ATII)-like rat L2 cells that lack ACE2 receptors. Systems biology analysis revealed that the S1-induced proteomics changes were associated with three significant network hubs: E2F1, CREB1/RelA, and ROCK2/RhoA. We also found that pretreatment of L2 cells with high molecular weight hyaluronan (HMW-HA) greatly attenuated the S1 effects on the proteome. Western blotting analysis and cell cycle measurements confirmed the S1 upregulation of E2F1 and ROCK2/RhoA in L2 cells and the protective effects of HMW-HA. Taken as a whole, our studies revealed profound and novel biological changes that contribute to our current understanding of both S1 and hyaluronan biology. These data show that the S1 protein may contribute to epithelial injury induced by SARS-CoV-2. In addition, our work supports the potential benefit of HMW-HA in ameliorating SARS CoV-2-induced cell injury.

Despite tremendous advances in our understanding of COVID19 pathogenesis, the precise mechanism by which SARS-CoV2 causes epithelial injury is incompletely understood. In this current study, robust application of global-discovery proteomics applications combined with systems biology analysis identified highly significant induced changes by the Spike S1 protein of SARS-CoV-2 in an ATII-like Rat L2 cells that include three significant network hubs: E2F1, CREB1/ RelA, and ROCK2/ RhoA. Separately, we found that pre-treatment with High Molecular Weight Hyaluronan (HMW-HA), greatly attenuated the S1 effects. Immuno-targeted studies carried out on E2F1 and Rock2/ RhoA induction and kinase-mediated activation, in addition to cell cycle measurements, validated these observations. Taken as a whole, our discovery proteomics and systems analysis workflow, combined with standard immuno-targeted and cell cycle measurements revealed profound and novel biological changes that contribute to our current understanding of both Spike S1 and Hyaluronan biology. This data shows that the Spike S1 protein may contribute to epithelial injury induced by SARS-CoV-2.

Abstract
Smoke-induced acute lung injury (ALI) is a grievous disease with high mortality. Despite advances in medical intervention, no drug has yet been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for ALI. In this study, we reported that pretreatment with high-molecular-weight hyaluronan (1600 kDa, HA1600) alleviated pulmonary inflammation and injury in mice exposed to smoke and also upregulated long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1), as well as suppressor of cytokine signaling-1 (SOCS-1), in the lung tissues. Next, we overexpressed MALAT1 in the lungs by intratracheal administration of adenovirus cloned with MALAT1 cDNA and found that the survival of mice after smoke exposure was improved. Moreover, pulmonary overexpression of MALAT1 ameliorated smoke-induced ALI in mice and elevated the level of SOCS-1 in the lungs. In conclusion, the results pointed out that HA1600 exerted a protective effect against smoke-induced ALI through increasing the MALAT1 level and the subsequent SOCS-1 expression. Our study provides a potential therapeutic approach to smoke-induced ALI and a novel insight into the mechanism of action of HA1600.

Abstract
The halogens chlorine (Cl2) and bromine (Br2) are highly reactive oxidizing elements with widespread industrial applications and a history of development and use as chemical weapons. When inhaled, depending on the dose and duration of exposure, they cause acute and chronic injury to both the lungs and systemic organs that may result in the development of chronic changes (such as fibrosis) and death from cardiopulmonary failure. A number of conditions, such as viral infections, coexposure to other toxic gases, and pregnancy increase susceptibility to halogens significantly. Herein we review their danger to public health, their mechanisms of action, and the development of pharmacological agents that when administered post-exposure decrease morbidity and mortality.

Abstract
Chlorine (Cl2 ) and bromine (Br2 ) are produced in large quantities throughout the world and used in the industry and the sanitation of water. These halogens can pose a significant threat to public health when released into the atmosphere during transportation and industrial accidents, or as acts of terrorism. In this review, we discuss the evidence showing that the activity of Cl2 and Br2 , and of products formed by their interaction with biomolecules, fragment high-molecular-weight hyaluronan (HMW-HA), a key component of the interstitial space and present in epithelial cells, to form proinflammatory, low-molecular-weight hyaluronan fragments that increase intracellular calcium (Ca2+ ) and activate RAS homolog family member A (RhoA) in airway smooth muscle and epithelial and microvascular cells. These changes result in airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) to methacholine and increase epithelial and microvascular permeability. The increase in intracellular Ca2+ is the result of the activation of the calcium-sensing receptor by Cl2 , Br2 , and their by-products. Posthalogen administration of a commercially available form of HMW-HA to mice and to airway cells in vitro reverses the increase of Ca2+ and the activation of RhoA, and restores AHR to near-normal levels of airway function. These data have established the potential of HMW-HA to be a countermeasure against Cl2 and Br2 toxicity.

Abstract
Scar formation is the typical endpoint of postnatal dermal wound healing, which affects more than 100 million individuals annually. Not only do scars cause a functional burden by reducing the biomechanical strength of skin at the site of injury, but they also significantly increase healthcare costs and impose psychosocial challenges. Though the mechanisms that dictate how dermal wounds heal are still not completely understood, they are regulated by extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling, neovascularization, and inflammatory responses. The cytokine interleukin (IL)-10 has emerged as a key mediator of the pro- to anti-inflammatory transition that counters collagen deposition in scarring. In parallel, the high molecular weight (HMW) glycosaminoglycan hyaluronan (HA) is present in the ECM and acts in concert with IL-10 to block pro-inflammatory signals and attenuate fibrotic responses. Notably, high concentrations of both IL-10 and HMW HA are produced in early gestational fetal skin, which heals scarlessly. Since fibroblasts are responsible for collagen deposition, it is critical to determine how the concerted actions of IL-10 and HA drive their function to potentially control fibrogenesis. Beyond their independent actions, an auto-regulatory IL-10/HA axis may exist to modulate the magnitude of CD4+ effector T lymphocyte activation and enhance T regulatory cell function in order to reduce scarring. This review underscores the pathophysiological impact of the IL-10/HA axis as a multifaceted molecular mechanism to direct primary cell responders and regulators toward either regenerative dermal tissue repair or scarring.

Abstract
We investigated the mechanisms involved in the development of airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) following exposure of mice to halogens. Male mice (C57BL/6; 20-25 g) exposed to either bromine (Br2) or Cl2 (600 or 400 ppm, respectively, for 30 min) developed AHR 24 h after exposure. Nifedipine (5 mg/kg body wt; an L-type calcium channel blocker), administered subcutaneously after Br2 or Cl2 exposure, produced higher AHR compared with Br2 or Cl2 alone. In contrast, diltiazem (5 mg/kg body wt; a nondihydropyridine L-type calcium channel blocker) decreased AHR to control (air) values. Exposure of immortalized human airway smooth muscle cells (hASMC) to Br2 resulted in membrane potential depolarization (Vm Air: 62 ± 3 mV; 3 h post Br2:-45 ± 5 mV; means ± 1 SE; P < 0.001), increased intracellular [Ca2+]i, and increased expression of the calcium-sensing receptor (Ca-SR) protein. Treatment of hASMC with a siRNA against Ca-SR significantly inhibited the Br2 and nifedipine-induced Vm depolarization and [Ca2+]i increase. Intranasal administration of an antagonist to Ca-SR in mice postexposure to Br2 reversed the effects of Br2 and nifedipine on AHR. Incubation of hASMC with low-molecular-weight hyaluronan (LMW-HA), generated by exposing high-molecular-weight hyaluronan (HMW-HA) to Br2, caused Vm depolarization, [Ca2+]i increase, and Ca-SR expression to a similar extent as exposure to Br2 and Cl2. The addition of HMW-HA to cells or mice exposed to Br2, Cl2, or LMW-HA reversed these effects in vitro and improved AHR in vivo. We conclude that detrimental effects of halogen exposure on AHR are mediated via activation of the Ca-SR by LMW-HA.

MicroRNA-155 Participates in Smoke-Inhalation-Induced Acute Lung Injury through Inhibition of SOCS-1. Molecules 2020; 25:molecules25051022. [PMID: 32106541 PMCID: PMC7179228 DOI: 10.3390/molecules25051022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2020] [Revised: 02/18/2020] [Accepted: 02/23/2020] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
Smoke inhalation causes acute lung injury (ALI), a severe clinical disease with high mortality. Accumulating evidence indicates that microRNA-155 (miR-155) and suppressor of cytokine signaling 1 (SOCS-1), as mediators of inflammatory response, are involved in the pathogenesis of ALI. In this paper, we explored the proinflammatory mechanism of miR-155 in smoke-inhalation-induced ALI. Our data revealed that smoke inhalation induces miR-155 expression, and miR-155 knockout (KO) significantly ameliorates smoke-inhalation-induced lung injury in mice. Neutrophil infiltration and myeloperoxidase (MPO), macrophage inflammatory protein 2 (MIP-2) and keratinocyte chemoattractant (KC) expressions were decreased in miR-155–/– mice after smoke inhalation as well. Real-time RT-PCR and immunoblotting results showed that SOCS-1 level was remarkably increased in miR-155–/– mice after smoke exposure. Furthermore, the experiments performed in isolated miR-155 KO pulmonary neutrophils demonstrated that the lack of SOCS-1 enhanced inflammatory cytokines (MIP-2 and KC) secretion in response to smoke stimulation. In conclusion, smoke induces increased expression of miR-155, and miR-155 is involved in inflammatory response to smoke-inhalation-induced lung injury by inhibiting the expression of SOCS-1.

Abstract
Smoke inhalation leads to acute lung injury (ALI), a devastating clinical problem associated with high mortality rates. Suppressor of cytokine signaling-1 (SOCS-1) is a negative regulator of proinflammatory cytokine signaling. We have found that adenoviral gene transfer of SOCS-1 ameliorates smoke inhalation-induced lung injury in C57BL/6 mice. We also found that the release of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) was increased post smoke exposure, while oxidized ATP, an inhibitor of purinergic P2X7 receptor, suppressed smoke-induced NALP3 inflammasome assembly, caspase-1 activation, and K+ efflux. Similar to oxidized ATP, high protein level of SOCS-1 dampened the formation of NALP3 inflammasome and the activation of caspase-1 and IL-1β induced by smoke exposure in mouse alveolar macrophages. In conclusion, SOCS-1 relieves smoke inhalation-induced pulmonary inflammation and injury by inhibiting NALP3 inflammasome formation.

Abstract
Inhalation of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) is asscoiated with lung injury. High molecular weight hyaluronan (HMW-HA) is an essential constituent of extracellular matrix (ECM), exhibiting anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory properties when administered by injection, inhalation, nebulization or gene delivery of HA synthases. The aim of the present study is to determine whether HMW-HA alleviates PM2.5-induced acute lung injury (ALI) and investigate the underlying mechanisms. We observed that HMW-HA suppressed pathological injury, inflammation, oxidative stress, edema and epithelial damage caused by PM2.5 in the lungs of the rats. The protective mechanism of HMW-HA was further explored in vitro. The results elucidated that reactive oxygen species (ROS) was involved in PM2.5-induced cell apoptosis, and HMW-HA mitigated the oxidative potential of PM2.5, subsequently inhibiting phosphorylation of ASK1 at Thr845, downstream phosphorylation of p38 and JNK, and eventual apoptosis. Our study indicates that HMW-HA is a promising strategy in the prevention of PM2.5-induced pulmonary damage.

Abstract
Lymphatic vessels are essential for the uptake of fluid, immune cells, macromolecules, and lipids from the interstitial space. During lung transplant surgery, the pulmonary lymphatic vessel continuum is completely disrupted, and, as a result, lymphatic drainage function is severely compromised. After transplantation, the regeneration of an effective lymphatic drainage system plays a crucial role in maintaining interstitial fluid balance in the lung allograft. In the meantime, these newly formed lymphatic vessels are commonly held responsible for the development of immune responses leading to graft rejection, because they are potentially capable of transporting antigen-presenting cells loaded with allogeneic antigens to the draining lymph nodes. However, despite remarkable progress in the understanding of lymphatic biology, there is still a paucity of consistent evidence that demonstrates the exact impacts of lymphatic vessels on lung graft function. In this review, we examine the current literature related to roles of lymphatic vessels in the pathogenesis of lung transplant rejection.

Abstract
Acid (HCl) aspiration during anesthesia may lead to acute lung injury. There is no effective therapy. We hypothesized that HCl instilled intratracheally in C57BL/6 mice results in the formation of low-molecular weight hyaluronan (L-HA), which activates RhoA and Rho kinase (ROCK), causing airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) and increased permeability. Furthermore, instillation of high-molecular weight hyaluronan (H-HA; Yabro) will reverse lung injury. We instilled HCl in C57BL/6 wild-type (WT), myeloperoxidase gene-deficient (MPO-/-) mice, and CD44 gene-deficient (CD44-/-) mice. WT mice were also instilled intranasally with H-HA (Yabro) at 1 and 23 h post-HCl. All measurements were performed at 1, 5, or 24 h post-HCl. Instillation of HCl in WT but not in CD44-/- resulted in increased inflammation, AHR, lung injury, and L-HA in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) 24 h post-HCl; L-HA levels and lung injury were significantly lower in HCl-instilled MPO-/- mice. Isolated perfused lungs of HCl instilled WT but not of CD44-/- mice had elevated values of the filtration coefficient ( Kf). Addition of L-HA on the apical surface of human primary bronchial epithelial cell monolayer decreased barrier resistance ( RT). H-HA significantly mitigated inflammation, AHR, and pulmonary vascular leakage at 24 h after HCl instillation and mitigated the increase of Kf and RT, as well as ROCK2 phosphorylation. Increased H- and L-HA levels were found in the BALF of mechanically ventilated patients but not in healthy volunteers. HCl instillation-induced lung injury is mediated by the L-HA-CD44-RhoA-ROCK2 signaling pathway, and H-HA is a potential novel therapeutic agent for acid aspiration-induced lung injury.

SOCS-1 ameliorates smoke inhalation-induced acute lung injury through inhibition of ASK-1 activity and DISC formation. Clin Immunol 2017; 191:94-99.

Abstract
Smoke inhalation leads to acute lung injury (ALI), a devastating clinical problem associated with high mortality. Suppressor of cytokine signaling-1 (SOCS-1) is a negative regulator of apoptosis and pro-inflammatory cytokine signaling, two major contributors to the pathogenesis of ALI. We have found that SOCS-1 protects lung epithelial cells from smoke-induced apoptosis through two mechanisms. One is that SOCS-1 enhances degradation of ASK-1 and diminishes cleavage of pro-caspase-3 to repress smoke-triggered apoptosis in lung epithelial cells. The other is that SOCS-1 represses smoke-triggered DISC formation through altering TRADD-caspase-8 interaction rather than TNFR-1-TRADD interaction or TNFR-1-TRAF-2 interaction. In conclusion, SOCS-1 relieves smoke inhalation-induced lung injury by repressing ASK-1 and DISC-mediated epithelium apoptosis.

Abstract
The extracellular matrix in asthmatic lungs contains abundant low-molecular-weight hyaluronan, and this is known to promote antigen presentation and allergic responses. Conversely, high-molecular-weight hyaluronan (HMW-HA), typical of uninflamed tissues, is known to suppress inflammation. We investigated whether HMW-HA can be adapted to promote tolerance to airway allergens. HMW-HA was thiolated to prevent its catabolism and was tethered to allergens via thiol linkages. This platform, which we call "XHA," delivers antigenic payloads in the context of antiinflammatory costimulation. Allergen/XHA was administered intranasally to mice that had been sensitized previously to these allergens. XHA prevents allergic airway inflammation in mice sensitized previously to either ovalbumin or cockroach proteins. Allergen/XHA treatment reduced inflammatory cell counts, airway hyperresponsiveness, allergen-specific IgE, and T helper type 2 cell cytokine production in comparison with allergen alone. These effects were allergen specific and IL-10 dependent. They were durable for weeks after the last challenge, providing a substantial advantage over the current desensitization protocols. Mechanistically, XHA promoted CD44-dependent inhibition of nuclear factor-κB signaling, diminished dendritic cell maturation, and reduced the induction of allergen-specific CD4 T-helper responses. XHA and other potential strategies that target CD44 are promising alternatives for the treatment of asthma and allergic sinusitis.

Abstract
Background Elevated fibrosis has been found in patients with intrauterine adhesion, which indicates that fibrotic factors may play a critical role in formation of intrauterine adhesion. The aim of this study was to identify the effect of hyaluronic acid (HA) at high and low molecular weight on fibrosis of the endometrium in a mouse model of Asherman’s syndrome. Material/Methods Endometrial fibrosis in a mouse model of Asherman’s syndrome was confirmed. Then HA at high and low molecular weight was injected into the uterine cavity. Endometrial fibrosis was compared among the control group, LMW-HA, and HMW-HA group. The extent of endometrial fibrosis was calculated using Masson stain. The fibrosis markers (TGFβ1, CTGF, collagen I, and collagen III) in endometrial tissue were detected using immunohistochemistry and Western blotting. Results The ratio of the area with endometrial fibrosis to total endometrial area in the HMW-HA group was significantly decreased compared to the control group (P<0.05). The expression of fibrosis markers (TGFβ1, CTGF, collagen I, and collagen III) in the endometrium was attenuated in the HMW-HA group compared to the control group, but the LMW-HA group had no similar effect. Conclusions Hyaluronic acid at high molecular weight may attenuate the degree of endometrial fibrosis after endometrial damage, which may contribute to preventing formation of intrauterine adhesions.

Abstract
Accumulation and turnover of extracellular matrix is a hallmark of tissue injury, repair and remodeling in human diseases. Hyaluronan is a major component of the extracellular matrix and plays an important role in regulating tissue injury and repair, and controlling disease outcomes. The function of hyaluronan depends on its size, location, and interactions with binding partners. While fragmented hyaluronan stimulates the expression of an array of genes by a variety of cell types regulating inflammatory responses and tissue repair, cell surface hyaluronan provides protection against tissue damage from the environment and promotes regeneration and repair. The interactions of hyaluronan and its binding proteins participate in the pathogenesis of many human diseases. Thus, targeting hyaluronan and its interactions with cells and proteins may provide new approaches to developing therapeutics for inflammatory and fibrosing diseases. This review focuses on the role of hyaluronan in biological and pathological processes, and as a potential therapeutic target in human diseases.

Abstract
In normal airways, hyaluronan (HA) matrices are primarily located within the airway submucosa, pulmonary vasculature walls, and, to a lesser extent, the alveoli. Following pulmonary injury, elevated levels of HA matrices accumulate in these regions, and in respiratory secretions, correlating with the extent of injury. Animal models have provided important insight into the role of HA in the onset of pulmonary injury and repair, generally indicating that the induction of HA synthesis is an early event typically preceding fibrosis. The HA that accumulates in inflamed airways is of a high molecular weight (>1600 kDa) but can be broken down into smaller fragments (<150 kDa) by inflammatory and disease-related mechanisms that have profound effects on HA pathobiology. During inflammation in the airways, HA is often covalently modified with heavy chains from inter-alpha-inhibitor via the enzyme tumor-necrosis-factor-stimulated-gene-6 (TSG-6) and this modification promotes the interaction of leukocytes with HA matrices at sites of inflammation. The clearance of HA and its return to normal levels is essential for the proper resolution of inflammation. These data portray HA matrices as an important component of normal airway physiology and illustrate its integral roles during tissue injury and repair among a variety of respiratory diseases.

Abstract
Although several therapeutic approaches are available at present for the treatment of chronic pharyngitis, new therapeutic strategies acting on pharyngeal mucous function should be investigated in order to improve symptoms and quality of life. High-molecular weight hyaluronate performs important functions on mucociliary clearance, tissues hydration, defense against micro-organisms, and on tissue repair as well, but at present there is no clinical evidence of its exogenous use in patients with chronic pharyngitis. Our open, randomized controlled study was carried out to investigate efficacy, and tolerability of exogenous high molecular weight sodium hyaluronate (SH) at the dosage of 9 mg three times a day for a period of 30 days, in patients with chronic pharyngitis. Results show significant improvements of symptoms and cytology in active group (A, n = 10) vs. control group (B, n = 10). Good compliance and no adverse events were reported in group A. In conclusion, SH was effective and safe in patients with chronic pharyngitis.

Abstract
After traumatic events (accidental or surgical), the respiratory tract activates specific and prolix repairing mechanisms which tend to claw back the primitive differentiated state. The attempt of reactivation of the normal tissue functions is called 'remodeling' and its aim is to reinstate the modeling mechanisms that existed before the damaging event or the pathology's establishment. Endoscopic sinus surgery represents the gold standard treatment for inflammatory, malformative, benign, and, in selected cases, malignant diseases. The surgical technique is commonly described as minimally invasive as the nostrils are used as an access route and therefore does not leave any external scars. Currently, the surgical procedures, even though minimally invasive regarding the way in, are in fact widely destructive towards the surgical target. The healing process and re-epithelialization will depend on the amount of bony tissue that has been exposed and it will be important to stratify the different surgical typologies in order to foresee the increasing difficulty of mucosal healing process. As far as upper inflammatory diseases are concerned, recent studies demonstrated how intranasal hyaluronic acid can positively regulate mucosal glands secretion and modulate inflammatory response, being a useful tool for the improvement of remodeling after endoscopic sinus surgery. Acid has shown to be able to regulate mucosal glands secretion and modulate the inflammatory response.

Abstract
Hyaluronan (HA) is a prominent component of the extracellular matrix at many sites of chronic inflammation, including type 1 diabetes (T1D), multiple sclerosis, and numerous malignancies. Recent publications have demonstrated that when HA synthesis is inhibited using 4-methylumbelliferone (4-MU), beneficial effects are observed in several animal models of these diseases. Notably, 4-MU is an already approved drug in Europe and Asia called "hymecromone" where it is used to treat biliary spasm. However, there is uncertainty regarding how 4-MU treatment provides benefit in these animal models and the potential long-term consequences of HA inhibition. Here, we review what is known about how HA contributes to immune dysregulation and tumor progression. Then, we review what is known about 4-MU and hymecromone in terms of mechanism of action, pharmacokinetics, and safety. Finally, we review recent studies detailing the use of 4-MU to treat animal models of cancer and autoimmunity.

Chlorine (Cl2) inhalation induces severe oxidative lung injury and airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) that lead to asthmalike symptoms. When inhaled, Cl2 reacts with epithelial lining fluid, forming by-products that damage hyaluronan, a constituent of the extracellular matrix, causing the release of low-molecular-weight fragments (L-HA, <300 kDa), which initiate a series of proinflammatory events. Cl2 (400 ppm, 30 min) exposure to mice caused an increase of L-HA and its binding partner, inter-α-trypsin-inhibitor (IαI), in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. Airway resistance following methacholine challenge was increased 24 h post-Cl2 exposure. Intratracheal administration of high-molecular-weight hyaluronan (H-HA) or an antibody against IαI post-Cl2 exposure decreased AHR. Exposure of human airway smooth muscle (HASM) cells to Cl2 (100 ppm, 10 min) or incubation with Cl2-exposed H-HA (which fragments it to L-HA) increased membrane potential depolarization, intracellular Ca(2+), and RhoA activation. Inhibition of RhoA, chelation of intracellular Ca(2+), blockade of cation channels, as well as postexposure addition of H-HA, reversed membrane depolarization in HASM cells. We propose a paradigm in which oxidative lung injury generates reactive species and L-HA that activates RhoA and Ca(2+) channels of airway smooth muscle cells, increasing their contractility and thus causing AHR.

Abstract
Disruption of cancer lymphatic vessel barrier function occurs has been reported to involve in cancer lymphatic metastasis. Hyaluronan (HA), a major glycosaminoglycan component of the extracellular matrix, is associated with cancer metastasis. We investigated the effect of high/low molecular weight hyaluronan (HMW-HA/LMW-HA) on regulation of barrier function and tight junctions in cancer lymphatic endothelial cell (LEC) monolayer. Results showed that LMW-HA increased the permeability of cancer LEC monolayers and induced disruption of Zonula Occludens-1 (ZO-1)-mediated intercellular tight junction and actin stress fiber formation. HMW-HA treatment decreased permeability in cancer LEC monolayers and cortical actin ring formation. As reported, sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) receptors are involved in vascular integrity. After silencing of lymphatic vessel endothelial hyaluronan receptor (LYVE-1), upregulation of S1P receptors (S1P1 and S1P3) induced by HMW-HA/LMW-HA were inhibited, respectively. With S1P3 silenced, the disruption of ZO-1 as well as stress fiber formation and the ROCK1/RhoA signaling pathway induced by LMW-HA was not observed in cancer LEC. These results suggested that S1P receptors may play an important role in HMW-HA-/LMW-HA-mediated regulation of cancer lymphatic vessel integrity, which might be the initial step of cancer lymphatic metastasis and a useful intervention of cancer progression.

Abstract
The extracellular matrix polysaccharide hyaluronan (HA) exerts size-dependent effects on leukocyte behavior. Low-molecular weight HA is abundant at sites of active tissue catabolism and promotes inflammation via effects on Toll-like receptor signaling. Conversely, high-molecular weight HA is prevalent in uninjured tissues and is anti-inflammatory. We propose that the ability of high-molecular weight but not low-molecular weight HA to cross-link CD44 functions as a novel form of pattern recognition that recognizes intact tissues and communicates "tissue integrity signals" that promote resolution of local immune responses.

Abstract
Hyaluronan (HA), a glycosaminoglycan critical to the lung extracellular matrix, has been shown to dissociate into low-molecular-weight (LMW) HA fragments following exposure to injurious stimuli. In the present study we questioned whether lung HA changed during ischemia and whether changes had an effect on subsequent angiogenesis. After left pulmonary artery ligation (LPAL) in mice, we analyzed left lung homogenates immediately after the onset of ischemia (0 h) and intermittently for 14 days. The relative expression of HA synthase (HAS)1, HAS2, and HAS3 was determined by real-time RT-PCR, total HA in the lung was measured by an ELISA-like assay, gel electrophoresis was performed to determine changes in HA size distribution, and the activity of hyaluronidases was determined by zymography. A 50% increase in total HA was measured 16 h after the onset of ischemia and remained elevated for up to 7 days. Furthermore, a fourfold increase in LMW HA fragments (495-30 kDa) was observed by 4 h after LPAL. Both HAS1 and HAS2 showed increased expression 4-16 h after LPAL, yet no changes were seen in hyaluronidase activity. These results suggest that both HA fragmentation and activation of HA synthesis contribute to increased HA levels during lung ischemia. Delivery of LMW HA fragments in an in vitro tube formation assay or directly to the ischemic mouse lung in vivo both resulted in increased angiogenesis. We conclude that ischemic injury results in matrix fragmentation, which leads to stimulation of neovascularization.

Abstract
Neutrophils are key innate immune effector cells that are rapidly recruited to sites of infection and inflammation to provide early defence against invading microorganisms. This function is facilitated by the expression of Toll-like receptor (TLR) family members by neutrophils, allowing the recognition of an extensive repertoire of pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and thus triggering the response to invading pathogens. TLR activation leads to important cellular processes including reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, cytokine production and increased survival, all of which can contribute to the pathogenesis of chronic inflammation when signalling becomes dysregulated. In turn, inflammation and tissue injury results in the release of endogenous TLR ligands, known as damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), which are a rapidly growing class of potent inflammatory stimuli. DAMPs act in an autocrine manner, alerting the host of damage, but can also amplify inflammation leading to further tissue damage. This review highlights recent literature on neutrophil TLR function and regulation during disease, and provides an overview of the recently emerging area of neutrophil responses to DAMPs.
