Hyaluronan is a rapidly turned over component of the vertebrate extracellular matrix. Its levels are determined, in part, by the hyaluronan synthases, HAS1, HAS2, and HAS3, and three hyaluronidases, HYAL1, HYAL2 and HYAL3. Hyaluronan binding proteins also regulate hyaluronan...

Hyaluronan is a linear sugar polymer synthesized by three isoforms of hyaluronan synthases (HAS1, 2, and 3) that forms a hydrated scaffold around cells and is an essential component of the extracellular matrix. The morphological changes of cells induced...

Negative regulation between the expression levels of receptor for hyaluronic acid-mediated motility and hyaluronan leads to cell migration in pancreatic cancer.

Receptor for hyaluronic acid (HA)-mediated motility (RHAMM) expression is upregulated in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). In the present study, small interfering RNA knockdown was used to investigate the regulatory mechanism and function of RHAMM in PDAC cells. Reverse transcription-quantitative...

The decreased secretion of hyaluronan by older human fibroblasts under physiological conditions is mainly associated with the down-regulated expression of hyaluronan synthases but not with the expression levels of hyaluronidases.

Although it has been reported that levels of hyaluronan are decreased in the dermis of aged skin, little is known about the cellular mechanism(s) underlying that hyaluronan deficiency. Since hyaluronan is produced by dermal fibroblasts and is secreted into...

4-Methylumbelliferone inhibits enhanced hyaluronan synthesis and cell migration in pancreatic cancer cells in response to tumor-stromal interactions.
