IL-1 and TNF induce a specific hyaluronan synthase isoform To determine if a specific HAS isoform is involved in IL-1 and TNF induced HA synthesis levels of mRNA transcripts for HAS-1, 2 and 3 were determined by RT-PCR. Specific transcript for HAS-2 and HAS-3 could be detected following 25 and 35 cycles respectively Figure 5A ; . HAS-1 transcript could not be detected even after 40 cycles Figure 5A ; . These results suggest that HAS-2 is the major isoform expressed in lung fibroblasts. Next, we assessed the effect of IL-1 and TNF on HAS-2 and HAS-3 expression. Following IL-1 and TNF treatment, HAS-2 mRNA was increased at 3.
This study was designed to fail. Rheumatoid arthritis patients have a different form of arthritis. Their immune system attacks cartilage, glucosamine, chondroitin and hyaluronan, that are naturally produced in the body, and destroys these them. These degraded molecules then exit the body via the blood circulation, so rheumatoid arthritis sufferers have higher levels of glucosamine, chondroitin and hyaluronan in the blood circulation than healthy individuals or patients with the more common osteoarthritis. Among rheumatoid patients, any rise of chondroitin in the blood circulation after oral chondroitin intake would not be detectable. The Swiss researchers were careful not to compare oral chondroitin among patients with osteoarthritis, where an anticipated elevation of chondroitin would have confirmed it is in fact orally absorbed. Despite the fact doctors failed to embrace oral glucosamine or chondroitin, some arthritis patients kept taking these supplements. Subsequent studies confirm oral glucosamine and chondroitin are absorbed. [Osteoarthritis Cartilage 10: 768-77, 2002; Biopharm Drug Disposition 23: 217-25, 2002; Osteoarthritis Cartilage 6: A14-21, 1998] So, why did doctors drag their feet on this remarkable discovery? Here is how doctors at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine explain it: "The use of glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate for the symptomatic treatment of osteoarthritis has been a subject of controversy for several reasons. First, the medical community in general took offense at the title of Jason Theodosakis' book, The Arthritis Cure. Second, the medical community is becoming divided into "traditional" and "alternative.

It was the extraordinary rheological properties of hyaluronan that first roused interest in its medical applications. Balazs and collaborators 61 ; treated arthritic racehorses with viscous hyaluronan solutions and found them beneficial to the joints. This has been verified in many studies of horse joints. Similar studies of human osteoarthritic joints have been hampered by large placebo effects. However, in most series of patients treated with hyaluronan, a relief of pain has been observed for references, see ref 62 the explanation of this effect is not understood.

Like bilirubin, urobilinogen is a bile pigment that results from the degradation of hemoglobin. As shown in Figure 51, it is produced in the intestine from the reduction of bilirubin by the intestinal bacteria. Approximately half of the urobilinogen is reabsorbed from the intestine into the blood, recirculates to the liver, and is excreted back into the intestine through the bile duct. The urobilinogen remaining in the intestine is excreted in the feces, where it is oxidized to urobilin, the pigment responsible for the characteristic brown color of the feces. Urobilinogen appears in the urine because, as it circulates in the blood en route to the liver, it passes through the kidney and is filtered by the glomerulus. Therefore, a small amount of urobilinogen--less than 1 mg dL or Ehrlich unit--is normally found in the urine. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Increased urine urobilinogen greater than 1 mg dL ; is seen in liver disease and hemolytic disorders. Measurement of urine urobilinogen can be valuable in the detection of early liver disease; however, studies have shown that when urobilinogen tests are routinely performed, 1 percent of the nonhospitalized population and 9 percent of a hospitalized population exhibit elevated results.6 This is frequently caused by constipation. Impairment of liver function decreases the ability of the liver to process the urobilinogen recirculated from the intestine. The excess urobilinogen remaining in the blood is filtered by the kidneys and appears in the urine. The clinical jaundice associated with hemolytic disorders results from the increased amount of circulating unconjugated bilirubin. This unconjugated bilirubin is presented to the liver for conjugation, resulting in a markedly increased amount of conjugated bilirubin entering the intestines. As a result, increased urobilinogen is produced, and increased amounts of urobilinogen are reabsorbed into the blood and circulated through the kidneys where filtration takes place. In addition, the overworked liver does not process the reabsorbed urobilinogen as efficiently, and additional urobilinogen is presented for urinary excretion. Although it cannot be determined by reagent strip, the absence of urobilinogen in the urine and feces also is diagnostically significant and represents an obstruction of the bile duct that prevents the normal passage of bilirubin into the intestine. See Table 53 for an outline of the relationship of urine urobilinogen and bilirubin to the pathologic conditions associated with them and hydroxychloroquine.

Summary Hyaluronan is enriched in many types of human cancers, and manipulations of hyaluronan expression or interactions have a major influence on tumor progression in animal models. Increased ErbB2 activity is characteristic of several cancers and is responsible for many aspects of malignant cell behavior in these cancers. In this study we show that constitutively high levels of active, i.e. auto-phosphorylated, ErbB2 in HCT116 colon carcinoma cells and TA3 St mammary carcinoma cells are dependent on endogenous hyaluronan-CD44 interaction. Dependence on hyaluronan-CD44 interaction was demonstrated by administration of hyaluronan oligomers, experimentally induced expression of soluble CD44 and siRNA knockdown of CD44 expression. On the other hand, experimentally increased hyaluronan production causes elevated ErbB2 phosphorylation in MCF-7 mammary carcinoma cells, which normally exhibit low levels of ErbB2 activity. Furthermore, in HCT116 and TA3 St cells, inhibition of endogenous hyaluronan-CD44 interaction causes disassembly of a constitutive, lipid raft-associated, signaling complex containing phosphorylated ErbB2, CD44, ezrin, phosphoinositide 3-kinase, and the chaperone molecules, Hsp90 and cdc37. Stimulation of hyaluronan production in MCF-7 cells induces assembly of this complex. We conclude that hyaluronan regulates ErbB2 activity and its interactions with other signaling factors in carcinoma cells and ibandronate.
Hyaluronan HA ; is a pleiotropic glycosaminoglycan residing in the ECM, composed of repeating disaccharide units of N-acetyl-D-glucosamine- 14 ; -D-glucuronic acid 13 ; . Polymerization of HA takes place at the plasma membrane by one or more of the three hyaluronan synthases termed HAS 1, 2 and 3 ; , which have distinct enzymatic properties 11-13 ; . Accumulating evidence suggests that HA contributes to both lung homeostasis and disease. For instance, HA plays a role in the healthy lung by stimulating ciliary clearance, retaining homeostatic enzymes at the apical surface and tethering and stabilizing lung surfactant molecules 14, 15 ; . However, other studies suggest a role for HA during lung diseases. For example, the accumulation of fibrotic ECM components, in both animal models of lung fibrosis 16-19 ; and in milder forms of asthma in humans.
