ABSTRACT
Objective To explore how hyaluronic acid ( HA) in extracellular matrix regulates the adhesion ofCD44+tumor cells. Methods MDA-MB-231 cells or HL60 cells were perfused in a parallel plate chamber. Themovement of cells over immobilized HA was observed and analyzed to obtain the characteristics of cell adhesionand rolling. Results The adhesion number of MDA-MB-231 cells on HA substrate was positively regulated by HAconcentration, but not by HA molecular weight. Compared with physically adsorbed HA, immobilized HA byavidin-biotin could significantly improve the cell adhesion ratio. With the increase of shear stress in the range of30-50 mPa, the rolling velocity of cells increased and the adhesion ratio decreased, but the tether lifetime of cellswas not affected. In the same flow field, compared with MDA-MB-231 cells, HL60 cells with low expression ofCD44 rolled more quickly on immobilized HA, with shorter tether lifetime and much lower adhesion ratio(<1. 5% ). Conclusions Fluid shear stress might mediate the rolling velocity of MDA-MB-231 cells by regulatingthe CD44-HA association rate rather than their dissociation rate. The interaction between CD44 and HA is involved in the initial adhesion of HL60 cells, but it does not play a major role. This study will provide references for the design of anti-tumor drugs.
ABSTRACT
@#Background: Rejuvenation of the skin with hyaluronic acid (HA) filler is considered to be one of the most favourable procedures in the field of aesthetics. Nevertheless, some adverse effects still occur though infrequently, and are associated with its use. Previous research has suggested that HA filler may stimulate antibodies. Consequently, an investigation of the immune interactions associated with use of HA filler is an important area for investigation. Objectives: The aim of this research is to investigate whether HA filler influences the initiation of an autoimmune reaction in healthy women who had received HA filler by screening for autoantibodies in the blood. Results will be compared with agematched apparently healthy control women who did not receive the filler. Methods: Serum samples were obtained from 44 females who had received HA filler and 44 females who had not as a control group. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) technique was utilised to measure serum concentrations of antiThyroglobulin (Tg), anti -thyroid peroxidase (TPO), rheumatoid factor (RF), anti-nuclear antibody (ANA) and anticentromeres. Results: The number of women who tested positive for the measured autoantibodies was not statistically significant (p=0.803) between those who had received HA filler (n=10/44, 25%) and the control group (n=11/44, 22.7%). Conclusion: Based on our result HA filler procedures do not induce an autoimmune reaction in women who received HA filler compared to controls. And consequently, HA filler procedures are relatively safe, and these results contradict the findings of other non-controlled works.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To study the effects of hyaluronic acid(HA) and TGF-β1 on the growth of mandibular condylar cartilage and the hyperthophic differentiation of the condylar chondrocyts.Methods:60 condyle samples from newborn mice were in vitro cultured and treated with HA(0.5 mg/ml),TGF-beta 1 (5 ng/ml) and without additional agent(the control) respectively.The Morphological observation,Alizarin Red Staining,Alkaline phosphatase staining and condylar cartilage surface area measurement were conducted after 1,2,4,6 and 8 weeks of culture respectively.Results:High-density photoresist area was observed in the condylar cartilage of the control group after 4 weeks of culture.Alizarin Red Staining and Alkaline phosphatase staining showed condylar cartilage matrix production and calcification.The HA group showed no high-density photoresist area at all time points,however,the cartilage area was significantly increased (P ＜ 0.05);the TGF-beta 1 group showed high-density photoresist area after 2 weeks of culture.but the cartilage area were not significantly changed(P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion:HA can promote the growth of condylar cartilage in vitro,but have an inhibitory effect on chondrocyte differentiation.TGF-β1 plays a role in mandibular condylar chondrocyte hypertrophic differentiation in the early days of in vitro culture.
ABSTRACT
@#ObjectiveTo study the possibility of the liver histioid construction through co-culturing hepatocytes and sinusoidal vessel endothelial cells (SVECs) on hyaluronic acid(HA) scaffold.MethodsHepatocytes and SVECs of a mouse were isolated respectively, and then were cultured successively in HA scaffold. The scaffold-cell complexes formed later were implanted onto the surfaces of liver in the mouse. After 2 weeks, the implants were taken out for HE staining and compatibility evaluation.ResultsThe isolated hepatocytes and SVECs were vigorous. The implants inosculated well with liver tissue of the host with visible growth of blood vessels in the implants. The hepatocyte aggregation grown around the vessels, the liver-like tissue, were observed.ConclusionIt is feasible to construct liver histioid through co-culturing hepatocytes and sinusoidal vessel endothelial cells on hyaluronic acid scaffold.
ABSTRACT
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is an almost essential component of extracellular matrices. Early in embryogenesis mesenchymal cells migrate, proliferate and differentiate, in part, because of the influence of HA. Since the features of embryogenesis are revisited during wound repair, including bone fracture repair, this study was initiated to evaluate whether HA has an effect on calcification and bone formation in an in vitro system of osteogenesis. Mouse calvaria Pre-osteoblast (MC3T3-E1) cells were cultured in alpha-MEM medium with microorganism-derivative hyaluronic acid that was produced by Strep. zooepidemicus which of molecular weight was 3 million units. The dosages were categorized in each 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 mg/ml concentration experimental groups. After 2 and 4 days cultures in expeirmental and control groups, the tendency of cell proliferation, MTT assay, protein synthesis ability, collagen synthesis and alkaline phosphatase activity were analysed and bone nodule formation capacity were measured with Alizarin Red S stain after 29 days cultures. The cell proliferation was increased in time, especially the group of 0.5 and 1.0 mg/ml concentration of HA were showed prominent cell proliferation. After 2 and 4 days culture, experimental groups in general were greater cell activity in MTT assay. The protein synthesis was increased in all experimental groups compared to control group, especially most prominent in 1.0 mg/ml concentration group. The collagen synthesis capacity were increased in HA experimental groups, especially prominent in 1.0 mg/ml group and the activity of alkaline phosphatase were increased, especially also prominent in 1.0 mg/ml group, compared to control group. Above these, the activity of mouse carvarial pre-osteoblast cells was showed greater bone osteogenesis activity in all applied HA experimental group, especially group of 1.0 mg/ml concentration of HA.
