| Research Abstract |
We analyzed the effects of inflammatory mediator on hyaluronan synthesis by human gingival fibroblasts. IL-1β and TGFβ increased the hyaluronan productions and the proportion of high molecular weight of hyaluronan. TGFβ-activated gingival fibroblast produced the highest polymerization followed by IL-1 β-stimulated gingival fibroblasts which were more than unstimulated fibroblasts.
This result was consistent with the observation that IL-1β up-regulated the HAS1, 2, and 3 mRNA, TGFβ enhanced only HAS1mRNA, since HAS1 is reported to produce high molecular weight of hyaluronan.
Hyal 1, 2, and 3 were not altered by both IL-1β and TGFβ.
Activation of human gingival epithelial cells with both IL-1β and TNFa or 2-CADO, adenosine receptor agonist, resulted in the elevation of iNOS mRNA and NO_2 and NO_3, stable NO derivatives. Since it is reported that NO and peroxynitrite, its metabolite, depolymerized high molecular weight hyaluronan to low molecular size, it is speculated that low molecular weight of hyaluronan was accumulated during inflammatory lesion.
In turn, it seems that depolymerized hyaluronan which was recently recognized as a proimflammatory mediator deteriorate the inflammation.
