Hyaluronan suppresses IL-1beta-induced metalloproteinase activity from synovial tissue.
Clinical Orthopaedics and related Research 2007 December
Intraarticular injection of hyaluronan (viscosupplementation) is commonly used to treat knee pain from osteoarthritis. The therapeutic benefit might derive from hyaluronan inhibition of the activity of the cytokine-regulated catabolic enzymes that attack joint cartilage (matrix metalloproteinases). We tested the hypothesis that hyaluronan inhibited interleukin-1beta-induced matrix metalloproteinase activity secreted by explants of synovial tissue from patients with osteoarthritis and investigated the mechanism of the effect. Hyaluronan with a molecular mass of 12.8 MDa (number average) antagonized induced metalloproteinase activity in proportion to hyaluronan concentration in the clinically relevant range of 2 to 8 mg/mL. The effect was not attributable solely to molecular mass because 1.2-MDa hyaluronan produced comparable inhibition. Based on measurements involving hyaluronans of different average molecular masses, polydispersity and viscosity were similarly ruled out as primary responsible factors. The effect of hyaluronan on induced metalloproteinase activity was mediated partially by CD44, the principal cell surface receptor for hyaluronan. Hyaluronan inhibited interleukin-1beta-induced metalloproteinase production from osteoarthritic synovial tissue by a process that was not solely dependent on hyaluronan molecular mass but that was partly mediated by hyaluronan binding to CD44. The efficacy of viscosupplementation could be explained if hyaluronan also blocked catabolic enzyme activity in the joint.
