The carbohydrate polymer, hyaluronan, is a major component of the extracellular matrix in animal tissues. Exogenous hyaluronan has been used to treat osteoarthritis (OA), a degenerative joint disease involving inflammatory changes. The underlying mechanisms of hyaluronan in OA are not fully understood. Pro-inflammatory interleukin (IL)-1 beta downregulates peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR gamma), and increases expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) which are responsible for the degeneration of articular cartilage. The effects of low- and high-molecular-weight hyaluronan (oligo-HA and HMW-HA) on the inflammatory genes were determined in human SW-1353 chondrosarcoma cells. HMW-HA antagonized the effects of IL-1 beta by increasing PPAR gamma and decreasing cyclooxygenase (COX)-2. MMP-1, and MMP-13 levels. It promoted Akt, but suppressed mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) and nuclear factor kappa B (NF kappa B) signaling, indicating anti-inflammatory effects. In contrast, the cells had overall opposite responses to oligo-HA. In conclusion, HMW-HA and oligo-HA exerted differential inflammatory responses via PPAR gamma in IL-1 beta-treated chondrosarcoma cells.
