Stimulation of Hyaluronan Synthetase by Platelet-Derived Growth Factor bb in Human Prostate Smooth Muscle Cells

Abstract: Hyaluronic acid (HA) is an important component of the extracellular matrix of prostate cells. Platelet-derived growth factor bb (PDGFbb) has a mitogenic effect on prostate stromal cells. The effect of PDGFbb on HA production by smooth muscle cells from normal and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) tissue was studied to elucidate the role of these two factors in BPH. The basal level of HA released into the cell media was greater in BPH cells. PDGFbb increases HA production in normal and BPH smooth muscle cells.… Show more

“…HA is found in prostate ECM in both benign and malignant pathology (De Klerk 1983; Pullen et al 2001; Misra et al 2006; Simpson and Lokeshwar 2008). HA size has differential effects on cell behavior that relate to its chain length: newly synthesized HA has a high MW(up to 2×10 4 kDa) and can inhibit a variety of cellular processes (Goldberg and Toole 1987; Bharadwaj et al 2007; Tian et al 2013).…”

“…Far less is known about the influence of HA on prostate hyperplasia. An increase in total HA expression and variability of HA size is a feature of benign prostate disease (De Klerk 1983; Goulas et al 2000; Pullen et al 2001). Given the complex nature of prostate ECM, the use of ECM extracts is particularly advantageous for studies of specific components, such as HA, that influence the behaviors of prostate epithelial cells.…”

“…Besides its mitogenic effects, there is some evidence that PDGF-BB stimulates the biosynthesis of hyaluronan, one of the most studied and applied anti-adhesives (Meier and an important lubricant of the intrasynovial fluid in healthy tendons. Biosynthesis of hyaluronan, as a result of PDGF-BB application, has been reported for tenocytes (Thomopoulos et al, 2009), as well as for prostate smooth muscle cells (Pullen et al, 2001), cardiomyocytes (Hellman et al, 2010) and temporomandibular joint disc-derived cells (Hanaoka et al, 2006). The application at the wound site of a sustainable, releasing, PDGF-BB-loaded device, not only accelerated wound healing 1 and 2 weeks post-surgery , but also enhanced significantly the gliding of the tendons, as found 3 weeks post-intervention .…”

“…Platelet-derived growth factor, in particular, has been shown to stimulate fibroblast proliferation and matrix and hyaluronan biosynthesis, 2,[5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] leading to an improved repair response. In the context of flexor tendon repair, increased matrix synthesis may lead to improved structural properties (eg, strength), and increased hyaluronan may lead to improved functional properties (eg, range of motion).…”
