  • Title: Hyaluronic acid modulates glioma cell proliferation through its interaction with CD44H in vitro.
    Author: Koochekpour S, Pilkington G.
    Journal: Oncol Rep; 1996 Jan; 3(1):133-5. PubMed ID: 21594330.
    Abstract:
    In a recent study we showed that hyaluronic acid (HA) induces cell detachment and promotes migration and invasion of glioma cells in vitro through its interaction with the cell surface molecule CD44H. In this study, the role of HA in proliferation in eight human glioma-derived cell Lines was investigated. We demonstrate that HA exerts a dose dependent proliferative and anti-proliferative effect on glioma cells. This effect was found to be partially counteracted by a CD44H monoclonal antibody, suggesting the involvement of its high affinity receptor, CD44H and other HA receptors in this process.
