Adenovirus-mediated gene transfer of mutated IkappaB kinase and IkappaBalpha reveal NF-kappaB-dependent as well as NF-kappaB-independent pathways of HAS1 activation.

Abstract excerpt

It has become increasingly clear that hyaluronan is more than the simple matrix molecule it was once thought to be but instead takes part in a multitude of biological functions. Three genes encode for hyaluronan synthases (HAS). We demonstrated earlier that HAS2 and HAS3 are constitutively activated in type-B synoviocytes (fibroblast-like synoviocytes) and, furthermore, that the only gene that readily responds to...
