摘要:
The effect of sodium hyaluronate on the production of migration inhibitory factor (MIF) was studied in a two step MIF-assay.High molecular weight sodium hyaluronate (100 ug/ml), added during the inductory step of the MIF-assay, inhibited the production of MIF. The inhibitory effect did not appear to be due to physical factors such as steric hindrance, which may prevent mitogen binding, since cells pre-activated with phytohemagglutinin A (PHA) did not produce MIF when incubated in the presence of sodium hyaluronate. The inhibitory effect was still measurable when the sodium hyaluronate was added upto two hours after stimulation of the mononuclear cells with PHA. Inhibition was also found when the cells were preincubated with sodium hyaluronate, and washed prior to mitogen stimulation. Sodium hyaluronate could only be removed from the cells by incubation with hyaluronidase or by incubation of the cells for at least two hours in culture medium, whereafter the cells could be stimulated to the same extent as normal untreated cells to produce MIF.This inhibitory effect on cytokine production may explain the reduced inflammatory reactions found both in vivo and in vitro in the presence of sodium hyaluronate.
