Activated macrophages play a critical role in
controlling chronic tissue inflammation through the release of a
variety of mediators including cytokines, chemokines, growth factors,
active lipids, reactive oxygen, and nitrogen species. The mechanisms that regulate macrophage activation in chronic inflammation are poorly
understood. A hallmark of chronic inflammation is the turnover of
extracellular matrix components, and recent work has suggested that
interactions with the extracellular matrix can exert important influences on macrophage effector functions. We have examined the
effect of low molecular weight fragments of the extracellular matrix
glycosaminoglycan hyaluronan (HA) on the induction of nitric-oxide synthase (iNOS) in macrophages. We found that HA fragments induce iNOS
mRNA, protein and activity alone, and markedly synergize with
interferon-
to induce iNOS gene expression in murine macrophages. In
addition, we found that resident tissue alveolar macrophages respond
minimally, but inflammatory alveolar macrophages exhibit a marked
induction in iNOS expression in response to HA fragments. Finally, we
demonstrate that the mechanism of HA fragment-induced expression of
iNOS requires activation of the transcriptional regulator nuclear
factor
B. These data support the hypothesis that HA may be an
important regulator of macrophage activation at sites of chronic tissue
inflammation.
