Mechanisms involved in enhancement of osteoclast formation and function by low molecular weight hyaluronic acid.
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a component of the extracellular matrix that has been shown to play an important role in bone formation, resorption, and mineralization both in vivo and in vitro. We examined the effects of HA at several molecular weights on osteoclast formation and function induced by RANKL (receptor activator of NF-kappa B ligand) in a mouse monocyte cell line (RAW 264.7). HA at M(r) <...
متن کاملInsights into structure, dynamics and hydration of locked nucleic acid (LNA) strand-based duplexes from molecular dynamics simulations
Locked nucleic acid (LNA) is a chemically modified nucleic acid with its sugar ring locked in an RNA-like (C3'-endo) conformation. LNAs show extraordinary thermal stabilities when hybridized with DNA, RNA or LNA itself. We performed molecular dynamics simulations on five isosequential duplexes (LNA-DNA, LNA-LNA, LNA-RNA, RNA-DNA and RNA-RNA) in order to characterize their structure, dynamics an...
متن کاملStructure of water–sulfuric acid clusters from molecular dynamics simulations
Molecular dynamics method is applied to study the structure of stable sulfuric acid–water clusters at various compositions. Also a planar liquid–vapor interface is studied. Two different potential models were used. In the simpler model, sulfuric acid (H 2 SO 4 ) remains in an undissociated state. A more realistic scheme requires that in the presence of water (H 2 O) H 2 SO 4 protonates to form ...
متن کاملDeducing hydration sites of a protein from molecular dynamics simulations.
Invariant water molecules that are of structural or functional importance to proteins are detected from their presence in the same location in different crystal structures of the same protein or closely related proteins. In this study we have investigated the location of invariant water molecules from MD simulations of ribonuclease A, HIV1-protease and Hen egg white lysozyme. Snapshots of MD tr...
متن کاملHigh Molecular Weight Hyaluronic Acid Inhibits Fibrosis of Endometrium
BACKGROUND Elevated fibrosis has been found in patients with intrauterine adhesion, which indicates that fibrotic factors may play a critical role in formation of intrauterine adhesion. The aim of this study was to identify the effect of hyaluronic acid (HA) at high and low molecular weight on fibrosis of the endometrium in a mouse model of Asherman's syndrome. MATERIAL AND METHODS Endometrial ...
