Abstract: | In this report, the role of 34 kDa HA-binding protein in hyaluronic acid-induced cellular signalling in lymphocytes has been examined. The binding of 125I-HA to lymphocytes in vivo was found to be inhibited by pre-incubation of the cells with anti-34 kDa HA-binding protein antibodies, thus confirming 34 kDa HA-binding protein as the specific HA-receptor in lymphocytes. This observation was substantiated by anti-34 kDa HA-binding protein antibodies immunoblotting and 125I-HA ligand blotting of lymphocytes cell lysate. The HA-induced cell aggregation, tyrosine phosphorylation and cytoskeletal protein phosphorylation demonstrate the HA-induced early cellular signalling events in lymphocytes. Further, to study the involvement of 34 kDa HA-binding protein in mitogen induced lymphocyte signalling, we studied in vivo phosphorylation and secondary messenger formation. The enhanced 34 kDa HA-binding protein phosphorylation by HA and the inhibition of cellular aggregation and IP3 formation by anti-HA-binding protein antibodies revealed that 34 kDa HA-binding protein is one of the potential mediators in HA-induced signal transduction. |
