Hyaluronan Depolymerization by Megakaryocyte Hyaluronidase-2 Is Required for Thrombopoiesis

Abstract: Hyaluronan is the predominant glycosaminoglycan component of the extracellular matrix with an emerging role in hematopoiesis. Modulation of hyaluronan polymer size is responsible for its control over cellular functions, and the balance of hyaluronan synthesis and degradation determines its molecular size. Although two active somatic hyaluronidases are expressed in mammals, only deficiency in hyaluronidase-2 (Hyal-2) results in thrombocytopenia of unknown mechanism. Our results reveal that Hyal-2 knockout mice … Show more

“…Thus, HA most likely acts as an insulating coat or spatial buffer, permitting lowmolecular-weight molecules such as electrolytes and nutrients to diffuse, but blocking high-molecularweight proteins or even cells from reaching the cell surface, as elegantly demonstrated in the red blood cell exclusion assay [14]. Further, the endothelial HA glycocalyx prevents inflammatory cells from directly interacting with the endothelium by maintaining a nonadhesive surface and, in platelets, HA prevents adherence and degranulation [15]. Degradation of HA, however, reduces its barrier function thus making the HA matrix much more permeable and accessible to cell interactions.…”

“…Hyal2 deficiency leads to high pre-weaning mortality as well as long-term cardiopulmonary dysfunction by 3 months of age. Additionally, Hyal2 is necessary for thrombopoiesis [15]. PH20 (or SPAM1), initially characterized as a hyaluronidase active at neutral and acidic pHs, is critical for fertilization of the oocyte by sperm.…”

“…The importance of HA in HSC homing and hematopoiesis was further examined using hyaluronan synthase ( Has1‐3 ) knockout mice [Goncharova et al, ], which confirmed previous reports. More recently, the role of HA has also been revealed in megakaryocyte maturation and proplatelet formation [Petrey et al, ]. Similar to HA, the glycoprotein TNC was shown to affect HSC migration, homing, distribution, adhesion, lineage commitment as well as reconstitution potential [Nakamura‐Ishizu et al, ; Ellis et al, ].…”

“…Hyal2 -deficient mice exhibit accumulation of extremely large HA molecules in tissues and in circulation, and this contributes to the development of chronic thrombotic microangiopathy (Onclinx et al, 2015) and mild craniofacial and vertebral abnormalities (Bourguignon and Flamion, 2016). Megakaryocyte-derived HYAL-2 causes HA degradation, which is needed for thrombopoiesis (Petrey et al, 2016). HYAL-3 lacks an intrinsic hyaluronidase activity in somatic cells in vivo , whereas it participates in the hyaluronan metabolism by augmenting the activity of HYAL-1 (Hemming et al, 2008).…”
