1 Accumulation of extracellular hyaluronan by hyaluronan synthase 3 promotes tumor growth and modulates the pancreatic cancer microenvironment. Hyaluronic Acid hyaluronan synthase 3 Homo sapiens
2 Overexpression of HAS3 increased hyaluronan synthesis in BxPC-3 pancreatic cancer cells. Hyaluronic Acid hyaluronan synthase 3 Homo sapiens
3 In vivo, overexpression of HAS3 led to faster growing xenograft tumors with abundant extracellular hyaluronan accumulation. Hyaluronic Acid hyaluronan synthase 3 Homo sapiens
4 In conclusion, hyaluronan accumulation by HAS3 favors pancreatic cancer growth, at least in part by decreasing epithelial cell adhesion, and PEGPH20 inhibits these changes and suppresses tumor growth. Hyaluronic Acid hyaluronan synthase 3 Homo sapiens
