Strained cells also showed increased activity for uridine diphospho-glucose dehydrogenase and expressed higher levels of the hyaluronan-binding protein CD44 at 24 h. In addition, at 24 h mRNA for HA synthase 2 was expressed in all samples whereas mRNA for HA synthase 3 was only expressed in strained cells.
