Epidermal keratinocytes regulate hyaluronan metabolism via extracellularly secreted hyaluronidase 1 and hyaluronan synthase 3.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Hyaluronan (HA) is a high-molecular-weight (HMW) glycosaminoglycan, which is a fundamental component of the extracellular matrix that is involved in a variety of biological processes. We previously showed that the HYBID/KIAA1199/CEMIP axis plays a key role in the depolymerization of HMW-HA in normal human dermal fibroblasts (NHDFs). However, its roles in normal human epidermal keratinocytes (NHEKs) remained unclear. HYBID mRNA expression in NHEKs was lower than that in NHDFs, and NHEKs showed no depolymerization of extracellular HMW-HA in culture, indicating that HYBID does not contribute to extracellular HA degradation. In this study, we found that the cell-free conditioned medium of NHEKs degraded HMW-HA under weakly acidic conditions (pH 4.8). This degrading activity was abolished by hyaluronidase 1 (HYAL1) knockdown but not by HYAL2 knockdown. Newly synthesized HYAL1 was mainly secreted extracellularly, and the secretion of HYAL1 was increased during differentiation, suggesting that epidermal interspace HA is physiologically degraded by HYAL1 according to pH decrease during stratum corneum formation. In HA synthesis, hyaluronan synthase 3 (HAS3) knockdown reduced HA production by NHEKs, and interferon-γ-dependent HA synthesis was correlated with increased HAS3 expression. Furthermore, HA production was increased by TMEM2 knockdown through enhanced HAS3 expression. These results indicate that NHEKs regulate HA metabolism via HYAL1 and HAS3, and TMEM2 is a regulator of HAS3-dependent HA production.
