drug development | inhibition of hyaluronan synthase 3-dependent synthesis of hyaluronan dampens systemic Th1 cell polarization and reduces plaque inflammation. Hyaluronan synthase 3 might be a promising therapeutic target in atherosclerosis. Because hyaluronan synthase 3 is regulated by IL-1beta, therapeutic anti-IL-1beta antibodies, may exert their beneficial effects on inflammation in post-myocardial infarction patients in part via effects on hyaluronan synthase 3 | Mus musculus |

malfunction | Has3/Apoe double deficient mice develop less atherosclerosis characterized by decreased Th1-cell responses, decreased IL-12 release, and decreased macrophage-driven inflammation | Mus musculus |
physiological function | hyaluronan synthase 3 promotes plaque inflammation and atheroprogression. Hyaluronan synthase 3 expression in vascular smooth muscle cells is found to be regulated by interleukin 1 beta (IL-1beta) in an NFkappaB dependent manner | Mus musculus |
