Intra-articular injection of hyaluronan HA may be considered a potential way to treat RA. However the exact molecular mechanism of HA on decreased cellular responses to hypoxic environment is unclear. The present study has been designed to use the adjuvant-induced arthritis model to examine the effects of HA on the changes of immunohistochemical expressions of hypoxia-inducible factor-1alpha HIF-1alpha inducible nitric oxide synthase iNOS and matrix metalloproteinase-3 MMP3 in the synovial tissues at the early phase of arthritic inflammation. Methods Monoarthritis was induced in adult male Sprague-Dawley 250-300 g via intraarticular injection of complete Freund s adjuvant CFA into the tibiotarsal joint. The CFA-induction arthritis animals were divided into three groups treatment intraarticular injection of HA placebo intraarticular injection of saline and controls no treatments . Functional evaluations of edema and pain behavior histology and HIF-1alpha iNOS and MMP3 immunohistochemistry were performed before after the first injection three injections and on the follow-up injection of the treatments. Results Intra-articular injection of HA also significantly suppressed the mechanical allodynia p and overexpressions of HIF-1alpha p iNOS p and MMP3 p immunoreactivity in synovium. Conclusions This study demonstrated that early intervention of HA is an effective protection against accumulation of inflammation-induced HIF-1alpha iNOS and MMP3 to limit erosive damage in .
