Persistent inflammation is a well-known determinant of progressive tissue fibrosis; however, the mechanisms underlying this process remain unclear. There is growing evidence indicating a role of the cytokine IL-1 beta in profibrotic responses. We previously demonstrated that fibroblasts stimulated with IL-1 beta increased their generation of the polysaccharide hyaluronan (HA) and increased their expression of the HA synthase enzyme (HAS-2). The aim of this study was to determine the significance of IL-1 beta- induced changes in HA and HAS-2 generation. In this study, we found that stimulation of fibroblasts with IL-1 beta results in the relocalization of HA associated with the cell to the outer cell membrane, where it forms HAS2- and CD44-dependent cell membrane protrusions. CD44 is concentrated within the membrane protrusions, where it co-localizes with the intracellular adhesion molecule 1. Furthermore, we have identified that these cell protrusions enhance IL-1 beta-dependent fibroblast-monocyte binding through MAPK/ERK signaling. Although previous data have indicated the importance of the HA-binding protein TSG-6 in maintaining the transforming growth factor beta 1-dependent HA coat, TSG-6 was not essential for the formation of the IL-1 beta-dependent HA protrusions, thus identifying it as a key difference between IL-1 beta- and transforming growth factor beta 1-dependent HA matrices. In summary, these data suggest that IL-1 beta-dependent HA generation plays a role in fibroblast immune activation, leading to sequestration of monocytes within inflamed tissue and providing a possible mechanism for perpetual inflammation.
