Response of cardiovascular environment to sulfonated hyaluronic acid with higher sulfur content

Sulfonated hyaluronic acid (S-HA) has been shown to promote endothelialization in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases according to amounts of investigations. In this study, two kinds of S-HA with higher sulfur content were obtained successfully. Through a series of cell experiments, it was found that the S-HA with higher sulfur content not only possessed stronger ability of promoting the growth and migration of endothelial cells, regulating the phenotype of smooth muscle cells, but also had stronger anti-inflammatory function. Furthermore, all the S-HA molecules are very compatible with blood.
