The effects of peripheral blood monocyte and rheumatoid synovial fluid macrophage conditioned media were studied on hyaluronic acid (HA) metabolism of normal synovial fibroblasts. Both media stimulated HA synthesis about two-fold compared to controls (1% fetal calf serum). The activated mononuclear phagocyte conditioned media did not contain HA-degrading activity in these experiments. The effects of various concentrations of interleukin-1 (IL-1) on HA synthesis and proliferation of synovial fibroblasts were studied. Even at very low concentrations (0.1 IU IL-1/ml) HA synthesis was stimulated. With increasing concentrations HA synthesis did not increase but proliferation was stimulated. Stimulated fibroblasts synthesized mainly high molecular weight HA. Thus with IL-1-activation, normal synovial fibroblasts could not produce increased amounts of abnormal HA with decreased molecular weight.
