ABSTRACT: Background
Evidence suggests that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are safe for treating different tendinopathies. Synovial fluid is a pooled environment of biomarkers from the inflammatory and degenerative joint cavity. Understanding the effects of synovial fluid on MSCs is important, as it is the first microenvironment that administered MSCs encounter. Several studies have reported that exposure to osteoarthritic synovial fluid-activated MSCs increased the release of soluble factors; however, the paracrine effects of shoulder synovial fluid-stimulated umbilical cord-derived MSCs (SF-UC-MSCs) on tendinopathy have yet to be investigated.Purpose
To assess the effects of the conditioned media from SF-UC-MSCs on tenocytes from degenerative rotator cuff tears in an interleukin-1β
