Project description:Open tenotomy of the Achilles tendon of 6 rats was performed. The animals were divided into two groups according to exposure of PM2.5 (particulate matter less than 2.5 µm): control group (Non-PM group) or PM exposure group (PM group). After 6 weeks of PM exposure, the tendon DNA was extracted and anlyzed. Genome-wide DNA methylation profiles were determinen. DNA amplicons were prepared using Differential Methylation Hybridization (DMH) method, subsequently hybridized on to the Customized Agilent Rat CpG island Microarray. The goal was to unravel the DNA methylation patterns in different subgropus of tendon tissue according to partciulate matter exposure.

Project description:Skeletal muscle atrophy is a consequence of many diseases, environmental insults, inactivity, age and injury. Atrophy is characterized by active degradation and removal of contractile proteins and a reduction in fiber size. Animal models have been extensively used to identify pathways leading to atrophic conditions. Here we have used genome-wide expression profiling analysis and quantitative PCR to identify the molecular changes that occur in two clinically relevant animal mouse models of muscle atrophy, hindlimb casting and Achilles tendon laceration (tenotomy). Gastrocnemius muscle samples were collected 2, 7 and 14 days after insult. The total amount of muscle loss as measured by wet weight and muscle fiber size was equivalent between models, although tenotomy resulted in a more rapid induction of muscle atrophy. Furthermore, tentomy resulted in the regulation of significantly more mRNA transcripts then casting. Analysis of the regulated genes and pathways suggest that the mechanism of atrophy is distinct between these models. The degradation following casting appears ubiquitin-proteasome-mediated while degradation following tenotomy appears lysosomal and matrix-metalloproteinase (MMP)-mediated. This data suggests that there are multiple mechanisms leading to muscle atrophy and that specific therapeutic agents may be necessary to combat the atrophy seen under different conditions. Muscle atrophy was induced through two methods; unloading induced by tendon laceration (Tenotomy) and immobilization induced by hindlimb casting (Casting). For the tenotomy, eight week old male C57/B6 mice were anesthetized by ether inhalation and subsequent intramuscular injection of ketamine-xylazine (0.1 ml/g). The right Achilles tendon just proximal to the calcaneus was severed with a sterile scalpel. The mice were allowed to recover and move freely about their cage. An additional cohort of animals was sham operated (Sham) which involved isolation and manipulation of the Achilles tendon without laceration. For the casting, the right hindlimbs of eight week old male C57Bl/6 mice were immobilized through casting. After 2, 7 or 14 days, animals were sacrificed and the left and right gastrocnemius muscles were carefully removed, flash frozen in liquid nitrogen, and stored at -80°C for further processing. The left untreated legs served as controls. A group of naïve animals that received no treatment or manipulation was included as an additional control. Each group consisted of between 5 and 10 samples for a total of 111 individual samples.

Project description:We have compared the gene expression profile of rat Achilles tendon-derived stem cells in post-natal tendon development. Rat tendon stem/progenitor cells (TSPCs) were isolated at different stages of post-natal development: TSPCs-1d, TSPCs-7d and TSPCs-56d.

Project description:To investigate which mRNA and miRNA are involved in Dicer KO mouse tendon hypoplasticity, we performed RNA-seq and small RNA-seq using RNA from Achilles tendon of Cont (Dicer f/f), Scx HT (ScxCre/+ Knock In:Dicer +/+) and Dicer KO (ScxCre/+ Knock In:Dicer f/f) mice at 4 weeks of age. Achilles tendon from 4-week-old female mice was harvested, RNA was isolated using an RNA extraction kit. RNA libraries were generated and sequenced by K. K. DNAFORM (Tokyo, Japan). The libraries were sequenced by Illumina HISEQ4000 using Illumina provided protocol. Differential gene expression was analyzed with R Bioconductor DESeq2. We found that a large portion of tendon-fibroblast characteristic genes was downregulated in Dicer KO mice Achilles tendon compared to Cont and Scx HT.

Project description:We have compared the gene expression profile of rat Achilles tendon-derived stem cells in post-natal tendon development. Rat tendon stem/progenitor cells (TSPCs) were isolated at different stages of post-natal development: TSPCs-1d, TSPCs-7d and TSPCs-56d. TSPCs at different post-natal development stages (1d, 7d and 56d) were isolated, cultured and used for microarray analyses at passage 2. All TSPCs in this study were of isolated from more than one individual. Total RNA was extracted and fragmented biotin-tagged cRNA was hybridized to Rat Genome 230 2.0 Array.

Project description:Tendon is a highly aligned connective tissue, in which the macro-structure consists of collagen-rich fascicles surrounded by interfascicular matrix (IFM). In a series of recent studies in equine tissue, we have demonstrated specialisation of tendon composition, structure and mechanics to achieve the tendon’s functional requirements, specifically reporting extensive specialisation of the IFM region in the energy storing superficial digital flexor tendon. We have also demonstrated loss of functional specialisms with ageing, leading to a hypothesised new paradigm for tendinopathy, focused on the importance of the IFM. However, to date, there have been no studies focused on structure-function specialisation or the IFM in functionally distinct human tendons. Here, we compare the positional anterior tibialis tendon and energy storing Achilles tendon, performing a detailed analysis of the composition and mechanical properties of both fascicle and IFM regions, to test the hypothesis that the IFM in the energy storing Achilles tendon has specialised composition and mechanical properties, and that these specialisations are lost with ageing. We demonstrate that the IFM is specialised in the energy storing Achilles tendon, with greater elasticity and fatigue resistance than in the positional anterior tibialis tendon. While there were few age-related alterations in mechanics, we did identify age-related alterations in the IFM proteome of the Achilles tendon specifically, which is predicted to be regulated by TGF-beta signalling and may be responsible for the trend towards decreased fatigue resistance observed in the Achilles IFM with ageing.

Project description:Injury was induced in the left Achilles tendon by needle puncture. Rats were sacrificed 4 and 21 days post injury. Shams, in which the tendon was isolated but not punctured, were included as controls. Serum was collected post-mortem and RNAseq used to identify differentially expressed ncRNAs.
