Project description:Regenerative medicine approaches utilizing stem cells offer a promising strategy to address tendinopathy, a class of common tendon disorders associated with pain and impaired function. Tendon progenitor cells (TPCs) are important in healing and maintaining tendon tissues. Here we provide a comprehensive single cell transcriptomic profiling of TPCs from three normal and three clinically classified tendinopathy samples in response to mechanical stimuli. Analysis reveals seven distinct TPC subpopulations including subsets that are responsive to the mechanical stress, highly clonogenic, and specialized in cytokine or growth factor expression. The single cell transcriptomic profiling of TPCs and their subsets serves as a foundation for further investigation into the pathology and molecular hallmarks of tendinopathy in mechanical stimulation conditions.

Project description:De- and re-differentiation represent phenotypic transitions that may contribute to loss of function in ageing musculoskeletal tissues. Applying a systems biology network analysis approach to global gene expression profiles derived from common in vitro culture systems (monolayer and three-dimensional cultures) this study demonstrates common regulatory mechanisms governing de- and re-differentiation transitions in cartilage and tendon cells. Furthermore, evidence of convergence of gene expression profiles during monolayer expansion, and the expression of key developmental markers, challenges the physiological relevance of this culture system.

Project description:Tendinopathy is a common disease in individuals whose tendons suffer from repetitive strains, such as athletes. The lack of knowledge regarding the pathological mechanisms causes inadequate prevention methods and low cure rate of this disease. Repetitive strain injury is thought to be the source of tendinopathy; therefore, we investigate the effect of mechanical loading on tendon and seek the ways to prevent and treat tendinopathy better. In our study, we found that the expression of a mechanosensitive miRNA, miR-337-3p, decreased in tendon-derived stem cells (TDSCs) under uniaxial cyclical mechanical loading with 10% elongation. In addition, miR-337-3p was negatively related to chondro-osteogenic differentiation of TDSCs, in which lower expression was found in human calcified tendons and rat tendinopathy samples.

Project description:Tendinopathy, the most common disorder affecting tendons, is characterized by chronic disorganization of the tendon matrix, which eventually leads to tendon tear and rupture. The goal of this study was to identify a rational molecular target whose blockade can serve as a potential therapeutic intervention for tendinopathy. We identified C1q/TNF-related protein-3 (CTRP3) as a markedly upregulated cytokine in human and rodent tendinopathy. Overexpression of CTRP3 enhanced the progression of tendinopathy by accumulating cartilaginous proteoglycans and degenerating collagenous fibers in the mouse tendon, whereas CTRP3 knockdown suppressed the tendinopathy pathogenesis. Functional blockade of CTRP3 using a neutralizing antibody ameliorated overuse-induced tendinopathy of the Achilles and rotator cuff tendons. Mechanistically, CTRP3 elicited a transcriptomic pattern that stimulates abnormal differentiation of tendon stem/progenitor cells (TSPCs) and ectopic chondrification in tendons, as an effect linked to activation of Akt signaling. Collectively, we reveal an essential role for CTRP3 in tendinopathy and propose a potential therapeutic strategy for the treatment of tendinopathy.

Project description:Chronic tendon injuries, also known as tendinopathy, are common among professional and recreational athletes. These injuries result in a significant amount of morbidity and health care expenditure and yet little is known about the molecular mechanism leading to tendinopathy. We have used histological evaluation and molecular profiling to determine the gene expression changes in 23 human patients undergoing surgical procedures for the treatment of chronic tendinopathy. Diseased tendons have altered extracellular matrix, fiber disorientation, increased cellular content and vasculature and the absence of inflammatory cells. Global gene expression profiling identified 1783 transcripts with significant different expression patterns in the diseased tendons. Global pathway analysis further suggests altered expression of extracellular matrix proteins and the lack of an appreciable inflammatory response. We have identified pathways and genes regulated in tendinopathy samples that will help contribute to the understanding of the disease towards the development of novel therapeutics. A prospective study was initiated to collect tissue from patients undergoing surgery as standard of care for tendinopathy. Biopsies (~3mm^3) of diseased tendons as well as a section of grossly normal appearing tendon were collected from 23 patients. Written informed consent was obtained from all patients prior to any study related procedure.

Project description:Tendons play fundamental role in the musculoskeletal system and locomotion by transferring forces generated by muscles to the skeleton. Tendon injuries can occur due to sports related incidents, as a result of trauma to overuse or during disease or ageing and are among the leading causes of musculoskeletal disability. Scleraxis is a marker of the tendon lineage and appears to be induced at the earliest stage of specification of this lineage, however little is known how scleraxis is modulating tendon growth activity. This study aimed to investigate how scleraxis modulates tendon cells activity.

Project description:Tendinopathy is characterized by rupture, pain, or loss of tendon strength. Previous basic and clinical investigations have clarified multiple risk factors, including aging and fluoroquinolone use; however, the etiology remains unclear. We combined real-world data analysis with pharmacological experiments to overcome the gap between basic and clinical research. Analyses of self-reported adverse event databases and the US commercial claims database revealed that dexamethasone prevented fluoroquinolone-induced and age-related tendinopathy. Experimental validation suggested that co-treatment with dexamethasone attenuated pefloxacin-induced mechanical fragility in rat tendons. RNA-seq was conducted to further investigate the molecular mechanism of tendinopathy, focusing on fluoroquinolone.

Project description:Tendons play fundamental role in the musculoskeletal system and locomotion by transferring forces generated by muscles to the skeleton. Chronic tendon injuries and diseases are among the leading causes of musculoskeletal disability. For many types of tendinopathies, women have worse clinical outcomes than men. It is possible that tendon sex-based differences in protein composition are related to an altered injury response. The aim of this study was to compare the proteome of male and female tendon using label-free protein quantification. These data could provide new insight into pathways which may beinvolved in tendinopathies, and potentially in the differential injury response of female tendon.

Project description:Tendon is a hypocellular tissue that contains functional cable-like units of type I collagen responsible for the transmission of force from muscle to bone. In the setting of injury or disease, patients can develop chronic tendinopathies that are characterized by pain, loss of function and persistent inflammatory changes that are often difficult to treat. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has shown promise in the treatment of chronic tendinopathy, but little is known about the mechanisms by which PRP can improve tendon healing. PRP contains many different growth factors and cytokines, and since these proteins can both activate and inhibit various signaling pathways it has been challenging to determine precisely which signaling pathways and cellular responses are most important. Using state-of-the-art bioinformatics tools and genome wide-expression profiling, the purpose of this study was to determine the signaling pathways activated within cultured tendon fibroblasts in response to PRP treatment. Tendon fibroblasts were isolated from rat tail tendons and embedded in 3D type I collagen gels. Cells were treated with PRP or PPP for 24 hours, and total RNA was extracted for hybridization on Affymetrix arrays.
