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: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:Ectopic endochondral ossification in the tendon/ligament is caused by repetitive mechanical overload or inflammation. Tendon stem/progenitor cells (TSPCs) contribute to tissue repair and lubrication by producing proteoglycan 4 (Prg4). However, the mechanisms of ectopic ossification and association of TSPCs are not yet known. Here, we investigated the characteristics of Prg4-positive (+) cells and identified that R-spondin 2 (RSPO2), a WNT activator, is specifically expressed in a distinct Prg4+ TSPC cluster. The Rspo2+ cluster was characterized as mostly undifferentiated, and RSPO2 overexpression suppressed ectopic ossification in a mouse Achilles tendon puncture model via chondrogenic differentiation suppression. RSPO2 expression levels in patients with ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament were lower than those in spondylosis patients, and RSPO2 protein suppressed chondrogenic differentiation of human ligament cells. RSPO2 was induced by inflammatory stimulation and mechanical loading via nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB). Rspo2+ cells may contribute to tendon/ligament homeostasis by suppressing chondrogenic differentiation.

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:We used optogenetics to induce skeletal muscle contraction and unilaterally load the Achilles tendon and enthesis in young (i.e., during growth) Acta1Cre;Ai32 mice. We then performed gene expression analysis using data obtained from RNA-seq of optogenetically loaded tendon and enthesis (bone) at two time points.

Project description:Amniotic derived cells are ideal seed cells for regenerative medicine protocols since they conjugate a remarkable plasticity to safety properties. This study investigated the role exerted by human amniotic cells during the process of tendon healing. In particular, in the present research it has been evaluated, by microarray technique, the presence of transcriptome variations in human amniotic epithelial (hAECs) and mesenchymal (hAMCs) stem cells when xenotransplanted into the preclinical ovine model of tendon defect, compared to freshly isolated ones. This analysis allowed to understand in which way, after 28 days transplantation, hAECs and hAMCs transcripts have been affected. Total of 4 experiments.Two-condition experiment, Human amniotic stem cells xenotransplantated in a sheep achilles tendon vs.HAEC/HAMC Biological replicates: 2 Xenotrasplatations. One replicate per array.

Project description:Healing process after connective tissues (CT) injury is complex but important as CT are critical for human moving, and patient outcome of CT injured patients is protracted with high individual variation. Specific markers which could be used for healing prognosis will be great help to monitor patient outcome, and furtherly improve target treatment and patient recovery. Although several common factors like age, gender and body mass index (BMI) were reported to predict ATR healing outcome [references], more specific markers which can be used as predictors of patient outcome after ATR are still lacking. Several biomarkers have been reported to associate with tendon healing, and indicated their relationship with patient outcome(1-4). These results highlight the potential of protein expression detection and analysis for tendon study in general and healing outcome prognosis in particular. Collagen type I (Col1a1) is the main component of Achilles tendon and plays vital role in tendon healing via involving in collagen fibrils production among tendon fibroblasts(5). Higher production of Col1a1 is associated with faster tendon repair(6), previous study on animal model reported the increased Col1a1 synthesis can exert a positive effect on tendon healing[?]. Thus, functional proteins with high impact on Col1a1 can be used not only to improve tendon healing, also can be as targets for healing improvement and outcome prediction. The proteome file of Achilles tendon which is important to increase understanding of tendon healing and help to identify accurate outcome-related biomarkers is however lagged behind. The identification of proteomic profile of Achilles tendon is very much limited in number of proteins and sample size(7-9), and is even few on human. Recent improvement in proteomic assay based on mass spectrometry (MS) made it possible to assemble the proteomic landscape of human tissues(10, 11) with high quality and sensitivity. To characterize the proteomic components in human Achilles tendon, we utilized biopsies from ATR patients with both good and poor 1-year healing outcome. A validated platform including quantitative MS and clinical database was used to identify proteomic landscape and potential bio-predictors of clinical outcome. Our study may provide a more comprehensive landscape of proteins for human Achilles tendon, as well as specific biomarkers which can be used for long term outcome prognosis after ATR.

Project description:Peripheral afferent neurons terminate at the surfaces of tendons, yet their role after injury beyond nociceptive functions remain unclear. Using transgenic animal models, sensory neurons were found to sprout after Achilles tendon injury in domains of Nerve growth factor (NGF) expression. Conditional deletion of Ngf in either myeloid or mesenchymal cell types led to tendon repair defects – findings phenocopied by inactivation of TrkA (Tropomyosin receptor kinase A) using a knockin mouse model. We sought to identify the signals modulated with neural TrkA inhibition. A combination of single cell and spatial transcriptomic analysis was performed on the Achilles injury site of TrkA^F592A animals and compared them to TrkA^WT.
