J Orthop Res 2024; 42:961-972. [PMID: 37990927 DOI: 10.1002/jor.25745] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/22/2023] [Revised: 11/15/2023] [Accepted: 11/20/2023] [Indexed: 11/23/2023]
Abstract
Chordae tendineae, referred to as heart tendinous cords, act as tendons connecting the papillary muscles to the valves in the heart. Their role is analogous to tendons in the musculoskeletal system. Despite being exposed to millions of cyclic tensile stretches over a human's lifetime, chordae tendineae rarely suffer from overuse injuries. On the other hand, musculoskeletal tendinopathy is very common and remains challenging in clinical treatment. The objective of this study was to investigate the mechanism behind the remarkable durability and resistance to overuse injuries of chordae tendineae, as well as to explore their effects on flexor tenocyte biology. The messenger RNA expression profiles of chordae tendineae were analyzed using RNA sequencing and verified by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction and immunohistochemistry. Interestingly, we found that periostin (Postn) and fibroblast growth factor 7 (FGF7) were expressed at significantly higher levels in chordae tendineae, compared to flexor tendons. We further treated flexor tenocytes in vitro with periostin and FGF7 to examine their effects on the proliferation, migration, apoptosis, and tendon-related gene expression of flexor tenocytes. The results displayed enhanced cell proliferation ability at an early stage and an antiapoptotic effect on tenocytes, while treated with periostin and/or FGF7 proteins. Furthermore, there was a trend of promoted tenocyte migration capability. These findings indicated that Postn and FGF7 may represent novel cytokines to target flexor tendon healing. Clinical significance: The preliminary discovery leads to a novel idea for treating tendinopathy in the musculoskeletal system using specific molecules identified from chordae tendineae.

Najafi Z, Rahmanian-Devin P, Baradaran Rahimi V, Nokhodchi A, Askari VR. Challenges and opportunities of medicines for treating tendon inflammation and fibrosis: A comprehensive and mechanistic review. Fundam Clin Pharmacol 2024:e12999. [PMID: 38468183 DOI: 10.1111/fcp.12999] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/16/2023] [Revised: 01/20/2024] [Accepted: 02/19/2024] [Indexed: 03/13/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Tendinopathy refers to conditions characterized by collagen degeneration within tendon tissue, accompanied by the proliferation of capillaries and arteries, resulting in reduced mechanical function, pain, and swelling. While inflammation in tendinopathy can play a role in preventing infection, uncontrolled inflammation can hinder tissue regeneration and lead to fibrosis and impaired movement. OBJECTIVES The inability to regulate inflammation poses a significant limitation in tendinopathy treatment. Therefore, an ideal treatment strategy should involve modulation of the inflammatory process while promoting tissue regeneration. METHODS The current review article was prepared by searching PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar databases. Several treatment approaches based on biomaterials have been developed. RESULTS This review examines various treatment methods utilizing small molecules, biological compounds, herbal medicine-inspired approaches, immunotherapy, gene therapy, cell-based therapy, tissue engineering, nanotechnology, and phototherapy. CONCLUSION These treatments work through mechanisms of action involving signaling pathways such as transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β), mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs), and nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB), all of which contribute to the repair of injured tendons.

Abstract
Long-term chronic inflammation after Achilles tendon injury is critical for tendinopathy. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection, which is a common method for treating tendinopathy, has positive effects on tendon repair. In addition, tendon-derived stem cells (TDSCs), which are stem cells located in tendons, play a major role in maintaining tissue homeostasis and postinjury repair. In this study, injectable gelatine methacryloyl (GelMA) microparticles containing PRP laden with TDSCs (PRP-TDSC-GM) were prepared by a projection-based 3D bioprinting technique. Our results showed that PRP-TDSC-GM could promote tendon differentiation in TDSCs and reduce the inflammatory response by downregulating the PI3K-AKT pathway, thus promoting the structural and functional repair of tendons in vivo.

Abstract
Tendinopathy is a type of chronic injury caused by repeated pulling. Previous studies have reported that long non-coding RNA MALAT1 (MALAT1) regulates a variety of genes affecting bone metabolism. This study aimed to explore the role of the MALAT1 in tendon injury in vivo and in vitro. Human tendon-derived stem cells (TDSCs) were treated with TGF β1. Eighteen Sprague-Dawley rats were used to establish the tendinopathy animal model. Sirius Red staining and colorimetric assays were conducted to analyze the collagen content. RT-qPCR was performed to measure the mRNA levels. Western blotting was performed to measure the MAPK1 protein levels. Additionally, hematoxylin and eosin (HE) and immunohistochemical staining were used to analyze the cell number and the content of collagen type 1 and Thbs, respectively. MALAT1 expression was upregulated in TGF β1 treated TDSCs, and MALAT1 knockdown downregulated Scleraxis, Mohawk homeobox, Collagen 1A1, Fibromodulin, Matrix metallopeptidase 3, and Thrombospondin 4 in TGF β1 treated TDSCs. Bioinformatics analysis showed that miR-378a-3p was the target of MALAT1 and MAPK1, and dual-luciferase reporter assay indicated that both MALAT1 and MAPK1 could bind to miR-378a-3p. Furthermore, miR-378a-3p knockdown reversed the effect of si-MALAT1, whereas overexpression of MAPK1 reversed the effect of the miR-378a-3p mimic. Finally, MALAT1 expression was downregulated in tendinopathy rats, and MALAT1 overexpression healed tendon injury in them. MALAT1 regulated the tenogenic differentiation of TDSCs by regulating the miR-378a-3p/MAPK1 axis. Our results therefore indicate that targeting the MALAT1/miR-378a-3p/MAPK1 axis may be a promising avenue for the treatment of tendinopathy.

Abstract
Tendinopathy is a disabling musculoskeletal disease, the pathological process of which is tightly associated with inflammation. Spironolactone (SP) has been widely used as a diuretic in clinical practice. Recently, SP has shown anti-inflammatory features in several diseases. Tendon-derived stem cells (TDSCs), a subset cell type from tendon tissue possessing clonogenic capacity, play a vital role in the pathological process of tendinopathy. In the present study, the protective effect of SP on TDSCs was demonstrated under simulated tendinopathy conditions both in vitro and in vivo. SP contributed to the maintenance of TDSC-specific genes or proteins, while suppressing the interleukin- (IL-) 1β-induced overexpression of inflammation-mediated factors. Additionally, IL-1β-induced cellular senescence in TDSCs was inhibited, while autophagy was enhanced, as determined via β-galactosidase activity, western blot (WB), and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction analysis. With the aid of several emerging bioinformatics tools, the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway likely participated in the effect of SP, which was further validated through WB analysis and the use of MAPK agonist. Immunofluorescence analysis and an NF-κB agonist were used to confirm the inhibitory effect of SP on IL-1β-induced activation of the NF-κB pathway. X-ray, immunofluorescence, immunohistochemistry, hematoxylin and eosin staining, histological grades, and Masson staining showed that SP ameliorated tendinopathy in an Achilles tenotomy (AT) rat model in vivo. This work elucidates the protective role of SP on the pathological process of tendinopathy both in vitro and in vivo, indicating a potential therapeutic strategy for tendinopathy treatment.

Abstract
The natural healing ability of tendon is limited, and it cannot restore the native structure and function of tendon injuries. Tendon-derived stem cells (TDSCs) are a new type of pluripotent stem cells with multi-directional differentiation potential and are expected to become a promising cell-seed for the treatment of tendon injuries in the future. In this review, we outline the latest advances in the culture and identification of TDSCs. In addition, the influencing factors on the differentiation of TDSCs are discussed. Moreover, we aim to discuss recent studies to enhance TDSCs treatment of injured tendons. Finally, we identify the limitations of the current understanding of TDSCs biology, the main challenges of using their use, and potential therapeutic strategies to inform cell-based tendon repair.

Abstract
Prostaglandins are critical lipid mediators involved in the wound healing response, with prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) being the most complex and exhibiting the most diverse physiological outputs. PGE2 signals via four G protein-coupled receptors, termed EP-receptors 1-4 that induce distinct signaling pathways upon activation and lead to an array of different outputs. Recent studies examining the role of PGE2 and EP receptor signaling in wound healing following various forms of tissue damage are discussed in this review.

Abstract
Magnolol is a multifunctional plant polyphenol. To evaluate the effects of magnolol on laying hens in the late laying period, 360 (50-week-old) laying hens were randomly assigned to 4 dietary treatments: a non-supplemented control diet (C), and control diets supplemented with 100, 200, and 300 mg/kg of magnolol (M100, M200, and M300), respectively. Each treatment had 6 replicates with 15 hens per replicate. Results showed that dietary supplementation of 200 and 300 mg/kg of magnolol increased the laying rate and the M200 group had a lower feed conversion ratio (P < 0.05). Magnolol supplementation (200 and 300 mg/kg) could linearly increase albumen height and Haugh unit of fresh eggs in the late phase of the laying cycle (P < 0.01). And magnolol linearly alleviated the decline of the albumen height and Haugh unit of eggs stored for 14 d (P < 0.01). The total superoxide dismutase activity in the ovaries of M100 group was greater than that in the other treatments (P < 0.05). As dietary magnolol levels increased, villus height of jejunum and ileum linearly increased (P < 0.01). M200 and M300 groups had higher expression level of occludin in the ileum compared with group C (P < 0.01). The level of nitric oxide production and inducible nitric oxide synthase expression in the ileum of M200 group were lower than that in the C group (P < 0.05). In conclusion, dietary supplementation of 200 and 300 mg/kg magnolol can improve hen performance, albumen quality of fresh and storage eggs, and hepatic lipid metabolism in the late laying cycle. Also, magnolol has a good effect on increasing villi and improving the intestinal mucosal mechanical barrier function.

Abstract
Heterotopic ossification (HO) in connective tissues like tendons and ligaments severely damages tissue structure. The pathogenesis of HO remains unclear but may involve mTOR. The results presented here indicate that tendon stem/progenitor cells do not undergo osteochondrogenic differentiation when mTOR signaling is inactivated by gene knockout or rapamycin (RAPA) treatment. Meanwhile, it is necessary to deliver RAPA to the injured sites and avoid disturbing the normal tendon. A RAPA delivery system, developed using collagen hybrid peptide (CHP) to modify the surface of poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanoparticles, targeted RAPA specifically to pathological tendon collagen. The CHP-PLGA-RAPA nanoparticles showed excellent pathological collagen affinity, sustained-release ability, and bioactivity. In a mouse model of tendon HO, CHP-PLGA-RAPA nanoparticles specifically bound to pathological tendon and strongly suppressed HO progression. The mTOR signaling pathway appears to be a viable therapeutic target for tendon HO, and CHP-PLGA nanoparticles may be valuable for the treatment of tendon-related diseases.
