Tendinopathies are painful, disabling conditions that afflict 25% of the adult human population. Filling an unmet need for realistic large-animal models, we here present an ovine model of tendon injury for the comparative study of adult scarring repair and fetal regeneration. Complete regeneration of the fetal tendon within 28 days is demonstrated, while adult tendon defects remained macroscopically and histologically evident five months post-injury. In addition to a comprehensive histological assessment, proteome analyses of secretomes were performed. Confirming histological data, a specific and pronounced inflammation accompanied by activation of neutrophils in adult tendon defects was observed, corroborated by the significant up-regulation of pro-inflammatory factors, neutrophil attracting chemokines, the release of potentially tissue-damaging antimicrobial and extracellular matrix-degrading enzymes, and a response to oxidative stress. In contrast, secreted proteins of injured fetal tendons included proteins initiating the resolution of inflammation or promoting functional extracellular matrix production. These results demonstrate the power and relevance of our novel ovine fetal tendon regeneration model, which thus promises to accelerate research in the field. First insights from the model already support our molecular understanding of successful fetal tendon healing processes and may guide improved therapeutic strategies.

AbstractTendon injuries disrupt the balance between stability and mobility, causing compromised functions and disabilities. The regeneration of mature, functional tendons remains a clinical challenge. Here, we perform transcriptional profiling of tendon developmental processes to show that the extracellular matrix-associated protein periostin (Postn) contributes to the maintenance of tendon stem/progenitor cell (TSPC) functions and promotes tendon regeneration. We show that recombinant periostin (rPOSTN) promotes the proliferation and stemness of TSPCs, and maintains the tenogenic potentials of TSPCs in vitro. We also find that rPOSTN protects TSPCs against functional impairment during long-term passage in vitro. For in vivo tendon formation, we construct a biomimetic parallel-aligned collagen scaffold to facilitate TSPC tenogenesis. Using a rat full-cut Achilles tendon defect model, we demonstrate that scaffolds loaded with rPOSTN promote endogenous TSPC recruitment, tendon regeneration and repair with native-like hierarchically organized collagen fibers. Moreover, newly regenerated tendons show recovery of mechanical properties and locomotion functions.

Gastrocnemius Muscles

The myosin heavy-chain (MHC) isoform pattern was studied by biochemical methods in the slow-twitch (soleus) and fast-twitch (gastrocnemius) muscles of adult rats during atrophy after tenotomy and recovery after tendon regeneration. The tenotomized slow muscle atrophied more than the tenotomized fast muscle. During the 12 days after tenotomy the total MHC content decreased by about 85% in the slow muscle, and only by about 35% in the fast muscle. In the slow muscle the ratio of MHC-1 to MHC-2A(2S) remained almost unchanged, showing that similar diminution of both isoforms occurs. In the fast muscle the MHC-2A/MHC-2B ratio decreased, showing the loss of MHC-2A mainly. After tendon regeneration, the slow muscle recovered earlier than the fast muscle. Full recovery of the muscles was not observed until up to 4 months later. The embryonic MHC, which seems to be expressed in denervated adult muscle fibres, was not detected by immunoblotting in the tenotomized muscles during either atrophy or recovery after tendon regeneration. The influence of tenotomy and denervation on expression of the MHC isoforms is compared. The results show that: (a) MHC-1 and MHC-2A(2S) are very sensitive to tenotomy, whereas MHC-2B is much less sensitive; (b) expression of the embryonic MHC in adult muscle seems to be inhibited by the intact neuromuscular junction.
