Increased expression of glutathione peroxidase 3 prevents tendinopathy by suppressing oxidative stress.


ABSTRACT: Tendinopathy, a degenerative disease, is characterized by pain, loss of tendon strength, or rupture. Previous studies have identified multiple risk factors for tendinopathy, including aging and fluoroquinolone use; however, its therapeutic target remains unclear. We analyzed self-reported adverse events and the US commercial claims data and found that the short-term use of dexamethasone prevented both fluoroquinolone-induced and age-related tendinopathy. Rat tendons treated systemically with fluoroquinolone exhibited mechanical fragility, histological change, and DNA damage; co-treatment with dexamethasone attenuated these effects and increased the expression of the antioxidant enzyme glutathione peroxidase 3 (GPX3), as revealed via RNA-sequencing. The primary role of GPX3 was validated in primary cultured rat tenocytes treated with fluoroquinolone or H2O2, which accelerates senescence, in combination with dexamethasone or viral overexpression of GPX3. These results suggest that dexamethasone prevents tendinopathy by suppressing oxidative stress through the upregulation of GPX3. This steroid-free approach for upregulation or activation of GPX3 can serve as a novel therapeutic strategy for tendinopathy.
