PI3K-Akt signaling regulates Scx-lineage tenocytes and Tppp3-lineage tendon sheath synovial cells in physiological tendon regeneration

ABSTRACT: We identify a PI3K-Akt signaling pathway which is specifically upregulated in neonatal murine injured Achilles tendons. PI3K-Akt signaling inhibition in neonatal murine Achilles tendon rupture model decreases cell proliferation and cell migration to the regenerating tendons in both Scx-lineage intrinsic tenocytes and Tppp3-lineage extrinsic tendon sheath synovial cells. Moreover, PI3K-Akt signaling inhibition decreases stemness and promotes mature tenogenic differentiation in both Scx-lineage and Tppp3-lineage cells. Collectively, PI3K-Akt signaling plays an important role in physiological tendon regeneration.

RNA-seq analysis of Scx-lineage cell depletion to investigate tendon cell functions during flexor tendon healing

Project description:Little is understood about the roles of tendon cells during flexor tendon healing. To better understand tendon cell functions, the Scx-Cre mouse was crossed to the DTR mouse model to facilitate scleraxis lineage cell depletion prior to acute flexor tendon injury and repair. WT (cre-) and experimental (cre+) mice underwent complete transection and repair of the flexor digitorum longus tendon. Repaired tendons were harvested at 14 and 28 days post-repair for bulk RNA-Seq analysis to examine possible mechanisms driving differential healing due to Scx lineage cell depletion.

Effect of DRG conditioned media on Tppp3+ tendon cells

Project description:Here, we investigated the effect of conditioned media (CM) obtained from cultured mouse DRG neurons on Tppp3+ cells, mainly on proliferation and differentiation potential. 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. A combination of spatial and single cell transcriptomics revealed dysregulated inflammatory and TGF signaling upon lack of neural input. Utilizing sural nerve transection in reporter animals, we identified that neural input is required for proper expansion of Tppp3+ tendon sheath progenitor cells (TSPCs) after injury, and in vitro approaches implicated TGF signaling activation in Tppp3+ TSPC neural response. Finally, in a translational approach, activation of TrkA+ sensory neurons using a partial agonist led to a significant increase in TGF signaling, TSPC expansion, and improved tendon repair. Collectively, these data implicate peripheral afferent neural networks in the coordinated acute tendon injury response, and identify candidate molecules to speed the reparative process.

Genome-wide identification of Scx transcriptional target genes in tendon development II

Project description:Despite their important roles in the musculoskeletal system, tendon and ligaments are much less studied comparing to bone, cartilage and muscle. The lack of knowledge in tendon biology severely hinders the understanding of the etiologies of tendon related diseases and development of efficient clinical treatments. In mouse, Scx gene, encoding a Twist family bHLH transcription factor, is expressed in progenitors of all tendons and ligaments, as well as in mature tenocytes. Previous studies show that inactivation of Scx gene results in absence or severe hypoplastia of force transmitting tendons, with muscle anchoring tendons and ligaments are less affected. Here we report a set of ChIPseq data from E13.5 forelimbs of novel Scx-2xFlag tagged mice in which a Scx-Flag fusion protein is expressed recapitulating endogenous Scx expression, and a set of RNAseq data of Scx-GFP positive cells from E13.5 Scx wildtype, E15.5 Scx wildtype and homozygous mutant forelimbs. Using RNAseq and ChIPseq assays, we identify several genes exhibiting Scx-dependent tendon expression druing differentiation, with Scx binding peaks located within their promoter/enhancer regions. Thus these genes may play critical roles in mediating Scx regulated tendon cell differentiation. Our results provide new insights in the mechanisms of tendon development.

Effects of running for 1h on gene expression in Achilles tendon cells of SD rats

Project description:The Achilles tendon is the thickest tendon in the human body, and Achilles tendinopathy is its most prevalent disorder, often considered a consequence of overuse. While disruption to the collagen fibers represents a significant manifestation of Achilles tendinopathy, strikingly little is known about the mechanisms by which healthy tendon accumulates damage in vivo.As existing studies of tendon biomechanics and mechanobiology predominantly relied on in vitro or ex vivo experiments on isolated tissues, it is still largely unknown whether and how disruptions occur to the collagen molecules in healthy Achilles tendons following physiological activities. We reported the first RNA-seq analysis reflecting transcriptome changes in healthy rat Achilles tendons following running, providing a resource for future investigations in tendon mechanobiology and sports medicine.

RNA Sequencing Facilitates Quantitative Analysis of Cont/Dicer KO/Scx HT mice Achilles Tendon Transcriptome

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.

CTRP3 exacerbates tendinopathy by dysregulating tendon stem cell differentiation and altering extracellular matrix composition [seq]

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.

Tenomodulin prevents trauma-induced heterotopic ossification in tendon

Project description:We have reported that loss of Tnmd leads to inferior early tendon repair characterized by fibrovascular scaring and therefore hypothesized that its lack will persistently cause deficient repair during later stages. Tnmd knockout (Tnmd-/-) and wild-type (WT) animals were subjected to complete Achilles tendon surgical transection followed by end-to-end suture. Lineage tracing revealed a reduction in tendon-lineage cells marked by ScleraxisGFP, but an increase in alpha smooth muscle actin myofibroblasts in Tnmd-/- tendon scars. At the proliferative stage, more pro-inflammatory M1 macrophages and larger collagen II cartilaginous template were detected in this group. At the remodeling stage, histological scoring revealed lower repair quality in the injured Tnmd-/- tendons, which was coupled with higher HO quantified by micro-CT. Tendon biomechanical properties were compromised in both groups upon injury, however we identified an abnormal stiffening of non-injured Tnmd-/- tendons, which possessed higher static and dynamic E-moduli. Pathologically thicker and abnormally shaped collagen fibrils were observed by TEM in Tnmd-/- tendons and this together with augmented HO resulted in diminished running capacity of Tnmd-/- mice. These novel findings demonstrate that Tnmd plays a protecting role against trauma-induced endochondral HO and can inspire the generation of novel therapeutics to accelerate repair.

Transcriptional analysis of tendons from mice with a tenocyte-specific deletion of IGF1R

Project description:We report RNA sequencing data from the plantaris tendons of adult male mice in the C57Bl/6 background that either have the IGF1 receptor (IGF1R) present in their tendons (Scx:IGF1R+) or mice in which IGF1R has been deleted in tenocytes expressing scleraxis (Scx:IGF1R-). Mice were created by crossing ScxCreERT2 mice with IGF1R flox/flox mice. Mice were treated with tamoxifen for 5 days to induce recombination at the IGF1R allele, and then subjected to a synergist ablation procedure in which the Achilles tendon is removed, resulting in compensatory growth of the plantaris tendon. Mice were analyzed either 7 or 14 days after synergist ablation. Control mice that did not undergo tamoxifen treatment or synergist ablation were also studied.
