Tenascin C Deletion Impairs Tendon Healing and Functional Recovery After Rotator Cuff Repair


ABSTRACT: The biological factors that affect healing after rotator cuff repair (RCR) are not well 63 understood. Genetic variants in the extracellular matrix protein Tenascin C (TNC) are associated 64 with impaired tendon healing and it is expressed in rotator cuff tendon tissue after injury, 65 suggesting it may have a role in the repair process. The purpose of the current study was to 66 determine the role of TNC on tendon healing after RCR in a murine model. The supraspinatus 67 tendon was transected and repaired on the left shoulder of Wild-Type (WT-RCR) and Tenascin 68 C null (Tnc - -RCR) mice. Controls included the unoperated, contralateral shoulder of WT-RCR 69 and Tnc - -RCR mice and unoperated shoulders from WT and Tnc - mice. We performed 70 histologic, activity testing, RNA-seq, and biomechanical analyses. At 8-weeks post-RCR, Tnc71 mice had severe bone and tendon defects following rotator cuff repair. Tnc- -RCR mice had 72 reduced activity after rotator cuff repair including reduced wheel rotations, wheel duration, and 73 wheel episode average velocity compared with WT-RCR. Loss of Tnc following RCR altered 74 gene expression in the shoulder, including upregulation of sex hormone and WNT pathways and 75 a downregulation of inflammation and cell cycle pathways. Tnc - mice had similar biomechanical 76 properties after repair as WT. Further research is required to evaluate tissue specific alterations 77 of Tnc, the interactions of Tnc and sex hormone and inflammation pathways as well as possible 78 adjuvants to improve enthesis healing in the setting of reduced TNC function.
