Abstract

While mechanical loading is known to be essential in maintaining tendon homeostasis, repetitive mechanical loading has also been implicated in the etiology of tendon overuse injuries. The purpose of this study was to determine whether cyclic mechanical stretching regulates inflammatory responses induced by interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) treatment in human patellar tendon fibroblasts (HPTFs). HPTFs were grown in microgrooved silicone dishes, where they became elongated in shape and aligned with the microgrooves, which is similar to the shape and organization of tendon fibroblasts in vivo. Cyclic uniaxial stretching was then applied to silicone culture dishes with a 4% or 8% stretch at a stretching frequency of 0.5 Hz for a duration of 4 h in the presence or absence of 10 pM IL-1beta treatment. Non-stretched cells in the presence or absence of IL-1beta were used for controls, respectively. The expression of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1), and the production of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) were measured. In the absence of stretching, it was found that 10 pM of IL-1beta markedly induced higher levels of COX-2, MMP-1 gene expression, and PGE2 production than non-treated cells. Furthermore, cells with 4% stretching decreased the COX-2 and MMP-1 gene expression and PGE2 production that were stimulated by IL-1beta, whereas cells with 8% stretching further increased these gene products and/or expression levels in addition to the effects of IL-1beta stimulation. Thus, the results suggest that repetitive, small-magnitude stretching is anti-inflammatory, whereas large-magnitude stretching is pro-inflammatory. Therefore, moderate exercise may be beneficial to reducing tendon inflammation.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
