Abstract
Age-related tendon disorder, a primary motor system disease, is characterized by biological changes in the tendon tissue due to senescence and seriously affects the quality of life of the elderly. The pathogenesis of this disease is not well-understood. Tendon stem/progenitor cells (TSPCs) exhibit multi-differentiation capacity. These cells are important cellular components of the tendon because of their roles in tendon tissue homeostasis, remodeling, and repair. Previous studies revealed alterations in the biological characteristics and tenogenic differentiation potential of TSPCs in senescent tendon tissue, in turn contributing to insufficient differentiation of TSPCs into tenocytes. Poor tendon repair can result in age-related tendinopathies. Therefore, targeting of senescent TSPCs may restore the tenogenic differentiation potential of these cells and achieve homeostasis of the tendon tissue to prevent or treat age-related tendinopathy. In this review, we summarize the biological characteristics of TSPCs and histopathological changes in age-related tendinopathy, as well as the potential mechanisms through which TSPCs contribute to senescence. This information may promote further exploration of innovative treatment strategies to rescue TSPCs from senescence.

[PMID: 34699989 PMCID: PMC9128138 DOI: 10.1016/j.jse.2021.10.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/02/2021] [Revised: 09/15/2021] [Accepted: 10/06/2021] [Indexed: 02/01/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The etiology of atraumatic rotator cuff tears is not completely understood. Limited data suggest the role of genetic and familial predisposition in the etiology of rotator cuff tears. The purpose of this study was to assess whether there is an increased likelihood of rotator cuff tears in family members of patients with rotator cuff tears vs. those without tears. This would provide evidence for whether there is an association between familial predisposition and rotator cuff tearing. METHODS Patients presenting to a shoulder clinic were recruited in this study. They provided information on personal medical history, shoulder symptoms, and family history of rotator cuff tears. The diagnosis of rotator cuff tears was based on imaging (magnetic resonance imaging or computed tomography arthrogram) confirmation of a structural defect in the rotator cuff. The association between family history of rotator cuff problems and the likelihood of an imaging-confirmed rotator cuff tear diagnosis was evaluated using multivariate logistic regression, adjusting for age, sex, race/ethnicity, cigarette smoking, hypertension, diabetes, and depression. RESULTS In our cohort of 2335 patients, 52.6% (n = 1229) of patients had a rotator cuff tear. Among patients with tears, 17.9% (n = 220) of patients reported a family history of rotator cuff issues vs. 11.1% (n = 123) in patients without tears. A family history of rotator cuff problems was significantly associated with the diagnosis of an imaging-confirmed rotator cuff tear (odds ratio [OR] 2.24, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.71, 2.95). Other confounding variables such as increasing age (OR 1.06, 95% CI 1.05, 1.07) and Hispanic race/ethnicity as compared to non-Hispanic white race/ethnicity (OR 1.48, 95% CI 1.07, 2.05) were significantly associated with rotator cuff tears. Sex, smoking, hypertension, diabetes, and depression were not significantly associated with rotator cuff tearing. CONCLUSION Our study shows that individuals with rotator cuff tears were more than 2 times as likely to have a family member with a tear as compared to patients without tears. Increasing age and patients who identified as being of Hispanic ancestry were also significantly associated with higher odds of rotator cuff tears.

Phase II Investigation of the Efficacy of Antimycobacterial Therapy in Chronic Pulmonary Sarcoidosis. Chest 2020; 159:1902-1912. [PMID: 33387486 PMCID: PMC8129732 DOI: 10.1016/j.chest.2020.12.027] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/23/2020] [Revised: 11/30/2020] [Accepted: 12/04/2020] [Indexed: 11/27/2022] Open
Abstract
Background A Phase I, single-center investigation found that 8 weeks of antimycobacterial therapy improved sarcoidosis FVC. Safety and efficacy assessments have not been performed in a multicenter cohort. Research Question The objective of this study was to determine the safety and efficacy of antimycobacterial therapy on the physiological and immunologic end points of sarcoidosis. Study Design and Methods In a double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter investigation, patients with pulmonary sarcoidosis were randomly assigned to receive 16 weeks of concomitant levofloxacin, ethambutol, azithromycin, and rifabutin (CLEAR) or matching placebo to investigate the effect on FVC. The primary outcome was a comparison of change in percentage of predicted FVC among patients randomized to receive CLEAR or placebo in addition to their baseline immunosuppressive regimen. Secondary outcomes included 6-min walk distance (6MWD), St. George’s Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) score, adverse events, and decrease in mycobacterial early secreted antigenic target of 6 kDa (ESAT-6) immune responses. Results The intention-to-treat analysis revealed no significant differences in change in FVC among the 49 patients randomized to receive CLEAR (1.1% decrease) compared with the 48 randomized to receive placebo (0.02% increase) (P = .64). Physiological parameters such as the change in 6MWD were likewise similar (P = .91); change in SGRQ favored placebo (–8.0 for placebo vs –1.5 for CLEAR; P = .028). The per-protocol analysis revealed no significant change in FVC at 16 weeks between CLEAR and placebo. There was no significant change in 6MWD (36.4 m vs 6.3 m; P = .24) or SGRQ (–2.3 vs –7.0; P = .14). A decline in ESAT-6 immune responses at 16 weeks was noted among CLEAR-treated patients (P = .0003) but not patients receiving placebo (P = .24). Interpretation Despite a significant decline in ESAT-6 immune responses, a 16-week CLEAR regimen provided no physiological benefit in FVC or 6MWD among patients with sarcoidosis.
