Role of oxidative stress in the concurrent development of osteoporosis and tendinopathy: Emerging challenges and prospects for treatment modalities. J Cell Mol Med 2024; 28:e18508. [PMID: 38953556 PMCID: PMC11217991 DOI: 10.1111/jcmm.18508] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/05/2024] [Revised: 06/12/2024] [Accepted: 06/18/2024] [Indexed: 07/04/2024] Open
Abstract
Both osteoporosis and tendinopathy are widely prevalent disorders, encountered in diverse medical contexts. Whilst each condition has distinct pathophysiological characteristics, they share several risk factors and underlying causes. Notably, oxidative stress emerges as a crucial intersecting factor, playing a pivotal role in the onset and progression of both diseases. This imbalance arises from a dysregulation in generating and neutralising reactive oxygen species (ROS), leading to an abnormal oxidative environment. Elevated levels of ROS can induce multiple cellular disruptions, such as cytotoxicity, apoptosis activation and reduced cell function, contributing to tissue deterioration and weakening the structural integrity of bones and tendons. Antioxidants are substances that can prevent or slow down the oxidation process, including Vitamin C, melatonin, resveratrol, anthocyanins and so on, demonstrating potential in treating these overlapping disorders. This comprehensive review aims to elucidate the complex role of oxidative stress within the interlinked pathways of these comorbid conditions. By integrating contemporary research and empirical findings, our objective is to outline new conceptual models and innovative treatment strategies for effectively managing these prevalent diseases. This review underscores the importance of further in-depth research to validate the efficacy of antioxidants and traditional Chinese medicine in treatment plans, as well as to explore targeted interventions focused on oxidative stress as promising areas for future medical advancements.

The subacromial bursa modulates tendon healing after rotator cuff injury in rats. Sci Transl Med 2024; 16:eadd8273. [PMID: 38657023 DOI: 10.1126/scitranslmed.add8273] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/06/2022] [Accepted: 04/03/2024] [Indexed: 04/26/2024]
Abstract
Rotator cuff injuries result in more than 500,000 surgeries annually in the United States, many of which fail. These surgeries typically involve repair of the injured tendon and removal of the subacromial bursa, a synovial-like tissue that sits between the rotator cuff and the acromion. The subacromial bursa has been implicated in rotator cuff pathogenesis and healing. Using proteomic profiling of bursa samples from nine patients with rotator cuff injury, we show that the bursa responds to injury in the underlying tendon. In a rat model of supraspinatus tenotomy, we evaluated the bursa's effect on the injured supraspinatus tendon, the uninjured infraspinatus tendon, and the underlying humeral head. The bursa protected the intact infraspinatus tendon adjacent to the injured supraspinatus tendon by maintaining its mechanical properties and protected the underlying humeral head by maintaining bone morphometry. The bursa promoted an inflammatory response in injured rat tendon, initiating expression of genes associated with wound healing, including Cox2 and Il6. These results were confirmed in rat bursa organ cultures. To evaluate the potential of the bursa as a therapeutic target, polymer microspheres loaded with dexamethasone were delivered to the intact bursae of rats after tenotomy. Dexamethasone released from the bursa reduced Il1b expression in injured rat supraspinatus tendon, suggesting that the bursa could be used for drug delivery to reduce inflammation in the healing tendon. Our findings indicate that the subacromial bursa contributes to healing in underlying tissues of the shoulder joint, suggesting that its removal during rotator cuff surgery should be reconsidered.

Abstract
Tendinopathy is a prevalent condition in orthopedics patients, exerting a profound impact on tendon functionality. However, its underlying mechanism remains elusive and the efficacy of pharmacological interventions continues to be suboptimal. Verapamil is a clinically used medicine with anti-inflammation and antioxidant functions. This investigation aimed to elucidate the impact of verapamil in tendinopathy and the underlying mechanisms through which verapamil ameliorates the severity of tendinopathy. In in vitro experiments, primary tenocytes were exposed to interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) along with verapamil at a concentration of 5 μM. In addition, an in vivo rat tendinopathy model was induced through the localized injection of collagenase into the Achilles tendons of rats, and verapamil was injected into these tendons at a concentration of 5 μM. The in vitro findings highlighted the remarkable ability of verapamil to attenuate extracellular matrix degradation and apoptosis triggered by inflammation in tenocytes stimulated by IL-1β. Furthermore, verapamil was observed to significantly suppress the inflammation-related MAPK/NFκB pathway. Subsequent investigations revealed that verapamil exerts a remediating effect on mitochondrial dysfunction, which was achieved through activation of the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway. Nevertheless, the protective effect of verapamil was nullified with the utilization of the Nrf2 inhibitor ML385. In summary, the in vivo and in vitro results indicate that the administration of verapamil profoundly mitigates the severity of tendinopathy through suppression of inflammation and activation of the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway. These findings suggest that verapamil is a promising therapeutic agent for the treatment of tendinopathy, deserving further and expanded research.

Abstract
Chronic rotator cuff injuries (CRCIs) still present a great challenge for orthopaedics surgeons. Many new therapeutic strategies are developed to facilitate repair and improve the healing process. However, there is no reliable animal model for chronic rotator cuff injury research. To present a new valuable rat model for future chronic rotator cuff injuries (CRCIs) repair studies, and describe the changes of CRCIs on the perspectives of histology, behavior and MRI. Sixty male Wistar rats were enrolled and underwent surgery of the left shoulder joint for persistent subacromial impingement. They were randomly divided into experimental group (n = 30, a 3D printed PEEK implant shuttled into the lower surface of the acromion) and sham operation group (n = 30, insert the same implant, but remove it immediately). Analyses of histology, behavior, MRI and inflammatory pain-related genes expression profiles were performed to evaluate the changes of CRCIs. After 2-weeks running, the rats in the experimental group exhibited compensatory gait patterns to protect the injured forelimb from loading after 2-weeks running. After 8-weeks running, the rats in the experimental group showed obvious CRCIs pathological changes: (1) acromion bone hyperplasia and thickening of the cortical bone; (2) supraspinatus muscle tendon of the humeral head: the bursal-side tendon was torn and layered with disordered structure, forming obvious gaps; the humeral-side tendon is partially broken, and has a neatly arranged collagen. Partial fat infiltration is found. The coronal T2-weighted images showed that abnormal tendon-to-bone junctions of the supraspinatus tendon. The signal intensity and continuity were destroyed with contracted tendon. At the nighttime, compared with the sham operation group, the expression level of IL-1β and COX-2 increased significantly (P = 0063, 0.0005) in the experimental group. The expression of COX-2 in experimental group is up-regulated about 1.5 times than that of daytime (P = 0.0011), but the expression of IL-1β, TNF-a, and NGF are all down-regulated (P = 0.0146, 0.0232, 0.0161). This novel rat model of chronic rotator cuff injuries has the similar characteristics with that of human shoulders. And it supplies a cost-effective, reliable animal model for advanced tissue engineered strategies and future therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Rotator cuff tears are the most common upper extremity condition seen by primary care and orthopaedic surgeons, with a spectrum ranging from tendinopathy to full-thickness tears with arthritic change. Some tears are traumatic, but most rotator cuff problems are degenerative. Not all tears are symptomatic and not all progress, and many patients in whom tears become more extensive do not experience symptom worsening. Hence, a standard algorithm for managing patients is challenging. The pathophysiology of rotator cuff tears is complex and encompasses an interplay between the tendon, bone and muscle. Rotator cuff tears begin as degenerative changes within the tendon, with matrix disorganization and inflammatory changes. Subsequently, tears progress to partial-thickness and then full-thickness tears. Muscle quality, as evidenced by the overall size of the muscle and intramuscular fatty infiltration, also influences symptoms, tear progression and the outcomes of surgery. Treatment depends primarily on symptoms, with non-operative management sufficient for most patients with rotator cuff problems. Modern arthroscopic repair techniques have improved recovery, but outcomes are still limited by a lack of understanding of how to improve tendon to bone healing in many patients.

[PMID: 37637777 PMCID: PMC10450357 DOI: 10.1016/j.jot.2023.06.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/29/2023] [Revised: 06/18/2023] [Accepted: 06/30/2023] [Indexed: 08/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Tendinopathy is a common motor system disease that leads to pain and reduced function. Despite its prevalence, our mechanistic understanding is incomplete, leading to limited efficacy of treatment options. Animal models contribute significantly to our understanding of tendinopathy and some therapeutic options. However, the inadequacies of animal models are also evident, largely due to differences in anatomical structure and the complexity of human tendinopathy. Different animal models reproduce different aspects of human tendinopathy and are therefore suitable for different scenarios. This review aims to summarize the existing animal models of tendinopathy and to determine the situations in which each model is appropriate for use, including exploring disease mechanisms and evaluating therapeutic effects. Methods We reviewed relevant literature in the PubMed database from January 2000 to December 2022 using the specific terms ((tendinopathy) OR (tendinitis)) AND (model) AND ((mice) OR (rat) OR (rabbit) OR (lapin) OR (dog) OR (canine) OR (sheep) OR (goat) OR (horse) OR (equine) OR (pig) OR (swine) OR (primate)). This review summarized different methods for establishing animal models of tendinopathy and classified them according to the pathogenesis they simulate. We then discussed the advantages and disadvantages of each model, and based on this, identified the situations in which each model was suitable for application. Results For studies that aim to study the pathophysiology of tendinopathy, naturally occurring models, treadmill models, subacromial impingement models and metabolic models are ideal. They are closest to the natural process of tendinopathy in humans. For studies that aim to evaluate the efficacy of possible treatments, the selection should be made according to the pathogenesis simulated by the modeling method. Existing tendinopathy models can be classified into six types according to the pathogenesis they simulate: extracellular matrix synthesis-decomposition imbalance, inflammation, oxidative stress, metabolic disorder, traumatism and mechanical load. Conclusions The critical factor affecting the translational value of research results is whether the selected model is matched with the research purpose. There is no single optimal model for inducing tendinopathy, and researchers must select the model that is most appropriate for the study they are conducting. The translational potential of this article The critical factor affecting the translational value of research results is whether the animal model used is compatible with the research purpose. This paper provides a rationale and practical guide for the establishment and selection of animal models of tendinopathy, which is helpful to improve the clinical transformation ability of existing models and develop new models.

Background The purpose of the present observational multicentric prospective study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a new infiltration device (CHondroGrid, Bioteck S.p.A, Arcugnano, Italy) based on hydrolyzed collagen in the treatment of rotator cuff tendinopathy. Methods Seventy-one patients (53.3 ± 11.6 years old) affected by rotator cuff tendinopathy were treated in 2021 with two subacromial injections of CHondroGrid at 13 ± 2.9 days apart. The outcomes measured were the visual analog scale (VAS) score (in movement, during the night, and at rest), the Constant Score, the Simple Shoulder Test, and patient satisfaction. The outcome variables were measured before each injection, at 1 month and at 6 months after the last injection. Results The treatment was significantly effective from the first injection and up to the six-month follow-up. At the last follow-up, the VAS score on movement had improved by 71% (P < .001), while the VAS score at rest and during the night had ameliorated by 91% and 87%, respectively (P < .001). The Constant Score and Simple Shoulder Test improved by 32% and 61%, respectively (P < .001). No adverse events were reported. Conclusions CHondroGrid resulted in a safe and effective treatment in pain relief and for the functional recovery of rotator cuff tendinopathy.

Abstract
Tendinopathies are common disabling conditions in equine and human athletes. The etiology is still unclear, although reactive oxygen species (ROS) and oxidative stress (OS) seem to play a crucial role. In addition, OS has been implicated in the failure of tendon lesion repair. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is rich in growth factors that promote tissue regeneration. This is a promising therapeutic approach in tendon injury. Moreover, growing evidence has been attributed to PRP antioxidant effects that can sustain tissue healing. In this study, the potential antioxidant effects of PRP in tenocytes exposed to oxidative stress were investigated. The results demonstrated that PRP reduces protein and lipid oxidative damage and protects tenocytes from OS-induced cell death. The results also showed that PRP was able to increase nuclear levels of redox-dependent transcription factor Nrf2 and to induce some antioxidant/phase II detoxifying enzymes (superoxide dismutase 2, catalase, heme oxygenase 1, NAD(P)H oxidoreductase quinone-1, glutamate cysteine ligase catalytic subunit and glutathione, S-transferase). Moreover, PRP also increased the enzymatic activity of catalase and glutathione S-transferase. In conclusion, this study suggests that PRP could activate various cellular signaling pathways, including the Nrf2 pathway, for the restoration of tenocyte homeostasis and to promote tendon regeneration and repair following tendon injuries.

Abstract
Rotator cuff injuries result in over 500,000 surgeries performed annually, an alarmingly high number of which fail. These procedures typically involve repair of the injured tendon and removal of the subacromial bursa. However, recent identification of a resident population of mesenchymal stem cells and inflammatory responsiveness of the bursa to tendinopathy indicate an unexplored biological role of the bursa in the context of rotator cuff disease. Therefore, we aimed to understand the clinical relevance of bursa-tendon crosstalk, characterize the biologic role of the bursa within the shoulder, and test the therapeutic potential for targeting the bursa. Proteomic profiling of patient bursa and tendon samples demonstrated that the bursa is activated by tendon injury. Using a rat to model rotator cuff injury and repair, tenotomy-activated bursa protected the intact tendon adjacent to the injured tendon and maintained the morphology of the underlying bone. The bursa also promoted an early inflammatory response in the injured tendon, initiating key players in wound healing. In vivo results were supported by targeted organ culture studies of the bursa. To examine the potential to therapeutically target the bursa, dexamethasone was delivered to the bursa, prompting a shift in cellular signaling towards resolution of inflammation in the healing tendon. In conclusion, contrary to current clinical practice, the bursa should be retained to the greatest extent possible and provides a new therapeutically target for improving tendon healing outcomes. One Sentence Summary The subacromial bursa is activated by rotator cuff injury and regulates the paracrine environment of the shoulder to maintain the properties of the underlying tendon and bone.

Abstract
We determined whether gut microbiota-produced trimethylamine (TMA) is oxidized into trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) in nonliver tissues and whether TMAO promotes inflammation via trained immunity (TI). We found that endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress genes were coupregulated with MitoCarta genes in chronic kidney diseases (CKD); TMAO upregulated 190 genes in human aortic endothelial cells (HAECs); TMAO synthesis enzyme flavin-containing monooxygenase 3 (FMO3) was expressed in human and mouse aortas; TMAO transdifferentiated HAECs into innate immune cells; TMAO phosphorylated 12 kinases in cytosol via its receptor PERK and CREB, and integrated with PERK pathways; and PERK inhibitors suppressed TMAO-induced ICAM-1. TMAO upregulated 3 mitochondrial genes, downregulated inflammation inhibitor DARS2, and induced mitoROS, and mitoTEMPO inhibited TMAO-induced ICAM-1. β-Glucan priming, followed by TMAO restimulation, upregulated TNF-α by inducing metabolic reprogramming, and glycolysis inhibitor suppressed TMAO-induced ICAM-1. Our results have provided potentially novel insights regarding TMAO roles in inducing EC activation and innate immune transdifferentiation and inducing metabolic reprogramming and TI for enhanced vascular inflammation, and they have provided new therapeutic targets for treating cardiovascular diseases (CVD), CKD-promoted CVD, inflammation, transplantation, aging, and cancer.

Abstract
Both acute and chronic tendon injuries are disabling sports medicine problems with no effective treatment at present. Sustained oxidative stress has been suggested as the major factor contributing to fibrosis and adhesion after acute tendon injury as well as pathological changes of degenerative tendinopathy. Numerous in vitro and in vivo studies have shown that the inhibition of oxidative stress can promote the tenogenic differentiation of tendon stem/progenitor cells, reduce tissue fibrosis and augment tendon repair. This review aims to systematically review the literature and summarize the clinical and pre-clinical evidence about the potential relationship of oxidative stress and tendon disorders. The literature in PubMed was searched using appropriate keywords. A total of 81 original pre-clinical and clinical articles directly related to the effects of oxidative stress and the activators or inhibitors of oxidative stress on the tendon were reviewed and included in this review article. The potential sources and mechanisms of oxidative stress in these debilitating tendon disorders is summarized. The anti-oxidative therapies that have been examined in the clinical and pre-clinical settings to reduce tendon fibrosis and adhesion or promote healing in tendinopathy are reviewed. The future research direction is also discussed.

Abstract
Rotator cuff tendinopathy (RCT) is the most common cause of shoulder pain, therefore posing an important clinical problem. Understanding the mechanism and biochemical changes of RCT would be of crucial importance and pave the path to targeting novel and effective therapeutic strategies in translational perspectives and clinical practices. Phosphorylation, as one of the most important and well-studied post-translational modifications, is tightly associated with protein activity and protein functional regulation. Here in this study, we generated a global protein phosphorylation atlas within the pathological site of human RCT patients. By using Tandem Mass Tag (TMT) labeling combined with mass spectrometry, an average of 7,741 phosphorylation sites (p-sites) and 3,026 proteins were identified. Compared with their normal counterparts, 1,668 p-sites in 706 proteins were identified as upregulated, while 73 p-sites in 57 proteins were downregulated. GO enrichment analyses have shown that majority of proteins with upregulated p-sites functioned in neutrophil-mediated immunity whereas downregulated p-sites are mainly involved in muscle development. Furthermore, pathway analysis identified NF-κB–related TNF signaling pathway and protein kinase C alpha type (PKCα)–related Wnt signaling pathway were associated with RCT pathology. At last, a weighted kinase-site phosphorylation network was built to identify potentially core kinase, from which serine/threonine-protein kinase 39 (STLK3) and mammalian STE20-like protein kinase 1 (MST1) were proposed to be positively correlated with the activation of Wnt pathway.
