Abstract

Understanding adaption to load is essential for prevention and treatment of tendinopathy/tendinosis. Cytokine release in response to load is one mechanism involved in mechanotransduction. The cytokine tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) is implicated in tendinosis and can induce apoptotic effects via tumor necrosis factor receptor 1 (TNFR1). The complete absence of information concerning the TNF-α system in Achilles tendon is a limitation as mid-portion Achilles tendinosis is very frequent. To examine expression patterns of TNF-α and its two receptors (TNFR1 and TNFR2) in human Achilles tendinosis and control tissue and to biochemically confirm the presence of TNF-α in tendinosis tissue. TNF-α and TNFR1 mRNA were detected via in situ hybridization. TNF-α, TNFR1, and TNFR2 were demonstrated immunohistochemically. Apoptosis markers were utilized. ELISA was used to detect TNF-α. TNF-α and TNFR1 mRNA was detected in tenocytes of both tendinosis and control tendons. Tenocytes from both groups displayed specific immunoreactions for TNF-α, TNFR1, and TNFR2. The widened/rounded tenocytes of tendinosis samples exhibited the most intense immunoreactions. Apoptosis was detected in only a subpopulation of the tenocytes in tendinosis tissue...Continue Reading

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
