Sustained Exposure of Substance P Causes Tendinopathy.

Abstract

Recently, neuromediators such as substance P (SP) have been found to be important factors in tendon homeostasis. Some studies have found SP to be the cause of inflammation and tendinopathy, whereas others have determined it to be a critical component of tendon healing. As demonstrated by these conflicting findings, the effects of SP on tendinopathy remain unclear. In this study, we hypothesized that the duration of SP exposure determines its effect on the tendons, with repetitive long-term exposure leading to the development of tendinopathy. First, we verified the changes in gene and protein expression using in vitro tenocytes with 10-day exposure to SP. SP and SP + Run groups were injected with SP in their Achilles tendon every other day for 14 days. Achilles tendons were then harvested for biomechanical testing and histological processing. Notably, tendinopathic changes with decreased tensile strength, as observed in the Positive Control, were observed in the Achilles in the SP group compared to the Negative Control. Subsequent histological analysis, including Alcian blue staining, also revealed alterations in the Achilles tendon, which were generally consistent with the findings of tendinopathy in SP and SP + Run groups.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
