Berberine (BBR) is an isoquinoline alkaloid isolated from Coptis chinensis and possesses valuable pharmacological activities, including anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, and alleviating several complications of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, the role of BBR in regulating diabetic tendon injury remains poorly understood. In this study, a rat model of T2DM was constructed, and cell apoptosis and autophagy were assessed in tendon tissues after BBR treatment through TdT-Mediated dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL) assay and immunohistochemical analysis.
