The immunogenicity of tendon-derived stem cells (TDSCs) has implications for their clinical use for the promotion of tendon repair. The immunogenicity and escape mechanisms of rat patellar TDSCs were examined after allogeneic transplantation. Our results showed that TDSCs exhibited low immunogenicity as evidenced by the following: (i) the incubation of target TDSCs with immunized serum did not show antibody recognition and did not induce the complement-dependent cytotoxicity; (ii) target TDSCs elicited a very low level of lymphocyte proliferation and did not exhibit host lymphocyte-mediated cytotoxicity; and (iii) target TDSCs dose dependently suppressed the phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA)- and ionomycin-induced host lymphocyte proliferation. For the mechanistic studies, TDSCs expressed major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-I but a very low level of MHC-II, CD86 and CD80 for the induction of T-cell response. Also, TDSCs were found to express intracellular Fas and FasL. γ-IFN pretreatment did not increase the level of MHC-II and CD86 for the upregulation of immune response. Moreover, the immunosuppressive mediators indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) and transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-β1) were found not to be involved in the escape mechanism of target TDSCs from host lymphocyte attack. In conclusion, allogeneic TDSCs exhibited low immunogenicity. Allogeneic TDSCs might be used for transplantation.

Article Synopsis
- Tendinopathy is a common musculoskeletal disorder that impacts patients' quality of life, with early diagnosis and targeted treatments vital for better outcomes.
- The study highlights the connection between reactive oxygen species (ROS) and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in tendon-derived stem cells (TDSCs), both of which are important in the development of tendinopathy, although the specific role of ONOO in this process is still unclear.
- Researchers developed two sensitive fluorescent probes to measure ONOO levels in TDSCs, which can aid in understanding its dynamics during different stages of tendinopathy and improve treatment approaches.

Article Synopsis
- - This study explores how eupalinolide A (EA) can prevent abnormal bone formation in tendon-derived stem cells (TDSCs), which is important for treating traumatic heterotopic ossification (HO).
- - EA was found to inhibit the osteogenic differentiation of TDSCs by targeting the YAP signaling pathway, promoting YAP's degradation through a specific autophagy pathway.
- - In mouse models, local injections of EA successfully reduced tendon HO following trauma, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic agent and suggesting that targeting HECW1 involved in YAP degradation could be a new treatment strategy.

Background: Tendons are important dense fibrous structures connecting muscle to bone, and tendon stem cells (TDSCs) affect their repair and regeneration. The role of TDSC-derived exosomes (TDSC-Exos) is still being unexplored; therefore, this study aimed to investigate the protective effect of TDSC-Exos on tenocytes.
Methods: The TDSCs and tenocytes were all derived from Sprague Dawley (SD) rats.

Objectives: Excessive inflammation contributes to the pathogenesis of tendinopathy. Fatty acid binding protein 4 (FABP4) is a pro-inflammatory adipokine mediating various metabolic and inflammatory diseases. This study aimed to examine the expression of FABP4 and its association with the expressions of inflammatory cytokines in tendinopathy.

The pathogenesis of trauma-induced heterotopic ossification (HO) in the tendon remains unclear, posing a challenging hurdle in treatment. Recognizing inflammation as the root cause of HO, anti-inflammatory agents hold promise for its management. Malvidin (MA), possessing anti-inflammatory properties, emerges as a potential agent to impede HO progression.
