Purposes: Incomplete tendon healing impairs the outcome of tendon ruptures and tendinopathies. Human Adipose-derived Stem Cells (hASCs) are promising for tissue engineering applications. Extracorporeal Shock Waves (ESW) are a leading choice for the treatment of several tendinopathies. In this study, we investigated the effects of ESW treatment and tenogenic medium on the differentiation of hASCs into tenoblast-like cells.
Materials And Methods: hASCs were treated with ESW generated by a piezoelectric device and tenogenic medium. Quantitative real-time PCR was used to check the mRNA expression levels of tenogenic transcription factors, extracellular matrix proteins, and integrins. Western blot and immunofluorescence were used to detect collagen 1 and fibronectin. Collagen fibers were evaluated by Masson staining. Calcium deposition was assessed by Alizarin Red staining.
Results: The combined treatment improved the expression of the tendon transcription factors scleraxis and eyes absent 2, and of the extracellular matrix proteins fibronectin, collagen I, and tenomodulin. Cells acquired elongated and spindle shaped fibroblastic morphology; Masson staining revealed the appearance of collagen fibers. Finally, the combined treatment induced the expression of alpha 2, alpha 6, and beta 1 integrin subunits, suggesting a possible role in mediating ESW effects.
Conclusions: ESW in combination with tenogenic medium improved the differentiation of hASCs toward tenoblast-like cells, providing the basis for ESW and hASCs to be used in tendon tissue engineering.

Tendon healing is frequently prolonged, unpredictable, and results in poor tissue quality. Neotissue formed by adult multipotent stromal cells has the potential to guide healthy tendon tissue formation. The objective of this study was to characterize tendon neotissue generated by equine adult adipose-derived multipotent stromal cells (ASCs) on collagen type I (COLI) templates under 10% strain in a novel bioreactor.

Background: Inadequate repair capacity and disturbed immune compartments are the main pathological causes of tendinopathy. Transplantation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) become an effective clinic option to alleviate tendinopathy. Interleukin-1β (IL-1β) could confer on MSCs enhanced immunoregulatory capability to remodel the repair microenvironment favoring tissue repair.

Background: Tendon-derived stem cells (TDSCs) are proposed as a potential cell-seed for the treatment of tendon injury due to their tenogenic differentiation potential. In this work, we defined the action of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) muscle differentiation 1 (LINCMD1) in tenogenic differentiation of human TDSCs (hTDSCs).
Methods: Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) was used to assess the levels of LINCMD1, microRNA (miR)-342-3p, and early growth response-1 (EGR1) mRNA.

In tissue development and homeostasis, transforming growth factor (TGF)-β signaling is finely coordinated by latent forms and matrix sequestration. Optogenetics can offer precise and dynamic control of cell signaling. We report the development of an optogenetic human induced pluripotent stem cell system for TGF-β signaling and demonstrate its utility in directing differentiation into the smooth muscle, tenogenic, and chondrogenic lineages.

Enthesis repair remains a challenging clinical indication. Herein, a three-layer scaffold composed of a tendon-like layer of collagen type I, a fibrocartilage-like layer of collagen type II and a bone-like layer of collagen type I and hydroxyapatite, was designed to recapitulate the matrix composition of the enthesis. To aid tenogenic and fibrochondrogenic differentiation, bioactive molecules were loaded in the tendon-like layer or the fibrocartilage-like layer and their effect was assessed in setting using human bone marrow derived mesenchymal stromal cells and in an model.
