Axin2-lineage cells contribute to neonatal tendon regeneration.
Purpose: Tendon injuries are a challenging clinical problem with few treatment options. Identifying the molecular regulators of tendon is required for the development of new therapies. While the Wnt pathway is critical for the maintenance and differentiation of many tissues, the role of Wnt signaling in tendon cell biology remains largely unexplored.
Methods: The effects of Wnt activation were tested in vitro using neonatal tendon-derived cells cultured in 2D and 3D conditions. The inducible Axin2CreERT2 was then used to label Axin2+ cells in vivo and cells were traced during neonatal tendon regeneration.
Results: We showed that activation of Wnt signaling results in proliferation of neonatal tendon cells. While tendon marker expression was inhibited by Wnt activation under 2D conditions, Scx expression was not affected under 3D uniaxial tension, suggesting that the microenvironment contextualizes tendon cell response to Wnt signaling. Using an in vivo model of neonatal tendon regeneration, we further showed that Wnt signaling cells comprise a subpopulation of tenocyte and epitenon cells that proliferate after injury and are recruited during regeneration.
Discussion: Collectively, these studies suggest that Wnt signaling may play a role in tendon cell proliferation, differentiation, and regeneration.
期刊介绍:
The aim of Connective Tissue Research is to present original and significant research in all basic areas of connective tissue and matrix biology.
The journal also provides topical reviews and, on occasion, the proceedings of conferences in areas of special interest at which original work is presented.
The journal supports an interdisciplinary approach; we present a variety of perspectives from different disciplines, including
Biochemistry
Cell and Molecular Biology
Immunology
Structural Biology
Biophysics
Biomechanics
Regenerative Medicine
The interests of the Editorial Board are to understand, mechanistically, the structure-function relationships in connective tissue extracellular matrix, and its associated cells, through interpretation of sophisticated experimentation using state-of-the-art technologies that include molecular genetics, imaging, immunology, biomechanics and tissue engineering.
