Previous studies have shown strong evidence that diabetes is associatedwith higher risk of tendinopathy. Tendinopathy is a complex pathology that reduces tolerance toexercise and functional activities affecting lifestyle and glycaemic control. However, themechanisms of diabetic tendinopathy remained to be investigated. Diabetic tendinopathy is causedby tendon pathological changes in high glucose levels through altered tendon-related transcriptionfactors expression and tissue homeostasis. Furthermore, hyperglycemia-induced vasculopathy maycause tendon tissue hypoxia and initiate hypoxia-signaling cascades. Exercise is an importantelement in the control of diabetes. Under mechanical loading condition, tenocytes convertmechanical signals into intracellular signals, and induce adaptive responses. To our knowledge,there has been no report attempting to investigate the molecular mechanisms andmechanobiological responses in diabetic tendinopathy. This project contributes to the developmentof prevention and treatment strategies, and provide the evidence for clinicians and diabetic patientsthe effects of exercise on diabetic tendons.Purpose: The study aims to elucidate the molecular mechanisms and mechanobiological responsesin diabetic tendinopathy in vivo and in vitro. The study proposed will be conducted in threeconsequent stages through a three-year period. In the first year, we plan to investigate the molecularmechanisms in diabetic tendinopathy. In the second year, we plan to investigate circulation changesin diabetic tendon and molecular mechanisms during tendon cell hypoxia. In the third year, we planto investigate the mechanobiological responses in diabetic tendinopathy.Methods: In the first year, high fat diet and low dose streptozotocin (STZ) were used to create typeII diabetic rat model. Tendon tissue morphology, transcription factors of Scx, Mkx and Egr1,TGF-βs, matrix proteins of Col1a1, Tnmd, Tn-C and Dcn were assayed by immunohistochemicalanalysis. 5.5 and 25mM glucose, and 30μg/ml insulin were administered to monolayer culture oftenocytes. The viability, glucose uptake, specific gene expression, siRNA and signal transductionpathways were evaluated. In the second year, tendon tissue vascularity, HIF-1α and VEGF wereassayed by immunohistochemical analysis. Oxygen saturation and total hemoglobin were evaluatedby a red laser probe. 21% and 2% O2, and 5.5 and 25mM glucose were administered to monolayerculture of tenocytes. Transcription factors, HIF-1α, ROS, NO, mitochondrial membrane potential,TUNEL stain and signaling pathways were evaluated. In the third year, rats in the treadmill runninggroup were trained at 50 min/day and 5 days/week for 8 weeks. Tendon tissue morphology,vascularity and oxygen saturation were evaluated. 1 Hz 0, 5% or 10% cyclic strain wereadministered to monolayer culture of tenocytes for 120 minutes/day. RhoA/ROCK pathway wereassayed by Western blotting and immunofluorescence. Tendon related transcription factors anddownstream gene expression were also investigated.糖尿病肌腱病變轉錄因子缺氧力學生物學Diabetes mellitustendinopathytranscription factorshypoxiamechanobiologyIn Vivo and in Vitro Investigation of Molecular Mechanism and Mechanobiology in Diabetic Tendinopathy
