Downloaded from Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases, 1987; 46, 385-390 Isolation and growth characteristics of adult human tendon fibroblasts M D CHARD, J K WRIGHT, AND B L HAZLEMAN From the Rheumatology Research Unit, Addenbrooke's Hospital, Hills Road, Cambridge SUMMARY An explant method for the isolation of fibroblasts from adult human tendon is described. Cells were successfully isolated from 22 out of 27 common biceps tendons obtained from cadaveric donors (age range 11-83 years). The fibroblasts could be maintained in culture using standard methods and morphologically resembled those of synovial rather than dermal origin. Growth characteristics of 12 cell lines were assessed by deoxyribose nucleic acid (DNA) synthesis using [3H]thymidine incorporation in response to stimulation by fetal calf serum. Cells obtained separately from superficial and deep parts of the tendons produced almost identical responses. No significant reduction in growth response with increasing age was found when related to the age of the donor. Therefore this study did not show any age related defect in the short term tendon fibroblast replicative responses to serum. Key words: in vitro, DNA synthesis. copyright.

However, how the gross morphology and the multi-scale hierarchical structure of 14 rat tendons, such as the tail, plantaris, and Achillles tendons, compare to that of human 15 tendons are unknown. In addition, there remains disagreement about terminology and 16 definitions. Specifically, the definition of fascicle and fiber are often dependent on the diameter 17 size and not their characteristic features, which impairs the ability to compare across species 18 where the size of the fiber and fascicle might change with animal size and tendon function. 19 Thus, the objective of the study was to select a single species that is widely used for tendon 20 research (rat) and tendons with varying mechanical functions (tail, plantaris, Achilles) to 21 evaluate the hierarchical structure at multiple length scales.

Received: 31 May 2018; Accepted: 25 June 2018; Published: 29 June 2018 Abstract: Tissue engineering is a promising approach to repair tendon and muscle when natural healing fails. Biohybrid constructs obtained after cells’ seeding and culture in dedicated scaffolds have indeed been considered as relevant tools for mimicking native tissue, leading to a better integration in vivo. They can also be employed to perform advanced in vitro studies to model the cell differentiation or regeneration processes. In this review, we report and analyze the different solutions proposed in literature, for the reconstruction of tendon, muscle, and the myotendinous junction. They classically rely on the three pillars of tissue engineering, i.e., cells, biomaterials and environment (both chemical and physical stimuli). We have chosen to present biomimetic or bioinspired strategies based on understanding of the native tissue structure/functions/properties of the tissue of interest.

Under the auspices of the World Association of Veterinary Anatomists (W.A.V.A.), the International Committee on Veterinary Anatomical Nomenclature (I.C.V.A.N.) appointed in Giessen, 1965, a Subcommittee on Histology and Embryology which started a working relation with the Subcommittee on Histology of the former International Anatomical Nomenclature Committee. In Mexico City, 1971, this Subcommittee presented a document entitled Nomina Histologica Veterinaria: A Working Draft as a basis for the continued work of the newly-appointed Subcommittee on Histological Nomenclature. This resulted in the editing of the Nomina Histologica Veterinaria: A Working Draft II (Toulouse, 1974), followed by preparations for publication of a Nomina Histologica Veterinaria.

Along with an increasing incidence of tendon injuries, tendon disorders can burden the quality of life of patients or the career of athletes. Current treatments involve surgical reconstruction and conservative therapy. Especially in the elderly population, tendon recovery requires lengthy periods and it may result in unsatisfactory outcome. Cell-mediated tendon engineering is a rapidly progressing experimental and pre-clinical field, which holds great potential for an alternative approach to established medical treatments. The selection of an appropriate cell source is critical and remains under investigation. Dermal fibroblasts exhibit multiple similarities to tendon cells, suggesting they may be a promising cell source for tendon engineering. Hence, the purpose of this review article was in brief, to compare tendon to dermis tissues, and summarize in vitro studies on tenogenic differentiation of dermal fibroblasts.

Fibroblast is used in tendon healing, however, there is no proved and reported result regarding concurrent use of allogenic fibroblast with static magnetic field in tendon healing. In addition, there are some studies done on the effect of magnetic fields on tendon healing but the results are antithesis. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of simultaneous application of fibroblast and magnetic field on tendon healing in rabbit model. Design- Experimental study. Animals- Eighteen female rabbits, 15 months old and weighing 3.0±0.5 kg were used in this study. Procedures- Two legs of eighteen rabbits were divided into 6 groups. After skin incision, superficial flexor tendon was exposed and cut transversely and then sutured. In control group tendon injury were created in right and left legs and sutured in bunnell mayer suturing technique. In culture media substance group after tendon injury in two legs, 0.5 cc culture substance was injected in the injured tendon area in two legs. In fibroblast group, fibroblast cells were injected in the tendon injured area in both legs. Then all injuries legs were dressed up, a piece of magnet was placed in the surrounding bandage of the left leg for 7 days and right legs were left empty.

  • White Adipocyte Plasticity in Physiology and Disease
    cells Review White Adipocyte Plasticity in Physiology and Disease Ewa Bielczyk-Maczynska Department of Chemical and Systems Biology, Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94305, USA; [email protected] Received: 19 October 2019; Accepted: 21 November 2019; Published: 25 November 2019 Abstract: Cellular plasticity is a transformation of a terminally differentiated cell into another cell type, which has been long known to occur in disease and regeneration. However, white adipocytes (fat cells) have only recently been observed to undergo different types of cellular plasticity. Adipocyte transdifferentiation into myofibroblasts and cancer-associated fibroblasts occurs in fibrosis and cancer, respectively. On the other hand, reversible adipocyte dedifferentiation into adipocyte progenitor cells (preadipocytes) has been demonstrated in mammary gland and in dermal adipose tissue. Here we discuss the research on adipocyte plasticity, including the experimental approaches that allowed to detect and study it, the current state of the knowledge, major research questions which remain to be addressed, and the advances required to stimulate adipocyte plasticity research. In the future, the knowledge of the molecular mechanisms of adipocyte plasticity can be utilized both to prevent adipocyte plasticity in disease and to stimulate it for use in regenerative medicine. Keywords: cell plasticity; adipocytes; fat; cell dedifferentiation; cell transdifferentiation; cell differentiation 1. Introduction In the traditional view of cell differentiation, cells follow a differentiation trajectory in discrete developmental stages, beginning with stem cells and culminating with a terminally differentiated state [1]. The terminally differentiated state is thought to be permanent as the cells can no longer transfer into other cell fates. However, in many systems the phenomenon of cellular plasticity, which is a transformation of a cellular phenotype beginning with a terminally differentiated cell, has been described not only in pathologies like cancer, but also during physiological processes [2].

Extracellular Matrix Regulates Fibroblast Heterogeneity And Tumorigenesis Abstract Heterogeneous activated fibroblasts that deposit and remodel extracellular matrix (ECM) comprise desmoplasia, a key regulator of tumor development. The divergent outcomes in response to varied therapies targeting intratumoral desmoplasia underscore the pressing need to delineate the intricate role of a heterogeneous stroma in tumorigenesis. Fibroblast activation protein (FAP) and alpha-smooth muscle actin (αSMA) identify distinct, yet overlapping, activated fibroblast subsets in myriad tumor types, fibrosis, and wound healing. FAPHi reactive fibroblasts and αSMAHi myofibroblasts can exert divergent influences on tumor progression. However, the factors that drive this phenotypic heterogeneity and the
