Adult stem cells are easily harvested for stem cell therapy. 1177/23259671211023452. Bharadwaj, S., Liu, G., Shi, Y., Wu, R., Yang, B., He, T., et al. However, it seemed that the effect augmented with BMSCs dissipated by 4 weeks (Degen et al., 2016). The rotator cuff (Fig. It comprises resident cells and the extracellular matrix (ECM).
They have highly expressed tendon-related genes, including COL1A1, tenascin C (TNC), Scleraxis (Scx), and Tenomodulin (TNMD), which may contribute to spontaneous tenogenic differentiation (Guo et al., 2016). Research has used a variety of scores and scales (Table 2) to assess quality of repair. The delivery system in rotator cuff repair includes, decellularized tissues, electrospun nanofiber scaffolds, hydrogels, and patterned scaffolds, but is not limited to these (Longo et al., 2012; Saveh-Shemshaki, 2019). Techniques Used for the Isolation and Characterization of Extracellular Vesicles: Results of a Worldwide Survey. Platelet-rich plasma injection with arthroscopic acromioplasty for chronic rotator cuff tendinopathy: a randomized controlled trial. Garg, T., Singh, O., Arora, S., and Murthy, R.

Dr. Provencher begins stem cell therapy for the shoulder joint by extracting a small sample of bone marrow from the patient, commonly from the back of the pelvis.
Reiner, A. T., Witwer, K. W., van Balkom, B. W. M., de Beer, J., Brodie, C., Corteling, R. Concise Review: Developing Best-Practice Models for the Therapeutic Use of Extracellular Vesicles. Several studies have demonstrated the promising results of engineered EVs in tendon repair and regeneration. DEAR MAYO CLINIC: What's the latest information on using stem cell therapy to treat an arthritic shoulder that causes excessive pain? Ciardulli, M. C., Marino, L., Lovecchio, J., Giordano, E., Forsyth, N. R., Selleri, C., et al. Pina, S., Ribeiro, V. P., Marques, C. F., Maia, F. R., Silva, T. H., Reis, R. Scaffolding Strategies for Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine Applications. 2011a) showed that BMSCs transfected to overexpress Scx promoted the formation of fibrocartilage at the tendon insertion and improved biomechanical strength at 4 weeks for rats who underwent unilateral detachment and repair of the supraspinatus tendon. Such techniques include the use of platelet-rich plasma (PRP), a substance that when injected releases various growth factors that play a role in tissue repair; the use of stem cells, usually mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), which have the ability to self-renew and differentiate to various tissues [3]; and the use of tissue-engineered approaches which use various scaffolds and patches to augment repair [4, 5]. The methods of separation and concentration may vary depending on the size of EVs and the purpose of end-use.
The safest and most effective form of stem cells used for treatment is derived from the client's own blood. Additionally, gene-modified stem cells can inhibit inflammation during the healing process. Progress using stem cells to treat arthritis already has been reported, with the ultimate goal of using stem cells to regrow cartilage. In a rat Achilles tendon injury model, treatment with HUMSC-EVs improved the histological structure, enhanced tendon-specific matrix components, and optimized biomechanical properties of the Achilles tendon, which was related to the overexpression of miR-29a-3p regulated by PTEN/mTOR/TGF-β1 signaling (Yao et al., 2021). ADSC-derived EVs (ADSC-EVs) have regeneration and immunomodulation capacities (Chen et al., 2021; Wang et al., 2021). Moreover, gene therapy and biomaterials expand the effectiveness of the application of stem cell therapy by regulating the environment, stimulating directional differentiation, and ensuring high efficacy of delivery. TSPCs are so named because they can be harvested and isolated from the tendon of the supraspinatus and the long head of the biceps during arthroscopic rotator cuff repair procedures (Tsai et al., 2013; Dei Giudici and Castricini, 2020). 1177/0363546508314416.

Medical screening, review of relevant imaging, and physical examination are key to deciding the best treatment approach to address your pain and joint disease or injury. In the remodeling stage, the density of cells and the synthesis of ECM components both decrease. Wang, M., Yang, Y., Yang, D., Luo, F., Liang, W., Guo, S., et al. The authors' goals are to help physicians better understand the appropriate terminology for the most commonly used biologic agents; critically review the current literature on the use of various biologic agents in the treatment of the most common shoulder pathologies; and highlight emerging therapies and potential future applications of biologic agents in the management of these shoulder pathologies. Future studies need to explore stem cell therapy in combination with cellular factors, gene therapy, and novel biomaterial delivery systems. Results in rats showed that it only worked in the young and old, suggesting that there needs to be an imbalance in the tendon (growing/ageing).

Ruiz-Alonso, S., Lafuente-Merchan, M., Ciriza, J., Saenz-del-Burgo, L., and Pedraz, J. L. Tendon Tissue Engineering: Cells, Growth Factors, Scaffolds and Production Techniques. As such, ATI could provide an ethical alternative, as it uses autologous tenocytes to create a healing response by utilising growth factors, interleukins, and organised collagen fibres (Schwab et al., [38]). In addition, biomaterials containing magnetic elements have been developed to mechanically stimulate stem cells in tendon regeneration. 1177/2325967117734517. Innovation in the field of biomaterials has driven the development of regenerative medicine and tissue engineering. Regenerative therapies have been focused on improving the healing of the rotator cuff and decreasing the chance of re-tears. 6% in the 80s (Minagawa et al., 2013). Unfortunately, the excitement surrounding emerging stem cell therapy has led some patients and health care providers to overlook the lack of scientific evidence to support its use at this time. MMP-2 Responsive Unidirectional Hydrogel-Electrospun Patch Loading TGF-Beta 1 siRNA Polyplexes for Peritendinous Anti-Adhesion. This form of regenerative medicine is considered a safe and effective treatment that does not involve the ethical concerns associated with fetal stem cells since adult stem cells are harvested directly from the patient's body. Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) are the first-discovered mesenchymal stem cells, which act as pluripotent cells (Heo et al., 2016) with multilineage differentiation ability (Docheva et al., 2007; Dai et al., 2015; Perucca Orfei et al., 2019) into adipocytes, osteoblasts and chondrocytes, and tenocytes. EVs have become an attractive approach in regenerative medicine because they exert biological activities like those of stem cells and overcome the shortages of cell-based therapy, such as cell expansion, low survival rate, and potential immunological rejection (Keshtkar et al., 2018; Woo et al., 2020). Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cell-Derived Exosomes Promote Tendon Regeneration by Facilitating the Proliferation and Migration of Endogenous Tendon Stem/Progenitor Cells. In the inflammatory stage, inflammatory cells are attracted to the injury site by pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as neutrophils, monocytes, and macrophages and they yield inflammatory cytokines, including interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-1β (Lin et al., 2004).
Of all the regenerative techniques that will be critiqued in this review, the use of platelets has been investigated in humans more than studies in stem cell research and tissue-engineered approaches. Additionally, the formation of scar tissue at the injury site can cause tissue adhesion and joint stiffness, as well as poor mechanical properties, which increase the risk of retear (Thomopoulos et al., 2010). Engineered Tendon-Fibrocartilage-Bone Composite and Bone Marrow-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cell Sheet Augmentation Promotes Rotator Cuff Healing in a Non-Weight-Bearing Canine Model. Stem Cells Transl Med. Extracellular Vesicles Delivered by Injectable Collagen Promote Bone-Tendon Interface Healing and Prevent Fatty Degeneration of Rotator Cuff Muscle. Orr, S. B., Chainani, A., Hippensteel, K. J., Kishan, A., Gilchrist, C., Garrigues, N. Aligned Multilayered Electrospun Scaffolds for Rotator Cuff Tendon Tissue Engineering. Tissue engineering is providing novel techniques with very promising results, although not one 'gold-standard' has been determined for rotator cuff repair. Results also demonstrated that PRP can reduce pain and increase functionality, strength, and vascularisation post-surgery.

Dr. Pifer also offers telemedicine appointments, so you can receive guidance from the comfort of your home. Biomaterials are bioresorbable and gradually degraded so that tissues have sufficient space for regeneration as well as negligible immunogenicity and side effects locally and systematically (Garg et al., 2012). Kasper, G., Mao, L., Geissler, S., Draycheva, A., Trippens, J., Kühnisch, J., et al. In addition, ADSC-EVs regulate the early inflammatory response in rotator cuff healing by decreasing the M1 macrophage, enhancing the M2 macrophage, and reducing the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, and MMP-9 (Liu H. In a human supraspinatus explant experiment, ADSC-EVs maintained homeostasis of the impaired tendon by increasing expression of COL1A1, COL3A1, and an elevated type I/III ratio and by decreasing expression of MMP-9 and MMP-13 (Zhang et al., 2021). Because of this advantage, engineered EVs are also regarded as candidate cargo to realize gene therapy for injuries. Use of graft jacket as an augmentation for massive rotator cuff tears. This suggests that large-diameter fibers (e. g., >2 μm) may be more suitable for MSC differentiation into tendon lineage than small-diameter fibers (Cardwell et al., 2014). There are tendon stem/progenitor cells (TSPCs), also commonly termed tendon-derived stem cells (TDSCs), which are capable of renewing tenocytes through differentiation and proliferation to maintain homeostasis (Bi et al., 2007). Oper Tech Sports Med. Thus, non-viral vectors, such as plasmids, increase the interest of researchers in gene delivery because of their safety, simple manufacture, and lower immunogenicity. Conflict of interest. Regenerative therapies are looking for new and novel ways of improving the healing of tendon injuries. Lamplot JD, Angeline M, Angeles J, Beederman M, Wagner E, Rastegar F, et al.
Author Contributions. Regenerative medicine in rotator cuff injuries. However, the effectiveness of the delivery of these genes by EVs has not been confirmed.
