Tendinopathy, a prevalent overuse injury, lacks effective treatment options, leading to a significant impact on quality of life and socioeconomic burden. Mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) and their secretome, including conditioned medium (CM) and extracellular vesicles (EVs), have shown promise in tissue regeneration and immunomodulation. However, it remains unclear which components of the secretome contribute to their therapeutic effects. This study aimed to compare the efficacy of CM, EVs, and the soluble protein fraction (PF) in treating inflamed tenocytes. CM exhibited the highest protein and particle concentrations, followed by PF and EVs. Inflammation significantly altered gene expression in tenocytes, with CM showing the most distinct separation from the inflamed control group. Treatment with CM resulted in the most significant differential gene expression, with both upregulated and downregulated genes related to inflammation and tissue regeneration. EV treatment also demonstrated a therapeutic effect, albeit to a lesser extent. These findings suggest that CM holds superior therapeutic efficacy compared with its EV fraction alone, emphasizing the importance of the complete secretome in tendon injury treatment.
肌腱病是一种常见的过度使用损伤,缺乏有效的治疗选择,对生活质量和社会经济负担有重大影响。间充质干细胞(MSCs)及其分泌组,包括条件培养基(CM)和细胞外囊泡(EVs),在组织再生和免疫调节方面显示出了潜力。然而,目前尚不清楚分泌组的哪些成分对其治疗效果有贡献。本研究旨在比较 CM、EVs 和可溶性蛋白部分(PF)在治疗炎性肌腱细胞中的疗效。CM 表现出最高的蛋白和颗粒浓度,其次是 PF 和 EVs。炎症显著改变了肌腱细胞的基因表达,CM 与炎性对照组的分离最为明显。CM 处理导致最显著的差异基因表达,上调和下调的基因都与炎症和组织再生有关。EV 治疗也表现出治疗效果,尽管程度较小。这些发现表明,CM 比其 EV 部分具有更好的治疗效果,强调了完整的分泌组在肌腱损伤治疗中的重要性。
