Curcumin Improves Functional Recovery of Ruptured Tendon by Promoting Tenogenesis via PI3K/Akt Signaling.
Objective: In our previous study, we found that local release of curcumin from nanomicelles prevents peritendinous adhesion during Achilles tendon healing. The aim of this study is to further investigate the signaling integrated by curcumin to direct the tenogenetic program of tendon stem cells contributing to tendon healing.
Methods: A surgical model of tendon rupture and repair (TRR) was established in rats. Peritendinous adhesion and inflammation, biomechanical function, and expression of β-catenin and epithelial cellular adhesion molecule (EpCAM) were determined. A dataset was analyzed to investigate differentially expressed genes and enriched genes related to the signaling pathways. Tendon stem cells were treated with curcumin to investigate the cellular and molecular events as well as the signaling pathway.
Results: In rat TRR model, curcumin treatment resulted in not only significantly decreased peritendinous inflammatory but also improved tendon functional recovery along with significantly increased expressions of EpCAM and β-catenin. Analysis of the dataset indicated that the enriched genes were positively related to differentiation pathways but negatively related to proliferation pathways. In rat tendon stem cells, curcumin treatment inhibited proliferation but promoted differentiation. Curcumin's antioxidative activity was associated with tenogenesis. The upregulated expression of tendon lineage-specific markers was dependent on phosphatidylinositol 3'-kinase/Akt (PI3K/Akt) pathway which could be a potential mechanism of tenogenesis of curcumin treatment.
Conclusion: Curcumin could improve tendon functional recovery via promoting tenogenesis in addition to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. Curcumin induced differentiation of tendon stem/progenitor cell into tenocytes via PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. This finding provided evidence for the application of curcumin to prevent adhesion during tendon repair.
