PMID- 31115927 OWN - NLM STAT- MEDLINE DCOM- 20200218 LR - 20200218 IS - 1554-527X (Electronic) IS - 0736-0266 (Linking) VI - 37 IP - 10 DP - 2019 Oct TI - Restoration of Cellular Proliferation and Characteristics of Human Tenocytes by Vitamin D. PG - 2241-2248 LID - 10.1002/jor.24352 [doi] AB - Vitamin D (Vit D) increases calcium absorption in the intestine after binding to the Vit D receptor (VDR). The VDR has also been identified in muscle cells. Vit D supplementation resulted in improved muscle strength. However, there is a paucity of studies of the role of Vit D on tenocytes. We investigated the effects of Vit D on damaged tenocytes. Human tenocytes were treated with dexamethasone (Dex) to induce cell injury. Expression of the tenocyte-related markers tenomodulin (Tnmd), tenascin C (Tnc), scleraxis (Scx), mohawk (Mkx), and collagen (Col) 1 and 3 were measured. Then, tenocytes were cotreated with Vit D. 1-alpha-Hydroxylase and VDR were explored in tenocytes. With 10 muM Dex, the growth of tenocytes was significantly inhibited, and the gene expression of Tnmd, Tnc, Scx, Mkx, Col 1 and 3 also decreased. When tenocytes were cotreated with Vit D, cell proliferation recovered in a dose-dependent manner, and the expression of TNMD and Col 1 improved. When studying the mechanisms of the effects of Vit D on tenocytes, reactive oxygen species produced by Dex decreased with Vit D, and the phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase and p38 was stimulated by Vit D cotreatment. 1-alpha-Hydroxylase and VDR were found in tenocytes, indicating that the cells have the ability to use an inactive form of Vit D and interact with it. Vit D is known to perform diverse actions and its protective effects on tenocytes suggest its beneficial role in tendon in addition to muscle and bone. (c) 2019 Orthopaedic Research Society.
