项目摘要

Research Core Summary Achilles tendinopathy is a painful, debilitating, and chronic tendon condition. Patients receive physical therapy as the first step in conservative treatment. These physical therapy protocols – which are the only non- surgical treatments paid for by most insurers – prescribe mechanical loads as a therapeutic agent. However, sixty percent of patients continue to report painful symptoms after 5 years, and fifty percent of patients seek surgical treatment after conservative treatment fails. Therefore, maximizing the therapeutic effectiveness of mechanical loading is critical towards improving patient outcomes and reducing the need for costly and often ineffective surgical treatments. To meet this unmet clinical need, our proposed Research Projects will establish the mechano-responsiveness of tendon cells throughout tendinopathy disease progression and elucidate the mechanotransductive mechanisms that regulate cell fate and tissue homeostasis to attenuate disease progression and improve tendon healing. To accelerate clinical translation, the overall objective of this Achilles Tendinopathy Tissue Core is to provide patient and clinically relevant rat tendon samples, ranging from healthy to degenerated, combined with the most complete set of longitudinal in vivo assays to maximize the translational impact of our Research Projects proposed in this P50 application, as well as numerous NIH funded projects at Penn aimed at improving tendon healing by our P50 team of investigators. In Aim 1, we will retrieve patient tissues to investigate end-stage Achilles tendinopathy mechano-sensitivity. In Aim 2, we will leverage a tendinopathy preclinical model to investigate disease pathogenesis. These 2 aims will utilize an extensive battery of in vivo assays including gait analysis, loading monitoring, joint mechanics, ultrasound imaging, and metabolomics to maximize research translation from our exciting Research Projects to clinical populations. In Aim 3, we will develop novel techniques to translate preclinical findings to improve patient care. These translational tools are necessary for follow-up animal experiments and clinical trials that will test the effectiveness of personalized rehabilitative care at improving tendon healing and outcomes while addressing existing inequitable care delivery for patients with Achilles tendon injuries. We will accelerate fundamental discovery research and translation through preclinical studies to clinical populations. By establishing the Achilles Tendinopathy Tissue Core, we will provide unique and rigorous techniques and expertise, as well as carefully controlled and characterized study material to tendon researchers locally, and ultimately nationally, while developing critical new technologies to improve patient care in future clinical research. We selected Achilles tendinopathy to address a common and debilitating condition while demonstrating the proof-of-concept model paradigm that leveraging patient tissues with preclinical models will accelerate fundamental discovery to more effective and equitable musculoskeletal care.

研究核心总结跟腱病是一种疼痛、使人衰弱的慢性肌腱疾病。这些物理治疗方案是唯一非保守治疗的第一步。大多数保险公司支付手术治疗费用——规定机械负荷作为治疗剂。百分之六十的患者在 5 年后仍报告疼痛症状，百分之五十的患者寻求治疗因此，保守治疗无效后才进行手术治疗，才能最大限度地发挥治疗效果。机械负荷对于改善患者治疗效果和减少昂贵且频繁的手术需求至关重要为了满足这种未满足的临床需求，我们提出的研究项目将建立。肌腱细胞在整个肌腱病疾病进展过程中的机械反应性，并阐明调节细胞命运和组织稳态以减轻疾病的机械传导机制进展和改善肌腱愈合，加速临床转化，这是跟腱的总体目标。肌腱病组织核心旨在提供患者和临床相关的大鼠肌腱样本，范围从健康与最完整的纵向体内测定相结合，以最大限度地提高转化率我们在此 P50 申请中提出的研究项目以及 NIH 资助的众多项目的影响 Penn 的 P50 研究小组旨在改善肌腱愈合，目标 1 是我们将回收患者。在目标 2 中，我们将利用组织来研究终末期跟腱病机械敏感性。肌腱病临床前模型来研究疾病发病机制这两个目标将利用广泛的电池。体内分析，包括步态分析、负荷监测、关节力学、超声成像和代谢组学，最大限度地将我们令人兴奋的研究项目的研究成果转化为临床人群。目标 3，我们将开发新技术来转化临床前研究结果，以改善患者护理。后续动物实验和临床试验需要转化工具来测试其有效性个性化康复护理在改善肌腱愈合和结果的同时解决现有问题为跟腱损伤患者提供不公平的护理我们将加快根本性发现。通过建立跟腱，将临床前研究转化为临床人群。肌腱病组织核心，我们将提供独特而严谨的技术和专业知识，以及精心向当地并最终全国范围内的肌腱研究人员提供控制和表征的研究材料，同时开发关键的新技术以改善未来临床研究中的患者护理，我们选择了 Achilles。肌腱病可解决一种常见且令人衰弱的疾病，同时演示概念验证模型利用临床前模型的患者组织将加速基础发现有效和公平的肌肉骨骼护理。
