简介
Overuse injuries and trauma in tendon often involve acute or chronic pain and eventual matrix destruction. Anti‐inflammatory drugs have been used as a treatment, however, the cellular and molecular mechanisms of the destructive processes in tendon are not clearly understood. It is thought that an inflammatory event may be involved as an initiating factor. Mediators of the inflammatory response include cytokines released from macrophages and monocytes. Interleukin‐1 beta (IL‐1β) is a candidate proinflammatory cytokine that is active in connective tissues such as bone and cartilage. We hypothesized that tendon cells would express receptors and respond to IL‐1β in an initial „molecular inflammation”︁ cascade, that is, connective tissue cell expression of cytokines that induce matrix destructive enzymes. This cascade results in expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and aggrecanases that may lead to …
