Neovascularization, a common occurrence in chronic inflammatory lesions, requires endothelial cell (EC) proliferation. Because this form of inflammation is often mediated by immunologically generated cytokines, the effects of such cytokines on human umbilical vein EC proliferation in vitro were inve

Abstract
Tendon injury induces a local inflammatory response, characterized by the induction of pro‐inflammatory cytokines. The aim of the present study was to analyze the effects of TNFα, IL‐6 and IL‐10 on key parameters of tendon homeostasis. Cultured primary human tenocytes were treated with the recombinant cytokines IL‐6, IL‐10, TNFα, or combinations of TNFα with IL‐6 and IL‐10 (10 ng/mL, 6, 24 h). Expression of type I collagen, elastin, MMP‐1, TNFα, IL‐1β, IL‐6, IL‐10, and suppressors of cytokine signaling (SOCS1, 3) was analyzed with the use of RTD‐PCR, immunocytochemistry, and Western blot analysis. In response to TNFα, tenocytes reduced their type I collagen deposition but increased their elastin gene expression and highly upregulated their expression for MMP‐1, pro‐inflammatory (TNFα, IL‐1β) and immunoregulatory (IL‐6, IL‐10) cytokines. TNFα stimulation augmented SOCS1, whereas SOCS3 expression in tenocytes was also induced by IL‐6. The treatment of tenocytes with IL‐6 and IL‐10 had no effect on cytokine expression. Neither IL‐6 nor IL‐10 modulated the observed effects of TNFα significantly. These results indicate that TNFα strongly activates the tenocytes to amplify their own TNFα expression and, subsequently, that of other regulatory cytokines and matrix degrading enzymes. However, the impact of IL‐6 and IL‐10 on tenocytes remains unclear. © 2010 Orthopaedic Research Society. Published by Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Orthop Res 28:1071–1077, 2010
