HIF1α gates tendon response to overload and drives tendinopathy independently of vascular recruitment

Greta Moschini, Archana G. Mohanan, Izabella S. Niewczas, Diane E. Taylor, Patrick Klaus Jaeger, Guillermo Turiel, Amro A. Hussien, Stefania L. Wunderli, Olivia Baumberger, Maja Wolleb, Florence Marti, Barbara P. Niederöst, Maja Bollhalder, Raphaela Ardicoglu, Nathalie Tisch, , Jess Gerrit Snedeker

Mechanical overload activates hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha (HIF1a) in tenocytes to drive tendinopathy independently of VEGFA-mediated vascular ingrowth, and tenocyte Hif1a deletion prevents overload-induced tendon degeneration in mice.

Matrix maturation and cytoskeletal tension define strain thresholds for stretch-induced calcium signaling in human tendon cells

Patrick Klaus Jaeger, Fabian S. Passini, Barbara P. Niederöst, Maja Bollhalder, Sandro F. Fucentese, Jess Gerrit Snedeker

This study shows that ECM maturation and cytoskeletal tension determine the strain threshold for stretch-induced calcium signaling in human tendon cells.
