Abstrakt: | Background: Injuries to the glenoid labrum have been recognized as a source of joint pain and discomfort, which may be associated with the inflammatory responses that lead to the deterioration of labral tissue. However, it is unclear whether the torn labrum prompts mast cell (MC) activation, resulting in synovial inflammatory responses that lead to labral tissue degeneration. Purpose: To determine the potential influence of activated MC on synovial inflammatory responses and subsequent labral tissue degeneration and shoulder function deterioration in a rat model by monitoring MC behavior and sequential inflammatory responses within the synovial tissue and labral tissue after injury, suture repair, and MC stabilizer administration. Study Design: Controlled laboratory study. Methods: Anteroinferior glenoid labral tears were generated in the right shoulder of rats (n = 20) and repaired using a tunneled suture technique. Synovial tissue inflammatory responses were modulated in some rats with intraperitoneal administration of an MC stabilizer—cromolyn (n = 10). At weeks 1 and 3, MC activation, synovial inflammatory responses, and labral degeneration were histologically evaluated. Simultaneously, gait analysis was performed before and after surgical repair to assess the worsening of the shoulder function after the injury and treatment. Results: Resident MC degranulation after labral injury (50.48% ± 8.23% activated at week 1) contributed to the initiation of synovial tissue inflammatory cell recruitment, inflammatory product release, matrix metalloproteinase-13, and subsequent labral tissue extracellular matrix degeneration. The administration of cromolyn, an MC stabilizer, was found to significantly diminish injury-mediated inflammatory responses (inflammatory cell infiltration and subsequent proinflammatory product secretion) and improve shoulder functional recovery. Conclusion: MC activation is responsible for labral tear–associated synovial inflammation and labral degeneration. The administration of cromolyn can significantly diminish the cascade of inflammatory reactions after labral injury. Clinical Relevance: Our findings support the concept that MC stabilizers may be used as a complementary therapeutic option in the treatment and repair of labral tears. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
