Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Stenosing tenosynovitis is often diagnosed in postmenopausal women or perinatal women. However, little is known about the pathogenic mechanism of tenosynovitis. We attempted to clarify the relationship between estrogen and pathogenesis of tenosynovitis using ovariectomized (OVT) mice. Real-time PCR analysis of OVT mice demonstrated an increased expression of estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) in the intrasynovial tendon. RNA-sequence analysis detected 30 genes that showed more than twice the expression of ERαcompared to the OVT group, and included SAA1 and SAA3 genes as acute inflammatory markers. Our results suggest that estrogen plays an important role in maintaining the homeostasis of intrasynovial tendons, and a failure of the homeostasis caused by the lack of estrogen may lead to the development of tenosynovitis.
