Rotator cuff tendon cells (RCC) derived from surgical samples showed fibroblast-like morphology. Histological staining demonstrated collagen secretion by RCC. Immunohistological findings revealed that RCC secreted type I and III collagen, but not type II collagen. In addition, the SDS-PAGE analysis suggested that RCC predominantly produced type I collagen. Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) had a stimulatory effect on the proliferation of RCC dose-dependently up to 1 ng/ml. Administration of bFGF suppressed the secretion of collagens from RCC in a dose-dependent manner. |
