AbstractGrowth factors potentially promote tendon healing. Understanding the right time to administer growth factors and the dosage of growth factors are prerequisites for designing effective cytokine therapy. We investigated the supplementation-time dependence of the effects of platelet-derived growth factor isoform B at various dosages on tendon healing, and the temporal responsiveness of healing tendon toward platelet-derived growth factor. Platelet-derived growth factor isoform B at various dosages (0, 10, 100, or 1000 ng) was delivered into the gap wound of rat patellar tendons via microsyringe injection on Day 3 or Day 7 after injury. Tendon specimens were harvested on Day 14 for measurement of cell proliferation, pyridinoline content, and mechanical properties. We found increased proliferative response only when the growth factor was supplemented on Day 3 after injury, whereas supplementation on Day 7 resulted in greater peak load, cross-sectional area, and pyridinoline content. The ultimate stress did not change. Our findings suggest supplementation of platelet-derived growth factor isoform B at Day 7 benefits the mechanical properties and maturation of healing tendons. We also found platelet-derived growth factor receptor β expressing cells at the remodeling site as much as 6 months after injury, suggesting healing tendon also may be responsive to long-term delivery of platelet-derived growth factor. © 2006 Lippincott Williams & Wilkins.
