In order to clarify the role of cytokines in the remodelling of the grafted tendon for ligament reconstruction we compared the responses to interleukin (IL)-1beta, platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-BB and transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta1 of extrinsic fibroblasts infiltrating the frozen-thawed patellar tendon in rats with that of the normal tendon fibroblasts, in regard to the gene expression of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-13, using Northern blot analysis. We also examined, immunohistologically, the local expression of IL-1beta, PDGF-BB, and TGF-beta1 in fibroblasts infiltrating the frozen-thawed patellar tendon. Northern blot analysis showed that fibroblasts derived from the patellar tendon six weeks after the freeze-thaw procedure in situ showed less response to IL-1beta than normal tendon fibroblasts with respect to MMP-13 mRNA gene expression. The immunohistological findings revealed that IL-1beta was over-expressed in extrinsic fibroblasts which infiltrated the patellar tendon two and six weeks after the freeze-thaw procedure in situ, but neither PDGF-BB nor TGF-beta1 was over-expressed in these extrinsic fibroblasts. Our findings indicated that IL-1beta had a close relationship to matrix remodelling of the grafted tendon for ligament reconstruction, in addition to the commencement of inflammation during the tissue-healing process.
