Asymptomatic Hyperuricemia Is Associated with Achilles Tendon Rupture through Disrupting the Normal Functions of Tendon Stem/Progenitor Cells by Jingjing Liang, Biao Chen, Yanmei Li, Daibang Nie, Changbin Lei, Qing Yang, Yiqin Zhou, Shenglong Li, Shuaizhi Chen, Bin Li, Lin Shu, Liaobin Chen, Wang Wang

“…In vitro study demonstrated that uric acid (UA) dose dependently reduced rat Achilles TSPC viability, decreased the expressions of tendon collagens, and deformed their structural organization while significantly increased the transcript levels of matrix degradative enzymes and proinflammatory factors. Consistently, marked disruptions in Achilles tendon tissue structural and functional integrity were found in a rat model of hyperuricemia, together with enhanced immune cell infiltration. …”
