Resumo
The molecular alterations involved in the capsule deformation presented in shoulder instability patients are poorly understood. Increased TGF1 acts as a signal for production of matrix macromolecules by fibrogenic cells at joint injury sites. TGF1, through its receptor TGFR1, regulates genes involved in collagen cross-linking, such as LOX, PLOD1, and PLOD2. We evaluated TGF1, TGFR1, LOX, PLOD1, and PLOD2 gene expression in the antero-inferior (macroscopically injured region), antero-superior and posterior regions of the glenohumeral capsule of 29 shoulder instability patients and eight controls. We observed that PLOD2 expression was increased in the anterior-inferior capsule region of the patients compared to controls. LOX expression tended to be increased in the posterior portion of patients. Patients with recurrent shoulder dislocation presented upregulation of TGFR1 in the antero-inferior capsule portion and of PLOD2 in the posterior region. Conversely, LOX was increased in the posterior portion of the capsule of patients with a single shoulder dislocation episode. In the antero-inferior, LOX expression was inversely correlated and TGFR1 was directly correlated with the duration of symptoms. In the posterior region, PLOD2, TGF1, and TGFR1 were directly correlated with the duration of symptoms. In conclusion, PLOD2 expression was increased in the macroscopically injured region of the capsule of patients. Upregulation of TGF1, TGFR1, and PLOD2 seems to be related with the maintenance of disease symptoms, especially in the posterior region. LOX upregulation seems to occur only in the initial phase of the affection. Therefore, TGF1, TGFR1, LOX, and PLOD2 may play a role in shoulder instability. (c) 2015 Orthopaedic Research Society.
