Background:

Suboptimal tendon healing is linked to small collagen fibrils.
Collagen V is crucial for fibrillogenesis and elevated during tendon healing.

Purpose of the Study:

Investigate Collagen V's effect on tenocyte fibrillogenesis.
Evaluate siRNA-engineered tenocytes for tendon tissue engineering.

Main Methods:

Utilized RNA interference gene therapy (siRNA).
Employed a scaffold-free tissue-engineered tendon model.
Analyzed collagen fibril morphology and gene expression.

Main Results:

Scaffold-free models exhibited tissue-specific structures.

Downregulating Collagen V alpha1 or alpha2 chains had distinct effects on collagen I and decorin.

Col5α1 siRNA treatment resulted in smaller, abnormal fibrils; Col5α2 siRNA did not alter morphology.

Co-culturing Col5α1 siRNA tenocytes with normal tenocytes improved fibril size and contour.

Conclusions:

Engineered tenocytes using Collagen V siRNA enhance tendon regeneration.
An optimal Collagen V level is essential for regulating collagen fibrillogenesis.
Findings support novel therapeutics for tendon diseases.
