摘要

Collagen molecules are the base structural unit of tendons, which become denatured during mechanical overload. We recently demonstrated that during tendon stretch, collagen denaturation occurs at the yield point of the stress-strain curve in both positional and energy-storing tendons. We were interested in investigating how this load is transferred throughout the collagen hierarchy, and sought to determine the onset of collagen denaturation when collagen fibrils are stretched. Fibrils are one level above the collagen molecule in the collagen hierarchy, allowing more direct probing of the effect of strain on collagen molecules. We isolated collagen fibrils from both positional and energy-storing tendon types and stretched them using a microelectromechanical system device to various levels of strain. We stained the fibrils with fluorescently labeled collagen hybridizing peptides that specifically bind to denatured collagen, and examined whether samples stretched beyond the yield point of the stress-strain curve exhibited increased amounts of denatured collagen. We found that collagen denaturation in collagen fibrils from both tendon types occurs at the yield point. Greater amounts of denatured collagen were found in post-yield positional fibrils than in energy-storing fibrils. This is despite a greater yield strain and yield stress in fibrils from energy-storing tendons compared to positional tendons. Interestingly, the peak modulus of collagen fibrils from both tendon types was the same. These results are likely explained by the greater crosslink density found in energy-storing tendons compared to positional tendons. The insights gained from this study could help management of tendon and other musculoskeletal injuries by targeting collagen molecular damage at the fibril level. When tendons are stretched or torn, this can lead to collagen denaturation (damage). Depending on their biomechanical function, tendons are considered positional or energy-storing with different crosslink profiles. By stretching collagen fibrils instead of fascicles from both tendon types, we can more directly examine the effect of tensile stretch on the collagen molecule in tendons. We found that regardless of tendon type, collagen denaturation in fibrils occurs when they are stretched beyond the yield point of the stress-strain curve. This provides insight into how load affects different tendon sub-structures during tendon injuries and failure, which will help clinicians and researchers understand mechanisms of injuries and potentially target collagen molecular damage as a treatment strategy, leading to improved clinical outcomes following injury.
