This study investigated the relationship of oxidative stress and superoxide dismutase with rotator cuff degeneration using rat models. Results showed an increase in degeneration scores and oxidative stress in both injury and tear models. Superoxide dismutase may be associated with degenerative rotator cuff without tear but not after tear.
Rotator cuff degeneration is one of the several factors that lead to rotator cuff tears. Oxidative stress and superoxide dismutase have been reported to be related to rotator cuff degeneration; however, the precise mechanism still remains unclear. In this study, we investigated the relationship of oxidative stress and superoxide dismutase to the degeneration of the rotator cuff using rat models. Eighty-four rats were used to create a collagenase-induced rotator cuff injury model (injury model) and a rotator cuff tear model (tear model). The controls were administered saline and had only a deltoid incision, respectively. We evaluated degeneration morphology of the rotator cuff using a degeneration score; dihydroethidium fluorescence intensity, which detects oxidative stress; gene expression; and superoxide dismutase activity. The rotator cuffs in the injury and tear models significantly increased degeneration scores and dihydroethidium fluorescence intensity. On the other hand, gene expression of superoxide dismutase isoform, superoxide dismutase 1, and superoxide dismutase activity were significantly decreased in the injury model but showed no significant difference in the tear model. These findings suggested that superoxide dismutase might not be associated with rotator cuff degeneration after tear but may be involved in degenerative rotator cuff without tear. However, we found that rotator cuff degeneration involves oxidative stress both with and without tear. Based on these findings, it is presumed that different treatments may be appropriate, depending on the state of rotator cuff degeneration, because the mechanisms of the degeneration may be different.
