Summary Statement

MCP-1/ CCR2 axis at the early phase plays a pivotal role in the fracture healing. Inflammation plays a pivotal role in fracture healing. Among them, chemokines play key roles in inflammation. Monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1), via its receptor C-C chemokine receptor 2 (CCR2), acts as a potent chemoattractant for various cells to promote migration from circulation to inflammation site. Thus, the importance of MCP-1/CCR2 axis in fracture healing has been suggested. However, the involvement of MCP-1/CCR2 axis tofracture site is not fully elucidated.

Results

PCR Array: The expression of MCP-1 and MCP-3 had increased on day 2 than 0 or 7 in the rib fracture healing. Immunohistochemistry Staining: To verify the localization of MCP-1 expression, we examined the Wild type (WT)-mouse rib fracture healing. We observed high expression of MCP-1 and MCP-3 at the periosteum and the endosteum on post-fracture day 3. In vivo Antagonist Study: To elucidate whether MCP-1/CCR2 axis is involved during the early phase of fracture healing, we continuously administered RS102895, CCR2 antagonist, before or after rib fracture. Micro-CT analysis showed delayed fracture healing in the before-group compared with both the control and after-group. On day 21, the hard callus volume in the before-group was significantly smaller than that in the control-group. Histological analysis showed that fractures in both the control and the after-groups were healed by day 21. In contrast, less of cartilage in the callus was observed in the before-group on day 7. Gain of Function: To examine the roles of MCP-1 at the periosteum and the endosteum during the fracture healing, we created a segmental bone graft exchanging model. The bone grafts were transplanted from MCP-1−/− mice to another MCP-1−/− mice (KO-to-KO). Micro-CT analysis showed that KO-to-KO transplantation led to the delay of fracture healing on day 21. Next, we created exchanging-bone graft models between MCP-1−/− and WT mice, in which a segmental bone derived from a WT mouse was transplanted into a host MCP-1−/− mouse (WT-to-KO). In contrast to KO-to-KO bone graft transplantation, the transplantation of WT-derived graft into host KO mouse resulted in a significant increase of new bone formation on day 21. Histological analysis revealed that marked and localised induction of MCP-1 expression in the periosteum and the endosteum around the WT-derived graft was observed in the host MCP-1−/− mouse. Loss of Function: To validate whether MCP-1 is a crucial chemokine for fracture healing, we created WT-to-WT and KO-to-WT bone graft models. When WT-donor graft was transplanted into WT-host, abundant new bone formation was observed around a WT-derived graft on day 21. In contrast, transplantation of KO-derived graft into WT-host resulted in a marked reduction of periosteal bone formation on a donor graft.

Summary Statement

We measured scapulothoracic motions during humeral abduction with different humeral rotations in healthy subjects and whole cadaver models and clarified that humeral rotation significantly influenced scapular kinematics.

Introduction

Scapular dyskinesis has been observed in various shoulder disorders such as impingement syndrome or rotator cuff tears. However, the relationship between scapular kinematics and humeral positions remains unclear. We hypothesised that humeral rotation would influence scapular motions during humeral abduction and measured scapular motion relative to the thorax in the healthy subjects and whole cadavers.
