Liraglutide helps rotator cuff healing by lowering tendon cell inflammation and stress through a specific cellular pathway

Updated

Abstract

Liraglutide (LIRA) significantly inhibits IL-1β-induced inflammation in tendon cells.

  • LIRA enhances tendon cell anabolism and upregulates the AMPK/SIRT1 pathway.
  • Activation of GLP-1 receptors is associated with prevention of tendon cell apoptosis and endoplasmic reticulum stress.
  • In a rat rotator cuff injury model, LIRA promotes tissue regeneration and restores biomechanical strength.
  • The findings suggest a potential therapeutic role for LIRA in rotator cuff repair.
