Low passage hESCs (H9, WiCell) were used. Similar results were obtained using HUES13 (Harvard) and hIPSCs derived in our laboratory. Undifferentiated hESCs were cultured as described [33] with slight modification. Briefly, cells were cultured in Knockout Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (KODMEM, Invitrogen, 10829-018) supplemented with 1 mM L-glutamine with 20% Knockout Serum Replacement medium (KOSR, Invitrogen), 1 mM sodium pyruvate, 0.1 mM nonessential amino acids (NEAA, Invitrogen), 50 U/ml penicillin, 50 µg/ml streptomycin (Invitrogen), 0.1 mM beta-mercaptoethanol (Invitrogen) and 8 ng/ml basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF, Sigma catalogue F0291-25UG). hESCs were grown on Matrigel (growth factor-reduced, BD Bioscience)-coated 6-well plates (Corning, Inc. catalogue 3506) on a feeder layer of primary MEFs from E13.5 CD-1 mice isolated as described [33] . Passage 3 to 4 MEFs were gamma-irradiated with 3,000 rads (30 Grays) and plated at 104 cells per cm2. All hESC lines were passaged following enzymatic digestion with either collagenase IV (Invitrogen, 17104-019) approximately every 7 days or Accutase (Chemicon) approximately every 10 days [34] (link), depending on cell condition and confluency. For collagenase treatment, cells were exposed to 1 mg/ml in KODMEM, sterile filtered, at room temperature. Once the edge of colonies were about to lift from the plate, the cells were rinsed twice with DPBS (Ca2+- and Mg2+-free), culture medium was added and cells were mechanically dispersed into 100–500-cell clusters by trituration using a 5 ml pipette and re-plated. For Accutase treatment, cells were washed twice with DPBS and then subsequently washed with a small amount of Accutase (1× concentration, Innovative Cell Technologies) and then exposed to Accutase at room temperature. After a few minutes, when MEFs and hESC-derived fibroblasts began to lift from the plate, accutase was removed and hESCs were washed twice with DPBS (Ca2+- and Mg2+-free) to remove MEFs and hESC-derived fibroblasts. A third of the volume of culture medium normally used was added and the stem cells were mechanically dispersed into 10–50-cell clusters by trituration as above. Each passage was a 1∶3 split ratio for collagenase IV-treated cells and 1∶4 to 1∶6 ratio for accutase-treated cells. Cells were routinely tested for mycoplasma (MycoAlert; Cambrex, Walkersville, MD).

Forty 12-weeks-old male Sprague Dawley rats (Rattus norvegicus) (Envigo, Huntingdon, UK) (mean body weight 347 ± 9 g) were used in this study. In the absence of suitable data to perform the power analysis, the sample size was calculated according to the Mead’s resource equation (E = N-T, 10<E<20). Thus, considering two treated limbs per animal for a total of 16 treated tendons per time-point, the sample size was calculated as follows: E = (16–1)-(4–1) = 12. The rats were randomly divided into two treated groups that were injected within the Achilles tendon with collagenase type I (collagenase from Clostridium histolyticum, Worthington Lakewood, NJ, USA, 185 IU/mg): 1) collagenase 1 mg/mL defined as low dose (LD); 2) collagenase 3 mg/mL defined as high dose (HD). In each group, the contralateral tendon was treated either with phosphate buffered saline (PBS) and served as control (CTRL), or left untreated and served the sham control (S-CTRL). For each time point, 4 tendons were injected with LD, 4 tendons with HD, 4 tendons received PBS and 4 tendons were left untreated (n = 4). Tendon explants were analyzed at 3, 7, 15, 30 and 45 days.

Islets were isolated from 8- to 36-week-old male and female mice. Isolation of pancreatic islets was performed as previously described (62 (link)). In brief, pancreas was perfused by injection of 3 mM Collagenase-P (Roche) (0.3 mg/mL) in HBSS containing 25 mM HEPES and 0.5% (w/v) BSA into the common bile duct. Isolated islets were recovered for 48 hours in RPMI 1640 (Thermo Fisher Scientific) in humidified 5% CO2, at 37°C. After this period, islets were used for functional assessments. Before determination of insulin secretion, islets were equilibrated for 1 hour in KRB buffer (115 mM NaCl, 4.5 mM KCl, 1.2 mM KH2PO4, 2.6 mM CaCl2, 1 mM MgCl2, 10 mM HEPES, 20 mM NaHCO3, 0.2% w/v BSA, pH 7.4) with 2.8 mM glucose. Determination of insulin secretion from the islets was performed in 12-well plates containing 60 μL KRB (8 islets/well, 5 independent experiments performed in triplicate). After 1 hour preincubation in KRB with 2.8 mM glucose, islets were incubated for 1 hour in 20 mM glucose, 25 mM KCl, or 300 μM tolbutamide. Released insulin was measured in the supernatant using an insulin ELISA kit. Insulin content was determined from groups of 10 islets lysed in the protein extraction reagent M-PER (Thermo Fisher Scientific), using insulin ELISA kit.

Rats were euthanized via excess carbon dioxide inhalation, and the coccygeal discs were collected 6 weeks after implantation, and an immunohistochemical analysis was performed for aggrecan and type II collagen. We performed immunofluorescence analysis for a calcitonin gene receptor protein (CGRP), Tie2, brachyury, matrix metalloproteinase-13 (MMP-13), human nuclei antibody, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), and interleukin-1-beta (IL-1β). The harvested tissues were fixed overnight in a 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA) solution and decalcified by using a decalcification solution (RapidCal Immuno; BBC Biochemical, Mount Vernon, WA, USA) for 2 weeks. Then, discs were embedded within paraffin wax and sectioned longitudinally using a microtome (Leica) into sections of 5–10 µm thickness. For the immuno-staining, the first sections were dewaxed, rehydrated, and after that stained with primary antibodies against aggrecan (ab36861; Abcam, Cambridge, UK, 1:1000), type II collagen (ab34712; Abcam, Cambridge, UK, 1:100), CGRP (ab47027; Abcam, Cambridge, UK, 1:200), Tie2 (NBP2-20636; Novus Biologicals, Littleton, CO, USA, 1:200), brachyury (sc-166962; Santa Cruz, Dallas, TX, USA, 1:200), human nuclei antibody (MAB1281; Sigma Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA, 1:200), TNF-α (ab6671; Abcam, Cambridge, UK, 1:200), MMP-13 (ab39012; Abcam, Cambridge, UK, 1:200), and IL-1β (AF-501-NA; Novus Biologicals, Littleton, CO, USA, 1:200). Then, after 24 h of incubation, sections were washed with phosphate-buffered saline with Tween 20 and again incubated with the secondary antibody anti-Rb horseradish peroxidase (Roche Diagnostics Ltd., Basel, Switzerland), and Alexa Fluor 488 (A11034; Invitrogen, Waltham, MA, USA, 1:400), Alexa Fluor 488 (A11029; Invitrogen, Waltham, MA, USA, 1:400), Alexa Fluor 568 (A10042; Invitrogen, Waltham, MA, USA, 1:400), and Alexa Fluor 647 (A21469; Invitrogen, Waltham, MA, USA, 1:400)-conjugated secondary antibodies. After that, specimens were carried out for the washing step, then the specimens were counterstained with 4′, 6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) (Abcam, Cambridge, UK, 1:1000) and incubated for 10 min. The sections were mounted and finally examined using a fluorescence microscope (Zeiss 880, Oberkochen, Germany, and Leica SP5, Wetzlar, Germany). The percentages of the positive area for aggrecan and type II collagen and positive cell number relative to DAPI for CGRP, Tie 2, brachyury, MMP-13, human nuclei antibody, TNF-α, and IL-1β were calculated using ImageJ software (Version 1.50b, https://imagej.nih.gov/ij/ (accessed on 10 November 2022)).
