(A) ​T ​+ ​D contributes to fatty infiltration within the supraspinatus muscle demonstrated by immunofluorescence staining for perilipin and DAPI. Scale bar ​= ​50 ​μm (B) The proportional areas of fat were significantly higher in the T ​+ ​D group. n ​= ​3 mice/group (C) The transcripts expression of adipocyte markers. n ​= ​5 mice/group (D) Increase of PDGFRα+ MSCs in the T+D group shown by Western blotting, immunofluorescent images and semi-quantitative counting of PDGFRα+ cells per microscopic field (214 μ m ​× ​214 μ m). Scale bar ​= ​30 ​μm, n ​= ​3 mice/group (E) The effect of imatinib on the suppression of fatty infiltration illustrated by immunofluorescence staining for perilipin with DAPI (scale bar ​= ​100 ​μm) or laminin and PDGFRα with DAPI (scale bar ​= ​30 ​μm) (n ​= ​3 mice/group), as well as Western blotting (2 mice/group) (F) The transcripts expression of adipocyte markers after imatinib treatment. n ​= ​5 mice/group. Values are presented as means ​± ​SD. TT, tendon transection; DN, suprascapular nerve denervation; T ​+ ​D, tendon transection and denervation. ∗p ​< ​0.05; ∗∗p ​< ​0.01; ∗∗∗p ​< ​0.001; ∗∗∗∗p ​< ​0.0001.
