Results Gene expression of NTN4, inflammatory cytokines, MMPs, and CXCL1 following rotator cuff injury Compared with intact tendons (day 0), Ntn4 expression showed no significant change at day 7 (P = 0.257) but rose markedly thereafter, with highly significant increases at days 14 and 28 (both P < 0.001) and remained elevated at day 56 (P = 0.007) (Figure 1A ).
