Abstract:

Extracellular matrix loss is one of the early manifestations of intervertebral disc degeneration. Stem cell-based tissue engineering creates an appropriate microenvironment for long term cell survival, promising for NP regeneration. We created a decellularized nucleus pulposus hydrogel (DNPH) from fresh bovine nucleus pulposus. Decellularization removed NP cells effectively, while highly preserving their structures and major biochemical components, such as glycosaminoglycan and collagen II. DNPH could be gelled as a uniform grid structure in situ at 37°C for 30 min. Adding adipose marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells into the hydrogel for three-dimensional culture resulted in good bioactivity and biocompatibility in vitro. Meanwhile, NP-related gene expression significantly increased without the addition of exogenous biological factors. In summary, the thermosensitive and injectable hydrogel, which has low toxicity and inducible differentiation, could serve as a bio-scaffold, bio-carrier, and three-dimensional culture system. Therefore, DNPH has an outstanding potential for intervertebral disc regeneration.

Abstract:

Matrix production by nucleus pulposus (NP) cells, the cells residing in the center of the intervertebral disc, can be stimulated by growth factors. Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) hold great promise. Although BMP2 and BMP7 have been used most frequently, other BMPs have also shown potential for NP regeneration. Heterodimers may be more potent than single homodimers, but it is not known whether combinations of homodimers would perform equally well. In this study, we compared BMP2, BMP4, BMP6, and BMP7, their combinations and heterodimers, for regeneration by human NP cells. The BMPs investigated induced variable matrix deposition by NP cells. BMP4 was the most potent, both in the final neotissue glysosaminoglycan content and incorporation efficiency. Heterodimers BMP2/6H and BMP2/7H were more potent than their respective homodimer combinations, but not the BMP4/7H heterodimer. The current results indicate that BMP4 might have a high potential for regeneration of the intervertebral disc. Moreover, the added value of BMP heterodimers over their respective homodimer BMP combinations depends on the BMP combination applied.

Abstract:

Degenerative disc diseases occupy the second place in the overall structure of morbidity with temporary disability. In 40% of patients with spinal osteochondrosis, diseases of the locomotor apparatus and connective tissue cause primary disability. Disc degeneration is a pathological process that is the main cause of low back pain and is observed in the vast majority of people at some point in their lives. The influence of mechanical stress leads to degenerative changes in the tissues of the nucleus pulposus of the intervertebral disc. Limited transport and low cellular saturation of the discs hinder recovery, make the intervertebral disc particularly vulnerable to injury, and contribute to the appearance of morphological tissue damage associated with the processes of biological aging. The pathological process involves all structural elements of the intervertebral disc. The earliest manifestations of disc degeneration usually occur in the nucleus pulposus, where a reduced content of proteoglycans disrupts mechanical function, which leads to progressive morphological degeneration of the entire intervertebral segment. Existing treatment methods (both surgical and conservative) are not able to adjust the number of cells in the nucleus pulposus and are unable to stop the pathological process in the intervertebral disc. Prevention of degeneration or repair of the intervertebral disc is a potential treatment for lumbar pain syndromes. Cell therapy has become a subject of great interest, as new research reports significant regenerative potential for many cellular sources, including the regeneration of the nucleus pulposus region of the intervertebral disc. The use and implementation of modern cell therapy in practical neurosurgery allows us to approach the problem of intervertebral disc degeneration at a new qualitative level with the use of multipotent cells, biochemical peptides in the reparative processes of the nucleus pulposus, as a possibility of treatment and prevention of vertebrogenic pain syndromes in the future.

Abstract:

Stem cell–based regenerative strategies are promising for intervertebral disc degeneration. Stimulation of bone-marrow- and adipose-derived multipotent stem cells with recombinant human growth differentiation factor 6 (rhGDF6) promotes anabolic nucleus pulposus like phenotypes. In comparison to mesenchymal stem cells, adipose-derived multipotent stem cells exhibit greater NP-marker gene expression and proteoglycan-rich matrix production. To understand these response differences, we investigated bone morphogenetic protein receptor profiles in donor-matched human mesenchymal stem cells and adipose-derived multipotent stem cells, determined differences in rhGDF6 signalling and their importance in NP-like differentiation between cell populations. Bone morphogenetic protein receptor expression in mesenchymal stem cells and adipose-derived multipotent stem cells revealed elevated and less variable expression of BMPR2 in adipose-derived multipotent stem cells, which corresponded with increased downstream pathway activation (SMAD1/5/8, ERK1/2). Inhibitor studies demonstrated SMAD1/5/8 signalling was required for rhGDF6-induced nucleus-pulposus-like adipose-derived multipotent stem cell differentiation, while ERK1/2 contributed significantly to critical nucleus pulposus gene expression, aggrecan and type II collagen production. These data inform cell regenerative therapeutic choices for intervertebral disc degeneration regeneration and identify further potential optimisation targets.

Abstract:

The intervertebral disc is usually divided into two parts, the anulus fibrosus and the nucleus pulposus. However, they are not considered two separate anatomic parts since one is essentially part of the other and this should be borne in mind to understand the process of ageing. The intervertebral disc should therefore be thought of as a dynamically evolving anatomo-functional unit. The dynamics of this process were investigated by studying the histobiochemistry of the acellular matrix of the joint cartilage in general and that of the intervertebral disc in particular to understand the effects of this arrangement on the stuctural changes to the disc induced by biomechanical stress, especially during ageing. Lastly, we focussed on the disc's nutritional mechanisms in order to examine “disc degeneration” as a sign of metabolic impairment of the nucleus pulposus and “disc regeneration”. This concept was unknown until recently and is currently monitored in percutaneous controls following treatment for disc disease.

Abstract:

In the current study, Galanthus extract was loaded into electrospun gelatin scaffolds using an electrospun method and then crushed. The resulting nanofibers were loaded into a collagen hydrogel to develop a filler material to treat nucleus pulposus injuries in the intervertebral disks. The nanocomposite hydrogel was studied regarding its biocompatibility, antiinflammatory activity, and swelling behavior. In Vivo study was performed in a rat model of intervertebral disk injury. Histopathological studies showed that the animals treated with the nanocomposite hydrogel restored its nucleus pulposus to a significantly higher extent than other experimental groups.

Abstract:

Low back pain (LBP) is one of the world’s most common musculoskeletal diseases and is frequently associated with intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD). While the main cause of IDD is commonly attributed to a reduced number of nucleus pulposus (NP) cells, current treatment strategies (both surgical and more conservative) fail to replenish NP cells or reverse the pathology. Cell replacement therapies are an attractive alternative for treating IDD. However, injecting intervertebral disc (IVD) cells, chondrocytes, or mesenchymal stem cells into various animal models of IDD indicate that transplanted cells generally fail to survive and engraft into the avascular IVD niche. Whereas pluripotent stem cells (PSCs), including induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and embryonic stem cells (ESCs), hold great potential for revolutionizing regenerative medicine, current protocols for differentiating these cells into NP-like cells are inadequate. Nucleus pulposus progenitor cells (NPPCs), which are derived from the embryonic notochord, can not only survive within the harsh hypoxic environment of the IVD, but they also efficiently differentiate into NP-like cells. Here we provide an overview of the latest progress in repairing degenerated IVDs using PSCs and NPPCs. We also discuss the molecular pathways by which PSCs differentiate into NPPCs in vitro and in vivo and propose a new, in vivo IDD therapy.

Abstract:

Object The object of this study was to characterize the regenerative potential of cells isolated from herniated disc tissue obtained during microdiscectomy. The acquired data could help to evaluate the feasibility of these cells for autologous disc cell transplantation. Methods From each of 5 patients (mean age 45 years), tissue from the nucleus pulposus compartment as well as from herniated disc was obtained separately during microdiscectomy of symptomatic herniated lumbar discs. Cells were isolated, and in vitro cell expansion for cells from herniated disc tissue was accomplished using human serum and fibroblast growth factor-2. For 3D culture, expanded cells were loaded in a fibrin-hyaluronan solution on polyglycolic acid scaffolds for 2 weeks. The formation of disc tissue was documented by histological staining of the extracellular matrix as well as by gene expression analysis of typical disc marker genes. Results Cells isolated from herniated disc tissue showed significant signs of dedifferentiation and degeneration in comparison with cells from tissue of the nucleus compartment. With in vitro cell expansion, further dedifferentiation with distinct suppression of major matrix molecules, such as aggrecan and Type II collagen, was observed. Unlike in previous reports of cells from the nucleus compartment, the cells from herniated disc tissue showed only a weak redifferentiation process in 3D culture. However, propidium iodide/fluorescein diacetate staining documented that 3D assembly of these cells in polyglycolic acid scaffolds allows prolonged culture and high viability. Conclusions Study results suggested a very limited regenerative potential for cells harvested from herniated disc tissue. Further research on 2 major aspects in patient selection is suggested before conducting reasonable clinical trials in this matter: 1) diagnostic strategies to predict the regenerative potential of harvested cells at a radiological or cell biology level, and 2) clinical assessment strategies to elucidate the metabolic state of the targeted disc.

Abstract:

The expansion and maintenance of the NPMSC (nucleus pulposus mesenchymal stem cell) phenotype are considered as potential therapeutic tools for clinical applications in intervertebral disc tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. However, the harsh microenvironment within the intervertebral disc is the main limitation of its regeneration. The osmolarity of the intervertebral disc is higher than that of other tissues, which has an important influence on the biological characteristics of NPMSCs. In this study, we observed the effect of different osmolarities on the biological characteristics of human normal NPMSCs cultured in vitro and explored the role of osmolarity in intervertebral disc degeneration. Our data demonstrated that the change in osmotic pressure has an important effect on the biological activity of NPMSCs, and this effect may occur through the P16INK4A/Rb pathway. This study provides a theoretical basis for the future treatment of intervertebral disc degeneration.

Abstract:

Stem cell-based therapy has been indicated to be beneficial for intervertebral disc regeneration. However, the underlying mechanisms have not been fully identified. The present study showed that bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) donated mitochondria to adjacent nucleus pulposus cells (NPCs) in a coculture system. The mode of mitochondrial transfer between these cells was intercellular tunneling nanotube (TNT), which acted as a transportation expressway for mitochondria. NPCs acquired additional mitochondria from BMSCs in a concentration-dependent manner after rotenone-induced mitochondrial dysfunction in NPCs. Further research demonstrated that TNT-mediated mitochondrial transfer rescued NPCs from mitochondrial dysfunction and apoptosis, which was indicated by the recovery of the mitochondrial respiratory chain, the increase in mitochondrial membrane potential, and the decreases in reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and apoptosis rates. Furthermore, Miro1, a critical protein that regulates mitochondrial movement, was knocked down in BMSCs and significantly reduced mitochondrial transfer from BMSCs to NPCs. These results suggested that Miro1 depletion inhibited the rescue of NPCs with mitochondrial dysfunction. Taken together, our data shed light on a novel mechanism by which BMSCs rescue impaired NPCs, providing a concrete foundation to study the critical role of intercellular interactions in disc regeneration.

Abstract:

Intervertebral disc degeneration can lead to physical disability and significant pain, while the present therapeutics still fail to biochemically and biomechanically restore the tissue. Stem cell-based therapy in treating intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration is promising while transplanting cells alone might not be adequate for effective regeneration. Recently, gene modification and 3D-printing strategies represent promising strategies to enhanced therapeutic efficacy of MSC therapy. In this regard, we hypothesized that the combination of thermosensitive chitosan hydrogel and adipose derived stem cells (ADSCs) engineered with modRNA encoding Interleukin − 4 (IL-4) can inhibit inflammation and promote the regeneration of the degenerative IVD.Rat ADSCs were acquired from adipose tissue and transfected with modRNAs. First, the kinetics and efficacy of modRNA-mediated gene transfer in mouse ADSCs were analyzed in vitro. Next, we applied an indirect co-culture system to analyze the pro-anabolic potential of IL-4 modRNA engineered ADSCs (named as IL-4-ADSCs) on nucleus pulposus cells.ModRNA transfected mouse ADSCs with high efficiency and the IL-4 modRNA-transfected ADSCs facilitated burst-like production of bio-functional IL-4 protein. In vitro, IL-4-ADSCs induced increased anabolic markers expression of nucleus pulposus cells in inflammation environment compared to untreated ADSCs.These findings collectively supported the therapeutic potential of the combination of thermosensitive chitosan hydrogel and IL-4-ADSCs for intervertebral disc degeneration management. Histological and in vivo validation are now being conducted.

Abstract:

Degenerative disc disease, a painful pathology of the intervertebral disc (IVD), often causes disability and reduces quality of life. Although regenerative cell-based strategies have shown promise in clinical trials, none have been widely adopted clinically. Recent developments demonstrated that spheroid-based approaches might help overcome challenges associated with cell-based IVD therapies. Spheroids are three-dimensional multicellular aggregates with architecture that enables the cells to differentiate and synthesize endogenous ECM, promotes cell-ECM interactions, enhances adhesion, and protects cells from harsh conditions. Spheroids could be applied in the IVD both in scaffold-free and scaffold-based configurations, possibly providing advantages over cell suspensions. This review highlights areas of future research in spheroid-based regeneration of nucleus pulposus (NP) and annulus fibrosus (AF). We also discuss cell sources and methods for spheroid fabrication and characterization, mechanisms related to spheroid fusion, as well as enhancement of spheroid performance in the context of the IVD microenvironment.

Abstract:

Modern therapeutic strategies for intervertebral disc repair mainly focus on targeting molecular pathways of extracel-lular matrix degeneration. Anabolic strategies for regeneration are aimed to increase production of major extracellular molecules. Members of TGF-b superfamily proteins, particularly the bone morphogenetic proteins (BMP) have a high regenerative potential regarding the mesenchymal cells. The goal of this study is to study production of proteoglycans by the intervertebral disc cells under the influence of bone morphogenetic protein 2.Material and methods. The experiment was carried out on the cell cultures derived from the annulus fibrosis cells and nucleus pulposus cells of the human intervertebral disc. We studied cell livability, metabolic activity and proteoglycan expression. Cell livability was assessed using the trypan blue staining. Alamar blue test was used for the estimation of metabolic activity. Amount of sulfated glycosaminoglycans was assessed using the assay based on the reaction with 1,9-Dimethylmethylene Blue.Results. Cultivation with bone morphogenetic protein 2 in different concentrations did not decrease livability of the cells. Study cell cultures with application of bone morphogenetic protein 2 in different concentrations showed significant increase in metabolic activity and proteoglycan synthesis by the annulus fibrosis cells. Despite the relative increase in the number of the nucleus pulposus cells treated with the bone morphogenetic protein 2, the differences in metabolic and synthetic activity compared with control group was not significant. Conclusion. The bone morphogenetic protein 2 has an anabolic effect towards the intervertebral disc cells, particularly in the production of proteoglycans by the annulus fibrosis cells.
