Biologic Response of Degenerative Living Human Nucleus Pulposus Cells to Treatment with Cytokines
PURPOSE To investigate the molecular responses of various genes and proteins related to disc degeneration upon treatment with cytokines that affect disc-cell proliferation and phenotype in living human intervertebral discs (IVDs). Responsiveness to these cytokines according to the degree of disc degeneration was also evaluated. MATERIALS AND METHODS The disc specimens were classified into two...
متن کاملMolecular response of human cervical and lumbar nucleus pulposus cells from degenerated discs following cytokine treatment.
We investigated the molecular response of degenerated human cervical and lumbar nucleus pulposus (NP) cells following cytokine treatment. Degenerated cervical and lumbar discs (8 each) were obtained from patients who underwent discectomy for degenerative disc disease; NP cells were isolated and cultured. The mRNA expressions of aggrecan, alkaline phosphatase, type I collagen, type II collagen, ...
متن کاملMicroRNA-494 promotes apoptosis and extracellular matrix degradation in degenerative human nucleus pulposus cells
PURPOSE This study investigated the expression and function of the microRNA-494 in intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD). RESULTS MicroRNA-494 expression was upregulated during IDD progression; its overexpression increased the expression of ECM catabolic factors such as matrix metalloproteinase and A disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motif in NP cells while decreasing tha...
متن کاملSIRT1 protects against apoptosis by promoting autophagy in degenerative human disc nucleus pulposus cells
SIRT1 could protect degenerative human NP cells against apoptosis, and there were extensive and intimate connection between apoptosis and autophagy. Up to now, the role of autophagy in the process of human IVD degeneration is unclear. We sought to explore the relationship between autophagy and human IVD degeneration and to understand whether autophagy is involved in the protective effect of SIR...
متن کاملEnhancing human nucleus pulposus cells for biological treatment approaches of degenerative intervertebral disc diseases: a systematic review.
Intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration has been described as an aberrant, cell-mediated, age- and genetics-dependent molecular degeneration process, which can be accelerated by nutritional, mechanical and toxic factors. Collective involvement of these factors can result in structural failures, which are often associated with pain. Current treatment approaches are restricted to symptomatic thera...
