Lovastatin Helps Re-differentiation of Human Nucleus Pulposus Cells during Monolayer Expansion
INTRODUCTION Regeneration of nucleus pulposus (NP) tissues in the early stages of degeneration can theoretically retard or even reverse the degenerative process and possibly restore a healthy intervertebral disc (IVD). The approval of autologous disc cell transplantation (ADCT) in Germany demonstrated the potential for cell-based therapies of IVD degeneration. The most clinically applicable sou...
متن کاملThe Regenerative Potential of Notochordal Cells in a Nucleus Pulposus Explant
STUDY DESIGN In vitro disk explant culture. OBJECTIVE Notochordal cells (NCs) have been shown to upregulate matrix production by nucleus pulposus (NP) cells in coculture. To examine the translation of these in vitro results to a nativelike setting, the regenerative potential of NCs injected into NP tissue was assessed in this study. METHODS NP explants were cultured after injection with NCs...
متن کاملRegenerative and Immunogenic Characteristics of Cultured Nucleus Pulposus Cells from Human Cervical Intervertebral Discs
Cell-based regenerative approaches have been suggested as primary or adjuvant procedures for the treatment of degenerated intervertebral disc (IVD) diseases. Our aim was to evaluate the regenerative and immunogenic properties of mildly and severely degenerated cervical nucleus pulposus (NP) cells with regard to cell isolation, proliferation and differentiation, as well as to cell surface marker...
متن کاملNotochordal-cell derived extracellular vesicles exert regenerative effects on canine and human nucleus pulposus cells
During intervertebral disc ageing, chondrocyte-like cells (CLCs) replace notochordal cells (NCs). NCs have been shown to induce regenerative effects in CLCs. Since vesicles released by NCs may be responsible for these effects, we characterized NC-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) and determined their effect on CLCs. EVs were purified from porcine NC-conditioned medium (NCCM) through size exc...
متن کاملThe Comparative Cytomorphology of Nucleus Pulposus Cells
INTRODUCTION The cells of the embryonic notochord play an important role in formation of the spinal column, including the intervertebral discs (IVDs) (1). These cells become trapped inside the annulus fibrosus and reside within the nucleus pulposus at birth, but are generally lost during aging and replaced by small chondrocyte-like cells. The age at which the notochordal cells are lost varies s...
