Pericellular colocalisation and interactive properties of type VI collagen and perlecan in the intervertebral disc.
The aim of this study was to immunolocalise type VI collagen and perlecan and determine their interactive properties in the intervertebral disc (IVD). Confocal laser scanning microscopy co-localised perlecan with type VI collagen as pericellular components of IVD cells and translamellar cross-bridges in ovine and murine IVDs. These cross-bridges were significantly less abundant in the heparin s...
متن کاملCollagen polymorphisms of the intervertebral disc.
The mechanical function and the collagen phenotype of the disc are complex, each a hybrid of elements of ligament and cartilage. In detail, the collagen properties are unique. Collagens I and II provide the bulk of the tissue fabric interwoven in opposing radial concentration gradients. From analysis of isolated cross-linked peptides, some degree of commingling of these major fibrillar collagen...

15 صفحه اولThe collagen of the intervertebral disc in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.
A defect in the collagenous matrix of the intervertebral disc has been proposed as a contributory factor in the pathogenesis or progression, or both, ofthe scoliotic deformity. In an attempt to resolve these questions the collagen extractability and distribution across normal and scoliotic discs was investigated. The collagen content ofthe scoliotic nucleus pulposus was found to be higher than ...
متن کاملEffects of Morphine Dependency on Intervertebral Disc in the Rat
Background: A large proportion of patients presenting with lumbar disc disease are opium addicts in our region. It was, therefore, hypothesized that morphine might affect the intervertebral disc. We investigated the histological findings of morphine dependency on intervertebral discs in rat. Methods: Forty NMRI adult male rats (230-250 g) placed on ordinary diet and received aqueous solution of...
