Inflammation Induces Irreversible Biophysical Changes in Isolated Nucleus Pulposus Cells
Intervertebral disc degeneration is accompanied by elevated levels of inflammatory cytokines that have been implicated in disease etiology and matrix degradation. While the effects of inflammatory stimulation on disc cell metabolism have been well-studied, their effects on cell biophysical properties have not been investigated. The hypothesis of this study is that inflammatory stimulation alter...
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...
متن کاملLocal application of nucleus pulposus induces expression OF P2X3 in rat dorsal root ganglion cells.
The P2X(3) receptor is a ligand-gated cation channel that is activated by extra cellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP) found in the dorsal root, trigeminal and nodose ganglia. It is one of the receptors transmitting nociceptive information of injuries and inflammation of the periphery by endogenous ATP released from damaged cells. The present study was performed in order to evaluate if there was...
متن کاملIL-1β induces apoptosis and autophagy via mitochondria pathway in human degenerative nucleus pulposus cells
IL-1β has been reported highly expressed in degenerative intervertebral disc, and our previous study indicated IL-1β facilitates apoptosis of human degenerative nucleus pulposus (NP) cell. However, the underlying molecular mechanism remains unclear. We here demonstrate that IL-1β played a significantly pro-apoptotic effect under serum deprivation. IL-1β decreased Bcl-2/Bax ratio and enhanced cy...
متن کاملIdentification of critical genes in nucleus pulposus cells isolated from degenerated intervertebral discs using bioinformatics analysis
Intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration is a pathological process, which may lead to lower back pain. The present study aimed to investigate the pathogenesis of IVD degeneration. GSE42611 was downloaded from Gene Expression Omnibus, including 4 nucleus pulposus samples isolated from degenerated IVDs and 4 nucleus pulposus samples separated from normal IVDs. The differentially expressed genes (DE...
