Bovine annulus fibrosus cell lines isolated from intervertebral discs
نویسندگان
چکیده
The adult bovine (Bos taurus) intervertebral disc is primarily comprised of two major tissue types: The outer annulus fibrosus (AF) and the central nucleus pulposus (NP). We isolated several primary cell lineages of passage (P) 0 cells from the AF tissue omitting typically used enzymatic tissue digestion protocols. The cells grow past p10 without signs of senescence in DMEM + 10% FCS on 0.1% gelatin coated/uncoated surfaces of standard cell culture plates and survive freeze-thawing. Preliminary analysis of the AF derived cells for expression of the two structural genes Col1a1 and Col2a1 was performed by PISH recapitulating the expression observed in vivo.

An experimental study of the regeneration of the intervertebral disc with an allograft of cultured annulus fibrosus cells using a tissue-engineering method.
STUDY DESIGN Cultured annulus fibrosus cells within an atelocollagen honeycomb-shaped scaffold with a membrane seal were allografted into the lacunas of intervertebral discs of which the nucleus pulposus had been vaporized using an indocyanine green dye-enhanced laser. Regeneration of the intervertebral disc was assessed based on the viability and histologic status of the allografted annulus fi...

Intervertebral disc degeneration is a common condition that may lead to low back pain and radiculopathy. Understanding the pathophysiology and cellular and molecular events of degenerative disc disease has resulted in the proposal of a gene therapy approach to halt and reverse disc degeneration. We explored the feasibility of reversing intervertebral disc degeneration using human vascular endot...
متن کامل[An electron microscopic study on the aging process of the lumbar intervertebral disc].
It is well recognized that the intervertebral disc is composed of a nucleus pulposus, an annulus fibrosus, and a cartilage plate and may play a very important role in spinal stability and kinetics. Degeneration by aging of the lumbar intervertebral disc has been implicated as an important causal factor in the development of low back pain. This study has been undertaken to evaluate the ultrastru...
متن کاملDegenerated annulus fibrosus of the intervertebral disc contains collagen type II.
Collagen has been isolated and purified from the pronase digest of the outer annulus fibrosus of degenerated and unaffected intervertebral discs obtained at necropsy. The mixture of different collagen types has been purified and fractionated by 2 subsequent DEAE-cellulose chromatographic procedures according to established methods. Collagen chain polymers were then isolated by molecular sieving...
متن کاملDevelopment of a whole disc organ culture system to study human intervertebral disc
STUDY TYPE Basic science Objective: Low back pain is one of the most common health problems1 and is strongly associated with intervertebral disc degeneration, (IVD). Current treatments remove the symptoms without reversing or even retarding the underlying problem. Development of new therapy for the regeneration of the degenerative IVD is complicated by the lack of a validated long-term organ ...
