In Vivo Mouse Intervertebral Disc Degeneration Model Based on a New Histological Classification
Although human intervertebral disc degeneration can lead to several spinal diseases, its pathogenesis remains unclear. This study aimed to create a new histological classification applicable to an in vivo mouse intervertebral disc degeneration model induced by needle puncture. One hundred six mice were operated and the L4/5 intervertebral disc was punctured with a 35- or 33-gauge needle. Micro-...
متن کاملIn vivo experimental intervertebral disc degeneration induced by bleomycin in the rhesus monkey
BACKGROUND Recently, biological therapies for early intervention of degenerative disc disease have been introduced and developed; however, a functional animal model that mimics slowly progressive disc degeneration of humans does not exist. The objective of this study was to establish a slowly progressive and reproducible intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration model. METHODS The subchondral bo...
متن کاملEpoxyeicosanoids prevent intervertebral disc degeneration in vitro and in vivo
Intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration is considered a common cause of low back pain. In the degenerating IVD, the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, including IL-1 and TNF-α, progressively increases, contributing to the degenerative process. Epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs), synthesized from arachidonic acid by cytochrome P450 enzymes, act as autocrine and paracrine effectors in regulat...
متن کاملIntervertebral Disc Dynamics and Degeneration
Degenerative disc disease is a serious health problem worldwide, whose etiological basis – mechanical stimulus, biochemical changes, or natural aging – is poorly understood. While the disc’s known function is that of dynamic shock absorber, its dynamic response has not been fully characterized throughout the disc health spectrum (from healthy to degenerate). Therefore, this study aimed to corre...
متن کاملDegeneration of the intervertebral disc
The intervertebral disc is a cartilaginous structure that resembles articular cartilage in its biochemistry, but morphologically it is clearly different. It shows degenerative and ageing changes earlier than does any other connective tissue in the body. It is believed to be important clinically because there is an association of disc degeneration with back pain. Current treatments are predomina...
