Nucleus pulposus cell-matrix interactions with laminins.

The cells of the nucleus pulposus (NP) region of the intervertebral disc play a critical role in this tissue's generation and maintenance, and alterations in NP cell viability, metabolism, and phenotype with aging may be key contributors to progressive disc degeneration. Relatively little is understood about the phenotype of NP cells, including their cell-matrix interactions which may modulate ...

TonEBP/OREBP is a regulator of nucleus pulposus cell function and survival in the intervertebral disc.

The nucleus pulposus is an aggrecan-rich hydrated tissue that permits the intervertebral disc to resist compressive loads. Adaptation to loading is achieved through an elevation in disc osmolarity mediated by the numerous charged glycosoaminoglycan side chains of the aggrecan molecule. The goal of this investigation was to determine the functional role of the osmo-regulatory protein, TonEBP, in...

Acid-sensing ion channel 1a regulates the survival of nucleus pulposus cells in the acidic environment of degenerated intervertebral discs

Objective(s): Activation of acid-sensing ion channel 1a (ASIC1a) is responsible for tissue injury caused by acidosis in nervous systems. But its physiological and pathological roles in nucleus pulposus cells (NPCs) are unclear. The aim of this study is to investigate whether ASIC1a regulates the survival of NPCs in the acidic environment of degenerated discs. Materials and Methods: NPCs were i...

Notochordal cell rich nucleus pulposus tissue increases proteoglycan accumulation and promotes a healthy nucleus pulposus phenotype in human MSCs

pulposus phenotype in human MSCs +Purmessur, D; Godburn K; Abbott, RD: Schek RM; Iatridis JC +University of Vermont, Burlington VT Senior author [email protected] INTRODUCTION Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are an attractive cell source for IVD repair, yet the means of differentiating these cells to a nucleus pulposus (NP) phenotype is not clear and an area of high priority. Notochordal cel...

Nucleus pulposus explant culture model.

Many of the therapeutic interventions for intervertebral disc degeneration attempt to repopulate the nucleus pulposus (NP) tissue; however, NP cells are heterogeneous and not well characterized. To address this, we have investigated the morphology, extracellular gene and protein expression, and apoptosis changes in NP explants cultured in vitro with or without chondrogenic reagents for differen...
