Correlational analysis of chemokine and inflammatory cytokine expression in the intervertebral disc and blood in patients with lumbar disc disease

Akihiko Hiyama et al.

Summary: The study investigated the involvement of inflammatory cytokines and chemokines in pain in patients with lumbar degenerative disc disease. The findings showed correlations between chemokine and inflammatory cytokine gene expression levels in IVD tissues and WB samples in relation to pain intensity. WB CCR6 and IL-6 gene expression levels were significantly correlated with present pain, maximum pain, and average pain, but not with low back pain.

Tissue physiology revolving around the clock: circadian rhythms as exemplified by the intervertebral disc

Honor Morris et al.

Summary: The circadian clocks play a crucial role in coordinating local physiology in various tissues, including the intervertebral disc (IVD) within the spine. Disruptions to the circadian rhythm may accelerate tissue degeneration, such as IVD degeneration which is a leading cause of lower back pain. Utilizing biological timing mechanisms could potentially improve tissue health and mitigate the risk of degeneration.

Multiscale Regulation of the Intervertebral Disc: Achievements in Experimental, In Silico, and Regenerative Research

Laura Baumgartner et al.

Summary: Degenerative changes in the intervertebral disc are a major risk factor for low back pain, with accelerated progression in some individuals as they age. Understanding the disease requires identifying key regulatory processes at various levels, from cells to organs. Experimental research and computational modeling have contributed significantly to our understanding of cell signaling pathways and complex interactions within the intervertebral disc.

Platelet-Derived Growth Factor Stimulated Migration of Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells into an Injectable Gelatin-Hydroxyphenyl Propionic Acid Matrix

Wanting Niu et al.

Summary: This study demonstrated the high viability of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (bMSCs) in Gelatin-hydroxyphenyl propionic acid (Gtn-HPA) covalent cross-linking gelation. The incorporation of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-BB directly into the gel or released from polyelectrolyte complex nanoparticles (PCNs) stimulated bMSC migration and proliferation effectively. Stromal cell-derived factor (SDF)-1 alpha enhanced migration and proliferation when released from PCNs, highlighting the potential of using Gtn-HPA/PDGF-BB as an injectable therapeutic agent for musculoskeletal tissue defects.

Matrilin3/TGFβ3 gelatin microparticles promote chondrogenesis, prevent hypertrophy, and induce paracrine release in MSC spheroid for disc regeneration

Alvin Bacero Bello et al.

Summary: Research findings suggest that injecting composite spheroids containing gelatin microparticles loaded with transforming growth factor beta 3 and matrilin 3 can promote chondrogenic differentiation of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cell spheroids while preventing hypertrophy and terminal differentiation of cells. These composite spheroids induce the release of chondrogenic cytokines that promote regeneration of degenerative chondrocytes in vitro. Injection of these composite spheroids in a rat model of intervertebral disc disease restores chondrogenic properties of the cells and allows for regeneration of chondrogenic tissue in vivo.

Development of a library of laminin-mimetic peptide hydrogels for control of nucleus pulposus cell behaviors

Julie E. Speer et al.

Summary: This study investigated the use of laminin-mimetic peptides on a poly(ethylene) glycol hydrogel as a platform to modulate the behaviors of degenerative human NP cells. The results showed that these peptides can promote cell signaling downstream of integrin and syndecan binding, mimicking the behavior of full-length laminins. This provides a potential strategy for regenerative engineering of NP cells in disc degeneration.

INTEGRIN-MEDIA TED INTERACTIONS WITH A LAMININ- PRESENTING SUBSTRATE MODULATE BIOSYNTHESIS AND PHENOTYPIC EXPRESSION FOR CELLS OF THE HUMAN NUCLEUS PULPOSUS

J. Speer et al.

Summary: The study identified integrin alpha 3 as a key regulator in mediating interactions between degenerative NP cells and laminin-111, with blocking this integrin resulting in decreased cell attachment, reduced expression of phenotypic markers, and alterations in cytoskeletal organization. Additionally, integrin alpha 3 plays a critical role in how NP cells sense and alter phenotype in response to culture upon laminin.

Summary: Low back pain is a major cause of disability, with symptomatic intervertebral disc degeneration contributing to a significant portion of cases. Current treatments often fail to address the root problem, leading to a need for novel therapies. Small molecule-based therapy shows potential in treating intervertebral disc degeneration, but is still in its early stages of development.
