Digoxin protects against intervertebral disc degeneration via TNF/NF-κB and LRP4 signaling

Frontiers in Immunology, 2023
BackgroundIntervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) is a leading cause of low back pain (LBP). The pathological process of IVDD is associated with inflammatory reactions and extracellular matrix (ECM) disorders.

Biomechanical study of intervertebral disc degeneration

, 2023
Degeneration and age affect the biomechanics of the intervertebral disc, by reducing its stiffness, flexibility and shock absorption capacities against daily movement and spinal load. The biomechanical characterization of intervertebral discs is achieved by conducting mechanical testing to vertebra-disc-vertebra segments and applying axial, shear, bend

Identifying Myeloid‐Derived Suppressor Cells and Lipocalin‐2 as Therapeutic Targets for Intervertebral Disc Degeneration

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Inflammatory dysregulation drives intervertebral disc degeneration via stage‐dependent immune cellular dynamics. Single‐cell transcriptomics and genetic risk mapping revealed a shift from LCN2high myeloid‐derived suppressor cells maintaining disc repair in early stages to IL1B+ macrophage‐dominated pathology in advanced disease.

PIEZO1‐GPX4 Axis Mediates Mechanical Stress‐Induced Vertebral Growth Plate Dysplasia via Ferroptosis Activation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Mechanical stress activates PIEZO1 in vertebral growth plate chondrocytes, triggering ferroptosis through direct binding and inhibition of GPX4. This axis promotes lipid peroxidation and pathological ossification, accelerating spinal deformities. Clinical and genetic evidence (Piezo1‐cKO) confirms its role in scoliosis progression.

An investigation into the effectiveness of collagenase for the percutaneous discolysis of thoracolumbar intervertebral discs in the dog : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Veterinary Science at Massey University [PDF]

, 1993
This investigation compared the effectiveness of chemonucleolysis with 500 units of collagenase, to lateral fenestration of the thoracolumbar intervertebral discs of the non-chondrodystrophoid dog.

Brachyury‐Activated Fucoidan Hydrogel Microspheres Rejuvenate Degenerative Intervertebral Discs Microenvironment

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study describes the creation of injectable Brachyury (Bry) mRNA‐loaded Fucoidan‐functionalized GelMA hydrogel microspheres (BLNP@GF). These microspheres efficiently suppress inflammation, enhance extracellular matrix (ECM) synthesis in degenerated nucleus pulposus cells, and mitigate intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) in rat models.

Co-culture of Adult Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Nucleus Pulposus Cells in Bilaminar Pellets for Intervertebral Disc Regeneration [PDF]

, 2009
Background: Our goal is to optimize stem cell-based tissue engineering strategies in the context of the intervertebral disc environment. We explored the benefits of co-culturing nucleus pulposus cells (NPC) and adult mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) using a ...

Human iPSCs Derived MSCs‐Secreted Exosomes Modulate Senescent Nucleus Pulposus Cells Induced Macrophage Polarization via Metabolic Reprogramming to Mitigate Intervertebral Disc Degeneration

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Senescent nucleus pulposus cells drive inflammatory M1 macrophage polarization, exacerbating intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD). Conversely, M1 macrophages accelerate NP cell senescence, creating a vicious cycle. iPSCs‐derived mesenchymal stem cell (iMSCs) exosomes break this loop by delivering miR‐100‐5p to suppress mTORC1/glycolysis in ...

Endogenous musculoskeletal tissue engineering - a focused perspective [PDF]

, 2012
Two major difficulties facing widespread clinical implementation of existing Tissue Engineering (TE) strategies for the treatment of musculoskeletal disorders are (1) the cost, space and time required for ex vivo culture of a patient’s autologous cells ...
