MiR-532 downregulation of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling via targeting Bcl-9 and induced human intervertebral disc nucleus pulposus cells apoptosis

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2018
Objective: Intervertebral disc degeneration was characterized with aberrant intervertebral disc nucleus pulposus cells apoptosis. MiR-532 was reported to be up-regulated in the patients with intervertebral disc degeneration.

Influence of Age-Related Degeneration on Regenerative Potential of Human Nucleus Pulposus Cells

, 2011
Nucleus pulposus (NP) cells, sourced from herniation surgeries, may be used as a cell-based therapy for intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration. But, both the regenerative potential of these degenerative adult NP cells and how to stimulate optimum matrix ...

Cell Adhesion by Design: Engineering Tissue Culture Scaffolds With Adhesion Cues

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In scaffold‐based tissue engineering, the matrix should provide adequate adhesion cues for cell attachment, spreading, and function. Given the multitude of adhesion receptors and the diversity of scaffolds, there are many approaches to render scaffolds adhesive, even though they are not all equivalent.

Piezo2 Mediates a Vicious Cycle of “Mechanical Homeostasis Imbalance—Inflammation” in Sensory Nerves and the Cartilage Endplate

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In a lumbar spine instability model, dorsal root ganglion cells mediate the perception of relevant mechanical stresses through Piezo2 and subsequently release CGRP. CGRP activates the NF‐κB signaling pathway in cartilage endplate cells through the receptor RAMP1.

Antifungal penetration into normal rabbit nucleus pulposus

, 2004
A rabbit model was used to assess the penetration into the nucleus pulposus of 3 commonly used antifungal medications: amphotericin B, amphotericin B lipid complex, and fluconazole.

Senolytic Therapy as a Preventive Strategy for Spine Degeneration and Pain

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Cellular senescence promotes inflammation, tissue degeneration, and chronic back pain. In sparc‐null mice, early oral administration of the senolytic agents o‐vanillin and RG‐7112 reduced senescent cell burden and pro‐inflammatory SASP signaling across intervertebral discs, endplates, vertebral bone, and spinal cord.

Hemeoxygenase-1 Suppresses IL-1β-Induced Apoptosis Through the NF-κB Pathway in Human Degenerative Nucleus Pulposus Cells

Cellular Physiology and Biochemistry, 2018
Background/Aims: Nucleus pulposus cell (NPC) apoptosis is the main factor in intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD); thus, inhibiting the excessive apoptosis of nucleus pulposus cells may be a potential way to alleviate IDD. The effect of Hemeoxygenase-1

Cervical and Lumbar Herniated Nucleus Pulposus Resorption after Acupotomy with Integrative Korean Medicine Treatment: A Case Series of Two Patients [PDF]

Journal of Acupuncture Research, 2019
The aim of this study was to report on the resorption of herniated nucleus pulposus following acupotomy treatment. Two patients were treated with acupotomy which included integrative Korean Medicine treatment, for either cervical, or lumbar herniated ...

In Situ Stress‐Dispersing Hydrogel Millispheres via Load Redistribution to Restore Nucleus Pulposus Metabolic Homeostasis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Local stress concentration disrupts metabolic homeostasis and induces inflammation in the nucleus pulposus (NP), thereby accelerating intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD). A biomimetic HA/ChS hydrogel millimeter sphere (ChS@HM) is developed to enable synergistic stress dispersion and sustained hydration lubrication.
