Drug‐Induced Cuproptosis Defines the Therapeutic Window of Celecoxib in Intervertebral Disc Degeneration via the HSP90‐RBX1 Axis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals the dual role of celecoxib in intervertebral disc degeneration. While low concentrations are protective, high concentrations induce toxicity by upregulating HSP90, which synergizes with USP15 to deubiquitinate and stabilize RBX1. This leads to degradation of COMMD1/ATP7B, copper dyshomeostasis, and ultimately, cuproptosis.

Collagen type II is downregulated in the degenerative nucleus pulposus and contributes to the degeneration and apoptosis of human nucleus pulposus cells

Molecular Medicine Reports, 2017
Degenerative disc disease (DDD) is a common degenerative condition initiated mainly within the nucleus pulposus (NP). To date, the etiopathogenesis of DDD remains unclear, and because no effective therapeutic strategies are available to target its pathological processes, DDD is still treated with symptomatic interventions that are far from adequate ...

THBS1+ Macrophages Exacerbate Modic Changes via SDC4‐Dependent Activation of NLRP3 Inflammasome

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The illustration of THBS1+ macrophages exacerbate MCs via SDC4‐dependent activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome. THBS1+ macrophage subpopulation was identified in MCs through single‐cell RNA sequencing. C. acnes and its metabolites activate THBS1 expression in macrophages via the TLR signaling pathway.

Dynamics of CD44+ bovine nucleus pulposus cells with inflammation

Scientific Reports
Abstract Intervertebral Disc (IVD) degeneration has been associated with a chronic inflammatory response, but knowledge on the contribution of distinct IVD cells, namely CD44, to the progression of IVD degeneration remains elusive. Here, bovine nucleus pulposus (NP) CD44 cells were sorted and compared by gene expression and proteomics

Measurement and evaluation of surgical models of spinal fusion in mice, rats, and rabbits

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
In this study, spinal fusion models in mice, rats and rabbits are compared and discussed. The results show that after comparing the anatomical structure and the complexity of surgical operation, among the three experimental animals in this study, the rabbit as an experimental animal is superior to the mouse and the rat in the establishment of spinal ...

MicroRNA-10b promotes nucleus pulposus cell proliferation through RhoC-Akt pathway by targeting HOXD10 in intervetebral disc degeneration.

PLoS ONE, 2013
Aberrant proliferation of nucleus pulposus cell is implicated in the pathogenesis of intervertebral disc degeneration. Recent findings revealed that microRNAs, a class of small noncoding RNAs, could regulate cell proliferation in many pathological ...

Knockdown of miR-660 protects nucleus pulposus cells from TNF-a-induced apoptosis by targeting serum amyloid A1

Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research, 2020
Background Intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) is a well-known cause of lower back pain, which is induced by multiple factors including increased apoptosis and decreased survival of nucleus pulposus cells.

Double‐Row Rotator Cuff Repair With Biological Augmentation Using Fibrin Clot‐Loaded Tendon Remnants

Arthroscopy Techniques, EarlyView.
Abstract Rotator cuff tears are a common cause of shoulder dysfunction, and the management of remnant tendon during repair remains a clinical challenge. This article describes a technique that preserves tendon remnants by wrapping them in a fibrin clot, thereby enhancing the biological environment at the tendon‐bone interface. The fibrin clot, prepared

MiR-125a Rs12976445 Polymorphism is Associated with the Apoptosis Status of Nucleus Pulposus Cells and the Risk of Intervertebral Disc Degeneration

Cellular Physiology and Biochemistry, 2016
Background: Spinal degenerative diseases are a major health problem and social burden worldwide. Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) is the pathological basis of spinal degenerative diseases and is characterized by loss of nucleus pulposus cells due ...

High BMPR2 expression leads to enhanced SMAD1/5/8 signalling and GDF6 responsiveness in human adipose-derived stem cells: implications for stem cell therapies for intervertebral disc degeneration

Journal of Tissue Engineering, 2020
Stem cell–based regenerative strategies are promising for intervertebral disc degeneration. Stimulation of bone-marrow- and adipose-derived multipotent stem cells with recombinant human growth differentiation factor 6 (rhGDF6) promotes anabolic nucleus ...
