The role of apoptosis in the pathogenesis intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) remains enigmatic. Accumulating evidence has shown that apoptotic machinery is regulated by miRNAs. We hypothesized miRNAs might contribute to IDD. have found 29 were differentially expressed and miR-155 was down-regulated degenerative nucleus pulposus (NP). deregulation further verified using real-time PCR (0.56 fold, p < 0.05). Bioinformatics target prediction identified FADD caspase-3 as putative targets...

Angiogenesis is a pathological signature of intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD). Accumulating evidence has shown that notochordal cells (NCs) play an essential role in maintaining development and homeostasis with inhibitive effect on blood vessel in-growth. However, the anti-angiogenesis mechanism NCs still unclear. In current study, we, for first time, isolated NC-derived exosomes (NC-exos) showed their increased concentration following compressive load cultures. We further found NC-exos...

African swine fever (ASF) is a highly contagious, fatal disease of pigs caused by virus (ASFV). The complexity ASFV and our limited understanding its interactions with the host have constrained development vaccines antiviral strategies. To identify factors required for replication, we developed genome-wide CRISPR knockout (GeCKO) screen that contains 186,510 specific single guide RNAs (sgRNAs) targeting 20,580 pig genes used genotype II to perform GeCKO in wild boar lung (WSL) cells.

ABSTRACT Biologic and cellular treatment strategies aiming for curing intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) have been proposed recently. Given the convenient availability expansion potential, adipose‐derived stromal cells (ADSCs) might be an ideal cell candidate. However, interaction between ADSCs nucleus pulposus (NP) still remains ambiguous, especially in direct co‐cultures of two types cells. Nevertheless, NP markers after were unidentified. Here, we addressed human a co‐culture system...
