Abstract Narrowed intervertebral disc (IVD) space is a characteristic of IVD degeneration. EP sclerosis associated with IVD, however the pathogenesis hypertrophy poorly understood. Here, we employed two spine instability mouse models to investigate temporal and spatial changes volume, considering them as functional unit. We found that aberrant mechanical loading leads accelerated ossification EP, decreased volume increased activation TGFβ. Overexpression active TGFβ in CED mice showed...

Abstract Skeletal interoception regulates bone homeostasis through the prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) concentration in bone. Vertebral endplates undergo ossification and become highly porous during intervertebral disc degeneration aging. We found that PGE2 was elevated to generate spinal pain. Importantly, treatment with a high-dose cyclooxygenase 2 inhibitor (celecoxib, 80 mg·kg −1 per day) decreased attenuated pain mice lumbar spine instability. However, this impaired formation endplates,...

In previous studies, both 17β-estradiol (E2) and resveratrol (RES) were reported to protect intervertebral disc cells against aberrant apoptosis. Given that E2 has a better anti-apoptotic effect with more cancer risk RES an less risk, the combined use of is promising in developing clinical therapies treat apoptosis-related diseases such as degeneration future.The purpose this study was explore on rat nucleus pulposus underlying mechanisms.TUNEL assay FACS analysis used determine apoptotic...

This study aimed to investigate the protective effect of adipose tissue-derived exosomes (AT-Exo) on rat nucleus pulposus cells (NPCs). Ultracentrifugation was used extract from tissue. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Western blot, and nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA) were characterize exosomes. Tert-butyl hydrogen peroxide (TBHP) induce apoptosis NPCs. Cell viability determined by CCK-8 assay. AT-Exo administered its NPCs using blot immunofluorescence staining. successfully...

This study was aimed to further explore whether estradiol (E2) had protective effects on intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) in a rat model.Forty, three-month-old female Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into four groups: Sham, Ovariectomy (OVX), E2 and ICI182780 (ICI). Sham group only underwent the resection of bit fat; OVX bilateral ovariectomy; treated with based OVX; ICI pretreated (inhibitor estrogen receptor) OVX. Radiography, hematoxylin eosin (HE) staining,...

Patients with degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis (DLS) often suffer from years of low back pain (LBP) due to instability the spine and reduction disc height. Since January 2016, we have performed oblique lateral interbody fusion (OLIF) on 154 patients. Among these, 56 patients who suffered DLS underwent OLIF stand-alone cages. Forty-two a follow-up time that exceeded 1-year were enrolled for this study. The forty-two followed up at least one year. Operation segments ranged L3-4 L4-5. All...

BACKGROUND:The exosomes (Exo) derived from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are capable of attenuating the apoptosis nucleus pulposus (NPCs) elicited by proinflammatory cytokines. However, it remains unknown whether MSC-derived Exo also exert a protective effect on NPCs in pathological acid environment. MATERIAL AND METHODS:NPCs were divided into 3 groups: Group A, pH 7.1–7.3; B, 6.5–6.7 and C, 5.9–6.1. The cultured above-defined acidic medium, different amounts added media. Finally, expression...

Intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) is the main pathological basis of spinal degenerative diseases, and aberrant apoptosis nucleus pulposus cells (NPCs) cellular process that causes IVDD. In our previous studies, 17β‑estradiol (E2) was demonstrated to protect rat NPCs from interleukin‑1β (IL‑1β)‑induced via PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. However, downstream pathway currently unclear. The present study aimed explore pathways are pathway, including mTOR, NF‑κB glycogen synthase kinase‑3β...
