Transcription profiling of bovine nucleus pulposus, carticular cartilage and annulus fibrosus cells to further determine expression in normal and degenerate human intervertebral disc

ABSTRACT: The aim of this transcription profiling study was to identify novel genes that could be used to distinguish bovine Nucleus pulposus (NP) cells from articular cartilage (AC) and annulus fibrosus (AF) cells and to further determine their expression in normal and degenerate human intervertebral disc (IVD). This study has identified a number of novel genes that characterise the bovine and human NP and IVD cell phenotypes and allows for discrimination between AC, AF and NP cells.

<h4>Introduction</h4>Nucleus pulposus (NP) cells have a phenotype similar to articular cartilage (AC) cells. However, the matrix of the NP is clearly different to that of AC suggesting that specific cell phenotypes exist. The aim of this study was to identify novel genes that could be used to distinguish bovine NP cells from AC and annulus fibrosus (AF) cells, and to further determine their expression in normal and degenerate human intervertebral disc (IVD) cells.<h4>Methods</h4>Microarrays were ...[more]

Transcription profiling of human nucleus pulposus vs articular cartilage cell types

Project description:The aim of this study was threefold: Firstly, to carry out microarray hybridisations using human AC and NP cells to identify NP and AC specific markers. Secondly, to further investigate their ability to characterise adult derived stem cells differentiating towards an NP phenotype using an in vitro differentiation system and thirdly, in their application to compare the suitability of BMSC and ADRCs as a stem cell source for tissue engineering of the IVD. Using microarray technology we have identified several novel human AC and NP markers and have demonstrated that these markers are capable of identifying the differentiation of adult derived stem cells towards an NP rather than an AC phenotype. In addition these markers suggest that ADRCs provide a more suitable cell source for tissue engineering of the intervertebral disc.

Actively synthesised proteins in human intervertebral disc

Project description:The intervertebral disc (IVD) is a joint in the spine that facilitates daily movement, comprising of the central nucleus pulposus (NP), surrounded by the annulus fibrosus (AF) and sandwiched between two cartilage endplates that function together as a unit. Changes to the IVD occur with aging, most drastically in the NP where it experiences dehydration and loss of cellularity, directly impacting on the integrity of the biomechanical functions of the IVD. Whilst the static proteome reflects the long-term accumulation of proteins and their turnover over the lifetime of the IVD, this information may not reflect immediate cellular changes that may alter during the course of time. To gain a better understanding of cellular function and protein turnover in disc homeostasis (health) versus aging, we analysed the actively synthesized proteins using the SILAC approach. Clinical specimens from spine surgeries for scoliosis (young samples; NP n=2, AF n=4) or degeneration (aged samples; NP n=1, AF n=1) were used in this study.

Shared and compartment-specific processes in nucleus pulposus and annulus fibrosus during intervertebral disc degeneration

Project description:Elucidating how cell populations promote onset and progression of intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) has the potential to enable more precise therapeutic targeting of cells and mechanisms. Single cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) was performed on surgically separated annulus fibrosus (AF) (19,978; 26,983 cells) and nucleus pulposus (NP) (20,884; 24,489 cells) from healthy and diseased human intervertebral discs (IVD). In both tissue types, we observed depletion of cell subsets involved in maintenance of healthy IVD, specifically the immature cell subsets – fibroblast progenitors and stem cells – indicative of an impairment of normal tissue self-renewal. We also identified tissue-specific changes. In NP, several fibrotic populations were increased in degenerated IVD, indicating tissue-remodeling. In degenerated AF, we identified a novel disease-associated subset, which is a stem cell-derived abnormally differentiated chondrocytic population and expresses disease-promoting genes. It was associated with pathogenic biological processes and the main gene regulatory networks includedthrombospondinsignaling and FOXO1 transcription factor. Our data reveal new insights of both shared and tissue-specific changes in specific cell populations in AF and NP during IVD degeneration. These identified mechanisms and molecules are novel and more precise targets for IDD prevention and treatment.

Proteomic landscape of murine intervertebral disc reveals mechanisms involved in homeostasis and disc structure maintenance

Project description:To fully apprehend the complex mechanisms responsible for intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration, one needs to gain a deeper understanding of what characterizes a healthy disc. Using a quantitative proteomic approach, we analyzed methodically the differences existing between IVD genders, levels and components. A total of 2776 proteins were identified and we showed that cross regional but not gender variation existed along the mouse spine. Components comparison established CD109, CD81 and Col12a1 as novel NP and AF markers. NP cell clustering involved Cdh2 and tight junctions whereas early phase of adaptation to hypertonicity, the regulation of cell volume, was ensured by Slc12a2 and Wnk1. AF cells were protected from oxidative stress by expressing Atox1 and Sod3. Finally notochordal-like cells vacuoles were not acidic nor lipid droplets. Altogether, our study provides a first comprehensive landscape of the biology of a healthy murine IVD and identifies mechanisms involved in homeostasis and structure maintenance.

Matrisome remodelling during Intervertebral Disc development and ageing

Project description:Intervertebral disc (IVD) is often the cause of low back pain. Degeneration occurs with age and is accompanied by extracellular matrix (ECM) depletion, culminating in nucleus pulpous (NP) extrusion and IVD destruction. Although the changes that occur with ageing in the IVD have been under study, not much attention has been given to ECM remodelling during normal development. Therefore, a thorough study of ECM composition and a comprehensive view on how this microenvironment is affected in normal ageing conditions is needed, to better understand the processes involved in IVD development and in age-associated degeneration. We have compared the NP matrisome of bovine IVDs from foetus, young and old animals by quantitative iTRAQ LC-MS/MS. Protein expression levels of the most interesting candidates were validated by Western Blot analysis. In total, 161 bovine proteins were identified. Of these, 77 molecules were common to the three different age groups, of which 36 defined the NP matrisome. Differential expression levels obtained for Collagen Type XI, XII, XIV, Fibronectin and Prolargin were independently confirmed. Herein, we demonstrate a shift in NP matrisome signatures that occurs in healthy bovine IVDs with development and ageing. Thus, this study provides insight into factors that may explain age-associated IVD degeneration, and which are putative targets for therapy. It also highlights key molecules, characteristic of early developmental stages, which constitute potential effectors in IVD regeneration.

In vitro differentiation of pluripotent stem cells towards notochordal-like cells

Project description:Description: The intervertebral disc (IVD) is a joint in the spine that is comprised of three major structures, the nucleus pulposus (NP), annulus fibrosus (AF) and cartilaginous endplate (EP). The NP is a proteoglycan-rich structure which contains a heterogenous population including the presence of progenitors such as the notochordal-like cells (NLCs) and NP cells, which are responsible for the synthesis and turnover of extracellular matrix in the NP. During aging and degeneration, there is a loss of cells, hydration, and changes in the ECM, that leads to the alterations in the biomechanical function of the IVD. The replenishment of cells, in particular, the progenitors are a potential therapy for IVD degeneration. However, a major challenge lies in obtaining sufficient numbers of healthy cells for treatment. This study used a 3 part protocol to differentiate pluripotent stem cells into NLCs in vitro.

Gene expression data for human intervertebral discs

Project description:The human intervertebral disc (IVD) is a complex and dynamic structure that functions to provide spinal stability, mobility and flexibility. It comprises three main compartments: 1) a water-rich central compartment called the nucleus pulposus (NP), which is enveloped by 2) the annulus fibrosus (AF) and sandwiched between 3) two cartilaginous endplates (EP) from which the IVD gains its nutrition and provides a means to get rid of metabolic waste. The IVD is constantly under extreme conditions of hypoxia, nutrition, and loading stresses. As such, it wears with ageing, and the rates of wearing may be sped up by a multitude of risk factors. Phenotypically, the AF may become weaker that a portion of it may protrude into neighboring tissues, resulting in disc bulging, or even worse, it may rupture and form a herniation Most striking of all, magnetic nuclear imaging (MRI) of the NP may become darker, with spotted high-intensity zones (HIZs), indications of dehydration and annular disruptions (Peng, et al. 2006). In a herniated or even collapsed disc, the contents of NP may leak into the neighboring spaces and external cells (such as macrophages) may infiltrate into the NP (Nakazawa, et al. 2018), causing the disc functions to be partially or fully compromised. The underlying mechanism of these involves complex interplays of cellular and molecular changes and remains poorly understood; nevertheless, the process is suggested to be triggered and driven by both environmental and genetic factors, or their combinations. In an effort to study the molecular dynamics of the ageing process of the human IVD, we profiled the transcriptomes of two groups of individuals: a young and non-degenerated group (N=2) and an aged and degenerated group (N=2). We profiled the transcriptomes of both AF and NP for each individual.

The degradome of the human intervertebral disc

Project description:The intervertebral disc (IVD) is a joint in the spine that facilitates daily physical activity, comprising of the central nucleus pulposus (NP), surrounded by the annulus fibrosus (AF) and sandwiched between two cartilage endplates that function together as a unit. Changes to the IVD occur with aging, most drastically in the NP where it experiences dehydration and loss of cellularity, directly impacting on the integrity of the biomechanical functions of the IVD. We were interested in examining the types of degraded proteins in young and aged disc samples to further understand the protein turnover in aging and homeostasis. We analysed the degradome for degraded proteins using terminal amine isotopic labeling of substrates (TAILS) Clinical specimens from spine surgeries for scoliosis (young samples, n=3) or degeneration (aged samples, n=3) were used in this study.

Single-cell RNA-seq analysis of cells from degenerating and non-degenerating intervertebral discs from the same individual reveals new biomarkers for intervertebral disc degeneration

Project description:Low back pain continues to be a major public health problem worldwide. In this study, we used single-cell transcriptomic analysis to identify new specific biomarkers for nucleus pulposus (NP) and annulus fibrosis (AF) cells and to define cell populations within non-degenerating and degenerating human intervertebral discs (IVD). Freshly isolated human NP and AF cells were separately isolated from non-degenerating (nD) and degenerating (D) discs of the same individual. Isolated cells were subjected to droplet-based single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-Seq) using 10X Genomics platform. A total of 3134 (AFD), 3182 (AFnD), 3665 (NPD) and 3918 (NPnD) individual cells were profiled from nD and D discs respectively.
