Project description:Circular RNA expression profiling of human nucleus pulposus derived from patients with IDD in comparison with those derived from cadaveric disc as normal control. We have identified the expression profiles of miRNAs (GSE63492), lncRNAs, mRNAs (GSE56081) in IDD using 5 normal discs as control and 5 IDD discs. Accumulating evidence indicates that circRNAs are key regulators of gene expression by interacting with miRNAs. circRNA is a novel type of RNA that, unlike linear RNA, forms a covalently closed continuous loop, and is highly represented in the eukaryotic transcriptome. Two-condition experiment: control nucleus pulposus vs. degenerative nucleus pulposus. Biological replicates: 5 control, 5 degenerated, independently harvested (the same samples as GSE56081 and GSE63492). Four replicates per array.

Project description:Low back pain is a major cause of disability especially for people between 20 and 50 years of age. As a costly healthcare problem, it imposes a serious socio-economic burden. Current surgical therapies have considerable drawbacks and fail to replace the normal disc in facilitating spinal movements and absorbing load. Therefore, the focus of regenerative medicine is on identifying biomarkers and signalling pathways to improve our understanding about the cascades of disc degeneration and allow for the design of specific therapies. We hypothesized that comparing microarray profiles from degenerative and non-degenerative discs will lead to the identification of dysregulated signalling and pathophysiological targets. Microarray data sets were generated from human annulus fibrosus cells and analysed using IPA ingenuity pathway analysis system. Gene expression values were validated by qRT-PCR, and respective proteins were identified by immunohistochemistry. Microarray analysis revealed 17 dysregulated molecular markers and various dysregulated cellular functions, including cell proliferation and inflammatory response, in the human degenerative annulus fibrosus. The most significant canonical pathway induced in degenerative annulus fibrosus was found to be the interferon signalling pathway. In conclusion, this study indicates interferon-alpha signalling pathway activation with IFIT3 and IGFBP3 up-regulation which may affect cellular function in human degenerative disc. 48 samples of intervertebral disc tissue - annulus fibrosus and nucleus pulposus - displaying varying degrees (grades) of degeneration

Project description:Intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) is a main cause of degenerative disc disease, which results in substantial pain among patients. However, the mechanism of degeneration remains unclear. Thus far, basic research on human IVDD has focused on only a limited number of proteins and has not been conducted from a holistic perspective. In this study, we used tandem mass tag (TMT) labeling combined with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) to perform differential proteomic analysis on fetal and geriatric lumbar disc nucleus pulposus tissue. These data indicate that differential proteomics analysis may be an important method for elucidation of the pathophysiological process and molecular biological mechanism of human IVDD from a holistic perspective. The findings in this study will aid in screening of new biomarkers for early diagnosis and targeted treatment of IVDD.

Project description:Given the leading cause of disability worldwide, low back pain (LBP) is recognized as a pivotal socio-economic challenge to the aging population, which is importantly attributed to intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD), a highly prevalent affliction of aging. Elastic nucleus pulposus (NP) tissue is essential for maintenance of IVD structural and functional integrity. Native NP cells exhibit crucial functions for regulating extracellular matrix homeostasis, constructing an accommodating biomechanical environment and maintaining the gelatinous property of NP tissue. The accumulation of senescent NP cells with inflammatory hypersecretory phenotype due to aging and other damaged factors is a distinctive hallmark of IVDD initiation and progression. In this study, we revealed a mechanism of IVDD progression in which aberrant genomic DNA damage promotes NP cell inflammatory senescence via activation of cGAS-STING axis. cGAS-STING axis activation drove inflammatory phenotype acquisition and inflammatory hypersensitivity to damaged signals of senescent NP cells via p65-mediated transcriptional modulation. And STING pharmacological inhibitor notably suppressed p65-mediated inflammatory response formation and senescence-associated screctory phenotype (SASP) acquisition of senescent cells.

Project description:Intervertebral disc degeneration is the main cause of low back pain and the mechanism of which is far from fully revealed. Although multiple factors are related to the intervertebral disc degeneration, inflammation and matrix metabolism dysregulation are the two key factors that play an important role in degeneration. Here, we found that inflammation-related factor CHI3L1 is highly regulated in the nucleus pulposus during degeneration in both RNA and protein level. Immunohistochemical analysis show that the expression of CHI3L1 are NP tissue specific, and increased significantly in the degenerated nucleus pulposus cells. The mechanism of CHI3L1 is thus studied in this experiment.

Project description:Intervertebral disc degeneration is a leading cause of chronic low back pain. Cell-based strategies that seek to treat disc degeneration by regenerating the central nucleus pulposus hold significant promise, but key challenges remain. One of these is the inability of therapeutic cells to effectively mimic the performance of native nucleus pulposus cells, which are unique amongst skeletal cell types in that they arise from the embryonic notochord. In this study we use single cell RNA sequencing to demonstrate emergent heterogeneity amongst notochord-derived nucleus pulposus cells in the postnatal mouse disc. Specifically, we established the existence of early and late stage nucleus pulposus cells, corresponding to notochordal progenitor and mature cells, respectively. Late stage cells exhibited significantly higher expression levels of extracellular matrix genes including aggrecan, and collagens II and VI, along with elevated TGF-β and PI3K-Akt signaling. Additionally, we identified Cd9 as a novel surface marker of late stage nucleus pulposus cells, and demonstrated that these cells were localized to the nucleus pulposus periphery, increased in numbers with increasing postnatal age, and co-localized with emerging glycosaminoglycan-rich extracellular matrix.

Project description:MicroRNA expression profiling of human nucleus pulposus derived from patients with IDD in comparison with those derived from cadaveric disc as normal control. We have identified the expression profiles of miRNAs in IDD using scoliotic nucleus pulposus as controls (GSE19943). It is noteworthy that scoliotic discs are not strictly normal discs. Therefore, the microRNA expression profiles were revisited using normal discs as control. Two-condition experiment: control nucleus pulposus vs. degenerative nucleus pulposus. Biological replicates: 5 control, 5 degenerated, independently harvested (the same samples as in GSE56081). Four replicates per array.

Although multiple factors are related to the intervertebral disc degeneration, inflammation and matrix metabolism dysregulation are the two key factors that play an important role in degeneration. Here, we found that CHSY3 is highly related to the nucleus pulposus degeneration. We generated CHSY3 knockout mice using Crisper/Cas9 system, and the NP cells are studied in this experiment.

Project description:Background: The nucleus pulposus is a constituent structure of the human intervertebral disc, and its degeneration can cause Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD). However the cellular molecular mechanisms involved remain elusive. Methods: Through bioinformatics analysis, the single-cell transcriptome sequencing expression profiles of human normal nucleus pulposus cells (NNP) and human degenerative nucleus pulposus cells (DNP) were compared to clarify the transcriptome differential expression profiles of human normal and human degenerative nucleus pulposus cells. The single-cell sequencing results of the two samples were analyzed using bioinformatics methods to compare the differences in histiocytosis between human normal nucleus pulposus and human degenerated nucleus pulposus, map the histiocytes of NNP and DNP, perform cell differentiation trajectories for the cell populations of interest and predict cell function, and explore their heterogeneity by pathway analysis and Gene ontology analysis. Results: Nine cell types were identified, which were Chondrocyte1, Chondrocyte2, Chondrocyte3, Chondrocyte4, Chondrocyte5, Endothelial, Macrophage, Neutrophil, and T cells. Analysis of the proportion of chondrocytes in different tissues revealed that chondrocyte 1 accounted for a higher proportion of normal nucleus pulposus cells and highly expressed COL2A1 compared with degenerated nucleus pulposus cells; chondrocyte 2, chondrocyte 3, chondrocyte 4, and chondrocyte 5 accounted for a higher proportion of degenerated nucleus pulposus cells compared with normal nucleus pulposus cells. Among them, chondrocyte 2 was an inhibitory calcified chondrocyte with high expression of MGP, Chondrocytes 3 were fibrochondrocytes with high expression of COL1A1, Chondrocytes 4 are chondrocytes that highly express pain inflammatory genes such as PTGES, Chondrocytes 5 were calcified chondrocytes with high expression of FN1. (Chondrocytes 4 and chondrocytes 5 were found for the first time in a study of single-cell transcriptome sequencing of disc tissue.) Cell trajectory analysis revealed that chondrocyte 1 was at the beginning of the trajectory and chondrocyte 3 was at the end of the trajectory, while chondrocyte 5 appeared first in the trajectory relative to chondrocyte 2 and chondrocyte 4. Conclusion: After functional identification of the specifically expressed genes in five chondrocytes, it was found that chondrocyte 1 was a chondrocyte with high expression of COL2A1, COL9A2, COL11A2, and CHRDL2 in a high proportion of normal nucleus pulposus cells, and chondrocyte 3 was a fibrochondrocyte with high expression of COL1A1, COL6A3, COL1A2, COL3A1, AQP1, and COL15A1 in an increased proportion during nucleus pulposus cell degeneration. Through cell trajectory analysis, it was found that chondrocytes 5 specifically expressing FN1, SESN2, and GDF15 may be the key cells leading to degeneration of nucleus pulposus cells. Chondrocytes 2 expressing MGP, MT1G, and GPX3 may play a role in reversing calcification and degeneration, and chondrocytes 4 expressing PTGES, TREM1, and TIMP1 may play a role in disc degeneration pain and inflammation.
