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.

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.

Project description:Failure of intervertebral disc components, e.g. the nucleus pulposus causes intervertebral disc disease and associated low-back pain. Despite the high prevalence of disc disease, the changes in intervertebral disc cells and their regenerative potential with ageing and degeneration are not fully elucidated. Understanding the cell lineage, cell differentiation and maintenance of nucleus pulposus may have therapeutic application for the regeneration of degenerative disc, with significant impact for healthy ageing. Here we found that TAGLN expressing cells are present in human healthy nucleus pulposus, but diminish in degenerative disc. By lineage analyses in mice, we found cells in the nucleus pulposus are derived from a peripherally located population of notochord-derived Tagln expressing cells (PeriNP cells). The PeriNP cells are proliferative and can differentiate into the inner part of the nucleus pulposus. The Tagln+ cells and descendants diminish during aging and puncture induced disc degeneration. The maintenance and differentiation of PeriNP cells is partially regulated by Smad4 dependent signaling. Removal of Smad4 by nucleus pulposus specific Cre (Foxa2mNE-Cre), results in decreased Tagln+ cells and abnormal disc morphology, leading to disc degeneration. Our findings propose that the PeriNP Tagln expressing cells are a pool of notochord-derived progenitors that are important for maintenance of the nucleus pulposus and provide insights for regenerative therapy against intervertebral disc degeneration.

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: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:Synovial and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells after intradiscally injection show regenerative effects of nucleus pulposus. Microarray analyses of rats were performed to investigate the closeness of the gene profiles between the nucleus pulposus cells and the synovial or bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. To investigate interaction between synovial mesenchymal stem cells and nucleus pulposus cells, human synovial mesenchymal stem cells and rat nucleus pulposus cells were co-cultured, and species specific microarray were performed. Synovium of knee joints, bone marrow and nucleus pulposus were harvested from rat or human, and cells were isolated for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. To compare the gene profiles each other, isolated cells were mono-cultured respectively, and human synovial mesenchymal stem cells and rat nucleus pulposus cells were co-cultured.
