Isolation and Characterization of Mesenchymal Stromal Cells From Human Degenerated Nucleus Pulposus: Comparison With Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stromal Cells From the Same Subjects
Abstract
In Brief Study Design. To identify mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) from degenerate human nucleus pulposus (NP) and compare them with bone marrow (BM) MSC. Objective. To test whether MSC obtained from NP and BM from the same subjects share similar biologic characteristics. Summary of Background Data. Recent studies have proposed biologic strategies for the treatment of intervertebral disc degeneration, including cell therapy. Bone marrow (BM) MSC could be an attractive approach to restore disc function, and there is evidence that NP may contain MSC-like cells. Methods. Tissue samples were obtained from degenerate lumbar NP and from iliac crest of the same 16 patients with degenerative disc diseases, undergoing discectomy and fusion procedures. MSC isolated from both sources were compared regarding their expansion time, immunophenotype, differentiation ability, and molecular analysis. Results. In all cases, MSC from NP were isolated and expanded. They fulfil nearly all morphological, inmunophenotypical, and differentiation criteria described by the International Society of Cell Therapy for MSC, with the exception that NP-MSC are not able to differentiate into adipocytes. Slight differences were observed with BM-MSC from the same subjects. Conclusion. The NP contains mesenchymal stem cells. These cells were quite similar to mesenchymal stem cellsfrom BM, with the exception of their adipogenic differentiation ability. These findings suggest that we may treat intervertebral disc degeneration by cell therapy (MSC from BM) and by stimulating endogenous MSC from NP. Mesenchymal stromal cells from nucleus pulposus have been isolated and expanded. Their morphologic, immunophenotypical, molecular characteristics and differentiation abilities were compared to those obtained from bone marrow of the same patients. Nucleus pulposus-mesenchymal stromal cells are fairly similar to bone marrow-mesenchymal stromal cells, with the exception that they do not differentiate into adipocytes.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
