AbstractCellular replacement therapy using mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and/or the delivery of growth factors are at the forefront of minimally invasive biological treatment options for Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD). In this study, we compared the therapeutic potential of a novel drug candidate, NTG-101 to MSCs, including rat cartilage derived stem cells (rCDSCs), bone marrow stem cells (rBMSCs) and human Umbilical Cord Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells (hUCMSCs) for the treatment of DDD. We induced DDD using a validated image-guided needle puncture injury in rat-tail IVDs. Ten weeks post-injury, animals were randomized and injected with MSCs, NTG-101 or vehicle. At the end of the study, histological analysis of the IVD-Nucleus Pulposus (NPs) injected with NTG-101 or rCDSCs showed a healthy or mild degenerative phenotype in comparison to vehicle controls. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed strong expression of aggrecan, collagen 2, brachyury and Oct4 in IVD-NPs injected with NTG-101. Our results also demonstrated suppression of inflammation induced p38 and NFκB resulting in inhibition of catabolic genes, but activation of Smad-2/3, Erk-1/2 and Akt-dependent signaling inducing anabolic genes in IVD-NP on treatment with NTG-101. In conclusion, a single injection of NTG-101 into the degenerative disc demonstrated superior benefits compared to stem cell transplantation.

Abstract: Degenerative disc disease is a prevalent musculoskeletal disorder in which damaged spinal discs cause pain upon aging, accidental injuries. Spinal discs connect adjacent vertebrae and help in maintaining mobility, flexibility and rotation of spinal cord. Spinal discs also act as shock absorbers. Intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration is often associated with low back and neck pain, which accounts for disability worldwide. Physical therapy, spinal fusion surgeries reduce severity and symptoms of degenerative disc disease but they are not complete cure for this disease. Current preclinical studies show that mesenchymal stem cells have the capacity to repair degenerative disks by differentiation to chondrocyte-like cells, which produce proteoglycans and type II collagen. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) isolated from bone marrow (BM-MSCs), adipose tissue (AD-MSCs) and umbilical cord (UC-MSCs) show potential use in cartilage and intervertebral disc (IVD) repair. Regenerative medicine and stem cell therapy hold great promise for treatment of intervertebral disc (IVD) disease. This review discusses about progression of degenerative disc disease, various types of stem cells, potential use of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and embryonic stem cells (ESCs) for the treatment of degenerative disc disease. This review also focuses upon challenges encountered by the application of stem cell therapy for treating degenerative disc disease as well as future perspectives.

Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui hubungan serum lipid darah dengan degenerative disc disease berdasarkan klasifikasi pfirrmann menggunakan magnetic resonance imaging lumbosacral pada pasien nyeri punggung bawah. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan di Departemen Radiologi RS. Dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo Makassar mulai bulan Oktober 2018 sampai Januari 2019. Subjek sebanyak 52 orang dengan rentang usia 30 - 60 tahun. Metode yang digunakan adalah uji Spearman. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan terdapat korelasi antara kadar low-density lipoprotein (LDL) dan trigliserida serum dengan degenerative disc disease dengan nilai p=0.02 (p0.05). Semakin tinggi kadar LDL dan trigliserida maka derajat degerative disc disease cendereng semakin berat. Tidak terdapat korelasi antara HDL dengan degenerative disc disease. Secara statistik tidak terdapat korelasi antara kolesterol total dengan degenerative disc disease. Namun, didapatkan pada grafik nilai kolesterol total pada setiap derajat degenerative disc disease meningkat.
