Genome-wide DNA methylation profile analysis of human intervertebral disc degeneration

ABSTRACT: The pathophysiology of intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration is not entirely understood; however, environmental and endogenous factors under genetic predisposition are considered to initiate the degenerative changes of human IVDs. Aberrant epigenetic alterations play a pivotal role in several diseases, including osteoarthritis. However, epigenetic alternations, including DNA methylation, in IVD degeneration have not been evaluated. The purpose of this study was to comprehensively compare the genome-wide DNA methylation profiles of human IVD tissues, specifically nucleus pulpous (NP) tissues, with early and advanced stages of disc degeneration. We conducted, for the first time, a genome-wide DNA methylation profile comparative study and observed significant differences in DNA methylation profiles between early and advanced stages of human IVD degeneration. The overview of the DNA methylation profile in the current study revealed that differentially methylated loci were identified in many genes associated with known molecules that have been reported to be relevant to IVD degeneration. Importantly, changes in DNA methylation profiles were also found in genes that regulate the major signaling pathways, such as NF-κB, MAPK, and Wnt signaling, that are well known to be responsible for the pathogenesis of human disc degeneration.

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.

Nucleus pulposus related lncRNA and mRNA expression profiles in intervertebral disc degeneration

Project description:Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) leads to low back pain and disability globally. The pathophysiology of IDD is not entirely understood. There is increasing evidence that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play a key regulatory role in a wide range of biological processes. The purpose of this study was to comprehensively lncRNA and mRNA expression profiles of human intervertebral disc (IVD) tissues, specifically nucleus pulpous (NP) tissues, with early and advanced stages of disc degeneration. The overview of lncRNA and mRNA expression profiles in the current study revealed that differentially expressed lncRNAs and mRNAs were identified that have been reported to be relevant to IDD. Importantly, differentially expressed lncRNAs and mRNAs that regulate the major signaling pathways, such as NF-κB, MAPK, and Wnt signaling, that are well known to be responsible for the pathogenesis of IDD.

Single Cell RNA-Sequence Analyses Reveal Uniquely Expressed Genes and Heterogeneous Immune Cell Involvement in the Rat Model of Intervertebral Disc Degeneration

Project description:Purpose: We used single-cell RNA-sequencing analysis of degenerating tissues of the rat IVD following lumbar disc puncture Methods: Two control, uninjured IVDs (L2-3, L3-4) and two degenerated, injured IVDs (L4-5, L5-6) from each animal were examined either at the two- or eight-week post-operative time points. The cells from these IVDs were extracted and transcriptionally profiled at the single-cell resolution Results: Unsupervised cluster analysis revealed the presence of four known cell types in both non-degenerative and degenerated IVDs based on previously established gene markers: IVD cells, endothelial cells, myeloid cells, and lymphoid cells. As a majority of cells were associated with the IVD cell cluster, sub-clustering was used to further identify the cell populations of the nucleus pulposus, inner and outer annulus fibrosus Conclusions: . Differential gene expression analysis revealed multiple distinct cell types from the myeloid and lymphoid lineages, most notably macrophages and B lymphocytes, and demonstrated a high degree of immune specificity during degeneration. In addition to the heterogenous infiltrating immune cell populations in the degenerating IVD, the increased number of cells in the AF sub-cluster expressing Ngf and Ngfr, encoding for p75NTR, suggest that NGF signaling may be one of the key mediators of the IVD crosstalk between immune and neuronal cell populations

Matrisome remodelling during Intervertebral Disc development and ageing

Project description:Intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration 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. The changes that occur in the disc with age have been under investigation. However, a thorough study of ECM remodelling is needed, to better understand IVD development and age-associated degeneration. As so, iTRAQ LC-MS/MS analysis of foetus, young and old bovine NPs, was used to define the NP matrisome. The enrichment of Collagen XII and XIV in foetus, Fibronectin and Prolargin in elder samples and Collagen XI in young ones was independently validated. This study provides the first matrisome database of healthy discs during development and ageing, which is key to determine the pathways and processes that maintain disc homeostasis. The factors identified may help to explain age-associated IVD degeneration or constitute putative effectors for disc regeneration.

Proteomic Signature of Nucleus Pulposus of Human Intervertebral Disc

Project description:Intervertebral Disc (IVD) degeneration leading to Low back pain (LBP) is the most common musculoskeletal disorder. Lack of knowledge on the intricate homeostatic mechanisms necessitates proteomic characterisation of a normal human IVD to understand the biological process and unravel the pathomechanisms of degenerative disc disease (DDD). In this study, we employed proteomic approach coupled with tandem mass-spectrometry to derive the comprehensive list of proteins expressed in true biologically normal control discs. This would serve as the basis for identifying the interacting molecules participating in significant biological processes and pathways disrupted during aging and degeneration.

bulk RNA-seq of human nucleusus pulposus from disc-degenerated patients

Project description:Failure of the nucleus pulposus (NP) causes intervertebral disc (IVD) disease and associated low-back pain, which are highly prevalent among the aged populations. Molecular and cellular changes underpinning the structural failures in age-associated IVD diseases (IDDs) remain poorly elucidated. Here, we first identified that TAGLN, which encodes the cytoskeleton regulator transgelin, was transcribed in healthy NPs of both human and mouse, but diminished with ageing. Immunostaining showed that TAGLN were expressed on the peripheral of mouse NP (periNP). Lineage analyses in Tagln-CreERT2 mice showed that NP cells were derived from Tagln+ cells in the periNP. The PeriNP cells were proliferative and can differentiate into the inner NP (innerNP). These Tagln+ cells and their descendants diminish with ageing or puncture-induced degeneration. Single-cell transcriptomics from neonatal and adult Tagln-CreERT2 IVDs confirmed that Tagln descendants uniquely populate the NP, wherein four sub-populations were identified: chondrocyte-like, Cd228+, Tagln+ and Car3+. Immunostaining confirmed Car3 expressed in innerNP. Computational analysis indicated the lineage trajectory from Tagln+ to Car3+ sub-population, along with the involvement of Fos/Jun/TGFβ cascades and partial epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition process. Removal of TGFβ mediator Smad4 by notochord specific Foxa2mNE-Cre resulted in decreased Tagln+ cells and abnormal disc morphology, resembling disc degeneration. Our study generates a single-cell transcriptomic atlas for healthy IVD, identifies Tagln+ PeriNP cells as a progenitor pool crucial for the IVD homeostasis, and provides potential targets for regenerative cell therapy against IVD degeneration.

stseranidou2024 - Nucleus Pulposus Cell Network Modelling in the Intervertebral Disc

Project description:ABSTRACT: Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) arises from an intricate imbalance between the anabolic and catabolic processes governing the extracellular matrix (ECM) within the disc. Biochemical processes are complex, redundant and feedback-looped, and improved integration of knowledge is needed. To addess this, a literature-based regulatory network model (RNM) for nucleus pulposus cells (NPC) is proposed, representing the normal state of the intervertebral disc (IVD), in which proteins are represented by nodes that interact among each other through activation and/or inhibition edges. This model includes 32 different proteins and 150 edges by incorporating critical biochemical interactions in IVD regulation, tested in vivo or vitro in humans’ and animals’ NPC, alongside non tissue specific protein-protein interactions. We used the network to calculate the dynamic regulation of each node through a semi-quantitative method. The basal steady state successfully represented the activity of a normal NPC, and the model was assessed through the published literature, by replicating two independent experimental studies in human normal NPC. Pro-catabolic or pro-anabolic shifts of the network activated by nodal perturbations could be predicted. Sensitivity analysis underscores the significant influence of transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) and interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra) on the regulation of structural proteins and degrading enzymes within the system. Given the ongoing challenge of elucidating the mechanisms driving ECM degradation in IDD, this unique IVD RNM holds promise as a tool for exploring and predicting IDD progression, shedding light on IVD phenotypes and guiding experimental research efforts.

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 sequencing reveals a shift in cell function and maturation of endogenous and infiltrating cell types in response to acute intervertebral disc injury

Project description:The intervertebral disc (IVD) is a spinal joint that accumulates damage with age but has limited tissue repair capabilities. IVD damage progresses into degeneration, and IVD degeneration is a leading cause of lower back pain. There are no effective therapies to treat IVD degeneration, but understanding the cell populations that change and respond to injury will uncover targets to restore IVD function. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are cells within the IVD that can potentially replenish the cells lost after IVD damage. To identify the cell populations of the IVD and how they change with injury, we performed single cell RNA sequencing of IVD tissue 7 days post injury and analyzed the differences in gene regulation. We identified diverse cells populations such as IVD specific tissues, immune cells, vascular cells, and MSCs. We discovered the presence of Saa2 and Grem1 expressing MSCs that become less stem cell-like and express higher levels of IVD gene markers after injury. We also determined that Saa2 and Grem1 have slightly different expression patterns in IVD tissues, and this expression becomes reduced after injury. These MSCs could be used in future stem cell therapies to prevent IVD degeneration.
