Injectable ECM-mimetic dynamic hydrogels abolish ferroptosis-induced post-discectomy herniation through in-situ delivery of nucleus pulposus progenitor cell-derived exosomes [RNA-Seq]

ABSTRACT: The discectomy-induced ferroptosis stress on nucleus pulposus cells (NPCs) is a major cause for postoperative lumbar disc herniation (LDH) recurrence and intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD). Surprisingly, we discovered that nucleus pulposus progenitor cells (NPPCs) could transmit their ferroptosis-resistant phenotype to recipient NPCs through exosome-dependent cell-cell communication while identifying miR-221-3p as the primary anti-ferroptosis effector molecule therein. Based on these findings, we first developed a synthetically-tailored NPPC-derived exosomes with enhanced miR-221-3p expression and NPC uptake capacity through molecular and cellular engineering, which were then integrated into an injectable hydrogel based on extracellular matrix (ECM) analogues. The ECM-mimetic hydrogel (HACS) serves as a biomimetic filler for the post-operative care of herniated discs, which could be facilely injected into the discectomy-established nucleus pulposus (NP) cavity for localized treatment. HACS-mediated in-situ exosome release in the NP cavity enabled marked ferroptosis inhibition in NPCs that not only prevented LDH recurrence but also reversed the IDD symptoms, leading to robust restoration of NP structure and functions. This study offers a promising approach for the treatment of herniated discs with translational potential.

Injectable ECM-mimetic dynamic hydrogels abolish ferroptosis-induced post-discectomy herniation through in-situ delivery of nucleus pulposus progenitor cell-derived exosomes [miRNA-Seq]

Revisiting the microRNA expression profiling of human intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD)

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.

The expression profiling of circular RNAs (circRNA) in human intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD)

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.

Discovery and application of postnatal nucleus pulposus progenitors essential for intervertebral disc homeostasis and degeneration.

Project description:Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) results from dysfunction of nucleus pulposus cells (NPs) and exhaustion of NP progenitors (ProNPs). Cellular applications of NPs during IDD are currently limited by lack of in vivo studies showing whether NPs are heterogenous and contain ProNPs throughout postnatal stages. Here, using single-cell RNA sequencing of purified NPs, we mapped four molecularly defined populations and identified Urotensin II receptor (UTS2R)-expressing postnatal ProNPs, which markedly exhausted during IDD, in mouse and human specimens. Lineage tracing showed that UTS2R+ ProNPs preferentially reside in the NP periphery with its niche factor-Tenascin-C and give rise to functional NPs. We also demonstrate that transplanting UTS2R+ ProNPs with Tenascin-C to injured intervertebral discs attenuates the progression of IDD. Our findings provide a novel NP cell atlas, identify resident ProNPs with regenerative potential and reveal promising diagnostic and therapeutic targets for IDD.

bulk RNA-seq of human nucleusus pulposus cell differentiations from embryonic stem cells and iPSCs

Project description:Progressive loss of nucleus pulposus cells (NPCs) is associated with the onset of intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD). Transplantation of NPCs, derived from human pluripotent stem cells including hESC/iPSCs, may offer a novel therapy for IDD. To date, effective in vitro differentiations of notochordal and NP cells remained to be demonstrated. Towards this end, we developed a three-step protocol to directly differentiate hESC/iPSC towards mesodermal, then notochordal and finally NPCs. Our results showed that notochordal-like cells (NCCs) were successfully derived from the first two-steps of the protocol. Furthermore, these cells could be differentiated into NPCs. These NPCs expressed the tyrosine kinase receptor Tie2 (Tie2), disialoganglioside 2 (GD2), collagen II and aggrecan. Genome-wide transcriptomic analyses by sequencing (RNA-seq) revealed the expression of a wide array of known NP markers, extracellular matrix (ECM) genes, up-stream regulators and pathways. Cross-comparison of in vitro RNA-seq profiles with in vivo human NP data confirmed the in vitro NPCs are significantly more similar to in vivo NP than hESC/iPSCs. Transplantation of NPCs effectively attenuated disc injury in a rat model of IDD. We utilized CRISPR/Cas9 to seamlessly knock in an enhanced green fluorescent protein (eGFP) to the loci of the Noto gene in ESCs for NCC generation. Our study achieved effective notochordal differentiation and provided transcriptomic insights into the use of human ESC/iPSCs.

HO1 activates autophagy to protect intervertebral disc degeneration

Project description:Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) is majorly resulted from disordered extracellular matrix (ECM) metabolism, including decreased anabolism and increased catabolism activities in the nucleus pulposus (NP) cells of discs. Pro-inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin-1β (IL-1β) are considered to be potent mediators of ECM loss. We reported previously that hemeoxygenase-1 (HO-1) inducer cobalt protoporphyrin IX (CoPP) could attenuate the ECM breakdown which induced by IL-1β, however, the underlying mechanism remains elusive. Here we found that autophagy family genes were involved in the HO-1 mediated anti-inflammatory processes in human NP cells by using high throughput RNA-Seq technique. These findings suggest that autophagy might play a role in inflammation related ECM metabolism disorder, thus offering a direction of our in-depth study and providing a framework for the searching of potential therapeutic targets in the treatment of IDD

Transcriptomics study reveals the underlying molecular mechanisms of circadian gene Bmal1 in rat nucleus pulposus cells

Project description:Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) is a major cause of low back pain (LBP), and the pathogenesis remains unknown. Recently, an autoregulating circadian rhythm was identiﬁed in intervertebral discs (IVDs), the abolition of which led to IDD. The genetic disruption of the mouse IVD molecular clock, speciﬁcally through the disruption of Bmal1, predisposes mice to IDD. However, the precise role of circadian gene Bmal1 in IDD remain elusive. In this study, RNA-seq was used to determine differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in rat nucleus pulposus cells (NPCs) treated with Bmal1 shRNA or its negative control lentivirus. GO and KEGG pathway analysis were also performed. In general, 6900 DEGs was identified. The anabolic genes, such as col2a1 and acan, showed significantly decreased expression, whereas catabolic genes, such as MMP-3 and MMP-13, showed significantly upregulated expression. GO analysis was performed to annotate the functions of the DEGs. The DEGs were primarily associated with the processes of cell transcription, behaviour, signal transduction, biological regulation, and protein binding. KEGG pathway analysis revealed that Bmal1 was related to multiple signalling pathways, such as p53, Hedgehog, Wnt, PI3K-Akt, mTOR, Hippo and MAPK. This study, for the first time, analyzes the transcriptome of NPCs in response to Bmal1 diminished, indicating that circadian gene Bmal1 is involved in the establishment and progression of IDD through its wide effects on the viability and function of NPCs.
