Polydatin suppresses nucleus pulposus cell senescence, promotes matrix homeostasis and attenuates intervertebral disc degeneration in rats.
    Journal of cellular and molecular medicine, 2018, Volume: 22, Issue:11

    Intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) is one of the major causes of low back pain. Polydatin (PD) has been shown to exert multiple pharmacological effects on different diseases; here, we test the therapeutic potential of PD for IVDD. In in-vitro experiments, we confirmed PD is nontoxic to nucleus pulposus cells (NPCs) under the concentration of 400 μmol/L. Furthermore, PD was able to decrease the level of senescence in TNF-α-treated NPCs, as indicated by β-gal staining as well as senescence markers p53 and p16 expression. In the aspect of extracellular matrix (ECM), PD not only reduced metalloproteinase 3 (MMP-3), metalloproteinase 13 (MMP-13) and a disintegrin-like and metalloproteinase thrombospondin type 1 motif 4 (ADAMTS-4) expression, but also increased aggrecan and collagen II levels. Mitochondrion is closely related to cellular senescence and ECM homeostasis; mechanistically, we found PD may rescue TNF-α-induced mitochondrial dysfunction, and it may also promote Nrf2 expression and activity. Silencing Nrf2 partly abolished the protective effects of PD on mitochondrial homeostasis, senescence and ECM homeostasis in TNF-α-treated NPCs. Correspondingly, PD ameliorated IVDD in rat model by promoting Nrf2 activity, preserving ECM and inhibiting senescence in nucleus pulposus cells. To sum up, our study suggests that PD exerts protective effects in NPCs against IVDD and reveals the underlying mechanism of PD on Nrf2 activation in NPCs.

Resveratrol protects against mitochondrial dysfunction through autophagy activation in human nucleus pulposus cells.
    Biochemical and biophysical research communications, 2017, 11-04, Volume: 493, Issue:1

    Intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) is closely related with aging, whereas mitochondrial damage is a common feature of aging that results in cell apoptosis. Resveratrol (RES) is a natural antioxidant that protects against mitochondrial dysfunction in various cells. This study aimed to investigate the protective role of RES against mitochondrial dysfunction and human nucleus pulposus cell (NPC) apoptosis. We found that mitochondrial dysfunction and NPC apoptosis could be induced under oxidative stress by 100 μmol/l of H

Resveratrol has anabolic effects on disc degeneration in a rabbit model.
    Journal of Korean medical science, 2013, Volume: 28, Issue:6

    This study was done to evaluate whether injections of resveratrol, a natural compound found in the skin of grapes, had anabolic effects on degenerated intervertebral discs in a rabbit model. Two non-continuous lumbar discs were punctured in rabbits to induce disc degeneration. Four weeks and 6 weeks after puncture, the rabbits were treated by injections with dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) or resveratrol. At 4, 8, and 16 weeks after initial injection, rabbits were sacrificed and the spine was extracted for magnetic resonance image (MRI), mRNA expression, and histological staining. Resveratrol treatment resulted in stronger signal intensity in T2-weighted images. MRI grade showed significantly lower in the resveratrol group than the DMSO group (P = 0.039). In the resveratrol group, aggrecan gene expression was significantly increased than that in the DMSO group at 16 weeks after injection (P = 0.027). MMP-13 mRNA levels in the resveratrol group were significantly decreased than those in the DMSO group at 8 and 16 weeks (P = 0.006 and P = 0.048, respectively). In hematoxylin and eosin stain, resveratrol-treated discs showed the features of regeneration. Histologic grade revealed improvement in resveratrol-treated discs, compared with DMSO-treated discs (P = 0.024). These anabolic effects on degenerated discs indicate that resveratrol is a promising candidate for treatment of degenerative disc disease.

    To investigate the effects of in-vitro monolayer culture and three-dimensional (3-D) alginate microsphere culture on the differentiation of normal human nucleus pulposus cells (NPCs), and to discuss the regulatory mechanism of restoring the phenotype of dedifferentiated NPCs by culturing resveratrol (RES) in 3-D alginate microsphere.. Normal human nucleus pulposus tissues were harvested for culture and identification of NPCs from 6 patients with burst lumbar vertebra fracture. NPCs at passages 1, 3, 5, and 7 in the in-vitro monolayer culture were harvested to observe the morphology, cell aging, and proteoglycan expression. The cell proliferation rates of NPCs at passage 1 in-vitro in monolayer culture and in 3-D alginate microsphere culture were detected. NPCs at passage 7 were randomly divided into 3-D alginate microsphere control group (group A), RES group (group B), silent mating type information regulation 2 homolog 1 (SIRT1)- small interfering RNA (siRNA) + RES group (group C), and negative control-siRNA + RES group (group D); and NPCs in the in-vitro monolayer culture was monolayer control group (group E). After corresponding treatment, Western blot was used for determining the protein expressions of SIRT1, Aggrecan, and collagen type II; real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR was used for detecting SIRT1 mRNA expression.. The cultured cells were identified to be NPCs. Morphological observation, senescence-associated P-galactosidase (SA-P-gal) staining, and toluidine blue staining showed that dedifferentiation of normal NPCs tended to occur under continuous in-vitro monolayer culture, which was more obvious with increase of passage number. NPCs in 3-D alginate microsphere culture showed significantly lower proliferation rate than NPCs in the in-vitro monolayer culture (P < 0.05), but it could significantly improve the protein expressions of collagen type II and Aggrecan in dedifferentiated NPCs, showing significantly difference between groups E and A (P < 0.05). The protein expressions of SIRT1, collagen type II, and Aggrecan in group B were significantly improved when compared with that in group A (P < 0.05). Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR and Western blot showed that the expressions of SIRT1 mRNA and proteins in group C were significantly inhibited after transfected with SIRT1-siRNA when compared with those in groups B and D (P < 0.05), and the protein expressions of collagen type II and Aggrecan in group C were significantly lower than those in groups B and D (P < 0.05).. Continuous in-vitro monolayer culture could efficiently cultivate numerous seeding NPCs, but it is liable to dedifferentiate. In 3-D alginate microsphere culture, RES could restore the phenotype of dedifferentiated NPCs and synthesize more extracellular matrix, which is related to the regulation of SIRT1.

SIRT1 inhibits apoptosis of degenerative human disc nucleus pulposus cells through activation of Akt pathway.
    Age (Dordrecht, Netherlands), 2013, Volume: 35, Issue:5

    Many studies have demonstrated that SIRT1, an NAD(+)-dependent deacetylase, reduces apoptosis in several different cells. However, the role of SIRT1 in apoptosis of disc nucleus pulposus (NP) cells remains unclear. The present study was performed to determine whether degenerative human NP would express SIRT1, and to investigate the role of SIRT1 in NP cells apoptosis. The expression of SIRT1 in disc NP of patients (>55 years) with lumbar disc degenerative disease (DDD) and the disc NP of patients (<25 years) with lumbar vertebra fracture (LVF) was assessed by immunohistochemistry, reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction, and Western blot analysis. The results showed that SIRT1 mRNA and protein levels were greater in LVF disc NP than those in DDD disc NP. Degenerative human NP cells were treated in culture with activator or inhibitor of SIRT1, resveratrol or nicotinamide, or SIRT1 small interfering RNA (siRNA), and cell apoptosis was quantified via flow cytometry. The rate of apoptosis was far fewer in resveratrol-treated NP cells than in SIRT1 siRNA-transfected or nicotinamide-treated NP cells. After SIRT1 siRNA was transfected, NP cells decreased phosphorylation of Akt, while resveratrol phosphorylated Akt. Treatment with LY294002 or Akt siRNA increased the rate of apoptosis. Our results suggested that SIRT1 plays a critical role in survival of degenerative human NP cells through the Akt anti-apoptotic signaling pathway.
