Abstract:
STUDY DESIGN:In vivo animal study. OBJECTIVES:To describe a new porcine disc degeneration model, and to analyze disc remodeling and degeneration after nucleotomy with special view to the different nucleus pulposus (NP) cell types. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA:Thus far, predominantly smaller animals were used for disc degeneration models; however, such small discs were inappropriate to investigate cell implementation therapies. Though notochordal cells (NCs) are important for disc formation and maintenance, differences in the amount of NCs between human and animal discs have often been neglected. METHODS:Twenty-four Goettingen minipigs underwent partial nucleotomy with a 16G biopsy cannula, to remove approximately 10% of total NP volume. Animals were followed up for 3, or 24 weeks and analyzed by radiographs, MRIs, (immuno)histology, gene expression analysis, and biomechanical testing. RESULTS:Three weeks after nucleotomy disc height was reduced by 26%, and magnetic resonance imaging signal intensity by 40%. At 24 weeks disc height was decreased by 32%. Increased degenerative changes were found in a histodegeneration score 3 and 24 weeks after nucleotomy, as well as considerable NP scarification after 3 weeks. In controls, cytokeratin-8 immunohistochemistry identified NCs in proximity to chondrocyte-like NP cells at approximately equal ratio. After nucleotomy, NCs were considerably reduced to <10% of total NP cells. Matrix genes were upregulated, except for aggrecan that decreased to 35% of initial values 3 weeks after nucleotomy. Matrix degrading factors (matrix metalloproteinases 13 and 3) were continuously upregulated, whereas transcripts of their inhibitors (tissue inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinase 2 and 3) were downregulated. No significant changes in segmental spinal flexibility or bone density were found after nucleotomy. CONCLUSION:We introduced a new disc degeneration model with relatively large discs that could be used for cell therapeutic approaches. The study gives further information about disc remodeling after nucleotomy and indicates the relevance of an altered cellular composition for the development of disc degeneration.
