Popis: | The aim of this study was to gain information relevant to disc repair processes. Limited degradation of the collagen matrix by matrix metalloproteases (MMPs) may facilitate the loosening of cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions within the injured intervertebral disc (IVD) to favour the penetration of blood vessels and migration of fibroblasts into the defect to promote repair processes. Gelatinase A (MMP-2) has a particularly important role to play in angiogenesis, in the present study we investigated the in vitro regulation of MMP-2 by Transforming Growth Factor-beta 1 (TGF-beta 1) and Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 (beta IGF-I) in cells from the nucleus pulposus (NP) of the ovine IVD. Ovine NP cells were grown in alginate bead cultures in complete medium (10% foetal calf serum) for 7 days, established in serum-free conditions for 24 h, then stimulated with TGF-beta 1 (0.1 or 10 ng/ml) or IGF-I (2 or 50 ng/ml) +/-Concanavalin A (20 microg/ml) for an additional 48 h. Conditioned medium was examined for matrix metalloproteases using gelatin zymography, Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinase 2 (TIMP-2) and Membrane Type 1 Matrix Metalloproteinase (MT1-MMP) were immunolocalised in beads. Pro (72 kDa) and active (59 kDa) MMP-2 were the major gelatinolytic MMPs detected in control cultures, the TGF-beta 1 and IGF-I treatments significantly decreased levels of the active MMP-2, inclusion of Concanavalin A resulted in a complete reversal of this trend with IGF-I, and to a lesser extent with TGF-beta 1. Cell surface levels of TIMP-2 and MT1-MMP were decreased by the TGF-beta 1 treatment while IGF-I only appeared to decrease TIMP-2 expression. The findings of this study provide some insight as to why dense avascular connective tissues such as the intervertebral disc have such a poor healing potential. |
