Abstract

The present invention relates to administering autologous uncultured cells into a diseased intervertebral disc.

Description

With cell the intervertebral disc of regression is carried out self-treating
Related application
The present invention is the U.S. Patent application No.10/714 that is filed on November 14th, 2003,594 continuation application, and U.S. Patent application No.10/714, the 594th, be filed in the U.S. Patent application No.10/714 on November 13rd, 2003,559 part continuation application.Whole instructions of above-mentioned application are merged in this paper by reference.
Background of invention
Natural disc contains the vertebral pulp (nucleus pulposus) of colloidal substance, and it is on every side around fibrous fibrous ring (annulus fibrosus).Under axial load, vertebral pulp is compressed, and should load and radioactively transfer on the fibrous ring.The laminated essence of fibrous ring has been given hot strength of its height, and therefore makes its load that can respond to transfer be radial expansion.
In the intervertebral disc of health, the cell in the vertebral pulp only accounts for one of about percentage of disc tissue by volume.These cells produce extracellular matrix (ECM), wherein contain the Dan Baijutang (proteoglycan) of high percentage ratio.These Dan Baijutang contain in order to keep the sulphation functional group of water, and therefore the performance of damping can be provided to vertebral pulp.Nucleus pulposus cell also can be secreted the small amounts of cells factor and matrix metalloproteinase (MMPs).These cytokines and MMPs can assist the metabolism of regulation and control nucleus pulposus cell.
(disc degeneration disease, under some situation DDD), the regression gradually of intervertebral disc is that the mechanical instability by the spine other parts causes in the intervertebral disc degeneration disease.In these cases, load that vertebral pulp is increased and pressure make cell (or the macrophage of invading) the above-mentioned cytokine that the release ratio normal amount is bigger in the intervertebral disc.Under other situation of DDD, genetic factor or apoptosis also can cause the reduction of intervertebral disc cells quantity and/or these cytokines and MMP to reach the release of toxicity quantity.In some cases, the pumping action of intervertebral disc may break down (because, for example, the reduction of Dan Baijutang concentration in the vertebral pulp), hindered nutrient substance thus and flowed into intervertebral disc, and refuse flows out intervertebral disc.Ability reduction to cell provides nutrient substance and removes refuse may cause cell viability and metabolism to reduce, and this can cause the further regression of ECM, and the accumulation of high-caliber toxin, may cause nerve stimulation and pain.
Along with the development of DDD, the cytokine and the MMPs of the toxic level that exists in the vertebral pulp begin the ECM that degrades.Particularly, the part that is used to keep water of MMPs (being subjected to the regulation and control of cytokine) beginning scinderin polysaccharide reduces its water hold facility thus.This degraded causes the vertebral pulp pliability to reduce, and therefore can change the situation that the intervertebral disc internal loading distributes, thereby may cause the layering of fibrous ring.These variations have caused more serious mechanical instability, make cell discharge thus even more cytokine, typically, thereby MMPs just caused regulate.Along with the continuation of this destructive cascade and further developing of DDD, intervertebral disc begins projection (" outstanding intervertebral disc (a herniated disc) "), and finally breaks, and causes vertebral pulp to contact with spinal cord, produces pain.
U.S. Patent No. 6,352,557 (" Ferree ") have instructed following method: will treat and use material, for example, nucleus pulposus cell joins from granular (morselized) extracellular matrix that donor obtains, and this combination is expelled in the intervertebral disc.But beginning cell most need be cultivated, and joins in the donor substrate before implanting ill intervertebral disc again.This method can allow sufferer experience independent handling procedure twice, also can postpone the treatment to sufferer.The first road program is a harvesting, and it needs to be cultivated then.After the cultivation, cell is implanted in the patient again.
U.S. Patent No. 6,340,369 (" Ferree II ") have instructed following method: obtain intervertebral disc cells alive in patient, cultivate these cells, they are transplanted in the affected intervertebral disc again.Ferree II further instructs, and these cells can make up with II Collagen Type VI-mucopolysaccharide matrix or type i collagen-mucopolysaccharide matrix, and this depends on that cell harvesting is from vertebral pulp (NP) or fibrous ring (AF).Ferree II also proposes, and before transplanting, one or more treatments is joined in the cell with material.As the substituting source of cell, Ferree proposes to use NP or AF cell precursors cell, chondrocyte or other living cells, they and NP or similar NP or the AF cell of maybe can being divided into of AF cell function.In a word, to cultivate the cell of results before Ferree is taught in and transplants.
