Abstract:
BACKGROUND:Tissue-engineered intervertebral disc has provided a new biological therapeutic approach for intervertebral disc degeneration. Tissue-engineered annulus fibrosus is one key step of constructing a complete tissue-engineered intervertebral disc. OBJECTIVE:To sum up the research progress of tissue-engineered annulus fibrosus from the folowing aspects: structural features, scaffold materials, seed cels. METHODS:PubMed database and Wanfang database (2000-2015) were retrieved by the key words of “tissue engineering, intervertebral disc, annulus fibrosus, seed cel, scaffold, construction” in Chinese and in English, respectively. According to inclusion and exclusion criteria, 48 literatures were involved for summarization. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Previous studies about tissue-engineered annulus fibrosus only focused on cel adhesion, proliferation and extracelular matrix secretion on the scaffold. Currently, tissue-engineered annulus fibrosus exhibit similar features to the natural annulus fibrosus in the folowing aspects: cel function, tissue structure and mechanical features, and relevant animal experiments have achieved certain results in animal experiments. However, it is stil difficult to build a tissue-engineered annulus fibrosus entirely similar to the natural one, and we need to further improve scaffold materials, culture conditions, colection of seed cels. The current strategies of annulus fibrosus construction stil focus on single phase of scaffold, and the biphasic scaffold and complete intervertebral disc scaffold wil be the trend of the researches. Technology of induced differentiation of stem cels provides a broach source of seed cels for tissue-engineered annulus fibrosus.
