Abstract:

BACKGROUND: With the development of tissue engineering, the repair and regeneration of disc becomes possible. Decellularized extracellular matrix is an important means for disc regeneration.

OBJECTIVE: To review and summarize the processing, quality control and application of decellularized matrix materials applied in intervertebral disc regeneration in recent years and put forward the prospect.

METHODS: PubMed, Web of Science and CNKI databases were searched for the articles concerning decellularized methods and decellularized matrix repairing intervertebral disc with the search terms of “intervertebral disc, decellularization, extracellular matrix, scaffold material, tissue engineering” in English and Chinese, respectively. After screening based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria, the articles with high relevance were included for review.

RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The decellularized tissue-engineered intervertebral disc aims to maintain the physiologically relevant bioactivators to a great extent, improve mechanical properties and biocompatibility, and reduce immunogenicity. The decellularized matrix material can simulate the microenvironment of the extracellular matrix in the intervertebral disc. As a cell carrier, it can well induce the differentiation of seed cells, which has achieved certain progress in the repair of intervertebral discs. However, further studies need to address the following issues: proper porosity of decellularized matrix materials, immunological rejection, implant ways in vivo and repair effect.

Key words: intervertebral disc degeneration, decellularization, extracellular matrix, scaffold, annulus fibrosus, nucleus pulposus, seed cells, tissue engineering
