Definitions

  • This invention relates generally to the treatment of diseased or traumatized intervertebral discs, and more particularly, to the use of engineered disc tissues and endplate materials in conjunction with such treatment.
  • Intervertebral discs provide mobility and a cushion between the vertebrae.
  • the nucleus pulposus which, in the adult human, is composed of cells and an insoluble extracellular matrix which is produced by the nucleus itself.
  • the extracellular matrix is composed of collagen, proteoglycans, water, and noncollagenous proteins.
  • the cells of the nucleus pulposus have chondrocyte-like features. Blood vessels do not course into the nucleus pulposus. Rather, the cells of the nucleus pulposus of the adult human obtain nutrients and eliminate waste by diffusion through blood vessels in the endplates of the vertebrae adjacent to the disc.
  • the nucleus pulposus is surrounded by the annulus fibrosis, which is composed of cells (fibrocyte-like and chondrocyte-like), collagen fibers, and non-fibrillar extracellular matrix.
  • the components of the annulus are arranged in 15-25 lamellae around the nucleus pulposus.
  • Prosthetic disc devices replace nucleus pulposus and/or annulus fibrosis function.
  • nucleus replacing devices rely on the patient's annulus fibrosis to retain the device and perform annulus functions. Unfortunately, injuries to the annulus often accompany nucleus degeneration or trauma. In addition, the degenerated annulus fibrosis may produce pain in patients with nucleus replacement.
  • Total disc replacements rely on attachment of the prosthetic disc to the vertebral endplates. Various methods of attachment have been described including the use of screws, spikes, and porous ingrowth material. The total disc/vertebral interface can loosen. The problems with prosthesis loosening and the revision surgery of the same are well known in prosthetic knee and hip surgery.
  • This invention resides in a method of treating a diseased or traumatized intervertebral disc located between adjacent vertebrae.
  • a disc unit is harvested from a recently deceased human or animal donor.
  • this donor disc unit preferably includes not only an intervertebral disc having an extracellular matrix, but also a portion of the vertebrae on either side of the disc, including the endplates.
  • An affected disc is surgically removing from a patient, including the vertebral endplates and a portion of the vertebra on either side of the disc, thereby creating a void to be filled, and the donor disc unit is positioned within the surgically created void.
  • the spine may be temporarily locally immobilized following placement of the donor disc unit into the surgically created void.
  • the donor disc unit is processed to kills living cells therewithin, while preserve the extracellular matrix.
  • Nucleus pulposus and/or annulus fibrosis cells are harvested from a healthy intervertebral disc, cultured and transplanted into the donor disc unit. Precursors, or cells which differentiate into cells which provide nucleus pulposus and/or annulus fibrosis cell function may alternatively be used. The harvested cells are preferably kept viable until placed into the disc unit.
  • the method of the invention may further include the step of adding one or more therapeutic substances to the donor disc unit, the transplanted cells, or both prior to transplantation. Such therapeutic substances could include culture media, growth factors, differentiation factors, hydrogels, polymers, antibiotics, anti-inflammatory medications, immunosuppressive medications, or any useful combination thereof.
  • a donor disc unit comprising an intervertebral disc and a portion of adjacent vertebrae, is obtained from a recently deceased human or animal donor, and used to restore disc function and eliminate pain in patients with degenerative disc disease.
  • Autograft nucleus pulposus cells and annulus fibrosis cells are harvested from one or more healthy discs of a patient, preferably the same patient suffering from the disc disease, though any appropriate alternative source may be used, including fetal tissue or human sources, preferably having a familial relationship to minimize or avoid the need for immunosuppressive substances.
  • the harvested cells are cultured then added to nucleus pulposus and annulus fibrosis extracellular matrix, preferably obtained from recently deceased humans or animals, and added to the donor disc unit.
  • the donor disc unit preferably includes a portion of vertebra on either side of the disc.
  • Guidelines for tissue procurement including surgical technique of removal, number of hours between death of the donor and tissue procurement, and testing of the donor for infectious disease, are well described in open literature.
  • tissue is processed to kill the living cells, though care is taken to preserve the extracellular matrix.
  • Guidelines for processing the harvested disc as described are also well known to those skilled in the art. For example, such tissue may be frozen and thawed.
  • the disc being replaced including the vertebral endplates and a portion of the vertebra on either side of the disc are removed from the affected patient. Surgical techniques to remove the disc and a portion of the vertebrae are well known to spine surgeons.
  • the donor disc unit is then placed into the surgically created defect.
  • the replacement disc could be held in position with screws, plates, and/or rods attached between the donor bone and the host vertebrae.
  • the plates or other rigid method of fixation may temporarily extend across the disc, such devices must ultimately removed, or not used at all, or else disc function would not be preserved.
  • synthetic or natural fibers are employed to extend across the disc space and attach to the host vertebrae. Appropriate fibers allow vertebral motion while helping to hold the grafted disc replacement in position.
  • pedicle screws and rods or plates may be used.
  • the screws may be placed percutanously to allow easy removal after the vertebrae have healed.
  • bio-resorbable screws may be used. Growth of the host vertebrae to the donor vertebrae may also be encouraged using growth factors such as bone morphogenetic proteins.
  • Cultured disc cells are added to the donor disc unit a few weeks or months following its transplantation.
  • living disc cells are harvested from a normal disc of the patient with the degenerative disc disease.
  • the living disc cells from the nucleus pulposus and annulus fibrosis are added to the donor nucleus and annulus respectively.
  • the delayed insertion of the cells would allow vascularization of the donor vertebrae prior to cell insertion. Vertebrae vascularization is important for diffusion to and from the transplanted disc cells.
  • the cultured disc cells could be added to the donor disc before transplantation or at the time of transplantation. Culture media could be added to the disc with the transplanted cells.
  • Autologous nucleus pulposus chondrocyte- like cells may be obtained by aspiration or biopsy of healthy discs of the patient.
  • the harvested nucleus pulposus cells are isolated and cultured using standard techniques.
  • the harvested sterile nucleus pulposus is morselized and washed with phosphate buffered saline.
  • the cells are released from the extracellular matrix with 0.2% clostridial collagenase (Worthington CLS II, 140u/mg) and agitated. See
  • the filtered solution is then centrifuged at 1800 rpm to remove the cells.
  • the supernatant above the cells is removed with a micropipette until the cell concentration reaches 5.times.l0.sup.7 cells/cc.
  • the harvested cells are grown in Hamm's F-12 culture media, 10% fetal calf serum, L-glutamine (292.mu.g/cc), penicillin (lOOu/cc), streptomycin
  • Precursor cells of nucleus pulposus cells or annulus fibrosis cells, chondrocytes, or other living cells that could function like nucleus pulposus cells or annulus fibrosis cells or that could differentiate into cells to build a functional nucleus pulposus or annulus fibrosis could also be used.
  • the cultured cells are added to the donor disc through multiple small holes drilled through the annulus fibrosis into the nucleus pulposus.
  • resorbable culture medium tissue growth or differentiation factors (recombinant generated morphogenetic proteins, PDGF, TGF- ⁇ , EGF/TGF- ⁇ , IGF-I, ⁇ FGF), hydrogels, resorbable or nonresorbable synthetic or natural polymers (collagen, fibrin, polyglycolic acid, polylactic acid, polytetrafluoroethylene, etc.), antibiotics, anti-inflammatory medication, immunosuppressive medications, etc. may be beneficial.
