Intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration, a major cause of low back pain, is considered to be induced by daily mechanical loading. Mechanical stress is widely known to affect cell survival and extracellular matrix metabolism in many cell types. Although the involvement of integrin α5β1 transmembrane mechanoreceptor in IVD degeneration has been reported, the precise function of integrin α5β1 remains obscure. To reflect IVD tissue response to mechanical stress using a dynamic loading organ culture system and elucidate the functional impact of integrin α5β1 on the pathomechanism of IVD degeneration. An ex vivo study using a dynamic loading organ culture system. Ninety-six rat IVD explants were examined. Intervertebral discs were subjected to 1.3 MPa, 1.0 Hz dynamic compressive load in the presence or absence of an Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) peptide with affinity to the fibronectin binding-site of integrin α5β1. Cell viability and histomorphology were assessed. The localization of integrin α5β1 in the IVD was assessed by immunohistochemistry. Gene expression levels of IVD cells were evaluated using real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. In the nucleus pulposus (NP), cell density and viability were reduced by dynamic compressive load. Histologic degenerative alterations, mainly seen in the NP, were the morphologic changes of NP cells. In both NP and annulus fibrosus (AF), immunohistochemistry revealed localization of integrin α5β1 and that the messenger-RNA expression of integrin α5β1 was increased by dynamic load. Dynamic load induced a catabolic effect, the stimulation of matrix metalloproteinase-3 and -13 gene expressions by NP and AF cells. The RGD peptide partially blocked the histologic alterations and the catabolic effect. The dynamic loading organ culture system simulated cellular responses to mechanical loading of the IVD. Our results suggest that IVD cells recognize the mechanical stress through RGD integrins, particularly the α5β1 subtype that is highly expressed in NP and AF cells. Further experiments using this system will provide information about pathomechanisms of IVD degeneration through the mechanotransduction pathways.
