Results

2016

Wang et al. [81]

Human WJMSCs

WJMSCs genes expression pattern is similar to ADMSCs, inflammatory stimulation can regulate genes expression

2018

Beeravolu et al. [82]

Induce human WJMSCs differentiating into CPCs

Cell structure change, glycosaminoglycan content and ECM↑

2019

Qi et al. [83]

Human WJMSCs

Activate MAPK signaling pathway, promote B-cell lymphoma-2 expression and inhibit Bax expression, ECM↑and ECM degradation ↓, COL II and proteoglycan content↑, regulate mitosis and apoptosis

2020

Zhao et al. [84]

Human WJMSCs + human NP cells

Reverse the apoptotic ratio of NP cells, block Wnt/β-catenin pathway to inhibit Wnt-related genes expression

2013

Barreto et al. [85]

Rabbit NPSCs

NPSCs migrate along the fibers and cells in IVD

2016

Wang et al. [86]

BMSCs/NPSCs/AFSCs/CESCs

CESCs are stronger in osteogenesis and chondrogenesis than the other three

2017

Huang et al. [87]

NPSCs

Hypoxia can promote NPSCs proliferation related to HIF-1α signaling pathway, Simvastatin can promote NPSCs transfer into NP cells

2018

He et al. [88]

Human CESCs

Promote CEPs repair, promote NP cells proliferation

2015

Liu et al. [89]

Human IPSCs + pig NP cell ECM

NP cells secret regulatory factors, mediate the differentiation of IPSCs into NP cells

2020

Hu et al. [90]

GDF-5 transfected human IPSCs + rat NP cells

Chondrocyte markers genes expression↑
