We investigated the effects of a fibrin-hyaluronic acid hydrogel (FBG-HA) and fibroblast growth factor 18 (FGF-18) for nucleus pulposus (NP) regeneration. Healthy bovine (n = 4) and human degenerated NP cells (n = 4) were cultured for 14 days in FBG-HA hydrogel with FGF-18 (∆51-mutant or wild-type) in the culture medium. Gene expression, DNA content, and glycosaminoglycan (GAG) synthesis were evaluated on day 7 and 14. Additionally, histology was performed. Human NP cells cultured in FBG-HA hydrogel showed an increase in collagen type II (COL2) and carbonic anhydrase XII (CA12) gene expression after 14 or 7 days of culture, respectively. GAG release into the conditioned medium increased over 14 days. Healthy bovine NP cells showed increased gene expression of ACAN from day 7 to day 14. Wild type FGF-18 up-regulated CA12 gene expression of human NP cells. Histology revealed an increase of proteoglycan deposition upon FGF-18 stimulation in bovine but not in human NP cells. The FBG-HA hydrogel had a positive modulatory effect on human degenerated NP cells. Under the tested conditions, no significant effect of FGF-18 was observed on cell proliferation or GAG synthesis in human NP cells.
