This study follows the rules of PRISMA and is registered in the Institutional Review Board of PROSPERO International of systematic reviews, numbered protocol code: CRD42020202465. Method:: The data search systematization was based on the words “mesenchymal stem cell” AND “immortalization.” The search period for publications was between 2000 and 2022, and the databases used were SCOPUS, PUBMED, and SCIENCE DIRECT. The search strategies identified 384 articles: 229 in the SCOPUS database, 84 in PUBMED, and 71 in SCIENCE DIRECT. After screening by titles and abstracts, 285 articles remained. This review included thirty-nine articles according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Result:: In 28 articles, MSCs were immortalized from humans and 11 animals. The most used immortalization methodology was viral transfection. The most common immortalized cell type was the MSC from bone marrow, and the most used gene for immortalizing human and animal MSCs was hTERT (39.3%) and SV40T (54.5%), respectively. Conclusion:: Also, it was observed that although less than half of the studies performed tumorigenicity assays to validate the immortalized MSCs, other assays, such as qRT-PCR, colony formation in soft agar, karyotype, FISH, and cell proliferation, were performed in most studies on distinct MSC cell passages.","PeriodicalId":10979,"journal":{"name":"Current stem cell research & therapy","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138540718","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

IDD is mostly associated with pain in the back and neck, which is referred to as a type of disability. Pharmacological and surgical interventions are currently used to treat IDD, but evidence has shown that these interventions do not have the ability to inhibit the progression of IDD and restore IVD function because IVD lacks the intrinsic capacity for regeneration. Thus, therapies that rely on a degenerative cell repair mechanism may be a viable alternative strategy. Biological interventions have been assessed by attempting to regenerate IVD by restoring ECM and cellular function.
