## Abstract A significant biochemical change that takes place in intervertebral disc degeneration is the loss of proteoglycans in the nucleus pulposus. Proteoglycans attract fluid, which works to reduce mechanical stresses in the solid matrix of the nucleus and provide a hydrostatic pressure to the

Fifteen lumbar spines were collected postmortem. The interverte-bra1 discs were assigned morphological grades and were analyzed for water, collagen, and proteoglycan. In order of increasing degeneration, five grade 0, four grade 1,45 grade 2, 12 grade 3A, and nine grade 3B discs were identified. The

## Abstract To date, there have been no reports on the effect on disc cells of the intervertebral disc (IVD) of the amino terminal peptide of link protein (DHLSDNYTLDHDRAIH) (link N) which is generated by the cleavage of human link protein by stromelysins 1 and 2, gelatinase A and B, and collagenas
