See full text

Provided are intervertebral disk nucleus pulposus stem cells or progenitor cells that may be used for treatment of intervertebral disk disorders. An intervertebral disk nucleus pulposus cell is characterized by being isolated from the intervertebral disk nucleus pulposus of a vertebrate and is positive for at least one surface marker from among Tie2 and GD2. That is, the intervertebral disk nucleus pulposus stem cell is characterized by being at least Tie2-positive for the surface marker and) possesses a self-renewal ability as well as multipotency capable of differentiating into adipocytes, osteocytes, chondrocytes and neurons. Also provided is an intervertebral disk nucleus pulposus progenitor cell characterized by being at least Tie2-negative and GD2-positive for the surface marker and capable of differentiating into any of adipocytes, osteocytes, chondrocytes and neurons.
