The annulus fibrosus (AF) is a multi-lamellar fibrocartilagenous ring in the intervertebral disc. The variation of biochemical composition from the outer to the inner AF is largely responsible for the heterogeneous mechanical properties. In vitro tissue-level studies require mechanical testing in aqueous buffers to avoid tissue dehydration. The varying glycosaminoglycan (GAG) contents from outer to inner AF suggest that the response to high and low PBS osmolarity may also be different with radial position. Previous studies in tendon and ligament have been conflicting: soaking tendon fascicles in PBS decreased tensile modulus1 and treating ligament in buffer had no effect on modulus.2

The mechanical properties of the intervertebral disc are regulated by its biochemical composition. With ageing and degeneration the water content of the disc decreases which highly influences the mechanical properties. The disc is subjected to a combination of elastic, viscous and osmotic forces. Osmotic forces are shown to have a major impact on crack opening and propagation [1] and on cellular responses [2]. In particular, osmosis provides an understanding on why fissures in the degenerating disc are so poorly related to external mechanical load [3].
