Role of macrophage in intervertebral disc degeneration [PDF]

Bone Research
Intervertebral disc degeneration is a degenerative disease where inflammation and immune responses play significant roles. Macrophages, as key immune cells, critically regulate inflammation through polarization into different phenotypes. In recent years,

Sal003 alleviated intervertebral disc degeneration by inhibiting apoptosis and extracellular matrix degradation through suppressing endoplasmic reticulum stress pathway in rats

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2023
Apoptosis and extracellular matrix degradation of the nucleus pulposus are the main initiators of intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) and can be explained by endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress.

The role of ageing and oxidative stress in intervertebral disc degeneration

Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2022
Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) is the primary cause of intervertebral disc (IVD) disease. With the increased ageing of society, an increasing number of patients are plagued by intervertebral disc disease. Ageing not only accelerates the decreased

Protective role of the alpha-1-antitrypsin in intervertebral disc degeneration

Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research, 2021
Background Intervertebral disc degeneration is a complex disease with high prevalence. It suggests that cell death, senescence, and extracellular matrix degradation are involved in the pathogenesis. Alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT), a serine protease inhibitor,

Clinical and magnetic resonance imaging characteristics of thoracolumbar intervertenral disk extrusions and protrusions in large breed dogs [PDF]

, 2002
It has recently been shown that the fat-derived hormone adiponectin has the ability to decrease hyperglycemia and to reverse insulin resistance. However, bacterially produced full-length adiponectin is functionally inactive. Here, we show that endogenous

Identification of Key Modules and Hub Genes of Annulus Fibrosus in Intervertebral Disc Degeneration

Frontiers in Genetics, 2021
Background: Intervertebral disc degeneration impairs the quality of patients lives. Even though there has been development of many therapeutic strategies, most of them remain unsatisfactory due to the limited understanding of the mechanisms that underlie

Inhibition of lysyl oxidase accelerates intervertebral disc degeneration induced by apoptosis of nucleus pulposus cells

陆军军医大学学报, 2023
Objective To explore the role and possible mechanism of lysyl oxidase (LOX) in age-related degeneration of intervertebral disc. Methods Six SD rats, aged of 2, 8 and 20 months respectively, were subjected, and then underwent intervertebral disc MRI and X-
