Genetic factors in intervertebral disc degeneration

Genes & Diseases, 2016
Low back pain (LBP) is a major cause of disability and imposes huge economic burdens on human society worldwide. Among many factors responsible for LBP, intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) is the most common disorder and is a target for intervention. The etiology of IDD is complex and its mechanism is still not completely understood.

Spatiotemporal cellular dynamics of the notochord shape intervertebral disc morphogenesis in the mouse embryo through apoptosis and proliferation

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The notochord is a midline structure essential for vertebrate embryogenesis, contributing to the development of the nervous system, digestive tract, and vertebral column. In particular, notochord signaling is indispensable for proper patterning and coordinated development of alternating vertebrae and intervertebral discs (IVDs ...

Research progress on macrophage polarization during the degeneration process of lumbar intervertebral discs [PDF]

Jichu yixue yu linchuang
During pathological progression of lumbar intervertebral disc degeneration (LIDD), macrophage polarization functions as a critical regulatory mechanism through the dynamic transition between M1 and M2 phenotypes.

Accelerated cellular senescence in degenerate intervertebral discs: a possible role in the pathogenesis of intervertebral disc degeneration [PDF]

Arthritis Research & Therapy, 2007
AbstractCurrent evidence implicates intervertebral disc degeneration as a major cause of low back pain, although its pathogenesis is poorly understood. Numerous characteristic features of disc degeneration mimic those seen during ageing but appear to occur at an accelerated rate.

The role of ferroptosis in intervertebral disc degeneration

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2023
Nucleus pulposus, annulus fibrosus, and cartilage endplate constitute an avascular intervertebral disc (IVD), which is crucial for spinal and intervertebral joint mobility. As one of the most widespread health issues worldwide, intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) is recognized as a key contributor to back and neck discomfort.

Matching TGF‐β1 Activation With Stress‐Responsive Charge‐Reversal Hydrogel Microspheres for the Treatment of Osteoarthritis

Exploration, EarlyView.
Based on the interaction between the weakly cross‐linked disulfide bonds that break under stress and charge‐reversal messenger molecules, we herein achieved nanoparticle charge reversal under stress and constructed a stress‐responsive charge‐reversal hydrogel microsphere system using microfluidic technology.

Mechanisms and therapeutic strategies for senescence-associated secretory phenotype in the intervertebral disc degeneration microenvironment

Journal of Orthopaedic Translation
As a permanent state of cell cycle arrest, cellular senescence has become an important factor in aging and age-related diseases. As a central regulator of physiology and pathology associated with cellular senescence, the senescence associated secretory ...

Cell therapy for the degenerating intervertebral disc [PDF]

Translational Research, 2017
Spinal conditions related to intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration cost billions of dollars in the US annually. Despite the prevalence and soaring cost, there is no specific treatment that restores the physiological function of the diseased IVD. Thus, it is vital to develop new treatment strategies to repair the degenerating IVD.

The causality between smoking and intervertebral disc degeneration mediated by IL-1β secreted by macrophage: A Mendelian randomization study

Heliyon
There is still a lack of high-level evidence regarding the causal relationship between smoking and intervertebral disc degenerative diseases. This study utilized data from genome wide analysis studies and conducted two-sample Mendelian randomization ...
