Molecular Mechanisms of Intervertebral Disc Degeneration

Spine Surgery and Related Research, 2019
Intervertebral disc degeneration is a well-known cause of disability, the result of which includes neck and back pain with associated mobility limitations. The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of the known molecular mechanisms through which intervertebral disc degeneration occurs as a result of complex interactions of exogenous and ...

Novel approaches for drug development against chronic primary pain: A systematic review

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Chronic primary pain (CPP) persisting for more than 3 months, associated with significant emotional distress without any known underlying cause, is an unmet medical need. Traditional or adjuvant analgesics do not provide satisfactory pain relief for a great proportion of these patients.

Harnessing Metabolic Priming to Engineer Human Nucleus Pulposus Macromass Overcoming Scalability‐Phenotype Tradeoff

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
Human platelet lysate acts as a metabolic primer for hNPCs, enhancing fatty acid oxidation to drive proliferation while preserving phenotype. This enables construction of high‐quality, large‐size macromasses without necrotic defects, demonstrating exceptional efficacy in repairing degenerated discs in situ and providing a novel paradigm for ...

TWEAK and TSLP in disc degeneration and spontaneous hernia resorption

JOR Spine, 2020
Spontaneous degeneration of an intervertebral disc is caused by inflammation that accompanies exposure of the avascular nucleus pulposus to circulation, triggering an autoimmune inflammatory reaction.

TAK-715 alleviated IL-1β-induced apoptosis and ECM degradation in nucleus pulposus cells and attenuated intervertebral disc degeneration ex vivo and in vivo

Arthritis Research & Therapy, 2023
Background Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) is one of the most common disorders related to the spine. Inflammation, apoptosis and extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation contribute to disc degeneration in nucleus pulposus cells (NPCs).

Itgb1‐Mediated Stabilization of Vimentin Alleviates Excessive Mechanical Stress‐Induced Nucleus Pulposus Cell Pyroptosis and Intervertebral Disc Degeneration via PINK1‐Parkin‐Dependent Mitophagy

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
Excessive mechanical stress induces nucleus pulposus cell pyroptosis and intervertebral disc degeneration. Itgb1 inhibits MNAT1‐mediated ubiquitination and degradation of Vimentin. Vimentin alleviates excessive mechanical stress‐induced nucleus pulposus cell pyroptosis and intervertebral disc degeneration through PINK1‐Parkin‐dependent mitophagy ...

Intervertebral Disc Degeneration

, 2017
The human spine consists of 23 intervertebral discs adjoining the vertebral bodies. These discs provide mechanical support and spinal motion and function to distribute loads from daily activities. Tissues of intervertebral discs share similarities to those of diarthrodial joints, such as a thin layer of cartilage that lines the interface between the ...

Targeting m6A Modifications Regulating Ferroptosis Offers Novel Therapy in Diseases

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
m6A RNA modification regulates ferroptosis by balancing iron metabolism, lipid peroxidation, and antioxidant defenses. Dysregulated m6A signaling disrupts pro‐ and anti‐ferroptotic factors, leading to excess ROS, Fe3+ accumulation, and lipid peroxidation–driven cell death. Targeting m6A‐mediated ferroptotic regulation represents a promising therapeutic
