The Proteolysis of ECM in Intervertebral Disc Degeneration

Huaizhen Liang et al.

Summary: Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) is a common pathological process that leads to lower back pain. Understanding the molecular mechanisms involved in disc degeneration is crucial for the development of lumbar disc intervention strategies. This article explores the relationship between the intervertebral disc and the extracellular matrix (ECM), as well as the role of ECM proteolysis in the degenerative process. Targeting proteases associated with ECM proteolysis could be an effective intervention approach for IDD.

High glucose mediates the ChREBP/p300 transcriptional complex to activate proapoptotic genes Puma and BAX and contributes to intervertebral disc degeneration

Yu Feng et al.

Summary: Research suggests that high glucose levels in T2D-IDD patients lead to overactivation of glucose transporters and subsequent gene dysregulation, resulting in apoptosis and IDD development. Inhibiting GLUTs can reverse IDD defects caused by high glucose levels.

Regeneration in Spinal Disease: Therapeutic Role of Hypoxia-Inducible Factor-1 Alpha in Regeneration of Degenerative Intervertebral Disc

Jin-Woo Kim et al.

Summary: The intervertebral disc is a complex joint structure with nucleus pulposus, annulus fibrosus, and cartilaginous endplate. Degeneration of the intervertebral disc involves cellular, compositional, and structural changes, with significant alterations in the extracellular matrix composition with age. The hypoxia-inducible factor HIF-1 alpha is crucial in regulating various processes of intervertebral disc degeneration and may serve as a diagnostic tool and therapeutic target for inhibiting this degeneration.

The transrepression and transactivation roles of CtBPs in the pathogenesis of different diseases

Zhi Chen

Summary: CtBPs play crucial roles in gene transcription as both corepressors and coactivators in various biological processes. Therapeutic targeting of CtBPs or the interactions required to form transcriptional complexes has shown promising effects in preventing disease progression.

Strong association of type 2 diabetes with degenerative lumbar spine disorders

Chul-Hyun Park et al.

Summary: The study demonstrated a significant association between type 2 diabetes and lumbar spine disorders, with diabetic patients being more likely to have degenerative lumbar spine disorders and undergo spinal procedures. The results suggest diabetes as a predisposing factor for lumbar spine disorders.

Intervertebral Disk Degeneration: The Microenvironment and Tissue Engineering Strategies

Yiming Dou et al.

Summary: IVDD is a leading cause of disability, with inevitable degeneration and complex mechanisms. Current therapies focus on symptom relief rather than intrinsic regeneration of IVD. Tissue engineering shows promise in restoring a healthy microenvironment and promoting IVD regeneration, requiring a combination of strategies for personalized therapeutic approaches.

Painful intervertebral disc degeneration and inflammation: from laboratory evidence to clinical interventions

Feng-Juan Lyu et al.

Summary: Low back pain is a common musculoskeletal disorder with inflammation playing a crucial role in disc degeneration and pain. Various animal models and signaling pathways related to painful disc degeneration have been discussed, along with potential drug candidates to suppress discogenic LBP by targeting inflammation.
