Cytosolic escape of mitochondrial DNA triggers cGAS-STING-NLRP3 axis-dependent nucleus pulposus cell pyroptosis

Weifeng Zhang et al.

Summary: Investigating the mechanisms of intervertebral disc degeneration (IVD) has revealed a potential treatment for limiting the progression of low back pain. IVD involves widespread inflammation and cell death within the discs, but the exact progression of the condition is unclear. Researchers in China have found that oxidative stress triggers the leakage of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) into the cellular fluid, which activates an immune response pathway and leads to the release of inflammatory cytokines. The activation of this pathway is directly linked to the severity of IVD, allowing for potential monitoring of the condition. Administering a drug to block mtDNA leakage in rats has been shown to slow the progression of IVD.

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.

WTAP-mediated m6A modification of lncRNA NORAD promotes intervertebral disc degeneration

Gaocai Li et al.

Summary: Intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) is the main cause of low back pain, and Nucleus pulposus cell senescence plays an important role in its progression. The researchers found that the m6A modification of lncRNA NORAD, mediated by WTAP, is involved in IVDD. They also discovered that NORAD m6A modification is regulated by various factors, and its deficiency leads to increased cellular senescence.

Orientin downregulating oxidative stress-mediated endoplasmic reticulum stress and mitochondrial dysfunction through AMPK/SIRT1 pathway in rat nucleus pulposus cells in vitro and attenuated intervertebral disc degeneration in vivo

Zhao Zhang et al.

Summary: The translation of the paragraph: Although considered as a major contributor to low back pain (LBP), intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) has poor medical and surgical treatments. Various studies have revealed that endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and extracellular matrix (ECM) degeneration play a vital role in initiating and developing the progression of IVDD. Moreover, restoration of SIRT1/AMPK was confirmed to prevent IVDD and damage via maintaining ER and extracellular homeostasis. In addition, orientin (Ori) has been shown to upregulate SIRT1. However, the effect of Ori in nucleus pulposus cells (NPCs) is not determined. Hence, in this study we aim to explore the function of Ori in IVDD pathological model. The results demonstrate that Ori treatment in vitro increased SIRT1/AMPK in NPCs, maintained ECM and ER balance and decreased oxidative stress (OS) response. Ori rescued the disordered homeostasis stimulated by tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP), and its function can be inhibited by thapsigargin (TG). Compound C and EX-527, inhibitors of AMPK and SIRT1 counteracted the Ori-mediated ER stress elimination. These results confirm that Ori exerts its effects by upregulating AMPK and SIRT1. Puncture-stimulated IVDD rats were used to show that Ori attenuates the pathological development in vivo. In all, we partly unveil the underlying mechanisms of Ori in IVDD.

Summary: The study demonstrated that patients with intervertebral disc degeneration had increased levels of fibrotic markers in their tissues. Bleomycin induced a pro-fibrotic effect on annulus fibrosus cells and bone marrow stromal cells through the TGF beta-TGF beta R1-SMAD2/3 signaling pathway. Pharmacological inhibition or gene knock-down of TGF beta R1 could mitigate the pro-fibrotic effects.

Hui Lin et al.

Summary: It was found that compression increased ER stress and the association between ER and mitochondria in NP cells. Inhibiting ER stress and ER-mitochondrial Ca2+ crosstalk can protect NP cells from programmed necrosis related to the PARP-AIF pathway. Additionally, excessive reactive oxygen species are critical activators of ER stress, leading to mitochondrial Ca2+ accumulation and consequent programmed necrosis.

Mitochondrial quality control in intervertebral disc degeneration

Yu Song et al.

Summary: Dysfunctional mitochondria are associated with the development of intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD), a common and early-onset condition that can cause low back pain. Researchers are studying the mechanisms of mitochondrial quality control (MQC) to identify better treatments for IDD, as current treatments only address symptoms and not root causes. Targeting MQC mechanisms for therapeutic interventions shows promise, and further investigation into these mechanisms could lead to improved treatments for IDD.
