Our study reveals the crucial role of LINC00917 in intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD), where it restores nucleus pulposus cell (NPC) function and inhibits IDD progression through modulating the miR-149-5p/NLRP1 axis.
Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) has caused great trouble in people's lives. Dysregulated long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are closely linked to IDD progression. Our study aims to analyze the role of LINC00917 in the progression of IDD. Forty nucleus pulposus (NP) IDD tissues and 40 NP tissues of intervertebral discs without apparent degeneration were collected. TBHP was used to induce IDD. Cell proliferation was measured using the MTT and EdU assays. Pyroptosis was detected using flow cytometry. RT-qPCR and Western blot assays were performed to determine mRNA, miRNA, and protein expression. Dual-luciferase reporter and RNA pull-down assays were performed to verify the relationship between LINC00917 or NLRP1 and miR-149-5p. LINC00917 expression was enhanced in TBHP-treated nucleus pulposus cells (NPCs). The knockdown of LINC00917 promoted proliferation and inhibited cytotoxicity, inflammatory response, and pyroptosis of NPCs. LINC00917 functions as a sponge for miR-149-5p. Having silenced miR-149-5p, the effects of LINC00917 knockdown on NPC proliferation and inflammation-induced pyroptosis were alleviated. NLRP1 overexpression induced cellular dysfunction and pyroptosis of NPCs. LINC00917 knockdown restored NPC cellular functions and inhibited IDD progression by modulating the miR-149-5p/NLRP1 axis.
