Emerging role and therapeutic implication of mTOR signalling in intervertebral disc degeneration

Hai-Wei Chen et al.

Summary: Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) is an important cause of chronic low back pain (LBP) and serves as the pathological basis for various spinal degenerative diseases. Factors such as autophagy, oxidative stress, inflammatory responses, ECM homeostasis, cellular senescence, and apoptosis are involved in reducing ECM synthesis by intervertebral disc (IVD) cells and accelerating IDD progression. The mTOR signaling pathway plays a crucial role in the regulation of autophagy, oxidative stress, inflammatory responses, ECM homeostasis, cellular senescence, and apoptosis in IVD cells.

Role of autophagy in intervertebral disc degeneration

Rebecca Kritschil et al.

Summary: Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) is a major cause of low back pain, and the lack of understanding regarding nucleus pulposus (NP) cell metabolism and physiology hinders the development of effective treatments. Autophagy is a potential mechanism for NP cells to survive in the harsh microenvironment of the intervertebral disc, but further research is needed to determine its exact regulation and potential as a therapeutic target for IDD. Studies confirm the presence of autophagy markers in IDD tissue, but more in-depth research is necessary to establish the role of autophagy in maintaining NP cell health.

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.

Telomere Shortening and Increased Oxidative Stress in Lumbar Disc Degeneration

Summary: This study found that patients with lumbar disc degeneration (LDD) had shorter telomeres, increased oxidative stress, and decreased antioxidant levels. The telomere length was negatively correlated with the severity of LDD, while oxidative stress markers (MDA and 8-OHdG) showed positive correlations with severity. These findings suggest that telomere length, as well as MDA and 8-OHdG levels, may be potential non-invasive biomarkers for assessing the severity of LDD.

MAPK/ERK Signaling Pathway in Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Hyuk Moon et al.

Summary: The MAPK/ERK signaling pathway is frequently activated in liver cancer, with alternative mechanisms other than genetic mutations driving its activation. Recent studies have focused on understanding the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in the activation of the MAPK/ERK signaling pathway in HCC, suggesting potential therapeutic strategies targeting this pathway.

Targeting PI3K/AKT/mTOR Signaling Pathway in Breast Cancer

Huayi Li et al.

Summary: The PI3K signaling pathway is crucial in breast cancer and inhibitors targeting this pathway show promising activity, but resistance and adverse reactions limit their efficacy. Combination therapies and identifying suitable patient subpopulations are needed to enhance therapeutic benefit.

Stem Cells and Exosomes: New Therapies for Intervertebral Disc Degeneration

Zoe Krut et al.

Summary: Intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) is a result of imbalanced anabolic and catabolic processes in the disc, naturally occurring with age. Current treatments lack the ability to stop disease progression or restore functionality, while stem cell-derived exosomes show potential as a therapeutic option.
Article Oncology

Transcription factor EB mediates oxidative stress-induced intervertebral disc degeneration via the NF-κB signaling pathway

He Liang et al.

Summary: The study indicates that TFEB expression decreases as the intervertebral disc degeneration progresses, and under oxidative stress treatment, the expression of TFEB, collagen 2, and aggrecan decreases gradually. Overexpression of TFEB can increase collagen 2 and aggrecan expression, while reducing NF-kappa B expression, potentially serving as a therapeutic target.

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.

Acid-sensing ion channels regulate nucleus pulposus cell inflammation and pyroptosis via the NLRP3 inflammasome in intervertebral disc degeneration

Kangcheng Zhao et al.

Summary: Extracellular lactate regulates intercellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels through ASIC1 and ASIC3, activating the NF-kappa B signaling pathway to promote NLRP3 inflammasome activation and IL-1 beta release, ultimately contributing to NP degeneration.

The AGE-RAGE Axis and RAGE Genetics in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Summary: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a heterogeneous group of lung diseases characterized by limited airflow, chronic bronchitis, and emphysema. Research has shown that the receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) plays an important role in the pathology of COPD, and its truncated form, soluble RAGE (sRAGE), is considered a significant marker for COPD.

Small molecule-based treatment approaches for intervertebral disc degeneration: Current options and future directions

Amir Kamali et al.

Summary: Low back pain is a major cause of disability, with symptomatic intervertebral disc degeneration contributing to a significant portion of cases. Current treatments often fail to address the root problem, leading to a need for novel therapies. Small molecule-based therapy shows potential in treating intervertebral disc degeneration, but is still in its early stages of development.
