Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) is closely related with aging, whereas mitochondrial dysfunction is a common feature of aging in which results cell senescence. Phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN)induced putative kinase protein 1 (PINK1) is a mitochondrial-targeted serine/threonine kinase, which plays a protective role against mitochondrial dysfunction with mitochondrial quality control by activating PINK1/Parkin mediated mitophagy. This study aimed to investigate the protective role of PINK1 against mitochondrial dysfunction and human nucleus pulposus cell (NPC) senescence. We found that mitochondrial dysfunction and NPC senescence could be induced under sublethal oxidative stress by 150 mu M H2O2. Moreover, down-regulation of PINK1 tended to aggravate NPC senescence under oxidative stress. Therefore, mitophagy was evaluated in NPCs to further reveal the underlying mechanism. Results showed that sublethal oxidative stress induced mitochondria dysfunction and mitophagy in NPCs. Furthermore, depletion of PINK1 utilizing short hairpin RNA targeting PINK1 (PINK1-shRNA) impaired mitophagy, and exasperated NPC senescence under oxidative stress. In summary, these results suggested that PINK1 played as a protective role in clearance of damaged mitochondrial and alleviating cell senescence under oxidative stress, whose mechanism is associated with regulating mitophagy. These findings may provide a better understanding in pathomechanism of IDD and potential therapeutic approaches for IDD treatment. (C) 2018 Published by Elsevier Inc.
