Research Article: Aucubin Alleviates Intervertebral Disc Degeneration by Repressing NF-?B-NLRP Inflammasome Activation in Endplate Chondrocytes

Date Published: 2023-12-06

Abstract:
Low back pain (LBP) is a frequent disease that suffered people of all ages, and its prevalence increases with age., Although the etiology of LBP remains largely unknown, intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) is recognized as its major cause and target for treatment. IDD is a very complex pathological process that involves multiple stress-induced tissue injuries, and is also strongly associated with age. The prevalence of IDD is increasing due to the aging of the population. The intervertebral disc (IVD) is one of the elements comprising the lumbar spine. It is located between two adjacent vertebrae and consists of a central nucleus pulposus (NP) surrounded by a fibrous ring and cartilaginous endplate (CEP) envelope. Besides, it is capable of cushioning pressure from different directions and is prone to degradation accordingly. The process of IDD consists of gradual structural changes accompanied by an anabolic-catabolic imbalance. Cartilage extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation, immune response, apoptosis and pyroptosis of IVD cells are major molecular changes during IDD, ultimately causing alterations in the level of tissue.– There are multiple causative factors for IDD pathology, and the search for more effective interventions is particularly urgent.
