Intervertebral disk degeneration (IDD) is a common clinical spinal disease and one of the main causes low back pain (LBP). Generally speaking, IDD considered natural degenerative process with age. However, deepening research, people have discovered that not only related to age, but also has many factors can induce accelerate its progression. In addition, pathogenesis remains unclear, resulting in limited traditional treatment methods cannot effectively prevent treat IDD. Conservative may lead patients’ dependence on drugs, relief effect obvious. Similarly, surgical highly invasive, longer recovery time higher recurrence rate. With exploration, intestinal microorganisms are an important symbiotic microbial community human body closely occurrence development various diseases. Changes their metabolites affect body’s inflammatory response, immune regulation, metabolic processes, thereby affecting health intervertebral disk. this context, gut microbiota received considerable attention as potential target for delaying or treating This article first introduces impact microbes distal organs, then focuses three mechanisms by which influence Finally, we summarized interfering metabolites.

Lipid metabolism is a complex process that maintains the normal physiological function of human body. The disorder lipid has been implicated in various diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases and bone diseases. Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD), an age-related degenerative disease musculoskeletal system, characterized by high morbidity, treatment cost, chronic recurrence. may promote pathogenesis IDD, potential mechanisms are complex. Leptin, resistin, nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT), fatty acids, cholesterol while lipocalin, adiponectin, progranulin (PGRN) exhibit protective activity against IDD development. contributes to extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation, cell apoptosis, cartilage calcification intervertebral discs (IVDs) activating inflammatory responses, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, oxidative stress inhibiting autophagy. Several lines agents have developed target disorder. Inhibition be effective strategy for therapeutic management IDD. However, in-depth understanding molecular mechanism promoting development still needed.

This study explored the role of ferroptosis in intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD), and identified GATA6 as a key regulator this process. A ferroptosis-related gene risk coefficient model was constructed using differential expression analysis GSE70362 dataset. The significant factor IVDD progression. shown to promote nucleus pulposus cells (NPCs) by regulating AKR1C3 through TLR2 pathway. In vitro vivo experiments demonstrated that knockdown reduced ferroptosis, improved cell viability, mitigated extracellular matrix degradation, whereas overexpression exacerbated these processes. Furthermore, found be crucial for GATA6-mediated modulation TLR2-AKR1C3 axis significantly impacted NPCs. These findings suggest targeting its downstream pathway may provide new therapeutic approaches IVDD.

Oxeiptosis is a reactive oxygen species (ROS)-induced pathway of cell death. The involvement circular RNAs (circRNAs) has been confirmed in the incidence and progression intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD). However, whether oxeiptosis occurs IVDD how circRNAs regulate still unclear. In this study, we discovered that could be induced nucleus pulposus cells (NPCs), circFOXO3 was significantly upregulated after induction. Transfection using small interfering RNA (siRNA) inhibited NPCs. Mechanistically, acid-sensing ion channel subunit 1 (ASIC1) expression by functioning as molecular sponge for miR-185-3p miR-939-5p. Subsequent rescue experiments validated NPCs via miR-185-3p/miR-939-5p-ASIC1 axis. Further research on ASIC1 functions indicated regulation achieved affecting Calcium (Ca2+) influx mediated ASIC1. A mouse model established, silencing vivo found to inhibit development activation oxeiptosis-related pathway. Overall, one factors contributing mediating oxeiptosis.
