Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD), being the predominant root cause of lower back pain, has led to an enormous socioeconomic burden in world. Ferroptosis is iron-dependent nonapoptotic and nonpyroptotic programmed cell death associated with increase reactive oxygen species (ROS), which been implicated pathogenesis IDD. Activation transcription factor 3 (ATF3) widely reported promote ferroptosis apoptosis multiple diseases, but its roles underlying regulatory mechanism IDD have not...
The abnormal function of nucleus pulposus cells (NPCs) plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD). Recent studies have demonstrated that circular RNAs (circRNAs) are involved pathological process IVDD by regulating NPCs’ function. Nevertheless, investigation on circRNA-circRNA interaction has not yet been reported. Here, we identified top upregulated circ_0040039 and circ_0004354 IVDD, derived from syntrophin beta 2 gene but had different degrees...
