The Sirt1/P53 Axis in Diabetic Intervertebral Disc Degeneration Pathogenesis and Therapeutics.

ABSTRACT: Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) is one of the major causes of low back pain. Diabetes is a risk factor for IDD and may aggravate IDD in rats; however, the mechanism is poorly understood. Previously, we demonstrated that apoptosis and senescence were increased in diabetic nucleus pulposus (NP) tissues; in the current study, we found that hyperglycaemia may promote the incidence of apoptosis and senescence in NP cells in vitro. Meanwhile, the acetylation of P53, a master transcription factor of apoptosis and senescence, was also found increased in diabetic NP tissues in vivo as well as in hyperglycaemic NP cells in vitro. Sirt1 is an NAD⁺-dependent deacetylase, and we showed that the expression of Sirt1 was decreased in NP tissues, while hyperglycaemia could suppress the expression and activity of Sirt1 in NP cells. Furthermore, we demonstrated that butein may inhibit acetylation of P53 and protect NP cells against hyperglycaemia-induced apoptosis and senescence through Sirt1 activation, as the Sirt1 inhibitor Ex527 may counteract the protective effect of butein in hyperglycaemic NP cells. An in vivo study showed that butein could ameliorate the IDD process in diabetic rats, while Sirt1 was increased and acetyl-p53 was decreased in NP tissues in butein-treated rats. These results indicate that the Sirt1/P53 axis is involved in the pathogenesis of diabetic IDD and may serve as a therapeutic target for diabetic IDD.

p300 arrests intervertebral disc degeneration by regulating the FOXO3/Sirt1/Wnt/β-catenin axis.

Project description:The transcription factor p300 is reportedly involved in age-associated human diseases, including intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD). In this study, we investigate the potential role and pathophysiological mechanism of p300 in IDD. Clinical tissue samples were collected from patients with lumbar disc herniation (LDH), in which the expression of p300, forkhead box O3 (FOXO3), and sirtuin 1 (Sirt1) was determined. Nucleus pulposus cells (NPCs) isolated from clinical degenerative intervertebral disc (IVD) tissues were introduced with oe-p300, oe-FOXO3, Wnt/β-catenin agonist 1, C646 (p300/CBP inhibitor), or si-p300 to explore the functional role of p300 in IDD and to characterize the relationship between p300 and the FOXO3/Sirt1/Wnt/β-catenin pathway. Also, we established a rat IDD model by inducing needle puncture injuries in the caudal IVDs for further verification of p300 functional role. We found that p300 was downregulated in the clinical tissues and NPCs of IDD. Overexpression of p300 promoted the proliferation and autophagy of NPCs while inhibiting cell apoptosis, which was associated with FOXO3 upregulation. p300 could increase the expression of FOXO3 by binding to the Sirt1 promoter, and thus, contributed to inactivation of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. In vivo results further displayed that p300 slowed down the progression of IDD by disrupting the Wnt/β-catenin pathway through the FOXO3/Sirt1 axis. Taken together, we suggest that p300 can act to suppress IDD via a FOXO3-dependent mechanism, highlighting a potential novel target for treatment of IDD.

CircERCC2 ameliorated intervertebral disc degeneration by regulating mitophagy and apoptosis through miR-182-5p/SIRT1 axis.

Project description:The molecular mechanism of intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the role of circular RNAs (circRNAs) in the pathogenesis of IVDD. We sued nucleus pulposus (NP) tissues of patients, tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) stimulated NP cells (NPCs), and IVDD rat model to explore the interaction between circERCC2 and miR-182-5p/SIRT1 axis. The results showed that downregulation of circERCC2 increased the level of miR-182-5p and decreased the level of SIRT1 in degenerative NP tissues in vivo as well as in TBHP-stimulated NPCs in vitro. Treatment of SIRT1-si activated apoptosis and inhibited mitophagy. Moreover, miR-182-5p-si could regulate the mitophagy and the apoptosis of NPCs by targeting SIRT1. The effects of circERCC2 on NPCs and IVDD rat model were mediated by miR-182-5p/SIRT1 axis. In conclusion, this study provides the first evidence that circERCC2 could ameliorate IVDD through miR-182-5p/SIRT1 axis by activating mitophagy and inhibiting apoptosis, and suggests that circERCC2 is a potentially effective therapeutic target for IVDD.

Quercetin Suppresses Apoptosis and Attenuates Intervertebral Disc Degeneration via the SIRT1-Autophagy Pathway.

Project description:Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) has been generally accepted as the major cause of low back pain (LBP), which causes an enormous socioeconomic burden. Previous studies demonstrated that the apoptosis of nucleus pulposus (NP) cells and the dyshomeostasis of extracellular matrix (ECM) contributed to the pathogenesis of IDD, and effective therapies were still lacking. Quercetin, a natural flavonoid possessing a specific effect of autophagy stimulation and SIRT1 activation, showed some protective effect on a series of degenerative diseases. Based on previous studies, we hypothesized that quercetin might have therapeutic effects on IDD by inhibiting the apoptosis of NP cells and dyshomeostasis of ECM via the SIRT1-autophagy pathway. In this study, we revealed that quercetin treatment inhibited the apoptosis of NP cells and ECM degeneration induced by oxidative stress. We also found that quercetin promoted the expression of SIRT1 and autophagy in NP cells in a dose-dependent manner. Autophagy inhibitor 3-methyladenine (3-MA) reversed the protective effect of quercetin on apoptosis and ECM degeneration. Moreover, SIRT1 enzymatic activity inhibitor EX-527, suppressed quercetin-induced autophagy and the protective effect on NP cells, indicating that quercetin protected NP cells against apoptosis and prevented ECM degeneration via SIRT1-autophagy pathway. In vivo, quercetin was also demonstrated to alleviate the progression of IDD in rats. Taken together, our results suggest that quercetin prevents IDD by promoting SIRT1-dependent autophagy, indicating one novel and effective therapeutic method for IDD.

Regulation of catabolic gene expression in normal and degenerate human intervertebral disc cells: implications for the pathogenesis of intervertebral disc degeneration.

Project description:IntroductionThe aim of this study was to compare the effects of tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin-1-beta (IL-1beta) on protease and catabolic cytokine and receptor gene expression in normal and degenerate human nucleus pulposus cells in alginate culture.MethodsCells isolated from normal and degenerate nucleus pulposus regions of human intervertebral discs were cultured in alginate pellets and stimulated by the addition of 10 ng/mL TNF-alpha or IL-1beta for 48 hours prior to RNA extraction. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction was used to assess the effect of TNF-alpha or IL-beta stimulation on the expression of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-3, -9 and -13, TNF-alpha, TNF receptor 1 (TNF-R1), TNF receptor 2 (TNF-R2), IL-1alpha, IL-1beta, IL-1 receptor 1 (IL-1R1) and IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra).ResultsMMP-3 and MMP-9 gene expressions were upregulated to a greater level by IL-1beta than TNF-alpha. MMP-13 was upregulated by each cytokine to a similar extent. TNF-alpha and TNF-R2 expressions were upregulated by both TNF-alpha and IL-beta, whereas TNF-R1 expression was not significantly affected by either cytokine. IL-1beta and IL-1Ra expressions were significantly upregulated by TNF-alpha, whereas IL-1alpha and IL-1R1 were unchanged.ConclusionsTNF-alpha does not induce MMP expression to the same degree as stimulation by IL-1beta, but it does act to upregulate IL-1beta expression as well as TNF-alpha and TNF-R2. The net result of this would be an increased inflammatory environment and accelerated degradation of the matrix. These results support the hypothesis that, while TNF-alpha may be an important initiating factor in matrix degeneration, IL-1beta plays a greater role in established pathological degradation.

Treatment of Intervertebral Disc Degeneration.

Project description:Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) causes a variety of signs and symptoms, such as low back pain (LBP), intervertebral disc herniation, and spinal stenosis, which contribute to high social and economic costs. IDD results from many factors, including genetic factors, aging, mechanical injury, malnutrition, and so on. The pathological changes of IDD are mainly composed of the senescence and apoptosis of nucleus pulposus cells (NPCs), the progressive degeneration of extracellular matrix (ECM), the fibrosis of annulus fibrosus (AF), and the inflammatory response. At present, IDD can be treated by conservative treatment and surgical treatment based on patients' symptoms. However, all of these can only release the pain but cannot reverse IDD and reconstruct the mechanical function of the spine. The latest research is moving towards the field of biotherapy. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are regard as the potential therapy of IDD because of their ability to self-renew and differentiate into a variety of tissues. Moreover, the non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are found to regulate many vital processes in IDD. There have been many successes in the in vitro and animal studies of using biotherapy to treat IDD, but how to transform the experimental data to real therapy which can apply to humans is still a challenge. This article mainly reviews the treatment strategies and research progress of IDD and indicates that there are many problems that need to be solved if the new biotherapy is to be applied to clinical treatment of IDD. This will provide reference and guidance for clinical treatment and research direction of IDD.

Macrophages and Intervertebral Disc Degeneration.

Project description:The intervertebral disc (IVD) aids in motion and acts to absorb energy transmitted to the spine. With little inherent regenerative capacity, degeneration of the intervertebral disc results in intervertebral disc disease, which contributes to low back pain and significant disability in many individuals. Increasing evidence suggests that IVD degeneration is a disease of the whole joint that is associated with significant inflammation. Moreover, studies show elevated macrophage accumulation within the IVD with increasing levels of disease severity; however, we still need to understand the roles, be they causative or consequential, of macrophages during the degenerative process. In this narrative review, we discuss hallmarks of IVD degeneration, showcase evidence of macrophage involvement during disc degeneration, and explore burgeoning research aimed at understanding the molecular pathways regulating macrophage functions during intervertebral disc degeneration.

Nimbolide targeting SIRT1 mitigates intervertebral disc degeneration by reprogramming cholesterol metabolism and inhibiting inflammatory signaling

Project description:Inflammation, abnormal cholesterol metabolism, and macrophage infiltration are involved in the destruction of the extracellular matrix of the nucleus pulposus (NP), culminating in intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD). Whether nimbolide (Nim), a natural extract, can alleviate IDD is unclear. In this study, we demonstrated that Nim promotes cholesterol efflux and inhibits the activation of the nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathways by activating sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) in nucleus pulposus cells (NPCs) during inflammation. Thus, Nim balanced matrix anabolism and catabolism of NPCs. However, the inhibition of SIRT1 significantly attenuated the effects of Nim. We also found that Nim promoted the expression of SIRT1 in RAW 264.7, which enhanced the proportion of M2 macrophages by facilitating cholesterol homeostasis reprogramming and impeded M1-like macrophages polarization by blocking the activation of inflammatory signaling. Based on these results, Nim can improve the microenvironment and facilitate matrix metabolism equilibrium in NPCs. Furthermore, in vivo treatment with Nim delayed IDD progression by boosting SIRT1 expression, modulating macrophage polarization and preserving the extracellular matrix. In conclusion, Nim may represent a novel therapeutic strategy for treating IDD. Graphical abstract Nim targeting SIRT1 protects NPCs by promoting cholesterol efflux and inhibiting inflammatory pathways and modulates macrophage polarization to create an immune microenvironment conducive to matrix synthesis of NPCs.Image 1

Intervertebral Disc Biology: Genetic Basis of Disc Degeneration.

Project description:Purpose of reviewThis review aims to highlight recent advances in understanding the genetic basis of intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD).Recent findingsIt has been known for some time that IDD is highly heritable. Recent studies, and in particular the availability of agnostic techniques such as genome-wide association studies, have identified new variants in a variety of genes which contribute to the risk of IDD and to back pain.SummaryA variety of genetic variants are involved in IDD. Some are shared with variants predisposing to back pain, but few have been identified reliably in either phenotype. Further research is required to explain fully the high heritability and how the genetic variants influence cell biology to lead to IDD.
