Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) is a major cause of low back pain (LBP), and effective therapies are still lacking. Previous studies reported that mitochondrial dysfunction contributes to apoptosis, and urolithin A (UA) specifically induces mitophagy. Herein, we aimed to investigate the protective effect of UA-induced mitophagy on tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP)-induced apoptosis in nucleus pulposus (NP) cells in vitro and a rat model of IDD in vivo. Mitochondrial function, apoptosis, and mitophagy were measured in UA-treated NP cells by western blotting and immunofluorescence; the therapeutic effects of UA on IDD were assessed in rats with puncture-induced IDD. The results showed that UA could activate mitophagy in primary NP cells, and UA treatment inhibited TBHP-induced mitochondrial dysfunction and the intrinsic apoptosis pathway. Mechanistically, we revealed that UA promoted mitophagy by activating AMPK signaling in TBHP-induced NP cells. In vivo, UA was shown to effectively alleviate the progression of puncture-induced IDD in rats. Taken together, our results suggest that UA could be a novel and effective therapeutic strategy for IDD.

尿石素A诱导的细胞吞噬抑制细胞凋亡,并通过AMPK信号通路减弱椎间盘退变。

椎间盘退变(IDD)是下腰痛(LBP)的主要原因,仍然缺乏有效的治疗方法。先前的研究报道,线粒体功能障碍导致细胞凋亡,而尿石素A(UA)特异性诱导线粒体吞噬。本文中,我们旨在研究UA诱导的线粒体对叔丁基氢过氧化物(TBHP)诱导的髓核(NP)细胞凋亡的体内保护作用以及体内IDD的大鼠模型的保护作用。通过Western印迹和免疫荧光检测UA处理的NP细胞的线粒体功能,凋亡和线粒体。在穿刺诱导的IDD大鼠中评估了UA对IDD的治疗作用。结果表明,UA可以激活原代NP细胞的线粒体吞噬,UA处理可以抑制TBHP诱导的线粒体功能障碍和固有的凋亡途径。从机制上讲,我们揭示了UA通过激活TBHP诱导的NP细胞中的AMPK信号传导来促进线粒体的吞噬。在体内,UA被证明可有效减轻大鼠穿刺诱导IDD的进展。综上所述,我们的结果表明,UA可能是IDD的一种新颖有效的治疗策略。
