Myricetin Restores Autophagy to Attenuate Lumbar Intervertebral Disk Degeneration Via Negative Regulation of the JAK2/STAT3 Pathway.

Autophagy is a critical player in lumbar intervertebral disk degeneration (IDD), and autophagy activation has been suggested to prevent the apoptosis of nucleus pulposus cells (NPCs). Myricetin has anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant potentials and can activate autophagy. Thus, this study focused on the roles and mechanisms of myricetin in IDD.

Myricetin Protects Against Rat Intervertebral Disc Degeneration Partly Through the Nrf2/HO-1/NF-κB Signaling Pathway.

Intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration (IDD) is a prevalent musculoskeletal disorder. Nucleus pulposus cells (NPCs) play a significant role in the normal functioning of the IVD. Myricetin is an agent that exerts anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects in various pathological conditions.
