Background: Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) is a leading cause of low back pain, often linked to inflammation and pyroptosis in nucleus pulposus (NP) cells. The role of Periostin (POSTN) in IDD remains unclear.
Objective: This study aims to investigate the influence of POSTN on pyroptosis and NLRP3 inflammasome activation in NP cells during IDD.

Lamins, which are crucial type V intermediate filament proteins found in the nuclear lamina, are essential for maintaining the stability and function of the nucleus in higher vertebrates. They are classified into A- and B-types, and their distinct expression patterns contribute to cellular survival, development, and functionality. Lamins emerged during the transition from open to closed mitosis, with their complexity increasing alongside organism evolution.

REV7, also known as MAD2B, MAD2L2, and FANCV, is a HORMA-domain family protein crucial to multiple genome stability pathways. REV7's canonical role is as a member of polymerase ζ, a specialized translesion synthesis polymerase essential for DNA damage tolerance. REV7 also ensures accurate cell cycle progression and prevents premature mitotic progression by sequestering an anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome activator.

Multiple epigenetic modulations occur to chromatin rather than to DNA itself and these influence gene expression or gene silencing profoundly. Both the creation of these post-translational modifications and the mechanisms of their readout are regulated significantly by electrical forces several of which are discussed. They are also influenced by phase separation which itself is driven by electrical forces.

Background: Histone modification H3K27me3 plays a critical role in normal development and is associated with various diseases, including cancer. This modification forms large chromatin domains, known as Large Organized Chromatin Lysine Domains (LOCKs), which span several hundred kilobases.
Result: In this study, we identify and categorize H3K27me3 LOCKs in 109 normal human samples, distinguishing between long and short LOCKs.
