To study the role of the nuclear factor (NF)-κB signaling pathway and P120-catenin in the inflammatory effects of intermittent cyclic mechanical tension (ICMT) on endplate chondrocytes. Inflammatory reactions of endplate chondrocyte were measured by real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays, a dual-luciferase reporter assay system, immunofluorescence, and Western blot analysis. ICMT loading led to inflammatory reactions of endplate chondrocytes in both the rabbit endplate cartilage model and rat endplate chondrocytes in vitro. Inhibition of NF-κB signaling significantly ameliorated the inflammation induced by ICMT in endplate chondrocytes. Moreover, the expression of P120-catenin was decreased by ICMT. However, over-expression of P120-catenin suppressed NF-κB signaling and reversed the inflammatory effects. P120-catenin prevents endplate chondrocytes from undergoing ICMT-mediated inflammation by suppressing the expression of NF-κB. J. Cell. Biochem. 118: 4508-4516, 2017. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) is a leading cause of chronic back pain and significantly impacts quality of life. The pathogenesis of IVDD is largely driven by inflammation, pyroptosis, and extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation, which current therapies fail to adequately address. In this study, we explore the therapeutic potential of exosomes derived from endplate chondrocytes (EPCs), with a particular focus on the microRNA miR-128-3p.

Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD)-induced cervical and lumbar herniations are debilitating diseases. The function of intervertebral disc (IVD) mainly depends on the cartilage endplate (CEP), which provides support and waste removal. Therefore, IDD stems from the degeneration of CEP.

Objective: To observe the effects of electroacupuncture (EA) at "Jiaji" (EX-B 2) on extracellular matrix (ECM) of chondrocytes and inflammatory reaction in rabbits with Modic changes (MC) of cartilage endplate, and to explore the mechanism of EA in treating MC of endplate cartilage.
Methods: Eighteen male New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into a sham operation group, a model group and an EA group, 6 rabbits in each group. Based on the autoimmune theory, MC model was established by embedding autogenous nucleus pulposus in the rabbits of the model group and the EA group, based on autoimmunity.

Low back pain (LBP) is largely attributed to intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD), of which the endplate changes are an important component. However, the alterations in cell fate and properties within the endplates during degeneration remain unknown. Here, we firstly performed the single-cell RNA-sequencing analysis (scRNA-seq) of the cells focusing on degenerative human endplates.

We reported that parathyroid hormone (PTH) treatment could reduce vertebral endplate sclerosis and improve pain behaviors in aging, SM/J and young lumbar spine instability (LSI) mice. Aberrant innervation noted in the vertebral body and endplate during spinal degeneration was reduced with PTH treatment in aging and LSI mice as quantified by PGP9.
