One of the main causes of low back pain (LBP) and degenerative musculoskeletal disorders is intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD). Inflammation-associated senescence of Human nucleus pulposus cells (HNPCs) plays an essential function in the disease progression of IVDD. Omentin-1 is an adipokine that has been recently reported to have anti-inflammatory potential. In our research, IL-1β was used to simulate the inflammatory environment in the IVDD. We investigated in vitro the effects of Omentin-1 on HNPCs, including the components of senescence, cell cycle and extracellular matrix (ECM) synthesis. The results showed that the addition of Omentin-1 improved IL-1β-induced senescence in HNPCs. G1 phase cell cycle arrest and reduced ECM synthesis in HNPCs. Furthermore, we demonstrated that the effect of Omentin-1 in reducing senescence of HNPCs is dependent on SIRT1. These findings suggest that Omentin-1 plays an important function in protecting HNPCs against senescence and has the potential for IVDD gene target therapy.
