Lumbar Disc Degeneration is Facilitated by MiR-100-Mediated FGFR3 Suppression
1 Jan 2015
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/AIMS: The pathogenesis of lumbar disc degeneration (LDD) involved activation of matrix metalloproteinase 13 (MMP13) by differential expression of fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1) and FGFR3. Nevertheless, the molecular regulation of FGFR1 and FGFR3 in the lumber disc cells remains elusive. METHODS: We examined the FGFR1 and FGFR3 levels and microRNAs (miRNAs) levels in the resected LDD discs,...
