Down‐regulation of insulin‐like growth factor binding protein 5 is involved in intervertebral disc degeneration via the ERK signalling pathway
10 Jul 2019
Abstract excerpt
It is obvious that epigenetic processes influence the evolution of intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD). However, its molecular mechanisms are poorly understood. Therefore, we tested the hypothesis that IGFBP5, a potential regulator of IDD, modulates IDD via the ERK signalling pathway. We showed that IGFBP5 mRNA was significantly down-regulated in degenerative nucleus pulposus (NP) tissues. IGFBP5 was shown to...
