NAT2 genetic polymorphism and age dependent efficacy of neurotropin® for the enhancement of aggrecan gene expression in nucleus pulposus cells
2020-12-28
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background: </h4> Intervertebral disc degeneration, one of the major causes of low-back pain, results from altered biosynthesis/turnover of extracellular matrix in the disc. Previously, we reported that the analgesic drug Neurotropin® (NTP) had an anabolic effect on glycosaminoglycan synthesis in cultured nucleus pulposus (NP) cells via the stimulation of chondroitin sulfate N -acetylgalactosaminyltransferase...
