Nucleus pulposus cell senescence is alleviated by resveratrol through regulating the ROS/NF-κB pathway under high-magnitude compression
Open accessAbstract
Mechanical overloading is a risk factor of disc degeneration. Studies have demonstrated that resveratrol helps to maintain the disc cell’s healthy biology. The present study aims to investigate whether resveratrol can suppress mechanical overloading-induced nucleus pulposus (NP) cell senescence in vitro and the potential mechanism. The isolated rat NP cells were seeded in the decalcified bone matrix (DBM) and cultured under non-compression (control) and compression (20% deformation, 1.0 Hz, 6 h/day) for 5 days using the mechanically active bioreactor. The resveratrol (30 and 60 μM) was added into the culture medium of the compression group to investigate its protective effects against the NP cell senescence. NP cell senescence was evaluated by cell proliferation, cell cycle, senescence-associated β-galactosidase (SA-β-Gal) activity, telomerase (TE) activity, and gene expression of the senescence markers (p16 and p53). Additionally, the reactive oxygen species (ROS) content and activity of the NF-κB pathway were also analyzed. Compared with the non-compression group, the high-magnitude compression significantly promoted NP cell senescence, increased ROS generation and activity of the NF-κB pathway. However, resveratrol partly attenuated NP cell senescence, decreased ROS generation and activity of the NF-κB pathway in a concentration-dependent manner under mechanical compression. Resveratrol can alleviate mechanical overloading-induced NP cell senescence through regulating the ROS/NF-κB pathway. The present study provides that resveratrol may be a potential drug for retarding mechanical overloading-induced NP cell senescence.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
