Inhibition of PP2A ameliorates intervertebral disc degeneration by reducing annulus fibrosus cells apoptosis via p38/MAPK signal pathway

CONCLUSIONS: This study suggests that the downregulation of PP2 A could reduce AF cell apoptosis and degeneration via the p38/MAPK pathway. It also revealed that the inhibition of PP2 A is expected to be a therapeutic target for IVDD.PMID:37722489 | DOI:10.1016/j.bbadis.2023.166888
