RhTSG-6 inhibits IL-1 β-induced extracellular matrix degradation and apoptosis by suppressing the p38, and JNK pathways in nucleus pulposus cells.

CONCLUSIONS: RhTSG-6 can attenuate ECM degradation and apoptosis in IL-1β-induced NP cells by inhibiting the p38, JNK and ERK pathways, which may contribute to its potential application in the therapy of IDD. PMID: 32936927 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
