OBJECTIVES Diabetes is a risk factor for intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD). Studies have demonstrated that diabetes may affect IVDD through transcriptional regulation; however, whether post-transcriptional regulation is involved in diabetic IVDD (DB-IVDD) is still unknown. This study was performed to illustrate the role of HuR, an RNA-binding protein, in DB-IVDD development and its mechanism. MATERIALS AND METHODS The expression of HuR was evaluated in nucleus pulposus (NP) tissues from diabetic IVDD patients and in high glucose-treated NP cells. Senescence and autophagy were assessed in HuR over-expressing and downregulation NP cells. The mRNAs that were regulated by HuR were screened, and immunoprecipitation was applied to confirm the regulation of HuR on targeted mRNAs. RESULTS The results showed that the expression of HuR was decreased in diabetic NP tissues and high glucose-treated NP cells. Downregulation of HuR may lead to increased senescence in high glucose-treated NP cells, while autophagy activation attenuates senescence in HuR deficient NP cells. Mechanistic study showed that HuR prompted Atg7 mRNA stability via binding to the AU-rich elements. Furthermore, overexpression of Atg7, but not HuR, may ameliorate DB-IVDD in rats in vivo. CONCLUSIONS In conclusion, HuR may suppress senescence through autophagy activation via stabilizing Atg7 in diabetic NP cells; while Atg7, but not HuR, may serve as a potential therapeutic target for DB-IVDD.

RNA结合蛋白HuR通过Atg7介导的糖尿病椎间盘退变中的自噬激活抑制衰老

目的 糖尿病是椎间盘退变 (IVDD) 的危险因素。研究表明,糖尿病可能通过转录调控影响 IVDD;然而,转录后调节是否参与糖尿病 IVDD(DB-IVDD)仍然未知。进行这项研究是为了说明 HuR(一种 RNA 结合蛋白)在 DB-IVDD 发展中的作用及其机制。材料与方法 在糖尿病 IVDD 患者的髓核 (NP) 组织和高糖处理的 NP 细胞中评估 HuR 的表达。在 HuR 过表达和下调 NP 细胞中评估衰老和自噬。筛选受 HuR 调节的 mRNA,并应用免疫沉淀来确认 HuR 对靶向 mRNA 的调节。结果 结果显示,在糖尿病性鼻咽癌组织和高糖处理的鼻息肉细胞中,HuR的表达降低。HuR 的下调可能导致高糖处理的 NP 细胞衰老增加,而自噬激活减弱 HuR 缺陷 NP 细胞的衰老。机理研究表明,HuR 通过与富含 AU 的元件结合来促进 Atg7 mRNA 的稳定性。此外,Atg7 而非 HuR 的过表达可能会改善大鼠体内的 DB-IVDD。结论总之,HuR可能通过稳定糖尿病NP细胞中的Atg7而通过自噬激活抑制衰老;Atg7 而不是 HuR,可以作为 DB-IVDD 的潜在治疗靶点。而自噬激活减弱了 HuR 缺陷 NP 细胞的衰老。机理研究表明,HuR 通过与富含 AU 的元件结合来促进 Atg7 mRNA 的稳定性。此外,Atg7 而非 HuR 的过表达可能会改善大鼠体内的 DB-IVDD。结论总之,HuR可能通过稳定糖尿病NP细胞中的Atg7而通过自噬激活抑制衰老;Atg7 而不是 HuR,可以作为 DB-IVDD 的潜在治疗靶点。而自噬激活减弱了 HuR 缺陷 NP 细胞的衰老。机理研究表明,HuR 通过与富含 AU 的元件结合来促进 Atg7 mRNA 的稳定性。此外,Atg7 而非 HuR 的过表达可能会改善大鼠体内的 DB-IVDD。结论总之,HuR可能通过稳定糖尿病NP细胞中的Atg7而通过自噬激活抑制衰老;Atg7 而不是 HuR,可以作为 DB-IVDD 的潜在治疗靶点。
