Abstract

Low back pain (LBP) is a very common condition and leads to serious pain, disability, and price tag all over the world. Intervertebral disk degeneration (IDD) is one of the major reasons that contributed to LBP. The levels of interleukin 1 beta (IL-1β) increase significantly in degenerative disks. IL-1β also accelerates IDD. Sinapic acid (SA) has the effect of anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and antimicrobial. However, the effect of SA on IDD has never been studied. Therefore, the aim of this study was to figure out whether SA has protective effect on nucleus pulposus (NP) cells and further explore the possible underlying mechanism.
