Lumican silencing alleviates tumor necrosis factor-α-induced nucleus pulposus cell inflammation and senescence by inhibiting apoptosis signal regulating kinase 1/p38 signaling pathway via inactivating Fas ligand expression

A recent study has reported that lumican (LUM) is expressed at a high level in the nucleus pulposus specimens from herniated lumbar disc, without description of the specific mechanism. This study was designed to investigate the function and mechanism of LUM in intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD)....
