Effects of Hsa-miR-4741/LILRB2 on Senescence of Nucleus Pulposus Cells and Their Prognostic Values in Lumbar Disc Herniation

Background The incidence of lumbar disk herniation (LDH) is usually caused by lumbar disk degeneration. Surgery is a common treatment strategy for LDH, but it can recur, resulting in recurrent disk herniation (RDH).Purpose To explore the predictive value of hsa-miR-4741 and LILRB2 in the prognosis o...

description Background The incidence of lumbar disk herniation (LDH) is usually caused by lumbar disk degeneration. Surgery is a common treatment strategy for LDH, but it can recur, resulting in recurrent disk herniation (RDH).Purpose To explore the predictive value of hsa-miR-4741 and LILRB2 in the prognosis of LDH surgery and the mechanism of nucleus pulposus senescence.Method The ROC curves of RDH based on hsa-miR-4741 and LILRB2 were constructed to evaluate their predictive values in the prognosis of LDH surgery. Human nucleus pulposus cells (NPC) was treated by TNF-α to construct a cell senescence model, studying the senescence mechanism. Oxidative stress and senescence markers were detected after overexpression of hsa-miR-4741 and LILRB2 to evaluate their effects on the senescence of NPC. Dual luciferase assay and the transfection of hsa-miR-4741 mimics or inhibitor were used to investigate the targeted regulation of it to LILRB2.Results The combination of hsa-miR-4741 and LILRB2 showed higher accuracy in predicting the outcome of RDH (AUC = 0.9367), compared with a single molecule. Overexpression of hsa-miR-4741 enhanced TNF-α-induced oxidative stress and senescence, while LILRB2 overexpression had the opposite effect. Hsa-miR-4741 mimics attenuated the luciferase activity of NPC transfected with wt-LILRB2 vector and significantly down-regulated LILRB2 expression. In addition, the antioxidant NAC reversed the promotion of hsa-miR-4741 on NPC senescence.Conclusion The combination of hsa-miR-4741 and LILRB2 was a good predictor of LDH prognosis. Hsa-miR-4741 promoted oxidative stress-induced NPC senescence by negatively regulating LILRB2.
