Inhibition of ETS1/DRP1 axis attenuates intervertebral disc degeneration by suppressing excessive mitochondrial fission.
Findings revealed the ETS1/DRP1 axis as a novel pathogenic mechanism and a potential therapeutic target in IVDD and inhibition of ETS1 via AAV5-mediated RNA interference or targeting DRP1 with CRISPR/dCas9-KRAB system or Mdivi-1 alleviated mitochondrial dysfunction, cellular senescence, ECM degradation, and attenuated...
