17β-estradiol protects nucleus pulposus cells from serum deprivation-induced apoptosis and regulates expression of MMP-3 and MMP-13 through promotion of autophagy

Serum deprivation is a likely contributor to intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration (IVDD).17β-estradiol (E2) have been noted to protect nucleus pulposus cells (NPCs) against apoptosis. Autophagy and apoptosis play a paramount role in maintaining the homeostasis of IVD. So far, little research has b...
