Fig. 1From: Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells deliver exogenous miR-26a-5p via exosomes to inhibit nucleus pulposus cell pyroptosis through METTL14/NLRP3HucMSC promotes cell viability and inhibits the expression of methyltransferases in HNPC. A Cell viability and (D, E) expression of METTL3, METTL14, and WTAP in HNPC isolated from patients with intervertebral disc degeneration (D-HNPC) or normal controls (N-HNPC) with or without hucMSC coculture. B, C m6A levels in HNP tissues or HNPC isolated from patients with intervertebral disc degeneration (D-HNP; D-HNPC) or normal controls (N-HNP; D-HNPC). *P < 0.05, ***P < 0.001Back to article page
