Abstract
Naringin effectively promotes the proliferation of degenerative human NP cells and improves the recuperation of the cells from degeneration by increasing expression of aggrecan, BMP-2, and Sox6 while inhibiting the expression of TNF-α and MMP3. This study suggests that naringin may represent an alternative therapeutic agent for disc degeneration.
