Outline of Final Research Achievements

mTORC1 suppression through RNAi for Raptor showed protective effects against human NP cell apoptosis, senescence, and matrix degradation. This study suggests that selective inhibition for mTORC1 but not mTORC2 is beneficial to human NP cells, which depends on Akt as well as autophagy induction. Thus, Raptor is a potent target for new molecular treatments for human degenerative disc disease. And also, in our results, the first generation mTOR inhibitors suppressed mTOR signaling, induced autophagy and Akt, and showed protective effects against human disc NP cell apoptosis and senescence. In clinical use, adverse immunosuppression of mTOR inhibitors would recommend its local intra-discal injection rather than its systemic administration. To accomplish successful local delivery of agents, water solubility is a key factor. Therefore, intra-discal injection of temsirolimus that has improved water solubility is a potential therapeutic application to human degenerative disc disease.
