lncRNA NEAT1 induces the matrix degradation of nucleus pulposus cells. a Expression level of lncRNA NEAT1 in control and pcDNA-NEAT1 groups. b LncRNA NEAT1 promoted the proliferation of nucleus pulposus cells at 24, 48 and 72 h. c Expression of catabolic biomarkers (MMP-3 and MMP-13) and anabolic biomarkers (Col II and Aggrecan) in control and pcDNA-NEAT1 groups. d Western blot assay to measure the expression of catabolic biomarkers (MMP-3 and MMP-13) and anabolic biomarkers (Col II and Aggrecan) in control and pcDNA-NEAT1 groups. *p < 0.05
