Leptin Induces Cyclin D1 Expression and Proliferation of Human Nucleus Pulposus Cells via JAK/STAT, PI3K/Akt and MEK/ERK Pathways

Increasing evidence suggests that obesity and aberrant proliferation of nucleus pulposus (NP) cells are associated with intervertebral disc degeneration. Leptin, a hormone with increased circulating level in obesity, has been shown to stimulate cell proliferation in a tissue-dependent manner. Nevert...
