Abstract:Intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) is a core pathological process underlying chronic low back pain, involving nucleus pulposus cell apoptosis, extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation, and inflammatory microenvironment imbalance. Exosomal non-coding RNA, with their multi-target regulatory capacity, represent a promising strategy to reverse IVDD progression. This review proposes a three-dimensional framework integrating "multi-cellular sources, non-coding RNA interactions, and pathological repair" to systematically summarize the regulatory networks and translational potential of exosomal non-coding RNA in IVDD treatment. We further highlight the need to address current limitations, including imbalanced mechanistic studies and cell-type specificity barriers, by deciphering ncRNA crosstalk and advancing biomimetic delivery systems to accelerate clinical translation.
