Metformin has been the go‑to medical treatment for addressing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) as a frontline oral antidiabetic. Obesity, cancer and bone deterioration are linked to T2DM, which is considered a metabolic illness. Numerous diseases associated with T2DM, such as tumours, cardiovascular disease and bone deterioration, may be treated with metformin. Intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) is distinguished by degeneration of the spinal disc, accompanied by the gradual depletion of proteoglycans and water in the nucleus pulposus (NP) of the IVD, resulting in lower back pain. The therapeutic effect of metformin on IVDD has also attracted much attention. By stimulating AMP‑activated kinase, metformin could enhance autophagy and suppress cell senescence, apoptosis and inflammation, thus effectively delaying IVDD. The present review aimed to systematically explain the development of IVDD and mechanism of metformin in the treatment and prevention of IVDD to provide a reference for the clinical application of metformin as adjuvant therapy in the treatment of IVDD.
二甲双胍一直是治疗 2 型糖尿病(T2DM)的一线口服抗糖尿病药物。肥胖症、癌症和骨恶化与 T2DM 有关,T2DM 被认为是一种代谢疾病。二甲双胍可用于治疗许多与 T2DM 相关的疾病,如肿瘤、心血管疾病和骨恶化。椎间盘退行性变(IVDD)的特征是椎间盘退变,伴随着椎间盘核(NP)中蛋白聚糖和水分的逐渐耗尽,导致腰痛。二甲双胍对 IVDD 的治疗作用也引起了广泛关注。通过刺激 AMP 激活的蛋白激酶,二甲双胍可以增强自噬并抑制细胞衰老、凋亡和炎症,从而有效延缓 IVDD。本综述旨在系统阐述 IVDD 的发生发展以及二甲双胍在治疗和预防 IVDD 中的作用机制,为二甲双胍作为辅助治疗药物治疗 IVDD 的临床应用提供参考。
