Senescence of nucleus pulposus (NP) cells is involved in the pathological process of intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD). HMG-box transcription factor 1 (HBP1) is a transcriptional inhibitor that prevents proliferation and regulates premature senescence of cells. The aim of this study was to confirm whether HBP1 deficiency could protect stress-induced NP cells premature senescence. Firstly, HBP1 protein level in human degenerated intervertebral disc tissues was detected. Then, NP cells were isolated from disc samples and trans
