Abstract
Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) is the leading cause of low back pain, which is one of the major factors leading to disability and severe economic burden. Necroptosis is an important form of programmed cell death (PCD), a highly regulated caspase-independent type of cell death that is regulated by receptor-interacting protein kinase 1 (RIPK1), RIPK3 and mixed lineage kinase domain-like protein (MLKL)-mediated, play a key role in the pathophysiology of various inflammatory, infectious and degenerative diseases. Recent studies have shown that necroptosis plays an important role in the occurrence and development of IDD. In this review, we provide an overview of the initiation and execution of necroptosis and explore in depth its potential mechanisms of action in IDD. The analysis focuses on the connection between NP cell necroptosis and mitochondrial dysfunction-oxidative stress pathway, inflammation, endoplasmic reticulum stress, apoptosis, and autophagy. Finally, we evaluated the possibility of treating IDD by inhibiting necroptosis, and believed that targeting necroptosis may be a new strategy to alleviate the symptoms of IDD.

Abstract
Intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) has been considered a major cause of low back pain. Therefore, further molecular subtypes of IVDD and identification of potential critical genes are urgently needed. First, consensus clustering was used to classify patients with IVDD into two subtypes and key module genes for subtyping were identified using weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA). Then, key module genes for the disease were identified by WGCNA. Subsequently, SVM and GLM were used to identify hub genes. Based on the above genes, a nomogram was constructed to predict the subtypes of IVDD. Finally, we find that ROM1 is lowered in IVDD and is linked to various cancer prognoses. The present work offers innovative diagnostic and therapeutic biomarkers for molecular subtypes of IVDD.

Abstract
Low back pain (LBP) is a major public health problem worldwide and a significant health and economic burden. Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) is the reason for LBP. However, we have not identified effective therapeutic strategies to address this challenge. With accumulating knowledge on the role of circular RNAs in the pathogenesis of IDD, we realised that circular RNAs (circRNAs) may have tremendous therapeutic potential and clinical application prospects in this field. This review presents an overview of the current understanding of characteristics, classification, biogenesis, and function of circRNAs and summarises the protective and detrimental circRNAs involved in the intervertebral disc that have been studied thus far. This review is aimed to help researchers better understand the regulatory role of circRNAs in the progression of IDD, reveal their clinical therapeutic potential, and provide a theoretical basis for the prevention and targeted treatment of IDD.
