摘　　要：The protective effect of niacinamide on interleukin-1β （IL-1β）-induced annulus fibrosus （AF） type Ⅱ collagen degeneration in vitro and the mechanism were investigated, Chiba＇s intervertebral disc （IVD） culture models in rabbits were established and 48 IVDs from 12 adult Japanese white rabbits were randomly divided into 4 groups： normal control group, niacinamide-treated group, type Ⅱ collagen degneration group （IL-1 β） and treatment group （niacinamide＋IL-1 β）, After culture for one week, AFs were collected for inducible nitric oxide synthase （iNOS）, cysteine containing aspartate specific protease-3 （Caspase-3） and type Ⅱ collagen immunohistochemical examination, and type Ⅱ collagen reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction （RT-PCR）. The results showed that rate of iNOS positive staining AF cells in the 4 groups was 17.6%, 10.9%, 73.9% and 19.3% respectively, The positive rate in treatment group was significantly lower than in the type Ⅱ collagen degeneration group （P〈0.01）. Rate of Caspase-3 positive staining AF cells in the 4 groups was 3.4%, 4.2%, 17.6% and 10.3% respectively. The positive rate in treatment group was lower than in the type Ⅱ collagen degeneration- group （P〈0.01）. Type Ⅱ collagen staining demonstrated that lamellar structure and continuity of collagen in treatment group was better reversed than in the degeneration group. RT-PCR revealed that the expression of type Ⅱ collagen in treatment group was significantly stronger than that in type Ⅱ collagen degeneration group （P〈0.01）, It was concluded that niacinamide could effectively inhibit IL-1β stimulated increase of iNOS and Caspase-3 in AF, and alleviate IL-1β-caused destruction and synthesis inhibition of type Ⅱ collagen, Niacinamide is of potential for clinical treatment of IVD degeneration.The protective effect of niacinamide on interleukin-1β （IL-1β）-induced annulus fibrosus （AF） type Ⅱ collagen degeneration in vitro and the mechanism were investigated, Chiba＇s intervertebral disc （IVD） culture models in rabbits were established and 48 IVDs from 12 adult Japanese white rabbits were randomly divided into 4 groups： normal control group, niacinamide-treated group, type Ⅱ collagen degneration group （IL-1 β） and treatment group （niacinamide＋IL-1 β）, After culture for one week, AFs were collected for inducible nitric oxide synthase （iNOS）, cysteine containing aspartate specific protease-3 （Caspase-3） and type Ⅱ collagen immunohistochemical examination, and type Ⅱ collagen reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction （RT-PCR）.
