Experimental analysis of circular RNA in intervertebral disk degeneration (IDD). ⋯ Circ-CDR1as binds to miR-432-5p and plays a protective role in mitigating compression-induced NP cell apoptosis and ECM degradation by targeting SOX9. Circ-CDR1as may provide a novel therapeutic target for the clinical management of IDD in the future.
