Objective To review the research status on the molecular basis of intervertebral disc degeneration and the repairing effect of platelet-rich plasma. Methods The related literature about the molecular basis of intervertebral disc degeneration and the repairing effect of platelet-rich plasma was reviewed, analyzed, and summarized. Results The molecular basis of intervertebral disc degeneration includes genetic influences, cell senescence, decreased matrix production, increased degradative enzyme production, proinflammatory cytokine expression, apoptosis, and neural ingrowth. Platelet-rich plasma can release a series of growth factors to promote intervertebral disc cells proliferation, differentiation, and extracellular matrix synthesis. It can also inhibit proinflammatory effect and apoptosis. Conclusion Although the prospect of using platelet-rich plasma to repair intervertebral disc degeneration is encouraging, further studies are still needed.
