Objective  To summarize the research progress of microRNA (miRNA) and its non-viral vector in intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) and to investigate the potential of non-viral vector delivery of miRNA in clinical application. Methods  The related literature about the role of miRNA in IDD and its non-viral delivery system was reviewed and analyzed. Results  MiRNA can regulate the related gene expression level and further participate in the pathophysiologic process in degenerated intervertebral disc, miRNA delivered by various non-viral vectors has obtained an ideal effect in some diseases. Conclusion  MiRNA plays a great role in the cellular and molecular mechanisms of IDD, as a safe and effective strategy for gene therapy, non-viral vector provides new possibilities for IDD treated with miRNA.
