Low back pain caused by intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) has become an important disease affecting human health, the current conservative treatment and surgical treatment cannot prevent its progression. Therefore, targeted therapy starting from the molecular level has become a current research hotspot. The matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) carried by exosomes are closely related to the disorder of extracellular matrix (ECM) components in the IVDD process, MMP-1, MMP-2,MMP-3, MMP-9, and MMP-14 overexpression is positively correlated with the severity of IVDD. MMP-8, MMP-10, and MMP-12 also participate in the occurrence and progression of IVDD to varying degrees, but the specific mechanism is still unclear. Therefore,in-depth study of the mechanism of MMP-8, MMP-10, MMP-12 involved in the occurrence of IVDD, and the development of targeted drugs for exosomes and MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-3, MMP-9, MMP-14 have certain potential value to the molecular level treatment of IVDD. This article aims to summarize the recent research progress in the involvement of MMPs carried by exosomes in the process of IVDD, in order to provide new targets and directions for the treatment of IVDD at the molecular level.
