Methods: The expression levels of inflammatory factors IL-6, IL-8, IL-15, IFN-a, TNF-a and TRPC6 were analyzed by RT-PCR, and the correlation between inflammatory factors and Pfirrmann grade and inflammatory factors was analyzed. Results: The mRNA expression levels of IL-6, IL-8, IL-15, TNF - a and TRPC6 were significantly higher in Pfirrmann grade IV-V than in Pfirrmann grade II-III (P&amp;lt; 0.05), and IFN-a expression level in IV-V intervertebral disc samples was significantly lower than that in II-III discs (P&amp;lt;0.05); The mRNA expression levels of IL-6, IL-8, IL-15, TNF - a and TRPC6 were positively correlated with pfirmann grading (P&amp;lt;0.05), IFN - a was negatively correlated with pfirmann grading (P&amp;lt;0.05), IL-6, IL-8, IL-15, TNF - a and TRPC6 were positively correlated with each other(P&amp;lt;0.05), IFN - a was negatively correlated with IL-6, IL-8, IL-15, TNF-a and TRPC6(P&amp;lt;0.05). Conclusion: IL-6, IL-8, IL-15, IFN-a, TNF- a and TRPC6 are closely related to the degree of cervical disc degeneration.</abstract><keywords/></article-meta></front><body/><back><ref-list/></back></article>
