Popis: Objectives To elaborate on the relationship between degeneration grade and autophagy expression in human nucleus pulposus obtained from surgical procedures. Methods For the 16 patients included in the present study, we determined the Pfirrmann classifications of degenerative lesions by MRI. Western blot analysis, LC3, LAMP2, and p62 protein expressions were quantified in different degeneration grades of disc nucleus pulposus. Double immunofluorescence staining was used to show co‐localization of LC3 and LAMP2, and immunohistochemistry to show LC3 and p62 in the nucleus pulposus. Results In the western blot analysis, LC3‐II was highly expressed in grade III and decreased progressively from grade IV to V. In addition, LC3‐II expression in grade III was significantly higher than in grade II, IV, and V (P
