Abstract	Background Increasing studies have shown degeneration of nucleus pulposus cells (NPCs) as an critical part of the progression of intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD). However, there are relatively few studies on single-cell transcriptome contrasts in human degenerated NPCs. Moreover, differences in Wnt/Ca2+ signaling in human degenerated nucleus pulposus cells have not been elucidated. The aim of this study is to investigate the differential expression of Wnt/Ca2+ signaling pathway between normal and degenerated nucleus pulposus cells in humans and try to investigate its mechanism. Methods We performed bioinformatics analysis using our previously published findings to construct single cell expression profiles of normal and degenerated nucleus pulposus. Then, in-depth differential analysis was used to characterize the expression of Wnt/Ca2+ signaling pathway between normal and degenerated nucleus pulposus cells in humans. Results The obtained cell data were clustered into five different chondrocytes clusters, which chondrocyte 4 and chondrocyte 5 mainly accounted for a high proportion in degenerated nucleus pulposus tissues, but rarely in normal nucleus pulposus tissues. Genes associated within the Wnt/Ca2+ signaling pathway, such as Wnt5B, FZD1, PLC (PLCB1), CaN (PPP3CA) and NAFATC1 are mainly present in chondrocyte 3, chondrocyte 4 and chondrocyte 5 from degenerated nucleus pulposus tissues. In addition, as a receptor that activates Wnt signaling pathway, LRP5 is mainly highly expressed in chondrocyte 5 of degenerated nucleus pulposus cells. Six genes, ANGPTL4, PTGES, IGFBP3, GDF15, TRIB3 and TNFRSF10B, which are associated with apoptosis and inflammatory responses, and are widespread in chondrocyte 4 and chondrocyte 5, may be closely related to degenerative of nucleus pulposus cells. Conclusions Single-cell RNA sequencing revealed differential expression of Wnt/Ca2+ signaling in human normal and degenerated nucleus pulposus cells, and this differential expression may be closely related to the abundance of chondrocyte 4 and chondrocyte 5 in degenerated nucleus pulposus cells. In degenerated nucleus pulposus cells, LRP5 activate Wnt5B, which promotes nucleus pulposus cell apoptosis and inflammatory response by regulating the Wnt/Ca2+ signaling pathway, thereby promoting disc degeneration. ANGPTL4, IGFBP3, PTGES in chondrocyte 4 and TRIB3, GDF15, TNFRSF10B in chondrocyte 5 may play an important role in this process.
