Exogenous stem cell therapy and endogenous repair has shown great potential in intervertebral disc regeneration. However, limited nutrients and accumulation of lactate largely impair the survival and regenerative capacity of implanted stem cells and endogenous nucleus pulposus cells (NPCs). Herein, an injectable hydrogel microsphere (LMGDNPs) have been developed by immersing lactate oxidase (LOX)-manganese dioxide (MnO2) nanozyme (LM) into glucose-enriched decellularized nucleus pulposus hydrogel microspheres (GDNPs) through a microfluidic system. LMGDNPs showed a delayed release profile of LOX and satisfactory enzymatic capacity in consuming lactate. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) plated on LMGDNPs exhibited better cell viability than cells on GelMA and decellularized nucleus pulposus microspheres (DNP) and showed a obviously increased NPCs phenotype. LMGDNPs prevented MSCs and NPCs death and promoted extracellular matrix synthesis by exhausting lactate. It is determined that LMGDNPs promoted NPCs autophagy by activating transforming growth factor beta 2 overlapping transcript 1 (TGFB2-OT1), relying on the nanozyme. MSCs-loaded LMGDNPs largely preserved disc hydration and alleviated matrix degradation in vivo. Summarily, LMGDNPs promoted cell survival and matrix regeneration by providing a nutrient supply, exhausting lactate, and activating autophagy via TGFB2-OT1 and its downstream pathway and may serve as an ideal delivery system for exogenous stem cell therapy and endogenous repair. LOX-MnO2 nanozyme-loaded glucose-rich nucleus pulposus matrix hydrogel-based microspheres (LMGDNPs), as carriers of exogenous stem cells, induce directional differentiation of stem cells into nucleus pulposus cells. LMGDNPs reduce cell death and extracellular matrix breakdown by consuming lactate. LM released from LMGDNPs promotes the formation of autophagosomes through the TGFB2-OT1/miRNAs/ATGs/NAT8L/CERS1 pathway and consumes lactate to inhibit the blocking effect of lactate on autophagy flow, thereby activating autophagy, promoting cell survival and matrix regeneration.image
