Unraveling the molecular and immunological landscape: Exploring signaling pathways in osteoporosis. Biomed Pharmacother 2024; 177:116954. [PMID: 38906027 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2024.116954] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/19/2024] [Revised: 06/05/2024] [Accepted: 06/15/2024] [Indexed: 06/23/2024] Open
Abstract
Osteoporosis, characterized by compromised bone density and microarchitecture, represents a significant global health challenge, particularly in aging populations. This comprehensive review delves into the intricate signaling pathways implicated in the pathogenesis of osteoporosis, providing valuable insights into the pivotal role of signal transduction in maintaining bone homeostasis. The exploration encompasses cellular signaling pathways such as Wnt, Notch, JAK/STAT, NF-κB, and TGF-β, all of which play crucial roles in bone remodeling. The dysregulation of these pathways is a contributing factor to osteoporosis, necessitating a profound understanding of their complexities to unveil the molecular mechanisms underlying bone loss. The review highlights the pathological significance of disrupted signaling in osteoporosis, emphasizing how these deviations impact the functionality of osteoblasts and osteoclasts, ultimately resulting in heightened bone resorption and compromised bone formation. A nuanced analysis of the intricate crosstalk between these pathways is provided to underscore their relevance in the pathophysiology of osteoporosis. Furthermore, the study addresses some of the most crucial long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) associated with osteoporosis, adding an additional layer of academic depth to the exploration of immune system involvement in various types of osteoporosis. Finally, we propose that SKP1 can serve as a potential biomarker in osteoporosis.

Abstract
Peptic ulcers, recognized for their erosive impact on the gastrointestinal mucosa, present a considerable challenge in gastroenterology. Epidemiological insights underscore the global prevalence of peptic ulcers, affecting 5-10+% of individuals, with a yearly incidence of 0.3 to 1.9 cases per thousand. Recent decades have witnessed a decline in complications, attributed to improved diagnostics and therapeutic advancements. The review deepens into H. pylori-associated and NSAID-induced ulcers, emphasizing their distinct prevalence in developing and industrialized nations, respectively. Despite advancements, managing peptic ulcers remains challenging, notably in H. pylori-infected individuals facing recurrence and the rise of antibiotic resistance. The pathophysiology unravels the delicate balance between protective and destructive factors, including the intricate molecular mechanisms involving inflammatory mediators such as TNF-α, ILs, and prostaglandins. Genetic and ethnic factors, rare contributors, and recent molecular insights further enhance our understanding of peptic ulcer development. Diagnostic approaches are pivotal, with upper gastrointestinal endoscopy standing as the gold standard. Current treatment strategies focus on H. pylori eradication, NSAID discontinuation, and proton pump inhibitors. Surgical options become imperative for refractory cases, emphasizing a comprehensive approach. Advances include tailored H. pylori regimens, the emergence of vonoprazan, and ongoing vaccine development. Challenges persist, primarily in antibiotic resistance, side effects of acid suppressants, and translating natural compounds into standardized therapies. Promising avenues include the potential H. pylori vaccine and the exploration of natural compounds, with monoterpenes showing therapeutic promise. This review serves as a compass, guiding healthcare professionals, researchers, and policymakers through the intricate landscape of peptic ulcer management.

Abstract
Reduced bone mass and degeneration of the microarchitecture of bone tissue are the hallmarks of osteoporosis, a bone metabolic disease that increases skeletal fragility and fracture susceptibility. Osteoporosis is primarily caused by unbalanced bone remodeling, in which bone synthesis is outpaced by bone resorption caused by osteoclasts. Along with the bone-building vitamins calcium and vitamin D, typical medications for treating osteoporosis include bisphosphonates and calcitonin. The present therapies effectively stop osteoclast activation that is too high, however they come with varying degrees of negative effects. Numerous factors can contribute to osteoporosis, which is characterized by a loss of bone mass and density due to the deterioration of the bone's microstructure, which makes the bone more fragile. As a result, it is a systemic bone condition that makes patients more likely to fracture. Interest in the function of ferroptosis in the pathophysiology of osteoporosis is developing. In this review, we go through the shape of the cell, the fundamental mechanisms of ferroptosis, the relationship between osteoclasts and osteoblasts, the association between ferroptosis and diabetic osteoporosis, steroid-induced osteoporosis, and the relationship between ferroptosis and postmenopausal osteoporosis. The functions of ferroptosis and osteoporosis in cellular function, signaling cascades, pharmacological inhibition, and gene silencing have been better understood thanks to recent advances in biomedical research.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a widespread systemic disease characterized by a decrease in bone mass and an imbalance of the microarchitecture of bone tissue. Experimental and clinical studies devoted to investigating the main pathogenetic mechanisms of osteoporosis revealed the important role of estrogen deficiency, inflammation, oxidative stress, cellular senescence, and epigenetic factors in the development of bone resorption due to osteoclastogenesis, and decreased mineralization of bone tissue and bone formation due to reduced function of osteoblasts caused by apoptosis and age-depended differentiation of osteoblast precursors into adipocytes. The current review was conducted to describe the basic mechanisms of the development of osteoporosis at molecular and cellular levels and to elucidate the most promising therapeutic strategies of pathogenetic therapy of osteoporosis based on articles cited in PubMed up to September 2023.
