Abstract
The silencing regulatory factor 2-like protein 3 (SIRT3) is a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) dependent deacetylase located primarily in the mitochondria. This protein plays an important role in oxidative stress, energy metabolism, and autophagy in multicellular organisms. Autophagy (macroautophagy) is primarily a cytoprotective mechanism necessary for intracellular homeostasis and the synthesis, degradation, and recycling of cellular products. Autophagy can influence the progression of several neural, cardiac, hepatic, and renal diseases and can also contribute to the development of fibrosis, diabetes, and many types of cancer. Recent studies have shown that SIRT3 has an important role in regulating autophagy. Therefore in this study, we aimed to perform a literature review to summarize the role of SIRT3 in the regulation of cellular autophagy. The findings of this study could be used to identify new drug targets for SIRT3-related diseases. Methods: A comprehensive literature review of the mechanism involved behind SIRT3 and autophagy-related diseases was performed. Relevant literature published in Pubmed and Web of Science up to July 2023 was identified using the keywords "silencing regulatory factor 2-like protein 3", "SIRT3" and "autophagy".

Cai Y, Jun G, Zhuang X. Metformin treatment reduces the incidence of osteoporosis: a two-sample Mendelian randomized study. Osteoporos Int 2024; 35:1089-1098. [PMID: 38536446 PMCID: PMC11136748 DOI: 10.1007/s00198-023-07013-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/27/2023] [Accepted: 12/26/2023] [Indexed: 05/30/2024]
Abstract
It remains unclear whether the association between metformin and osteoporosis (OP) risk is causal. This two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) study suggests a causal relationship between metformin treatment and a decrease in OP and fracture incidence, as well as an increase in bone mineral density (BMD) in the lumbar spine, femoral neck, and heel. Nonetheless, no significant causal effect is observed on forearm BMD. PURPOSE We utilize a MR approach to investigate the association between metformin treatment and the risk of OP. METHODS Metformin treatment was selected as exposures. Outcomes included OP; BMD at the forearm (FA), femoral neck (FN), and lumbar spine (LS); estimated heel bone mineral density (eBMD); and fracture. Summary statistics for exposures and outcomes were obtained from corresponding genome-wide association studies. Inverse variance-weighted (IVW) analysis was mainly applied; the weighted median (WM), penalized weighted median (PWM), maximum likelihood (ML), and MR-Egger regression (MR-Egger) method were also used to obtain robust estimates. A series of sensitivity analyses including Cochran's Q test, MR-Egger regression, leave-one-out analysis, and Mendelian randomization pleiotropy residual sum and outlier (MR-PRESSO) were used to detect pleiotropy or heterogeneity. RESULTS In the main analysis, IVW estimates demonstrated that metformin treatment had a definite causal effect on the risk of OP (odds ratio (OR): 0.859, 95% CI: 0.774-0.953, P = 0.004), LS-BMD (OR: 1.063, 95% CI: 1.023-1.105, P = 0.002), FN-BMD (OR: 1.034, 95% CI: 1.000-1.069, P = 0.049), eBMD (OR: 1.035, 95% CI: 1.023-1.047, P ≤ 0.001), and fracture(OR: 0.958, 95% CI: 0.928-0.989, P = 0.008). However, it did not have an effect on FA-BMD(OR: 1.050, 95% CI: 0.969-1.138, P = 0.237). CONCLUSIONS This study indicated that metformin treatment is significantly associated with a reduction in the risk of OP, fracture and higher LS-BMD, FN-BMD, and eBMD. However, there was no significant association with FA-BMD.

Metformin prevents mandibular bone loss in a mouse model of accelerated aging by correcting dysregulated AMPK-mTOR signaling and osteoclast differentiation. J Orthop Translat 2024; 46:129-142. [PMID: 38867742 PMCID: PMC11167204 DOI: 10.1016/j.jot.2024.03.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/26/2023] [Revised: 03/02/2024] [Accepted: 03/08/2024] [Indexed: 06/14/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Age-related mandibular osteoporosis frequently causes loose teeth, difficulty eating, and disfiguration in elders. Bmi1-/- mice displaying accelerated skeletal aging represent a useful model for testing interventions against premature jaw bone loss. As an anti-aging agent, metformin may ameliorate molecular dysfunction driving osteoporosis pathogenesis. We explored the mechanisms of mandibular osteopenia in Bmi1-/- mice and prevention by metformin treatment. Methods Three mouse groups were utilized: wild-type controls, untreated Bmi1-/-, and Bmi1-/- receiving 1 g/kg metformin diet. Mandibular bone phenotype was assessed by X-ray, micro-CT, histology, and immunohistochemistry. AMPK-mTOR pathway analysis, senescence markers, osteoblast and osteoclast gene expression were evaluated in jaw tissue. Osteoclast differentiation capacity and associated signaling molecules were examined in cultured Bmi1-/- bone marrow mononuclear cells ± metformin. Results Bmi1 loss reduced mandible bone density concomitant with decreased AMPK activity, increased mTOR signaling and cellular senescence in jaw tissue versus wild-type controls. This was accompanied by impaired osteoblast function and upregulated osteoclastogenesis markers. Metformin administration normalized AMPK-mTOR balance, oxidative stress and senescence signaling to significantly improve mandibular bone architecture in Bmi1-/- mice. In culture, metformin attenuated excessive osteoclast differentiation from Bmi1-/- marrow precursors by correcting dysregulated AMPK-mTOR-p53 pathway activity and suppressing novel pro-osteoclastogenic factor Stfa1. Conclusions Our study newly demonstrates metformin prevents accelerated jaw bone loss in a premature aging murine model by rectifying molecular dysfunction in cellular energy sensors, redox state, senescence and osteoclastogenesis pathways. Targeting such age-associated mechanisms contributing to osteoporosis pathogenesis may help maintain oral health and aesthetics in the growing elderly population. Translational potential The pronounced mandibular osteopenia exhibited in Bmi1-/- mice represents an accelerated model of jaw bone deterioration observed during human aging. Our finding that metformin preserves mandibular bone integrity in this progeroid model has important clinical implications. As an inexpensive oral medication already widely used to manage diabetes, metformin holds translational promise for mitigating age-related osteoporosis. The mandible is essential for chewing, swallowing, speech and facial structure, but progressively loses bone mass and strength with advancing age, significantly impacting seniors' nutrition, physical function and self-image. Our results suggest metformin's ability to rectify cellular energy imbalance, oxidative stress and osteoclast overactivity may help maintain jaw bone health into old age. Further research is still needed given metformin's multifaceted biology and bone regulation by diverse pathways. However, this preclinical study provides a strong rationale for clinical trials specifically examining mandibular outcomes in elderly subjects receiving standard metformin treatment for diabetes or prediabetes. Determining if metformin supplementation can prevent or delay oral disability and disfigurement from senescent jaw bone loss in the growing aged population represents an important public health priority. In summary, our mechanistic findings in a genetic mouse model indicate metformin merits investigation in rigorous human studies for alleviating morbidity associated with age-related mandibular osteoporosis.

Abstract
Osteoporosis (OP) is a common age-related disease. OP is mainly a decrease in bone density and mass caused by the destruction of bone microstructure, which leads to an increase in bone fragility. SIRT3 is a mitochondrial deacetylase that plays critical roles in mitochondrial homeostasis, metabolic regulation, gene transcription, stress response, and gene stability. Studies have shown that the higher expression levels of SIRT3 are associated with decreased levels of oxidative stress in the body and may play important roles in the prevention of age-related diseases. SIRTs can enhance the osteogenic potential and osteoblastic activity of bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells not only by enhancing PGC-1α, FOXO3, SOD2, and oxidative phosphorylation, but also by anti-aging and reducing mitochondrial autophagy. SIRT3 is able to upregulate antioxidant enzymes to exert an inhibitory effect on osteoclasts, however, it has been shown that the inflammatory cascade response can in turn increase SIRT3 and inhibit osteoclast differentiation through the AMPK-PGC-1β pathway. SIRT3 plays an important role in different types of osteoporosis by affecting osteoblasts, osteoclasts, and bone marrow mesenchymal cells. In this review, we discuss the classification and physiological functions of SIRTs, the effects of SIRT3 on OCs osteoblasts, and BMSCs, and the roles and mechanisms of SIRT3 in different types of OP, such as diabetic OP, glucocorticoid-induced OP, postmenopausal OP, and senile OP.

Abstract
Osteoporosis (OP) is a prevalent age-related disease that is characterized by a decrease in bone mineral density (BMD) and systemic bone microarchitectural disorders. With age, senescent cells accumulate and exhibit the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) in bone tissue, leading to the imbalance of bone homeostasis, osteopenia, changes in trabecular bone structure, and increased bone fragility. Cellular senescence in the bone microenvironment involves osteoblasts, osteoclasts, and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs), whose effects on bone homeostasis are regulated by epigenetics. Therefore, the epigenetic regulatory mechanisms of cellular senescence have received considerable attention as potential targets for preventing and treating osteoporosis. In this paper, we systematically review the mechanisms of aging-associated epigenetic regulation in osteoporosis, emphasizing the impact of epigenetics on cellular senescence, and summarize three current methods of targeting cellular senescence, which is helpful better to understand the pathogenic mechanisms of cellular senescence in osteoporosis and provides strategies for the development of epigenetic drugs for the treatment of osteoporosis.

Abstract
Bone homeostasis refers to the balance between osteoblast-mediated bone formation and osteoclast-mediated bone resorption and the maintenance of stable bone mass. SIRT3 is a class of mitochondrial protein deacetylase that influences various mitochondrial functions and is involved in the mechanisms underlying resistance to aging; regulation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, osteoblasts, and osteoclasts; and development of osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, and other bone diseases. Moreover, exercise affects bones through SIRT3. Thus, studies on SIRT3 may provide insights for the treatment of bone diseases. Although SIRT3 can exert multiple effects on bone, the specific mechanism by which it regulates bone homeostasis remains unclear. By evaluating the relevant literature, this review discusses the structure and function of SIRT3, reveals the role and associated mechanisms of SIRT3 in regulating bone homeostasis and mediating bone health during exercise, and highlights the potential pharmacological value of SIRT3 in treating bone diseases.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Metformin is an anti-glycemic agent, which is widely prescribed to diabetes patients. Although its alleged role on bone strength has been reported for some time, this review focuses primarily on the recent mechanistical insights of metformin on osteocytes, osteoblasts, and osteoclasts. RECENT FINDINGS Overall, metformin contributed to steering anabolic activity in osteocytes. It caused lower expression in osteocytes of the negative regulators of bone formation sclerostin and DKK1. Likewise, the osteoclastogenesis function of osteoblasts was also skewed towards lower RANKL and higher OPG expressions. Osteoblast lineage cells generally responded to metformin by activating bone formation parameters, such as alkaline phosphatase activity, higher expression of anabolic members of the Wnt pathway, transcription factor Runx2, bone matrix protein proteins, and subsequent mineralization. Metformin affected osteoclast formation and activity in a negative way, reducing the number of multinucleated cells in association with lower expression of typical osteoclast markers and with inhibited resorption. A common denominator studied in all three cell types is its beneficial effect on activating phosphorylated AMP kinase (AMPK) which is associated with the coordination of energy metabolism. Metformin differentially affects bone cells, shifting the balance to more bone formation. Although metformin is a drug prescribed for diabetic patients, the overall bone anabolic effects on osteocytes and osteoblasts and the anti-catabolic effect on osteoclast suggest that metformin could be seen as a promising drug in the bone field.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is becoming a major concern in the field of public health. The process of bone loss is insidious and does not directly induce obvious symptoms. Complications indicate an irreversible decrease in bone mass. The high-risk populations of osteoporosis, including postmenopausal women, elderly men, diabetic patients and obese individuals need regular bone mineral density testing and appropriate preventive treatment. However, the primary changes in these populations are different, increasing the difficulty of effective treatment of osteoporosis. Determining the core pathogenesis of osteoporosis helps improve the efficiency and efficacy of treatment among these populations. Oxidative stress is a common pathological state secondary to estrogen deficiency, aging, hyperglycemia and hyperlipemia. In this review, we divided oxidative stress into the direct effect of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the reduction of antioxidant enzyme activity to discuss their roles in the development of osteoporosis. ROS initiated mitochondrial apoptotic signaling and suppressed osteogenic marker expression to weaken osteogenesis. MAPK and NF-κB signaling pathways mediated the positive effect of ROS on osteoclast differentiation. Antioxidant enzymes not only eliminate the negative effects of ROS, but also directly participate in the regulation of bone metabolism. Additionally, we also described the roles of proinflammatory factors and HIF-1α under the pathophysiological changes of inflammation and hypoxia, which provided a supplement of oxidative stress-induced osteoporosis. In conclusion, our review showed that oxidative stress was a common pathological state in a high-risk population for osteoporosis. Targeted oxidative stress treatment would greatly optimize the therapeutic schedule of various osteoporosis treatments.

Abstract
Mitochondria are important organelles that provide cellular energy and play a vital role in cell differentiation and apoptosis. Osteoporosis is a chronic metabolic bone disease mainly caused by an imbalance in osteoblast and osteoclast activity. Under physiological conditions, mitochondria regulate the balance between osteogenesis and osteoclast activity and maintain bone homeostasis. Under pathological conditions, mitochondrial dysfunction alters this balance; this disruption is important in the pathogenesis of osteoporosis. Because of the role of mitochondrial dysfunction in osteoporosis, mitochondrial function can be targeted therapeutically in osteoporosis-related diseases. This article reviews different aspects of the pathological mechanism of mitochondrial dysfunction in osteoporosis, including mitochondrial fusion and fission, mitochondrial biogenesis, and mitophagy, and highlights targeted therapy of mitochondria in osteoporosis (diabetes induced osteoporosis and postmenopausal osteoporosis) to provide novel targets and prevention strategies for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis and other chronic bone diseases.

LCZ696 protects against doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity by inhibiting ferroptosis via AKT/SIRT3/SOD2 signaling pathway activation. Int Immunopharmacol 2022; 113:109379. [PMID: 36330913 DOI: 10.1016/j.intimp.2022.109379] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/01/2022] [Revised: 10/06/2022] [Accepted: 10/17/2022] [Indexed: 11/05/2022]
Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) is an effective and widely used anticancer drug but has limited clinical applicability because of its cardiotoxicity. Ferroptosis plays a key role in DOX-induced cardiac damage and cardiomyocyte cell death. The inhibition of ferroptosis reverses DOX-induced cardiotoxicity (DIC). LCZ696, a first-in-class angiotensin receptor neprilysin inhibitor, protects against DIC. However, the mechanism of action of LCZ696, especially its effect on ferroptosis, is incompletely understood. This study investigates the cardioprotective effects of LCZ696 on DIC in vivo and in vitro.Cardiotoxicity was induced in Wistar rats by tail intravenous injection of 2.5 mg/kg DOX once a week for six weeks. Rats and H9c2 cells were treated with or without LCZ696 to determine the cardioprotective role and underlying mechanisms of LCZ696 against DIC. To assess the role of SIRT3 and correlated pathways in ferroptosis, SIRT3 knockout was performed using lentiviral vectors, and AKT was inhibited with LY294002. LCZ696 significantly attenuated DIC by decreasing the concentrations of lipid reactive oxygen species and malondialdehyde and increasing the levels of glutathione peroxidase-4 and reduced glutathione in cells and heart tissues. Moreover, LCZ696 remodeled myocardial structures and improved heart ventricular function in DOX-treated rats. LCZ696 treatment increased SIRT3 expression and deacetylated its target gene SOD2, and these changes were mediated by AKT activation. SIRT3 knockdown and AKT inhibition induced lipid peroxidation and reduced the protective effect of LCZ696 in H9c2 cells. Collectively,LCZ696 prevents DIC by inhibiting ferroptosis via AKT/SIRT3/SOD2 signaling pathway activation. Thus, LZC696 is a potential therapeutic strategy for DIC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Metformin (MET) is widely used as a first-line hypoglycemic agent for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and was also confirmed to have a therapeutic effect on type 2 diabetic osteoporosis (T2DOP). However, the potential mechanisms of MET in the treatment of T2DOP are unclear. OBJECTIVE To clarify the effect of MET in T2DOP and to explore the potential mechanism of MET in the treatment of T2DOP. METHODS In vitro, we used MC3T3-E1 cells to study the effects of MET on osteogenic differentiation and anti-oxidative stress injury in a high glucose (Glucose 25 mM) environment. In vivo, we directly used db/db mice as a T2DOP model and assessed the osteoprotective effects of MET by Micro CT and histological analysis. RESULTS In vitro, we found that MET increased ALP activity in MC3T3-E1 cells in a high-glucose environment, promoted the formation of bone mineralized nodules, and upregulated the expression of the osteogenesis-related transcription factors RUNX2, Osterix, and COL1A1-related genes. In addition, MET was able to reduce high glucose-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. In studies on the underlying mechanisms, we found that MET activated the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway and alleviated high-glucose-induced oxidative stress injury. In vivo results showed that MET reduced bone loss and bone microarchitecture destruction in db/db mice. CONCLUSION Our results suggest that MET can activate the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway to regulate the inhibition of osteogenic differentiation induced by high glucose thereby protecting T2DOP.

Abstract
Melatonin is an important endogenous hormone that modulates homeostasis in the microenvironment. Recent studies have indicated that serum melatonin levels are closely associated with the occurrence and development of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. Exogenous melatonin could also improve bone mass and increase skeletal strength. To determine the underlying mechanisms of melatonin in the prevention and treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis, we performed this review to analyze the role of melatonin in bone metabolism according to its physiological functions. Serum melatonin is related to bone mass, the measurement of which is a potential method for the diagnosis of osteoporosis. Melatonin has a direct effect on bone remodeling by promoting osteogenesis and suppressing osteoclastogenesis. Melatonin also regulates the biological rhythm of bone tissue, which benefits its osteogenic effect. Additionally, melatonin participates in the modulation of the bone microenvironment. Melatonin attenuates the damage induced by oxidative stress and inflammation on osteoblasts and prevents osteolysis from reactive oxygen species and inflammatory factors. As an alternative drug for osteoporosis, melatonin can improve the gut ecology, remodel microbiota composition, regulate substance absorption and maintain metabolic balance, all of which are beneficial to the health of bone structure. In conclusion, our review systematically demonstrates the effects of melatonin on bone metabolism. Based on the evidence in this review, melatonin will play a more important role in the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis.

Abstract
Accumulation of lipid substances decreased the activity of osteoblasts. Trehalose is a typical stress metabolite to form a protective membrane on cell surface which has been demonstrated to regulate lipid metabolism. This activity of Trehalose indicates the potential effect of osteoporosis treatment. Our study aimed to determine the therapeutic effect of Trehalose in high fat-induced osteoporosis. We used palmitic acid (PA) to mimic the state of high fat and observed the apoptosis ratio of osteoblasts increased. After adding Trehalose, the apoptosis ratio decreased obviously. Autophagy is a regulatory means involved in the process of apoptosis. We detected the autophagy protein and found that the expression of Beclin-1, Atg5, and LC3 II increased, and p62 decreased after Trehalose treatment. When adding an autophagy inhibitor (3-MA), the expression of Beclin-1, Atg5, and LC3 II decreased, and p62 increased. These results indicated autophagy was an important factor involved in the preventive effect of Trehalose in PA-induced apoptosis. SIRT3 is a mitochondrial gene that can inhibit apoptosis, which has been reported to promote autophagy. We used SIRT3-siRNA to silence the expression of SIRT3 and found the effect of Trehalose was counteracted. The apoptosis ratio increased and the expression of Beclin-1, Atg5, and LC3 II decreased, p62 increased. Additionally, we also fed the mice with a high-fat diet (HFD) and intragastrical Trehalose. The results showed that Trehalose could inhibit the bone mass loss with HFD. Our study revealed the effect and mechanism of Trehalose in the treatment of osteoporosis.

Abstract
Metformin is a widely accepted first-line hypoglycemic agent in current clinical practice, and it has been applied to the clinic for more than 60 years. Recently, researchers have identified that metformin not only has an efficient capacity to lower glucose but also exerts anti-aging effects by regulating intracellular signaling molecules. With the accelerating aging process and mankind’s desire for a long and healthy life, studies on aging have witnessed an unprecedented boom. Osteoporosis, sarcopenia, degenerative osteoarthropathy, and frailty are age-related diseases of the musculoskeletal system. The decline in motor function is a problem that many elderly people have to face, and in serious cases, they may even fail to self-care, and their quality of life will be seriously reduced. Therefore, exploring potential treatments to effectively prevent or delay the progression of aging-related diseases is essential to promote healthy aging. In this review, we first briefly describe the origin of metformin and the aging of the movement system, and next review the evidence associated with its ability to extend lifespan. Furthermore, we discuss the mechanisms related to the modulation of aging in the musculoskeletal system by metformin, mainly its contribution to bone homeostasis, muscle aging, and joint degeneration. Finally, we analyze the protective benefits of metformin in aging-related diseases of the musculoskeletal system.

Abstract
At present, the drug treatment of osteoporosis is mostly focused on inhibiting osteoclastogenesis, which has relatively poor effects. Metformin is a drug that can potentially promote osteogenic differentiation and improve bone mass in postmenopausal women. We aimed to detect the molecular mechanism underlying the osteogenic effect of metformin. Our study indicated that metformin obviously increased the Alkaline phosphatase activity and expression of osteogenic marker genes at the mRNA and protein levels. The PI3K/AKT signaling pathway was revealed to play an essential role in the metformin-induced osteogenic process, as shown by RNA sequencing. We added LY294002 to inhibit the PI3K/AKT pathway, and the results indicated that the osteogenic effect of metformin was also blocked. Additionally, the sequencing data also indicated oxidation-reduction reaction was involved in the osteogenic process of osteoblasts. We used H2O2 to mimic the oxidative damage of osteoblasts, but metformin could attenuate it. Antioxidative Nrf2/HO-1 pathway, regarded as the downstream of PI3K/AKT pathway, was modulated by metformin in the protective process. We also revealed that metformin could improve bone mass and oxidative level of OVX mice. In conclusion, our study revealed that metformin promoted osteogenic differentiation and H2O2-induced oxidative damage of osteoblasts via the PI3K/AKT/Nrf2/HO-1 pathway.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The analysis of the role of the mitochondria in oxidative damage and skin aging is a significant aspect of dermatological research. Mitochondria generate most reactive oxygen species (ROS); however, excessive ROS are cytotoxic and DNA-damaging and promote (photo-)aging. ROS also possesses key physiological and regulatory functions and mitochondrial dysfunction is prominent in several skin diseases including skin cancers. Although many standard dermatotherapeutics modulate mitochondrial function, dermatological therapy rarely targets the mitochondria. Accordingly, there is a rationale for "mitochondrial dermatology"-based approaches to be applied to therapeutic research. AREAS COVERED This paper examines the functions of mitochondria in cutaneous physiology beyond energy (ATP) and ROS production. Keratinocyte differentiation and epidermal barrier maintenance, appendage morphogenesis and homeostasis, photoaging and skin cancer are considered. Based on related PubMed search results, the paper evaluates thyroid hormones, glucocorticoids, Vitamin D3 derivatives, retinoids, cannabinoid receptor agonists, PPARγ agonists, thyrotropin, and thyrotropin-releasing hormone as instructive lead compounds. Moreover, the mitochondrial protein MPZL3 as a promising new drug target for future "mitochondrial dermatology" is highlighted. EXPERT OPINION Future dermatological therapeutic research should have a mitochondrial medicine emphasis. Focusing on selected lead agents, protein targets, in silico drug design, and model diseases will fertilize a mito-centric approach.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a common bone imbalance disease that threatens the health of postmenopausal women. Estrogen deficiency accelerates the aging of women. Oxidative stress damage is regarded as the main pathogenesis of postmenopausal osteoporosis. The accumulation of reactive oxygen species in the bone microenvironment plays a role in osteoblast and osteoclast apoptosis. Improving the oxidative state is essential for the prevention and treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis. There are three classes of antioxidant defense systems in the body to eliminate free radicals and peroxides including antioxidant substances, antioxidant enzymes, and repair enzymes. In our review, we demonstrated the mechanism of antioxidants and their effect on bone metabolism in detail. We concluded that glutathione/oxidized glutathione (GSH/GSSG) conversion involved the PI3K/Akt-Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway and that the antioxidant enzyme-mediated mitochondrial apoptosis pathway of osteoblasts was necessary for the development of postmenopausal osteoporosis. Since the current therapeutic effects of targeting bone cells are not significant, improving the systemic peroxidation state and then regulating bone homeostasis will be a new method for the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis.

Abstract
SIRT3 is an NAD+-dependent deacetylase in the mitochondria with an extensive ability to regulate mitochondrial morphology and function. It has been reported that SIRT3 participates in the occurrence and development of many aging-related diseases. Osteoporosis is a common aging-related disease characterized by decreased bone mass and fragility fractures, which has caused a huge burden on society. Current research shows that SIRT3 is involved in the physiological processes of senescence of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs), differentiation of BMSCs and osteoclasts. However, the specific effects and mechanisms of SIRT3 in osteoporosis are not clear. In the current review, we elaborated on the physiological functions of SIRT3, the cell types involved in bone remodeling, and the role of SIRT3 in osteoporosis. Furthermore, it also provided a theoretical basis for SIRT3 as a therapeutic target for osteoporosis.
