Interaction between cell cleanup and inflammatory death in osteoporosis: Connecting energy control to bone inflammation

Updated

Abstract

Chronic low-grade inflammation is linked to the disruption of the bone marrow microenvironment in osteoporosis.

  • Imbalanced bone formation and resorption is a key feature of osteoporosis.
  • NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated pyroptosis may enhance local inflammation.
  • This process could lead to the release of inflammatory molecules such as IL-1β and IL-18.
  • Damage-associated molecular patterns may also be released during this inflammatory response.
  • Mitophagy may play a role in controlling inflammation by ensuring mitochondrial quality and reducing oxidative stress.
