Role of SIRT3 in bone homeostasis and its application in preventing and treating bone diseases

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2023
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

Recent Progress in Osteocyte Research [PDF]

open access: yesEndocrinology and Metabolism, 2013
The last decade has seen an exponential increase in our understanding of osteocytes function and biology. These cells, once considered inert by-standers trapped into the mineralized bone, has now risen to be key regulators of skeletal metabolism, mineral

Peripheral nerves in the tibial subchondral bone: the role of pain and homeostasis in osteoarthritis

open access: yesBone & Joint Research, 2022
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a highly prevalent degenerative joint disorder characterized by joint pain and physical disability. Aberrant subchondral bone induces pathological changes and is a major source of pain in OA.

Bone homeostasis [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1998
The functions of bone(s) are (i) mechanical support of soft tissues, (ii) levers for muscle action, (iii) protection of the central nervous system, (iv) release of calcium and other ions for the maintenance of a constant ionic environment in the extracellular fluid, and (v) housing and support of hemopoiesis.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in bone homeostasis

open access: yesBiomedicine & Pharmacotherapy, 2022
Prolonged exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) may result in autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and osteoporosis (OP), which are based on an imbalance in bone homeostasis. These diseases are characterized by bone erosion and even a disruption in homeostasis, including in osteoblasts and osteoclasts.

The Osteocyte: From “Prisoner” to “Orchestrator”

open access: yesJournal of Functional Morphology and Kinesiology, 2021
Osteocytes are the most abundant bone cells, entrapped inside the mineralized bone matrix. They derive from osteoblasts through a complex series of morpho-functional modifications; such modifications not only concern the cell shape (from prismatic to ...

Bone matrix components activate the NLRP3 inflammasome and promote osteoclast differentiation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The NLRP3 inflammasome senses a variety of signals referred to as danger associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), including those triggered by crystalline particulates or degradation products of extracellular matrix. Since some DAMPs confer tissue-specific
