Osteoporosis is a multifaceted skeletal disorder characterized by reduced bone mass and structural deterioration, posing a significant public health challenge, particularly in the elderly population. Treatment strategies for osteoporosis primarily focus on inhibiting bone resorption and promoting bone formation. However, the effectiveness and limitations of current therapeutic approaches underscore the need for innovative methods. This review explores emerging molecular targets within crucial signaling pathways, including wingless/integrated (WNT), bone morphogenetic protein (BMP), hedgehog (HH), and Notch signaling pathway, to understand their roles in osteogenesis regulation. The identification of crosstalk targets between these pathways further enhances our comprehension of the intricate bone metabolism cycle. In summary, unraveling the molecular complexity of osteoporosis provides insights into potential therapeutic targets beyond conventional methods, offering a promising avenue for the development of new anabolic drugs.
骨质疏松症是一种多方面的骨骼疾病,其特征是骨量减少和结构恶化,对公众健康构成重大挑战,特别是在老年人群中。骨质疏松症的治疗策略主要集中在抑制骨吸收和促进骨形成上。然而,当前治疗方法的有效性和局限性突显了需要创新方法。这篇综述探讨了关键信号通路中新兴的分子靶点,包括 Wnt、BMP、Hedgehog 和 Notch 信号通路,以了解它们在成骨调节中的作用。这些通路之间的串扰靶点的鉴定进一步增强了我们对复杂骨代谢周期的理解。总之,揭示骨质疏松症的分子复杂性为超越传统方法的潜在治疗靶点提供了思路,为新的合成代谢药物的开发提供了有希望的途径。
