T-Cell Mediated Inflammation in Postmenopausal Osteoporosis

Abstract: Osteoporosis is the most prevalent metabolic bone disease that affects half the women in the sixth and seventh decade of life. Osteoporosis is characterized by uncoupled bone resorption that leads to low bone mass, compromised microarchitecture and structural deterioration that increases the likelihood of fracture with minimal trauma, known as fragility fractures. Several factors contribute to osteoporosis in men and women. In women, menopause – the cessation of ovarian function, is one of the leading causes o… Show more

“…Bone remodelling starts with the destruction of old bone by osteoclasts followed by the deposition of osteoids by osteoblasts within basic multicellular units (BMUs), which are composed of osteoclasts, osteoblasts and the capillary blood supply. Subsequently, the organic extracellular matrix is mineralized [ 16 , 18 ]. This process, which occurs throughout life, may replace microdamage and ensure structural integrity.…”

“…Recently, a new pathway has been described, indicating that E2 loss results in chronic production of TNF-α and IL-17 by converting T M into T E . IL-7 and IL-15 are involved in the process; both are mainly secreted by bone marrow dendritic cells (BMDCs), which are important APCs in the bone marrow (BM) ( 15 ). Animal experiments have shown the absence of bone loss in specially treated mice, in which T M cannot convert into T E ( 16 ).…”

“…On the other hand, during osteoporosis, inflammatory mediators such as pro-inflammatory cytokines act on the skeletal cells directly or indirectly to promote the development of osteoporosis ( McLean, 2009 ). Besides, recent evidence suggests both innate and adaptive immunocytes contribute to osteoporosis ( Saxena et al, 2021 ; Wu et al, 2021 ).…”
