Abstract:
Osteoporosis (OP) is a prevalent metabolic bone disease with a complex pathogenesis that has not yet been fully elucidated. Recent studies have revealed that the Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) signaling pathway plays a significant role in the development and progression of OP. TLR4, a crucial immune receptor primarily expressed in immune cells, is involved in inflammatory responses and immune regulation. The TLR4 signaling pathway influences bone metabolism and remodeling through multiple mechanisms. Therefore, investigating the role of the TLR4 signaling pathway in OP is of great significance for its prevention and treatment. Research targeting the TLR4 signaling pathway provides novel insights and approaches for OP therapy. Future studies should further explore the mechanisms of the TLR4 signaling pathway, develop therapeutic agents that modulate this pathway, and validate their efficacy in OP through clinical trials, thereby offering more options for the clinical management of OP.
