- Abstract: BACKGROUND:Nerve growth factor plays an important role in the physiological and pathological processes of bone tissue.Systematic analysis of the effects of nerve growth factor on bone tissue is of great significance in both tissue engineering and clinical treatment.OBJECTIVE:To investigate the regulation of bone formation process by nerve growth factor through pathways such as bone tissue cells and bone nerve-vessel coupling,as well as to study the role of nerve growth factor in the pathological process of bone-related diseases.METHODS:The authors searched for relevant articles in CNKI,WanFang,and PubMed with the keywords of"nerve growth factor,TrkA,NGF,bone,cartilage"in Chinese and English.A total of 2 925 articles were initially retrieved.After screening,116 articles were incorporated into this review.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Nerve growth factor can be expressed by bone,cartilage,nerve,vessel and other tissue cells.At the same time,nerve growth factor can play a regulatory role on these cells.Through a variety of secretion and regulation methods,nerve growth factor plays a role as a signal transduction factor within bone tissue and between bone,nerve and blood vessel tissues.By promoting the proliferation and differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells,nerve growth factor promotes bone formation and bone repair.Nerve growth factor has multi-directional regulatory effects on bone tissue through its effects on osteoclasts.Meanwhile,nerve growth factor is highly correlated with the occurrence and development of many orthopedic diseases and may provide new clinical therapeutic ideas.The study of nerve growth factor is one of the important directions to understand the physiological and pathological processes of bone.
