Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Energy metabolism regulates type 2 diabetes bone metabolism is a hotspot in the field of life medicine. Long-term disorders of energy metabolism such as sugar and lipids lead to insulin resistance, which triggers type 2 diabetes. Silent information regulator 1 (SIRT1), a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide- dependent histone deacetylase, is a key factor regulating energy metabolism and is involved in bone metabolism, gene transcription, cellular senescence, apoptosis and pyroptosis.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the recent literature on the mechanism of action of SIRT1 in exercise-improving bone metabolism, and to investigate its current status and research progress.

METHODS: Databases of PubMed and CNKI were retrieved. The keywords were “SIRT1, exercise, type 2 diabetes, bone formation, bone resorption” in Chinese and English, respectively.

RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) The differentiation and function of osteoblasts and osteoclasts and the metabolic balance are the key to ensure the homeostasis of bone metabolism. In the event of a disorder, the morphological structure of the bone tissue will be degraded, which is also an important mechanism for the occurrence of osteoporosis in type 2 diabetes complications. (2) Energy metabolism disorder is critical for triggering type 2 diabetes. SIRT1, as a key factor regulating energy metabolism, can mediate osteoblast and osteoclast differentiation and function through Wnt and transforming growth factor-β pathways. (3) Recently, exercise has been shown to significantly improve the energy metabolism and bone metabolism of type 2 diabetes. Based on the osteoblasts and osteoclasts, the current researches at home and abroad are reviewed to explore the mechanism of SIRT1 in the improvement of type 2 diabetes bone metabolism.

Key words: SIRT1, exercise, type 2 diabetes, bone formation, bone resorption
