Abstract:

BACKGROUND: With the research and development of bone tissue engineering, it has been found that advanced glycation end products can accumulate in bone tissue and affect the structure and biomechanical properties of bone. At present, many researchers have discovered that advanced glycation end products/receptor for advanced glycation end products can induce pathological changes of osteoblasts, osteoclasts and osteocytes through special mechanisms, thereby leading to imbalance of bone reconstruction, decrease of bone strength and increase of fracture incidence.

OBJECTIVE: To review the effects of advanced glycation end products on bone biomechanics and the mechanism of advanced glycation end products/receptor for advanced glycation end products on bone tissue cells.

METHODS: The first author searched the relevant articles regarding the effect of advanced glycation end products/receptor for advanced glycation end products on metabolism of bone tissue cells published in PubMed, Web of Science and Medline database from January 2005 to July 2019. The results were limited to English literatures.

RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Finally, 54 representative literatures were selected for summary. The effects of advanced glycation end products on collagen cross-linking can significantly reduce bone strength. Advanced glycation end products/receptor for advanced glycation end products affects bone metabolism through pathological mechanism changes of bone tissue cells, which results in essential changes of bone tissue cells. Finally, it will lead to imbalance of bone metabolism and increase of bone fragility. The osteoporosis is directly related to the activity change of bone tissue cells, but the specific mechanism needs further study. The change of this special mechanism may provide a unique pathological mechanism, diagnosis methods, treatment and prevention strategies for osteoporosis in the future.
