Abstract
The ubiquitin (Ub)‑proteasome system (UPS) plays a pivotal role in maintaining protein homeostasis and function to modulate various cellular processes including skeletal cell differentiation and bone homeostasis. The Ub ligase E3 promotes the transfer of Ub to the target protein, especially transcription factors, to regulate the proliferation, differentiation and survival of bone cells, as well as bone formation. In turn, the deubiquitinating enzyme removes Ub from modified substrate proteins to orchestrate bone remodeling. As a result of abnormal regulation of ubiquitination, bone cell differentiation exhibits disorder and then bone homeostasis is affected, consequently leading to osteoporosis. The present review discussed the role and mechanism of UPS in bone remodeling. However, the specific mechanism of UPS in the process of bone remodeling is still not fully understood and further research is required. The study of the mechanism of action of UPS can provide new ideas and methods for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis. In addition, the most commonly used osteoporosis drugs that target ubiquitination processes in the clinic are discussed in the current review.
