Abstract
Bone and joint-related diseases, including osteoarthritis (OA), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and bone tumors, pose significant health challenges due to their debilitating effects on the musculoskeletal system. 14-3-3 proteins, a family of conserved regulatory molecules, play a critical role in the pathology of these diseases. This review discusses the intricate structure and multifunctionality of 14-3-3 proteins, their regulation of signaling pathways, and their interactions with other proteins. We underscore the significance of 14-3-3 proteins in the regulation of osteoblasts, osteoclasts, chondrocytes, and bone remodeling, all key factors in the maintenance and dysfunction of bone and joint systems. Specific focus is directed toward elucidating the contribution of 14-3-3 proteins in the pathology of OA, RA, and bone malignancies, where dysregulated 14-3-3-mediated signaling cascades have been implicated in the disease processes. This review illuminates how the perturbation of 14-3-3 protein interactions can lead to the pathological manifestations observed in these disorders, including joint destruction and osteolytic activity. We highlight cutting-edge research that positions 14-3-3 proteins as potential biomarkers for disease progression and as innovative therapeutic targets, offering new avenues for disease intervention and management.
期刊介绍:
Established in 2013, Bone Research is a newly-founded English-language periodical that centers on the basic and clinical facets of bone biology, pathophysiology, and regeneration. It is dedicated to championing key findings emerging from both basic investigations and clinical research concerning bone-related topics. The journal's objective is to globally disseminate research in bone-related physiology, pathology, diseases, and treatment, contributing to the advancement of knowledge in this field.
