Abstract

Abstract Continuous stimulation of inflammation is harmful to tissues of an organism. Inflammatory mediators not only have an effect on metabolic and inflammatory bone diseases but also have an adverse effect on certain genetic and periodontal diseases associated with bone destruction. Inflammatory factors promote vascular calcification in various diseases. Vascular calcification is a pathological process similar to bone development, and vascular diseases play an important role in the loss of bone homeostasis. The NLRP3 inflammasome is an essential component of the natural immune system. It can recognize pathogen-related molecular patterns or host-derived dangerous signaling molecules, recruit, and activate the pro-inflammatory protease caspase-1. Activated caspase-1 cleaves the precursors of IL-1β and IL-18 to produce corresponding mature cytokines or recognizes and cleaves GSDMD to mediate cell pyroptosis. In this review, we discuss the role of NLRP3 inflammasome in bone diseases and vascular calcification caused by sterile or non-sterile inflammation and explore potential treatments to prevent bone loss.
