Abstract

There has been interest in the connection between cardiovascular diseases and osteoporosis, both of which share hyperlipidemia as a common pathological basis. Osteoporosis is a progressive metabolic bone disease characterized by reduced bone mass, deteriorated bone microstructure, increased bone fragility and heightened risk of bone fractures. Dysfunction of osteoblastic cells, vital for bone formation, is induced by excessive internalization of lipids under hyperlipidemic conditions, forming the crux of hyperlipidemia‑associated osteoporosis. Autophagy, a process fundamental to cell self‑regulation, serves a critical role in osteoblastic cell function and bone formation. When activated by lipids, lipophagy inhibits osteoblastic cell differentiation in response to elevated lipid concentrations, resulting in reduced bone mass and osteoporosis. However, an in‑depth understanding of the precise roles and mechanisms of lipophagy in the regulation of osteoblastic cell function is required. Study of the molecular mechanisms governing osteoblastic cell response to excessive lipids can result in a clearer understanding of osteoporosis; therefore, potential strategies for preventing hyperlipidemia‑induced osteoporosis can be developed. The present review discusses recent progress in elucidating the molecular mechanisms of lipophagy in the regulation of osteoblastic cell function, offering insights into hyperlipidemia‑induced osteoporosis.
