摘要

Bone is a dynamic tissue that undergoes microdamage and requires remodeling to replace old bone matrix. This process demands a tight coupling between bone resorption and bone formation. Aberrant internal environment can decouple these processes, reducing bone mass and compromising mechanical properties. High mobility group box-1 (HMGB1) is a multifunctional protein binding to advanced glycosylation end product-specific receptor (RAGE) and toll-like receptors (TLRs), regulating DNA repair, cytokine production, inflammation, cell proliferation, programmed cell death (PCD). Extracellular HMGB1 serves not only as a damage-associated molecular pattern (DAMP) that promotes cytokine storms and inflammatory cascade responses but also modulates osteogenesis, osteoclastogenesis and angiogenesis. Under physiological or acute trauma conditions, HMGB1 recruits osteoblasts, osteoclasts, and various immune cells to coordinate inflammation and immune responses, clearing pathogens and promoting bone repair. However, chronic HMGB1 overrelease strengthens osteoclastogenesis and bone resorption, leading to uncoupled bone remodeling and homeostatic imbalance. Thus, HMGB1 plays indispensable roles in bone metabolism and immune regulation. Current research on its involvement in bone remodeling remains incomplete and lacks systematic elucidation. This review aims to bridge this critical knowledge gap and provide a comprehensive reference for future investigations.
