Abstract:The pathogenesis of postmenopausal osteoporosis is closely related to the dysfunction of osteoprotegerin (OPG)/ receptor activator of nuclear factor κB (RANK)/ receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand (RANKL) system. Immature osteoblast secretes RANKL, which is combined with RANK, then it will stimulate the differentiation of osteoclast and inhibit its apoptosis, promoting bone absorption. Mature osteoblast secretes OPG, which will competitively combine RANKL with RANK, thus inhibit osteoclast differentiation and induce its apoptosis, reducing bone resorption. OPG/RANK/RANKL system can be regulated by traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture, especially the traditional Chinese medicine and acupoints of tonifying kidney and spleen. This may be one of the mechanisms of traditional Chinese medicine and acupoints to prevent and treat postmenopausal osteoporosis.
