Abstract:
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), an autoimmune disease affecting multiple organs and tissues, is often complicated by musculoskeletal diseases. T helper cells (Th) play an important role in mediating lupus. With the rise of osteoimmunology, more studies have shown shared molecules and interactions between the immune system and bones. Th cells are vital in the regulation of bone metabolism by directly or indirectly regulating bone health by secreting various cytokines. Therefore, by describing the regulation of Th cells (including Th1, Th2, Th9, Th17, Th22, regulatory T cells (Treg), and follicular T helper cells (Tfh) in bone metabolism in SLE, this paper offers certain theoretical support for abnormal bone metabolism in SLE and provides new prospects for future drug development.
