Description
Abstract
Background. Temporomandibular joint
osteoarthritis (TMJOA) and knee osteoarthritis (knee
OA) are two kinds of common osteoarthritis (OA) that
are characterized by chronic degeneration of soft and
hard tissues around joints. Their gender and age
differences suggest that there are similarities and
differences between the pathogenic mechanisms of
TMJOA and knee OA.
Objective. To review recent studies on the effect of
estrogen on TMJOA and knee OA, and summarize their
possible pathogenesis and molecular mechanisms.
Sources. Articles up to present reporting the
relationship of estrogen and TMJOA or knee OA are
included. An extensive electronic search was conducted
of databases including PubMed, Web of science core
collection.
Conclusion. According to epidemiological
investigations, TMJOA primarily happens to females of
puberty and childbearing age, while knee OA mainly
affects postmenopausal women. Epidemiological
investigation and experimental research suggest that
estrogen may have a different effect on TMJ and on
knee. Though estrogen regulates TMJOA and knee OA
via estrogen-related receptors (ERR), their pathogenesis
and pathway of estrogen regulation are different. To find
out the accurate regulation of estrogen on TMJOA and
knee OA, specific pathways and molecular mechanisms
still need further exploration.
