The application discloses application of a
medicine, miltefosine, in promoting
bone formation and preventing and treating
osteoporosis. In the
bone formation process, the expression of
protein phosphatase PPM1A in osteoblasts is significantly increased, the
dephosphorylation of a
core protein Smad2 of a TGF-beta
signal path is regulated, the TGF-beta
signal path is inhibited, the expression of an osteogenic marker is promoted, and the osteogenic ability of the
organism is enhanced. The application discloses that the
medicine, miltefosine, is used as a PPM1A
enzyme activity catalyst, the in-vivo intervention of the
medicine can significantly accelerate bone repair and
delay bone loss of
postmenopausal osteoporosis, a mechanism is that the
enzyme activity of PPM1A of osteoblasts is catalyzed, the
dephosphorylation of
Smad2
protein is promoted, the TGF-beta /
Smad2
signal path activity is inhibited,
bone formation is promoted, bone repair is accelerated, and bone loss is prevented. Therefore, the miltefosine has a good application prospect in
clinical treatment of promoting osteogenesis and preventing and treating
osteoporosis.
