Popis: Prolonged exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) may result in autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and osteoporosis (OP), which are based on an imbalance in bone homeostasis. These diseases are characterized by bone erosion and even a disruption in homeostasis, including in osteoblasts and osteoclasts. Current evidence indicates that multiple factors affect the progression of bone homeostasis, such as genetic susceptibility and epigenetic modifications. However, environmental factors, especially PAHs from various sources, have been shown to play an increasingly prominent role in the progression of bone homeostasis. Hence, it is essential to investigate the effects and pathogenesis of PAHs in bone homeostasis. In this review, recent progress is summarized concerning the effects and mechanisms of PAHs and their ligands and receptors in bone homeostasis. Moreover, strategies based on the effects and mechanisms of PAHs in the regulation of the bone balance and alleviation of bone destruction are also reviewed. We further discuss the future challenges and perspectives regarding the roles of PAHs in autoimmune diseases based on bone homeostasis.
