Popis: Osteoporosis (OP)-associated fractures can result in severe morbidity and disability, reduced quality of life, and death. Previous studies have suggested that small noncoding RNAs, for example, small regulatory microRNAs (miRNAs), play a key role in OP by inhibiting target gene expression. Cuproptosis, a recently proposed copper-induced cell death pathway, is linked with OP. Here, we describe the contribution of exosomal miRNAs and cuproptosis to OP. First, we highlight the characteristics of exosomes and roles of exosome-related miRNAs. Next, we discuss the relationship between cuproptosis and OP. Subsequently, we analyze the crosstalk of exosomal miRNAs with cuproptosis in the development of OP. This review aims to investigate a new clinical treatment method for OP.
