However, studies on the correlation between pro-inflammatory cytokine responses and bone metabolism in COVID-19 patients are still lacking. In this special background, will inflammatory disorder and immune imbalance affect bone metabolism after COVID-19 infection? Simultaneously, hypoxia inducible factor (HIF-1) was proven to facilitate osteoclast differentiation by overexpressing RANKL and nuclear factor of activated T cells cytoplasmic 1 (NFATc1) (14) . As osteoblasts and osteoclasts exist in approach with immune cells in medullary cavity, it's no wonder that immune system shares massive regulatory cytokines, signaling molecules and transcription factors with bone biology. Apart from that, NF-κB and AP-1 stimulate the expression of many elements which required for inflammatory cytokines, driving up osteoclast activity and usually implicated inhibition on proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts (22) . ./cache/cord-293059-2iwzieqm.txt ./txt/cord-293059-2iwzieqm.txt
