Gut Homeostasis Regulates Th17/Treg Balance and Influences PMOP. (A) The gut microbiota modulates the balance between Th17 and Treg cells, as well as cytokine levels, affecting the development and progression of PMOP. (B) Microbial-derived metabolites from the gut regulate multiple immune cells, causing an imbalance between osteoblasts and osteoclasts, which contributes to PMOP. (C) Intestinal barrier damage increases permeability and disrupts tight junctions, triggering inflammation and promoting osteoclast differentiation, thereby accelerating the onset and progression of PMOP.
