Although it is usually regarded as an essential trace element for humans, this view is not held universally. Moreover, chronic fluorosis, mainly characterized by skeletal fluorosis, can be induced by long-term excessive fluoride consumption. High concentrations of fluoride in the environment and drinking water are major causes, and patients with skeletal fluorosis mainly present with symptoms of osteosclerosis, osteochondrosis, osteoporosis, and degenerative changes in joint cartilage. Etiologies for skeletal fluorosis have been established, but the specific pathogenesis is inconclusive. Currently, active osteogenesis and accelerated bone turnover are considered critical processes in the progression of skeletal fluorosis. In recent years, researchers have conducted extensive studies in fields of signaling pathways (Wnt\/\u03b2-catenin, Notch, PI3K\/Akt\/mTOR, Hedgehog, parathyroid hormone, and insulin signaling pathways), stress pathways (oxidative stress and endoplasmic reticulum stress pathways), epigenetics (DNA methylation and non-coding RNAs), and their inter-regulation involved in the pathogenesis of skeletal fluorosis. In this review, we summarised and analyzed relevant findings to provide a basis for comprehensive understandings of the pathogenesis of skeletal fluorosis and hopefully propose more effective prevention and therapeutic strategies.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms222111932","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,3]],"date-time":"2021-11-03T17:59:38Z","timestamp":1635962378000},"page":"11932","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":63,"title":["Progress of Signaling Pathways, Stress Pathways and Epigenetics in the Pathogenesis of Skeletal Fluorosis"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"22","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6739-0846","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lichun","family":"Qiao","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Environment and Genes Related to Diseases, School of Public Health, Health Science Center, Xi\u2019an Jiaotong University, Xi\u2019an 710049, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1526-0361","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xuan","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Environment and Genes Related to Diseases, School of Public Health, Health Science Center, Xi\u2019an Jiaotong University, Xi\u2019an 710049, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9571-9285","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yujie","family":"He","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Environment and Genes Related to Diseases, School of Public Health, Health Science Center, Xi\u2019an Jiaotong University, Xi\u2019an 710049, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jiaheng","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Environment and Genes Related to Diseases, School of Public Health, Health Science Center, Xi\u2019an Jiaotong University, Xi\u2019an 710049, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0758-4374","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hao","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Environment and Genes Related to Diseases, School of Public Health, Health Science Center, Xi\u2019an Jiaotong University, Xi\u2019an 710049, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wenming","family":"Bian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Environment and Genes Related to Diseases, School of Public Health, Health Science Center, Xi\u2019an Jiaotong University, Xi\u2019an 710049, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7812-022X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mumba Mulutula","family":"Chilufya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Environment and Genes Related to Diseases, School of Public Health, Health Science Center, Xi\u2019an Jiaotong University, Xi\u2019an 710049, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yan","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Environment and Genes Related to Diseases, School of Public Health, Health Science Center, Xi\u2019an Jiaotong University, Xi\u2019an 710049, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1460-0114","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jing","family":"Han","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Environment and Genes Related to Diseases, School of Public Health, Health Science Center, Xi\u2019an Jiaotong University, Xi\u2019an 710049, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"1092","article-title":"The Progress about the influence of Fluorine on Bone","volume":"12","author":"Zhao","year":"2006","journal-title":"Med.
