ABSTRACT: Background
Bisphosphonates (BPs) are the first-line treatment to stop bone resorption in diseases, including osteoporosis, Paget's disease, multiple myeloma and bone metastases of cancer. However, BPs-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ), characterized by local inflammation and jawbone necrosis, is a severe intractable complication. The cumulative inflammatory burden often accompanies impaired lymphatic drainage, but its specific impact on BRONJ and the underlying mechanisms remain unclear.Methods
The mouse BRONJ model was established to assess the integrity and drainage function of lymphatic vessels by tissue clearing techniques, injected indocyanine green lymphatic clearance assay, flow cytometry analysis and histopathological staining. RNA sequencing, metabolome anal
