Abstract
Excessive alcohol consumption is considered to be a major risk factor of alcohol-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head (AONFH). The gut microbiota (GM) has been reported to aid in the regulation of human physiology and its composition can be altered by alcohol consumption. The aim of the present study was to improve the understanding of the GM and its metabolites in patients with AONFH. Metabolomic sequencing and 16S rDNA analysis of fecal samples were performed using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry to characterize the GM of patients with AONFH and healthy normal controls (NCs). Metagenomic sequencing of fecal samples was performed to identify whether GM changes on the species level were associated with the expression of gut bacteria genes or their associated functions in patients with AONFH. The abundance of 58 genera was found to differ between the NC group and the AONFH group. Specifically, Klebsiella, Holdemanella, Citrobacter and Lentilactobacillus were significantly more abundant in the AONFH group compared with those in the NC group. Metagenomic sequencing demonstrated that the majority of the bacterial species that exhibited significantly different abundance in patients with AONFH belonged to the genus Pseudomonas. Fecal metabolomic analysis demonstrated that several metabolites were present at significantly different concentrations in the AONFH group compared with those in the NC group. These metabolites were products of vitamin B6 metabolism, retinol metabolism, pentose and glucuronate interconversions and glycerophospholipid metabolism. In addition, these changes in metabolite levels were observed to be associated with the altered abundance of specific bacterial species, such as Basidiobolus, Mortierella, Phanerochaete and Ceratobasidium. According to the results of the present study, a comprehensive landscape of the GM and metabolites in patients with AONFH was revealed, suggesting the existence of interplay between the gut microbiome and metabolome in AONFH pathogenesis.

Non-traumatic osteonecrosis of the femoral head induced by steroid and alcohol exposure is associated with intestinal flora alterations and metabolomic profiles. J Orthop Surg Res 2024; 19:236. [PMID: 38609952 PMCID: PMC11015587 DOI: 10.1186/s13018-024-04713-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/20/2024] [Accepted: 04/01/2024] [Indexed: 04/14/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is a severe disease that primarily affects the middle-aged population, imposing a significant economic and social burden. Recent research has linked the progression of non-traumatic osteonecrosis of the femoral head (NONFH) to the composition of the gut microbiota. Steroids and alcohol are considered major contributing factors. However, the relationship between NONFH caused by two etiologies and the microbiota remains unclear. In this study, we examined the gut microbiota and fecal metabolic phenotypes of two groups of patients, and analyzed potential differences in the pathogenic mechanisms from both the microbial and metabolic perspectives. METHODS Utilizing fecal samples from 68 NONFH patients (32 steroid-induced, 36 alcohol-induced), high-throughput 16 S rDNA sequencing and liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) metabolomics analyses were conducted. Univariate and multivariate analyses were applied to the omics data, employing linear discriminant analysis effect size to identify potential biomarkers. Additionally, functional annotation of differential metabolites and associated pathways was performed using the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) database. Subsequently, Spearman correlation analysis was employed to assess the potential correlations between differential gut microbiota and metabolites. RESULTS High-throughput 16 S rDNA sequencing revealed significant gut microbial differences. At the genus level, the alcohol group had higher Lactobacillus and Roseburia, while the steroid group had more Megasphaera and Akkermansia. LC-MS/MS metabolomic analysis indicates significant differences in fecal metabolites between steroid- and alcohol-induced ONFH patients. Alcohol-induced ONFH (AONFH) showed elevated levels of L-Lysine and Oxoglutaric acid, while steroid-induced ONFH(SONFH) had increased Gluconic acid and Phosphoric acid. KEGG annotation revealed 10 pathways with metabolite differences between AONFH and SONFH patients. Correlation analysis revealed the association between differential gut flora and differential metabolites. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that hormones and alcohol can induce changes in the gut microbiota, leading to alterations in fecal metabolites. These changes, driven by different pathways, contribute to the progression of the disease. The study opens new research directions for understanding the pathogenic mechanisms of hormone- or alcohol-induced NONFH, suggesting that differentiated preventive and therapeutic approaches may be needed for NONFH caused by different triggers.

Abstract
The development of new tools for assessing the health of cultured shellfish larvae is crucial for aquaculture industries to develop and refine hatchery methodologies. We established a large-volume ecotoxicology/health stressor trial, exposing mussel (Perna canaliculus) embryos to copper in the presence of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA). GC/MS-based metabolomics was applied to identify potential biomarkers for monitoring embryonic/larval health and to characterise mechanisms of metal toxicity. Cellular viability, developmental abnormalities, larval behaviour, mortality, and a targeted analysis of proteins involved in the regulation of reactive oxygen species were simultaneously evaluated to provide a complementary framework for interpretative purposes and authenticate the metabolomics data. Trace metal analysis and speciation modelling verified EDTA as an effective copper chelator. Toxicity thresholds for P. canaliculus were low, with 10% developmental abnormalities in D-stage larvae being recorded upon exposure to 1.10 μg·L-1 bioavailable copper for 66 h. Sublethal levels of bioavailable copper (0.04 and 1.10 μg·L-1) caused coordinated fluctuations in metabolite profiles, which were dependent on development stage, treatment level, and exposure duration. Larvae appeared to successfully employ various mechanisms involving the biosynthesis of antioxidants and a restructuring of energy-related metabolism to alleviate the toxic effects of copper on cells and developing tissues. These results suggest that regulation of trace metal-induced toxicity is tightly linked with metabolism during the early ontogenic development of marine mussels. Lethal-level bioavailable copper (50.3 μg·L-1) caused severe metabolic dysregulation after 3 h of exposure, which worsened with time, substantially delayed embryonic development, induced critical oxidative damage, initiated the apoptotic pathway, and resulted in cell/organism death shortly after 18 h of exposure. Metabolite profiling is a useful approach to (1) assess the health status of marine invertebrate embryos and larvae, (2) detect early warning biomarkers for trace metal contamination, and (3) identify novel regulatory mechanisms of copper-induced toxicity.

Abstract
Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is a kind of disabling disease, given that the molecular mechanism of ONFH has not been elucidated, it is of significance to use bioinformatics analysis to understand the disease mechanism of ONFH and discover biomarkers. Gene set for ONFH GSE74089 was downloaded in the Gene Expression Omnibus, and "limma" package in R software was used to identify differentially expressed genes related to oxidative stress. Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway enrichment analyze were performed for functional analysis. We constructed a protein interaction network and identified potential transcription factors and therapeutic drugs for the hub genes, and delineated the TF-hub genes network. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression, support vector machine and cytoHubba were used to screen feature genes and key genes, which were validated by Receiver operating characteristic. CIBERSORT was used to explored the immune microenvironment. Subsequently, we identified the function of key genes using Gene set variation analysis and their relationship with each type of immune cell. Finally, molecular docking validated the binding association between molecules and validated genes. We detected 144 differentially expressed oxidative stress-related genes, and enrichment analysis showed that they were enriched in reactive oxygen species and AGE-RAGE signaling pathway. Protein-protein interaction and TF-hub genes network were conducted. Further exploration suggested that APOD and TMEM161A were feature genes, while TNF, NOS3 and CASP3 were key genes. Receiver operating characteristic analysis showed that APOD, CASP3, NOS3, and TNF have strong diagnostic ability. The key genes were enriched in oxidative phosphorylation. CIBERSORT analysis showed that 17 types immune cells were differentially relocated, and most of which were also closely related to key genes. In addition, genistein maybe potential therapeutic compound. In all, we identified that TNF, NOS3, and CASP3 played key roles on ONFH, and APOD, CASP3, NOS3, and TNF could serve as diagnostic biomarkers.

Abstract
Individuals with sickle cell disease (SCD) often experience numerous vaso-occlusive crisis events throughout their lives, which can progress to severe damage of several organs, including avascular necrosis, also known as osteonecrosis (ON). Osteonecrosis is one of the most devastating musculoskeletal clinical manifestations of sickle cell disease, afflicting up to 50% of the SCD patients. Herein, a NMR-based untargeted metabolomics approach was used to assess the metabolome alterations of blood plasma and bone marrow interstitial fluid (BMIF) samples of SCD patients with osteonecrosis. Furthermore, biochemical signatures associated with different osteonecrosis stages were assessed by analysing the metabolome of blood plasma and bone marrow interstitial fluid samples of SCD patients with different stages of the disease based on the Fiat and Arlet classification (FAC). Multivariate statistical analysis allowed a clear discrimination between the studied groups and it provided important insights into the different osteonecrosis stages. Citrate was pointed out as a possible biomarker to differentiate SCD patients with and without osteonecrosis. Acetate, creatinine, histidine, tyrosine, glucose, and NI5 seems to be key metabolites associated to different stages of the disease. Although this is a pioneer exploratory study, we acknowledge that fact that it is limited by the group sizes and absence of a validation cohort. Nevertheless, multivariate statistical analyses indicated that the metabolome of blood plasma and BMIF samples encompasses a complex metabolic regulation system for osteonecrosis.

Abstract
Titanium nanotube surfaces containing silver, zinc, and copper have shown antimicrobial effects without decreasing osteoblastic cell growth. In this in-vitro study we present first results on the biological evaluation of surface modifications by incorporating selenium and silver compounds into titanium-dioxide (TiO2) nanotubes by electrochemical deposition. TiO2-nanotubes (TNT) and Phosphate-doped TNT (pTNT) were grown on the surface of Ti6Al4V discs by anodization. Hydroxyapatite (HA), selenium (Se) and silver (Ag) compounds were incorporated by electrochemical deposition. Colony forming units of Staphylococcus epidermidis (DSM 3269) were significantly decreased in SepTNT (0.97 ± 0.18 × 106 CFU/mL), SepTNT-HA (1.2 ± 0.39 × 106 CFU/mL), AgpTNT (1.36 ± 0.42 × 106 CFU/mL) and Ag2SepTNT (0.999 ± 0.12 × 106 CFU/mL) compared to the non-modified control (2.2 ± 0.21 × 106 CFU/mL). Bacterial adhesion was calculated by measuring the covered area after fluorescence staining. Adhesion was lower in SepTNT (37.93 ± 12%; P = 0.004), pTNT (47.3 ± 6.3%, P = 0.04), AgpTNT (24.9 ± 1.8%; P < 0.001) and Ag2SepTNT (14.9 ± 4.9%; P < 0.001) compared to the non-modified control (73.7 ± 11%). Biofilm formation and the growth of osteoblastic cells (MG-63) was observed by using Crystal Violet staining. Biofilm formation was reduced in SepTNT (22 ± 3%, P = 0.02) and Ag2SepTNT discs (23 ± 11%, P = 0.02) compared to the non-modified control (54 ± 8%). In comparison with the non-modified control the modified SepTNT-HA and pTNT surfaces showed a significant higher covered area with osteoblastic MG-63-cells. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) images confirmed findings regarding bacterial and osteoblastic cell growth. These findings show a potential synergistic effect by combining selenium and silver with titanium nanotubes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Although studies have established a link between lipid metabolism disorder and osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH), the characteristics of the circulating lipidome signature of ONFH have not yet been investigated and need to be explored. OBJECTIVES We aimed to explore the plasma lipidome signatures in patients with ONFH, and to identify specific lipid biomarkers of ONFH. METHODS In this study, a comprehensive detection and analysis of plasma lipidomics was conducted in clinical human cohort, including 32 healthy normal control (NC) subjects and 91 ONFH patients in different subgroups [alcohol-induced ONFH (AONFH), steroid-induced ONFH (SONFH), and traumatic-induced ONFH (TONFH)] or at different disease stages (stage I, II, III and IV of ONFH) using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS). RESULTS Overall, the plasma lipidome profile differs between ONFH and NC samples. Lipidome signature including 22 common differentially expressed lipids (DELs) in all three subgroups (variable importance in projection > 1, P < 0.05, fold change > 1.5 or < 0.67, compared to the NC group) was identified. Besides, the subtype-specific lipidome profiles for each ONFH subgroup were also analyzed. Generally, the AONFH subgroup has the largest number of DELs, and the plasma levels of triacylglycerol lipid compounds increased obviously in the AONFH samples. In the subgroup of SONFH, the relative abundance of lipid 4-Aminobenzoic acid increased significantly with changes in the expression of several of its interactive genes. We have identified that 9 stage-positive and 2 stage-negative lipids may function as novel biomarkers predicting the progression of ONFH. CONCLUSION Our study presents an overview of the phenotype-related plasma lipidome signature of patients with ONFH. The results will provide insight into the mechanisms underlying the metabolism of lipids in the pathogenesis and progression of ONFH and help identify novel lipids biomarkers or disease diagnosis and treatment targets.

Abstract
Significance: Osteonecrosis (ON) is characterized by bone tissue death due to disturbance of the nutrient artery. The detailed process leading to the necrotic changes has not been fully elucidated. Clinically, high-dose corticosteroid therapy is one of the main culprits behind osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). Recent Advances: Numerous studies have proposed that such ischemia concerns various intravascular mechanisms. Of all reported risk factors, the involvement of oxidative stress in the irreversible damage suffered by bone-related and vascular endothelial cells during ischemia simply cannot be overlooked. Several articles also have sought to elucidate oxidative stress in relation to ON using animal models or in vitro cell cultures. Critical Issues: However, as far as we know, antioxidant monotherapy has still not succeeded in preventing ONFH in humans. To provide this desideratum, we herein summarize the current knowledge about the influence of oxidative stress on ON, together with data about the preventive effects of administering antioxidants in corticosteroid-induced ON animal models. Moreover, oxidative stress is counteracted by nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)-dependent cytoprotective network through regulating antioxidant expressions. Therefore, we also describe Nrf2 regulation and highlight its role in the pathology of ON. Future Directions: This is a review of all available literature to date aimed at developing a deeper understanding of the pathological mechanism behind ON from the perspective of oxidative stress. It may be hoped that this synthesis will spark the development of a prophylactic strategy to benefit corticosteroid-associated ONFH patients. Antioxid. Redox Signal. 35, 357-376.

Abstract
Avascular necrosis of femoral head (AVNFH) is a debilitating disease, which affects the middle aged population. Though the disease is managed using bisphosphonate, it eventually leads to total hip replacement due to collapse of femoral head. Studies regarding the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms with AVNFH, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, biophysical, ultrastructural and histopathology have been carried out. Functional validation of SNPs was carried out using literature. An integrated systems analysis using the available datasets might help to gain further insights into the disease process. We have carried out an analysis of transcriptomic data from GEO-database, SNPs associated with AVNFH, proteomic and metabolomic data collected from literature. Based on deficiency of vitamins in AVNFH, an enzyme-cofactor network was generated. The datasets are analyzed using ClueGO and the genes are binned into pathways. Metabolomic datasets are analyzed using MetaboAnalyst. Centrality analysis using CytoNCA on the data sets showed cystathionine beta synthase and methylmalonyl-CoA-mutase to be common to 3 out of 4 datasets. Further, the genes common to at least two data sets were analyzed using DisGeNET, which showed their involvement with various diseases, most of which were risk factors associated with AVNFH. Our analysis shows elevated homocysteine, hypoxia, coagulation, Osteoclast differentiation and endochondral ossification as the major pathways associated with disease which correlated with histopathology, IHC, MRI, Micro-Raman spectroscopy etc. The analysis shows AVNFH to be a multi-systemic disease and provides molecular signatures that are characteristic to the disease process.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis and inflammatory arthropathies are a cause of significant morbidity globally. New research elucidating the metabolic derangements associated with a variety of bone and joint disorders implicates various local and systemic metabolites, which further elucidate the underlying molecular mechanisms associated with these destructive disease processes. In osteoarthritis, atty acid metabolism has been implicated in disease development, both locally and systemically. Several series of rheumatoid arthritis patients have demonstrated overlapping trends related to histidine and glyceric acid, while other series showed similar results of increased cholesterol and glutamic acid. Studies comparing osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis reported elevated gluconic acid and glycolytic- and tricarboxylic acid-related substrates in patients with osteoarthritis, while lysosphingolipids and cardiolipins were elevated only in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Other bone and joint disorders, including osteonecrosis, intervertebral disc degeneration, and osteoporosis, also showed significant alterations in metabolic processes. The identification of the molecular mechanisms of osteoarthritis and inflammatory arthropathies via metabolomics-based workflows may allow for the development of new therapeutic targets to improve the quality of life in these patient populations.

Abstract
Early diagnosis and prevention of glucocorticoid (GC)-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) continues to be a challenging problem for clinicians and researchers. However, the role of circulating biomarkers for GC-induced ONFH, which may reveal individual susceptibility and facilitate earlier diagnosis, remains to be determined. The aim of this study was to identify potential biomarkers that may predict early GC-induced ONFH. A total of 123 patients scheduled for initial systemic GC therapy were enrolled in this prospective nested case-control study. The serum concentrations of 13 potential biomarkers were measured in seven patients with GC-induced ONFH, diagnosed instantly after short-term use of GCs and in 20 controls who did not develop osteonecrosis despite similar GC therapy. Biomarkers were measured both before and after taking GCs to identify any differences in marker levels and the changes during GC therapy between two groups. Type I collagen cross-linked C-telopeptide (β-CTX; p = 0.000) was significantly lower, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (p = 0.092) and apolipoprotein (apo)-B/apo-A1 (p = 0.085) tended to be lower and higher, respectively, before GC treatment in osteonecrosis group. After GC therapy, β-CTX (p = 0.014) was significantly lower and amino terminal telopeptide of procollagen type I (PINP; p = 0.068) tended to be lower in the osteonecrosis group. As secondary outcomes, we observed remarkable changes in nine potential biomarkers following short-term GC therapy in both groups. In conclusion, we found that β-CTX, could potentially be used to predict GC-induced ONFH before GC therapy. Lower β-CTX and PINP are promising biomarkers for the early diagnosis of GC-induced ONFH. These findings need to be confirmed in large-scale prospective studies. © 2019 Orthopaedic Research Society. Published by Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Orthop Res 37:2348-2357, 2019.

Calcif Tissue Int 2019; 105:506-517. [PMID: 31359074 DOI: 10.1007/s00223-019-00592-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/09/2019] [Accepted: 07/22/2019] [Indexed: 02/05/2023]
Abstract
Glucocorticoid (GC)-induced osteonecrosis has been considered as the most serious side effect in long-term or over-dose steroid therapy. The decreased bone mass and increased marrow fat tissue demonstrated that GC can destroy the normal differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs), which accelerates adipogenesis but not osteogenesis. However, the underlying mechanisms are still unclear. Ski, an evolutionary conserved protein, is a multifunctional transcriptional regulator that involved in regulating signaling pathways associated with adipogenesis differentiation, but the concrete function remains unclear. In this work, we first established a methylprednisolone (MPS)-induced osteonecrosis of femoral head (ONFH) rabbit model, in which the expression of Ski, PPAR-γ, and FABP4 was up-regulated compared with control group, and then we induced the isolated BMSCs from rabbit with dexamethasone (Dex) in vitro and the results showed that the Ski expression was up-regulated by Dex in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Therefore, we demonstrated that the expression of Ski was up-regulated in glucocorticoid-related osteonecrosis disease in vivo and in vitro. Moreover, the adipogenesis differentiation capacity of BMSCs was enhanced after induced by Dex, which was identified by Oil Red O staining, and the up-regulated PPAR-γ and FABP4 expression. To further study the function of Ski in BMSC after induced by Dex, Ski specific small interfering RNA (Ski-siRNA) was used. Results showed that knockdown of Ski obviously decreased adipogenesis differentiation evident by Oil Red O staining, and the expression of PPAR-γ and FABP4 was down-regulated simultaneously. Collectively, our findings suggest that Ski increased significantly during glucocorticoid-induced adipogenic differentiation of BMSCs, and the expression level was consistent with adipogenic-related proteins including PPAR-γ and FABP4. Based on the above data, we believe that Ski might become a new molecule in the treatment of GC-induced ONFH and our study could provide a basis for further study on the detailed function of Ski in ONFH.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH), one of the widespread orthopedic diseases with a decrease in bloodstream to the femoral head, is frequently accompanied by cellular death, trabecula fracture, and collapse of the articular surface. The exactly pathological mechanism of ONFH remains to explore and further identify. OBJECTIVES The aim was to identify the global urinary metabolic profiling of ONFH and to detect biomarkers of ONFH. METHODS Urine samples were collected from 26 ONFH patients and 26 healthy people. Ultra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time of flight tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-QTOF/MS) in combination with multivariate statistical analysis was developed and performed to identify the global urinary metabolic profiling of ONFH. RESULTS The urinary metabolic profiling of ONFH group was significantly separated from the control group by multivariate statistical analysis. 33 distinctly differential metabolites were detected between the ONFH patients and healthy people. Sulfate, urea, Deoxycholic acid and PE(14:0/14:1(9Z)) were screened as the potential biomarkers of ONFH. In addition, the up/down-regulation of sulfur metabolism, cysteine and methionine metabolism, glycerophospholipid metabolism, and histidine metabolism were clearly be associated with the ONFH pathogenic progress. CONCLUSION Our results suggested that metabolomics could serve as a promising approach for identifying the diagnostic biomarkers and elucidating the pathological mechanism of ONFH.

Abstract
This study aims to investigate the role of interleukin-21 (IL-21) in the mechanism of osteonecrosis of the femoral head. The serum content of IL-21 in patients with osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) and with femoral neck fracture (FNF) was examined by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The cartilage specimens were stained with safranin-O. The expression of IL-21, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), cyclooxygenase (COX-2), a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs 4 (ADAMTS-4), matrix metalloproteinase-13(MMP-13), and aggrecan in the cartilage was detected, by immunohistochemistry and western blot analysis. Moreover, chondrocytes were treated with IL-21 (100 ng/mL) or PBS to examine the mRNA content of TNF-α, COX-2, IL-1β and NOS-2 by RT-PCR, and the protein levels of ADAMTS-4, MMP-13, and aggrecan by western blot analysis. The activity of the JAK-STAT pathway was determined in vitro after stimulation with IL-21. IL-21 serum levels were obviously higher in the ONFH patients and positively correlated with the severity of ONFH. There were more cells positive for inflammatory cytokines, including IL-21, TNF-α, and COX-2, in the cartilage of the ONFH patients than the FNF patients. The level of certain relative biomarkers, such as ADAMTS-4 and MMP-13, was higher and aggrecan was lower in the ONFH patients. The mRNA contents of TNF-α, COX-2, IL-1β, and NOS-2, as well as the levels of ADAMTS-4, MMP-13, were enhanced, and aggrecan decreased after stimulation with IL-21. The protein content of p-STAT-1, as well as p-STAT-3, also increased after IL-21 stimulation, and the highest level appeared at 30 min. Furthermore, the protein level of ADAMTS-4 and MMP-13 and the mRNA level of TNF-α, COX-2, IL-1β, and NOS-2 significantly decreased after stimulation with AG-490. IL-21 enhances cartilage inflammation to promote cartilage degradation through the JAK-STAT signaling pathway in the cartilage of ONFH patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is a common orthopaedic disease of which early detection remains clinically challenging. Accumulating evidences indicated that circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) plays vital roles in the development of several bone diseases. However, the association between circulating miRNAs and steroid-induced ONFH remains elusive. MATERIALS AND METHODS miRNA microarray was performed to identify the differentially abundant miRNAs in the serums of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients with steroid-induced ONFH as compared with SLE control and healthy control group. We predicted the potential functions of these differentially abundant miRNAs using Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analyses and reconstructed the regulatory networks of miRNA-mRNA interactions. RESULTS Our data indicated that there were 11 differentially abundant miRNAs (2 upregulated and 9 downregulated) between SLE-ONFH group and healthy control group and 42 differentially abundant miRNAs (14 upregulated and 28 downregulated) between SLE-ONFH group and SLE control group. We also predicted the potential functions of these differentially abundant miRNAs using Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analyses and reconstructed the regulatory networks of miRNA-mRNA interactions. CONCLUSIONS These findings corroborated the idea that circulating miRNAs play significant roles in the development of ONFH and may serve as diagnostic markers and therapeutic targets.
