Liu C, Bao X, Tian Y, Xue P, Wang Y, Li Y. Polymorphisms in the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor gene and their interactions on the risk of osteoporosis in postmenopausal Chinese women. PLoS One 2023; 18:e0295451. [PMID: 38096145 PMCID: PMC10721101 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0295451] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/11/2023] [Accepted: 11/22/2023] [Indexed: 12/17/2023] Open
Abstract
Postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP) is a prevalent form of primary osteoporosis, affecting over 40% of postmenopausal women. Previous studies have suggested a potential association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) and PMOP in postmenopausal Chinese women. However, available evidence remains inconclusive. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the possible association between GLP-1R SNPs and PMOP in Han Chinese women. Thus, we conducted a case-control study with 152 postmenopausal Han Chinese women aged 45-80 years, including 76 women with osteoporosis and 76 without osteoporosis. Seven SNPs of the GLP-1R were obtained from the National Center of Biotechnology Information and Genome Variation Server. We employed three genetic models to assess the association between GLP-1R genetic variants and osteoporosis in postmenopausal women, while also investigating SNP-SNP and SNP-environment interactions with the risk of PMOP. In this study, we selected seven GLP-1R SNPs (rs1042044, rs2268641, rs10305492, rs6923761, rs1126476, rs2268657, and rs2295006). Of these, the minor allele A of rs1042044 was significantly associated with an increased risk of PMOP. Genetic model analysis revealed that individuals carrying the A allele of rs1042044 had a higher risk of developing osteoporosis in the dominant model (P = 0.029, OR = 2.76, 95%CI: 1.09-6.99). Furthermore, a multiplicative interaction was found between rs1042044 and rs2268641 that was associated with osteoporosis in postmenopausal women (Pinteraction = 0.034). Importantly, this association remained independent of age, menopausal duration, family history of osteoporosis, and body mass index. However, no significant relationship was observed between GLP-1R haplotypes and PMOP. In conclusion, this study suggests a close association between the A allele on the GLP-1R rs1042044 and an increased risk of PMOP. Furthermore, this risk was significantly augmented by an SNP-SNP interaction with rs2268641. These results provide new scientific insights into the development of personalized prevention strategies and treatment approaches for PMOP.

Abstract
Introduction: Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is one contributor to recent increases in sow mortality that have been observed in some populations and environments, leading to financial losses and welfare concerns. Methods: With inconsistent previous reports, the objective here was to investigate the role of genetics on susceptibility to POP, using data on 30,429 purebred sows, of which 14,186 were genotyped (25K), collected from 2012 to 2022 in two US multiplier farms with a high POP incidence of 7.1% among culled and dead sows and ranging from 2% to 4% of all sows present by parity. Given the low incidence of POP for parities 1 and >6, only data from parities 2 to 6 were retained for analyses. Genetic analyses were conducted both across parities, using cull data (culled for POP versus another reason), and by parity, using farrowing data. (culled for POP versus culled for another reason or not culled). Results and Discussion: Estimates of heritability from univariate logit models on the underlying scale were 0.35 ± 0.02 for the across-parity analysis and ranged from 0.41 ± 0.03 in parity 2 to 0.15 ± 0.07 in parity 6 for the by-parity analyses. Estimates of genetic correlations of POP between parities based on bivariate linear models indicated a similar genetic basis of POP across parities but less similar with increasing distance between parities. Genome wide association analyses revealed six 1 Mb windows that explained more than 1% of the genetic variance in the across-parity data. Most regions were confirmed in several by-parity analyses. Functional analyses of the identified genomic regions showed a potential role of several genes on chromosomes 1, 3, 7, 10, 12, and 14 in susceptibility to POP, including the Estrogen Receptor gene. Gene set enrichment analyses showed that genomic regions that explained more variation for POP were enriched for several terms from custom transcriptome and gene ontology libraries. Conclusion: The influence of genetics on susceptibility to POP in this population and environment was confirmed and several candidate genes and biological processes were identified that can be targeted to better understand and mitigate the incidence of POP.

Abstract
This experiment was a network pharmacology research based on the theoretical system of traditional Chinese medicine. TCMSP database, PubChem database, RCSB database, and SwissTargetPrediction database were used to study the effective chemical constituents of Ligustri lucidi Fructus and Ecliptae Herba in Erzhiwan, a traditional prescription for nourishing the liver and kidney. Then Genecards database, OMIM database, OMIM Gene Map, and Metascape database were used to study the therapeutic targets of osteoporosis. At last, Cytoscape 3.6.0 software, its built-in Bisogenet and CytoNCA, AutoDockTools-1.5.6 software, PYMOL-2.2.0 software, and Gromacs software, by drawing the relationship diagram between chemical components and disease targets, PPI network of disease, semi-flexible molecular docking technology, evaluation and analysis of enrichment pathway, and molecular dynamics simulation, were used to study the therapeutic mechanism of Erzhiwan on osteoporosis. It is found that the intervention and regulation of Erzhiwan on osteoporosis were mainly realized through multiple targets of active ingredients and multiple pathways, which provided support for the continued development of Erzhiwan.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recently, the roles of ESR1 and ESR2 polymorphisms in osteoporosis have been extensively reported, with conflicting findings. Therefore, we performed this present study to evaluate the potential associations between ESR1 and ESR2 polymorphisms and osteoporosis risk. METHODOLOGY All included literatures published up to April 2021 were identified by searching Pubmed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and Wanfang databases. Pooled odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated the associations using a fixed or random effects model. RESULTS 36 observational studies involving five gene polymorphisms (ESR1 PvuII, ESR1 XbaI, ESR1 G2014A, ESR2 AluI and ESR2 RsaI) covering 12507 cases and 18487 controls were included. The results of our meta-analysis demonstrated the variant A allele of ESR2 RsaI polymorphism might play a remarkable protective role in developing osteoporosis under all genetic models. However, no associations were observed between ESR1 PvuII, ESR1 XbaI, ESR1 G2014A and ESR2 AluI polymorphisms with the risk of osteoporosis under all genetic models. CONCLUSIONS Our meta-analysis suggests that genetic polymorphism in ESR2 RsaI may lead to decreased risk for osteoporosis. Further larger studies are needed to confirm this conclusion.

Abstract
Background The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the pharmacodynamic material basis and molecular mechanism of pilose antler (PA) in the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis (OP) by the method of network pharmacology. Methods First, the active components of PA were screened by BATMAN-TCM database, and the component targets were obtained from the SwissTargetPrediction online tool. Moreover, the relevant target genes of OP were obtained by searching the DisGeNET database. Second, the Venn diagram was drawn to obtain the PA-OP common targets, and the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network and drug-component-target (D-C-T) network were constructed by Cytoscape software. Finally, the GO functional annotation and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis of common targets were performed using the Metascape online tool. Results 82 common targets were identified by generating a Venn diagram. The PPI network of 82 common targets indicated that the top 5 nodal targets, including PIK3CA, MAPK1, ESR1, AKT1, and SRC, were strongly associated with other proteins. The D-C-T network suggested that the active components with high degree of connectivity include Prostaglandin E1, 17-Beta-Estradiol, Alpha-Estradiol, and Estrone. Furthermore, the GO enrichment analysis revealed that the biological process categories were dominated by response to peptide, cellular response to lipid, regulation of MAPK cascade, and so on. Additionally, the KEGG pathway analysis indicated the estrogen signaling pathway, osteoclast differentiation, and HIF-1 signaling pathway might have critical effects on the development of OP. Conclusion The study shows that PA has the characteristics of multi-component, multi-target, and multi-pathway in treating osteoporosis.

Abstract
Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the ESR1/ESR2 genes play a role in osteoporosis (OP). Our objective was to determine associations of polymorphisms in ESR genes with OP and fracture, SNP-SNP interactions, and involvement of comorbidities. We analyzed 170 Mexican osteoporotic women (FNOP), 173 with hip fracture (HFx), and 210 controls. The SNPs, ESR1 rs2234693CC, rs851982CC and rs1999805AA, were associated with reduced OP risk (odds ratios [ORs] = 0.35, 0.40 and 0.32, respectively; p < 0.05); rs2234693CC was associated with reduced fracture risk (OR = 0.24; p < 0.05). The obese/overweight carriers of rs9340799GG had a lower OP (OR = 0.15, p = 0.016) and fracture (OR = 0.12, p = 0.0057) risk. The rs9479055AA and rs3020404AA hypertensive carriers had a higher OP risk (OR = 5.96, p = 0.032; and OR = 5.29, p = 0.02, respectively). In addition, rs3020404AA had a higher risk of fracture (OR = 4.90, p = 0.045). The rs2228480GG hypertensive carriers had a higher risk of fracture (OR = 6.22, p = 0.0038). We found a synergic relation between the ESR1 rs3020331 and rs1999805 in femoral neck OP and HFx. The rs2234693 (PvuII) and rs9340799 (XbaI) polymorphisms are associated with a high risk forming a haplotype. The epistasis analysis suggests the contribution of both genes (ESR1/ESR2) to the risk of OP and fracture. Epistasis and involvement of obesity and hypertension lead to a significant modification of the risk.

Abstract
Skeletal disorders, including fractures and osteoporosis, in laying hens cause major welfare and economic problems. Although genetics have been shown to play a key role in bone integrity, little is yet known about the underlying genetic architecture of the traits. This study aimed to identify genes associated with bone breaking strength and bone mineral density of the tibiotarsus and the humerus in laying hens. Potentially informative single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) were identified using Random Forests classification. We then searched for genes known to be related to bone stability in close proximity to the SNPs and identified 16 potential candidates. Some of them had human orthologues. Based on our findings, we can support the assumption that multiple genes determine bone strength, with each of them having a rather small effect, as illustrated by our SNP effect estimates. Furthermore, the enrichment analysis showed that some of these candidates are involved in metabolic pathways critical for bone integrity. In conclusion, the identified candidates represent genes that may play a role in the bone integrity of chickens. Although further studies are needed to determine causality, the genes reported here are promising in terms of alleviating bone disorders in laying hens.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play essential roles in regulating bone formation and homeostasis. Genomic variations within miRNA target sites may therefore be important sources of genetic differences in osteoporosis risk. The function of CCDC170 in bone biology is still unclear. To verify the function of CCDC170, we knocked down CCDC170 in cells and mice and searched for miRNA recognition sites within CCDC170 using the TargetScan, miRNASNP, and miRBase databases. In this study, our results demonstrated that CCDC170 plays an important role in the positive regulation of bone formation. MiR-153-3p, miR-374b-3p, miR-4274, miR-572 and miR-2964a-5p inhibited CCDC170 expression in an allele-specific manner by binding GWAS lead SNPs rs6932603, rs3757322 and rs3734806. These findings may improve our understanding of the association between CCDC170, miRNAs, GWAS lead SNPs, and osteoporosis pathogenesis and may provide a potential therapeutic target for osteoporosis therapy. Summary: CCDC170 may provide a potential therapeutic target for osteoporosis therapy.

Background Postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMO) is the most common type of primary osteoporosis. ESR1 polymorphism rs2234693 and rs9340799 has been widely studied as a candidate gene associated with PMO, however, the findings were inconclusive. The present study aims to explore the relationship of ESR1 polymorphism rs2234693 and rs9340799 with PMO risk in a Chinese Han population. Methods PMO patients and healthy controls were recruited from gynecology department. DNA of all participants were extracted from the peripheral blood samples and genotyped by Mass Array method. A meta-analysis of case control studies was also conducted to further elucidate the relationship of polymorphism with PMO. Results Our results revealed that there were no associations of rs2234693 with PMO. However, GG genotype of rs9340799 was associated with a higher risk of PMO (OR = 1.51, 95%CI:1.08–4.34, p = 0.03), even adjusting for risk factors (OR = 1.83, 95%CI: 1.12–5.04, p = 0.04). Logistic regression analysis showed that dominant model was associated with a higher risk of PMO (OR = 2.07, 95%CI: 1.02–5.16, p = 0.02) after correcting the risk factors (OR = 2.14, 95%CI:1.12–5.64, p = 0.04); In addition, the Meta-analysis results revealed that both two polymorphisms were not associated with PMO. Conclusions In conclusion, ESR1 polymorphism rs9340799 was associated with PMO. However, well designed studies with larger sample sizes are required to further elucidate the associations.

Prevalence and association of single nucleotide polymorphisms with sarcopenia in older women depends on definition. Sci Rep 2020; 10:2913.

Abstract
The prevalence of sarcopenia depends on the definition used. There are, however, consistent sarcopenic characteristics, including a low muscle mass and muscle strength. Few studies have investigated the relationship between sarcopenia and genotype. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 307 community-dwelling ≥60-year-old women in South Cheshire, UK. Handgrip strength was assessed with a handgrip dynamometer and skeletal muscle mass was estimated using bioelectrical impedance. DNA was extracted from saliva (∼38%) or blood (∼62%) and 24 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were genotyped. Three established sarcopenia definitions - %Skeletal Muscle Mass (%SMM), Skeletal Muscle Mass Index (SMI) and European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People (EWGSOP) - were used to assess sarcopenia prevalence. Binary logistic regression with age as covariate was used to identify SNPs associated with sarcopenia. The prevalence of sarcopenia was: %SMM 14.7%, SMI 60.6% and EWGSOP 1.3%. Four SNPs were associated with the %SMM and SMI definitions of sarcopenia; FTO rs9939609, ESR1 rs4870044, NOS3 rs1799983 and TRHR rs7832552. The first three were associated with the %SMM definition, and TRHR rs7832552 with the SMI definition, but none were common to both sarcopenia definitions. The gene variants associated with sarcopenia may help proper counselling and interventions to prevent individuals from developing sarcopenia.
