Nitric oxide synthase 2 genetic variation rs2297514 associates with a decreased susceptibility to extremity post-traumatic osteomyelitis in a Chinese Han population. Front Cell Infect Microbiol 2023; 13:1177830. [PMID: 37465758 PMCID: PMC10350522 DOI: 10.3389/fcimb.2023.1177830] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/02/2023] [Accepted: 06/12/2023] [Indexed: 07/20/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Previous studies have indicated that nitric oxide synthase 2 (NOS2) genetic variations are involved in delayed fracture healing and fracture non-union. Whether these genetic variants associate with the development of osteomyelitis (OM) remains unclear. Here, we analyzed the potential relationships between NOS2 genetic variations and the risk of developing post-traumatic OM (PTOM) in a Chinese Han population. Methods Altogether 704 participants, including 336 PTOM patients and 368 healthy controls, were genotyped of rs2297514 and rs2248814 of the NOS2 gene using the SNaPshot genotyping method. Results Outcomes showed that the frequency of allele C of rs2297514 in the patient group was significantly lower than that in the control group (48.7% vs. 54.5%, P = 0.029, OR = 0.792, 95% CI 0.642 - 0.976). In addition, significant associations were found between rs2297514 and susceptibility to PTOM by the recessive model (P = 0.007, OR = 0.633, 95% CI 0.453 - 0.884), and the homozygous model (P = 0.039, OR = 0.648, 95% CI 0.429 - 0.979). Moreover, patients with the CC genotype of rs2297514 had lower inflammatory biomarkers levels than the TT genotype, especially for the C-reactive protein (CRP) level (median: 4.1 mg/L vs. 8.9 mg/L, P = 0.027). However, no significant relationship was noted between rs2248814 and the risk of developing PTOM. Conclusion In this Chinese cohort, rs2297514 is correlated with a decreased risk of PTOM development, with genotype CC as a protective factor.

Abstract
Purpose Nonunion of fractures occurs in about 15% of all fractures causing repeated surgical interference and prolonged morbidity. We performed this systematic review to assess genes and polymorphisms influencing fractures' nonunion (FNU). Methods We searched between 2000 and July 2022 in PubMed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials and Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Genome Wide Association Studies (GWAS) Catalog, and the Science Citation Index, with the keywords nonunion of fractures, genetic influence, and GWAS. The exclusion criteria were review articles and correspondence. The data were retrieved to determine the number of studies, genes, and polymorphisms and the total number of subjects screened. Results A total of 79 studies were reported on nonunion of fractures and genetic influence. After the inclusion and exclusion criteria, ten studies with 4402 patients' data were analyzed. Nine studies were case-controlled, and 1 GWAS. It was identified that patients with polymorphisms in the genes ANXA3, BMP2, CALY, CYR61, FGFR1, IL1β, NOG, NOS2, PDGF gene, and TACR1 are prone to develop a nonunion of fractures. Conclusion We believe that for patients who develop an early nonunion of fractures, a genetic study should be conducted for single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and genes so that alternative and more aggressive treatment can be performed to heal fractures without prolonged morbidity.

J Cell Mol Med 2022; 26:601-623. [PMID: 34984803 PMCID: PMC8817135 DOI: 10.1111/jcmm.17096] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/10/2021] [Revised: 10/19/2021] [Accepted: 11/05/2021] [Indexed: 01/13/2023] Open
Abstract
Fracture non‐union represents a common complication, seen in 5%–10% of all acute fractures. Despite the enhancement in scientific understanding and treatment methods, rates of fracture non‐union remain largely unchanged over the years. This systematic review investigates the biological, molecular and genetic profiles of both (i) non‐union tissue and (ii) non–union‐related tissues, and the genetic predisposition to fracture non‐union. This is crucially important as it could facilitate earlier identification and targeted treatment of high‐risk patients, along with improving our understanding on pathophysiology of fracture non‐union. Since this is an update on our previous systematic review, we searched the literature indexed in PubMed Medline; Ovid Medline; Embase; Scopus; Google Scholar; and the Cochrane Library using Medical Subject Heading (MeSH) or Title/Abstract words (non‐union(s), non‐union(s), human, tissue, bone morphogenic protein(s) (BMPs) and MSCs) from August 2014 (date of our previous publication) to 2 October 2021 for non‐union tissue studies, whereas no date restrictions imposed on non–union‐related tissue studies. Inclusion criteria of this systematic review are human studies investigating the characteristics and properties of non‐union tissue and non–union‐related tissues, available in full‐text English language. Limitations of this systematic review are exclusion of animal studies, the heterogeneity in the definition of non‐union and timing of tissue harvest seen in the included studies, and the search term MSC which may result in the exclusion of studies using historical terms such as ‘osteoprogenitors’ and ‘skeletal stem cells’. A total of 24 studies (non‐union tissue: n = 10; non–union‐related tissues: n = 14) met the inclusion criteria. Soft tissue interposition, bony sclerosis of fracture ends and complete obliteration of medullary canal are commonest macroscopic appearances of non‐unions. Non‐union tissue colour and surrounding fluid are two important characteristics that could be used clinically to distinguish between septic and aseptic non‐unions. Atrophic non‐unions had a predominance of endochondral bone formation and lower cellular density, when compared against hypertrophic non‐unions. Vascular tissues were present in both atrophic and hypertrophic non‐unions, with no difference in vessel density between the two. Studies have found non‐union tissue to contain biologically active MSCs with potential for osteoblastic, chondrogenic and adipogenic differentiation. Proliferative capacity of non‐union tissue MSCs was comparable to that of bone marrow MSCs. Rates of cell senescence of non‐union tissue remain inconclusive and require further investigation. There was a lower BMP expression in non‐union site and absent in the extracellular matrix, with no difference observed between atrophic and hypertrophic non‐unions. The reduced BMP‐7 gene expression and elevated levels of its inhibitors (Chordin, Noggin and Gremlin) could potentially explain impaired bone healing observed in non‐union MSCs. Expression of Dkk‐1 in osteogenic medium was higher in non‐union MSCs. Numerous genetic polymorphisms associated with fracture non‐union have been identified, with some involving the BMP and MMP pathways. Further research is required on determining the sensitivity and specificity of molecular and genetic profiling of relevant tissues as a potential screening biomarker for fracture non‐unions.

Abstract
Articular cartilage injuries are common orthopedic conditions that severely affect the quality of life of patients. Tissue engineering can facilitate cartilage repair and the key points involve scaffolding and seed cell selection. Pre-experiments found a range of microstructures of bioceramic scaffolds suitable for chondrocyte adhesion and proliferation, and maintaining chondrocyte phenotype. Three-dimensional cultures of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (BMSC) scaffolds were implanted into mice. According to the shape of the bioceramic scaffolds and the implantation time in vivo, RNA sequencing was performed on the removed scaffolds to explore the molecular mechanism. The in vitro bone plate culture can induce differentiation of chondrocytes, making culture different to that produced in vitro. Implantation of scaffolds in vivo increases the expression of bone-related genes. The ceramic rod-like material was found to be superior to the disc shape, and the bone repair effect was more marked with longer implantation times. Gene Ontology analysis revealed that ‘cell chemotaxis’, ‘negative regulation of ossification’ and ‘bone development’ pathways were involved in recovery. It was further confirmed that BMSCs were suitable as seed cells for cartilage tissue engineering, and that the β-tricalcium phosphate scaffold maybe ideal as cartilage tissue engineering scaffold material. The present research provided new insights into the molecular mechanism of cartilage repair by BMSCs and bioceramic scaffolds. Bioinformatics analysis revealed that AMMECR1L-like protein, tumor necrosis factor-induced protein 2, inhibitor of nuclear factor-B kinase subunit and protein kinase C type and ‘negative regulation of ossification’ and ‘bone development’ pathways may be involved in osteoblast maturation and bone regeneration.

Abstract
Approximately 10-15% of fracture patients suffer impaired healing, which is either delayed or even results in non-union. We performed a Systematic Review, aiming to examine the types and frequency of specific genetic abnormalities in patients experiencing bone fracture and to ascertain whether a genetic association exists regarding the tendency for some patients to suffer fracture non-union or postoperative non-union events. GO and KEGG analyses were used to identify the likely function of the genes involved. Furthermore, we evaluated the functional significance of single nucleotide polymorphisms using RegulomeDB and GTEx. Seven eligible studies involving 29 genes and 89 SNPs were analyzed in this review. We found that the polymorphisms in gene NOS2, NOG, BMP4, CYR61, IL1β and FGFR1 apparently predisposed patients to fracture non-union, while the polymorphisms in gene MMP13, BMP6 and FAM5C appeared to provide protection from non-union. Bioinformatics analysis suggested that these genes were enriched in inflammatory pathways, suggesting that inflammation may be a potential factor involved in fracture non-union. Three SNPs (rs17563, rs3753793 and rs2853550) had smaller RegulomeDB scores, indicating significant biological function. In conclusion, we have identified a number of genes and their polymorphisms that might contribute to a genetic susceptibility to fracture non-union. Further studies with larger cohorts will enhance our understanding of fracture non-union and may inform and direct early interventions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To compare failure rates for stainless steel (SS) and titanium alloy (TiA) bone screws (BSs) placed in the infrazygomatic crest (IZC). MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 386 consecutive patients (76 male, 310 female; mean age 24.3 years, range 10.3-59.4 years) received IZC BSs (SS or TiA) via a double-blind, split-mouth design. BSs penetrated attached gingiva (AG) or moveable mucosa (MM) with 5 mm of soft tissue clearance. All BSs were immediately loaded and reactivated monthly with ≤14 oz (397 g or 389 cN) applied directly to the upper archwire bilaterally for 6 months to retract the maxilla to correct Class II or bimaxillary protrusion. RESULTS Of the 772 devices, there were 49 (6.3%) failures: 27 SS (7.0%) and 22 TiA (5.7%). The 1.3% difference was not statistically significant ( P = .07). There was no significant relationship between SS or TiA failures relative to (1) right vs left side, (2) unilateral vs bilateral, or (3) age at failure. Significantly ( P < .05) increased failure rates were noted for SS screws in only two subgroups: AG site (7.4%) and right side (7.8%). Unilateral failure occurred in 21 patients (5.4%), and bilateral failures occurred in 14 of the total 772 patients (1.8%). CONCLUSIONS The overall success rate of 93.7% indicates that both SS and TiA are clinically acceptable for IZC BSs.
