Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteoporosis is the most common metabolic bone disease in humans. Exploring the expression difference of iron metabolism-related genes in osteoporosis can provide a new target for diagnosis and treatment. METHODS First, we used online databases to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) related to iron metabolism in patients with osteoporosis. The differential genes were comprehensively analyzed by bioinformatics method (GO, KEGG, GSEA, immune infiltration analysis, PPI). The expression levels of hub genes and important signaling pathways were verified by qRT-PCR and Western blotting. RESULTS A total of 23 iron metabolism-related genes with significant differences were identified, which were enriched in "regulation of protein dephosphorylation" and "negative regulation of protein dephosphorylation". The GSEA results, heme metabolism and Myc targets v1 were among the top two pathways, both upregulated. The immune infiltration analysis revealed that the expressions of genes such as ABCA5, D2HGDH, GNAI2, and CTSW were correlated with the infiltration degree of significantly different cells. The PPI network contained 12 differentially expressed iron metabolism-related genes. Additionally, YWHAE, TGFB1, PPP1R15A, TOP2A, and CALR were mined as hub genes using the Cytoscape software. qRT PCR showed that the expression of TGF-β1, YWHAE, TOP2A and CALR increased. We also verified the expression of related proteins and genes in the oxidative stress signaling pathway by qRT PCR and Western blotting. The results showed that Mob1, YAP and TAZ molecules were highly expressed at the gene and protein levels. CONCLUSIONS These differentially expressed iron metabolism-related genes could provide new potential targets for the diagnosis and treatment of osteoporosis.

Abstract
Chronic cervical spondylitis (CCS), a degenerative disorder of the spine, is known for causing disability among old and young people. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in various cytokine genes have demonstrated an impactful association with several inflammatory disorders. In the present study, we have investigated the SNPs and allelic distribution of the three most prevalent cytokines genes, IL-1β (-511C/T), TNF-α (-308G/A), and TGF-β (-509C/T), along with serum levels of these cytokines in 252 subjects. SNPs were analyzed using the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP), and digested fragments were separated and visualized using agarose gel electrophoresis and Native Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE). The serum cytokine levels were analyzed with a flow cytometer using a customized multiplex bead-based assay. It was observed that these SNPs did not reflect the susceptibility to CCS but were associated with susceptibility to CCS. We found a significant association between the C/C and G/G genotypes and the C and G alleles of IL-1β and TNF-α, respectively, suggesting a lower risk of CCS. The frequency distribution of risk alleles (-511T) and (-308A) were simultaneously higher in CCS compared to the control, reflecting the susceptibility to CCS. TGF-β showed a significant association with disease susceptibility, along with a significant correlation between age and the chronicity of CCS. The serum cytokine levels were significantly different in CCS and controls.

Investigating the causal relationship between ankylosing spondylitis and osteoporosis in the European population: a bidirectional Mendelian randomization study. Front Immunol 2023; 14:1163258. [PMID: 37359532 PMCID: PMC10285397 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2023.1163258] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/10/2023] [Accepted: 05/23/2023] [Indexed: 06/28/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) is an inflammatory condition affecting the spine, which may lead to complications such as osteoporosis (OP). Many observational studies have demonstrated a close relationship with strong evidence between OP and AS. The combination of AS and OP is already an indisputable fact, but the exact mechanism of AS complicated with OP is unclear. To better prevent and treat OP in patients with AS, it is necessary to understand the specific mechanism of OP in these patients. In addition, there is a study showing that OP is a risk factor for AS, but the causal relationship between them is not yet clear. Therefore, we conducted a bidirectional Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to determine whether there is a direct causal effect between AS and OP and to investigate the co-inherited genetic information between the two. Methods Bone mineral density (BMD) was used as a phenotype for OP. The AS dataset was taken from the IGAS consortium and included people of European ancestry (9,069 cases and 13,578 controls). BMD datasets were obtained from the GEFOS consortium, a large GWAS meta-analysis study, and the UK Biobank and were categorized based on site (total body (TB): 56,284 cases; lumbar spine (LS): 28,498 cases; femoral neck (FN): 32,735 cases; forearm (FA): 8,143 cases; and heel: 265,627 cases) and age (0-15: 11,807 cases; 15-30: 4,180 cases; 30-45: 10,062 cases; 45-60: 18,062 cases; and over 60: 22,504 cases).To obtain the casual estimates, the inverse variant weighted (IVW) method was mainly used due to its good statistical power and robustness. The presence of heterogeneity was evaluated using Cochran's Q test. Pleiotropy was assessed utilizing MR-Egger regression and MR-pleiotropy residual sum and outlier (MR-PRESSO). Results Generally, there were no significant causal associations between genetically predicted AS and decreased BMD levels. The results of MR-Egger regression, Weighted Median, and Weighted Mode methods were consistent with those of the IVW method. However, there was a sign of a connection between genetically elevated BMD levels and a decreased risk of AS (Heel-BMD: OR = 0.879, 95% CI: 0.795-0.971, P = 0.012; Total-BMD: OR = 0.948, 95% CI: 0.907-0.990, P = 0.017; LS-BMD: OR = 0.919, 95% CI: 0.861-0.980, P = 0.010). The results were confirmed to be reliable by sensitivity analysis. Conclusion This MR study found that the causal association between genetic liability to AS and the risk of OP or lower BMD in the European population was not evident, which highlights the second effect (e.g., mechanical reasons such as limited movement) of AS on OP. However, genetically predicted decreased BMD/OP is a risk factor for AS with a causal relationship, implying that patients with OP should be aware of the potential risk of developing AS. Moreover, OP and AS share similar pathogenesis and pathways.

Abstract
Background Osteoporosis (OP) is a common metabolic bone disease characterized by loss of bone mass. IL-10 is considered to be a powerful immune and inflammatory suppressor. This study aimed to assess association between genetic loci in IL-10 and susceptibility to OP. Methods Association analysis between IL-10 genetic loci and OP risk through SNPStats online software. FPRP analysis (false-positive report probability) verified whether the positive results were noteworthy findings. Linkage disequilibrium (LD) and haplotype analysis were completed by Haploview 4.2 and SNPStats. Multi-factor dimensionality reduction (MDR) was used to assess interaction of SNP-SNP in susceptibility to OP. Results Allele "G" of IL-10-rs1554286 (OR = 1.21, p = 0.013), allele "C" of IL-10-rs1518111 (OR = 1.22, p = 0.011), allele "C" of IL-10-rs3024490 (OR = 1.20, p = 0.018), and allele "G" of IL-10-rs1800871 (OR = 1.21, p = 0.015) were risk factors for OP. In females, smoking, drinking, or aging ≤60 years old participants, the above genetic loci are also significantly associated with the increased risk of OP. FPRP analysis showed that all positive results are noteworthy findings. There are significant differences in serum levels of uric acid, mean hemoglobin concentration, or mean hemoglobin among different genotypes of IL-10 gene loci. MDR showed that four loci model composed rs1554286, rs1518111, rs3021094, and rs1800871 is the best model for predicting OP risk. Conclusion IL-10-rs1554286, -rs1518111, -rs3021094, and -rs1800871 are risk factors for susceptibility to OP.

SOD3 and IL-18 Predict the First Kidney Disease-Related Hospitalization or Death during the One-Year Follow-Up Period in Patients with End-Stage Renal Disease. Antioxidants (Basel) 2022; 11:antiox11061198. [PMID: 35740095 PMCID: PMC9231321 DOI: 10.3390/antiox11061198] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/22/2022] [Revised: 06/14/2022] [Accepted: 06/16/2022] [Indexed: 01/27/2023] Open
Abstract
End-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients experience oxidative stress due to excess exogenous or endogenous oxidants and insufficient antioxidants. Hence, oxidative stress and inflammation cause endothelial damage, contributing to vascular dysfunction and atherosclerosis. Therefore, ESRD patients suffer more cardiovascular and hospitalization events than healthy people. This study aims to test the correlations between ROS, SOD3, IL-2, IL-6, and IL-18 and the first kidney disease-related hospitalization or death events in ESRD patients undergoing regular hemodialysis. A total of 212 participants was enrolled, including 45 normal healthy adults and 167 ESRD patients on regular dialysis. Blood samples from all participants were collected for ROS, SOD3, IL-2, IL-6, and IL-18 measurement at the beginning of the study, and every kidney disease-related admission or death was recorded for the next year. Multivariate analysis was conducted by fitting a linear regression model, logistic regression model, and Cox proportional hazards model to estimate the adjusted effects of risk factors, prognostic factors, or predictors on continuous, binary, and survival outcome data. The results showed that plasma SOD3 and serum IL-18 were two strong predictors of the first kidney disease-related hospitalization or death. In the Cox proportional hazards models (run in R), higher IL-18 concentration (>69.054 pg/mL) was associated with a hazard ratio of 3.376 for the first kidney disease-related hospitalization or death (95% CI: 1.2644 to 9.012), while log(SOD3) < 4.723 and dialysis clearance (Kt/V; 1.11 < value < 1.869) had a hazard ratio = 0.2730 (95% CI: 0.1133 to 0.6576) for reducing future kidney disease-related hospitalization or death. Other markers, including body mass index (BMI), transferrin saturation, total iron binding capacity, and sodium and alkaline phosphate, were also found to be significant in our study. These results reveal the new predictors SOD3 and IL-18 for the medical care of end-stage renal disease patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Osteoporosis (OP) is a comorbidity of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) that largely causes disability. This study discussed the expression patterns of serum immunoregulatory factors and their clinical significance in RA patients complicated with OP. METHODS A total of 116 RA patients were enrolled. Bone mineral density (BMD) was measured using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry to allocate patients to OP group (N = 62) and non-OP group (N = 54). CRP, rheumatoid factor, IgG, IgA, and IgM were detected using rate nephelometry. Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and bone metabolic indexes were detected using Microsed automatic ESR analyzer and Cobas e601 automated immunoassay systems and reagents. IL-17, IL-6, TNF-α, IL-10, and IL-4 levels were determined using ELISA kit and their prediction values on OP were analyzed using the ROC curve. Influencing factors of OP incidence were analyzed using logistic regression model. RESULTS RA patients with OP showed increased age, disease course, tender and swollen joints, ESR, CRP, DAS28 scores, β-CTX, IL-17, IL-6, and TNF-α, and decreased 25(OH)D3, IL-10, and IL-4. DAS28 was positively correlated with IL-17, IL-6, and TNF-α, and negatively correlated with IL-10 and IL-4. DAS28, IL-17, IL-10, and IL-4 were independently correlated with OP in RA patients. The combination of DAS28, IL-17, IL-10, and IL-4 can better predict the incidence of OP complication in RA patients. CONCLUSION IL-17, IL-6, TNF-α, IL-10, and IL-4 were associated with disease activity of RA patients complicated with OP. A combination of DAS28, IL-17, IL-10, and IL-4 might predict OP incidence in RA patients.

Abstract
Purpose. To discuss effects of phosphatase and tensin homolog protein (PTEN)-mediated transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β)/Smad homologue 2 (Smad2) pathway on osteogenic differentiation in osteoporotic (OP) tibial fracture rats and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (BMSC) under tension. Methods. A tibial fracture model was established. The rats were divided into sham-operated group and model group, and tibia tissue was collected. Purchase well-grown cultured rat BMSC, and use the Flexercell in vitro cell mechanics loading device to apply tension. The expression of PTEN was detected by qRT-PCR. After the BMSCs were transfected with si-PTEN and oe-PTEN, the force was applied to detect cell differentiation. The expression of TGF-β/Smad2 protein was detected by Western blot. The formation of calcium nodules in BMSC was detected by alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining and alizarin red (AR) staining. Results. The expression of PTEN was higher in the model group and tension MSC group, and the expression of TGF-β and Smad2 protein was lower. The expression of TGF-β and Smad2 protein in oe-PTEN group was lower than the oe-NC group and control group. The expression of TGF-β and Smad2 protein in si-PTEN group was higher than the si-NC group and control group. The results of ALP staining and AR staining also confirmed the above results. Conclusion. PTEN-mediated TGF-β/Smad2 pathway may play a key role in the osteogenic differentiation of OP tibial fracture rats. Downregulation of PTEN and upregulation of TGF-β/Smad2 signal can promote the osteogenic differentiation of BMSC under tension.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a clinically prevalent comorbidity in patients with hemophilia. A preventive effect of kefir peptides (KPs) on postmenopausal osteoporosis has been proved. The aim of this study was to evaluate the therapeutic effect of KPs for the treatment of osteoporosis in coagulation factor VIII (FVIII) gene knockout mice (F8KO), a model of hemophilia A. In this study, male F8KO mice at 20 weeks of age were orally administered different doses of KPs for 8 weeks. The therapeutic effects of KPs were shown in the femoral trabeculae and the 4th lumbar vertebrae, which increased the trabecular bone mineral density (BMD), bone volume (Tb.BV/TV), and trabecular number (Tb.N) and decreased the trabecular separation (Tb.Sp), and they were also observed in the femoral cortical bones, in which the mechanical properties were enhanced in a dose-dependent manner. Characterization of receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand (RANKL), osteoprotegerin (OPG), and interleukin 6 (IL-6) demonstrated that the serum RANKL/OPG ratio and IL-6 levels were significantly decreased in the F8KO mice after the KP treatment. Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining of mature osteoclasts indicated that the therapeutic effect of KPs in F8KO mice was associated with the functions of KPs to inhibit RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis by reducing serum RANKL/OPG ratio and IL-6 secretion. The present study is the first to address the potentials of KPs for the treatment of hemophilia-induced osteoporosis in mice and it also provides useful information for the application of KPs as a complementary therapy for the treatment of osteoporosis in hemophilic patients.
