[PMID: 37836475 PMCID: PMC10574084 DOI: 10.3390/nu15194191] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/15/2023] [Revised: 09/08/2023] [Accepted: 09/12/2023] [Indexed: 10/15/2023] Open
Abstract
(1) Many studies have attempted to utilize metabolomic approaches to explore potential biomarkers for the early detection of osteoarthritis (OA), but consistent and high-level evidence is still lacking. In this study, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of differential small molecule metabolites between OA patients and healthy individuals to screen promising candidates from a large number of samples with the aim of informing future prospective studies. (2) Methods: We searched the EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, PubMed, Web of Science, Wan Fang Data, VIP Date, and CNKI up to 11 August 2022, and selected relevant records based on inclusion criteria. The risk of bias was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa quality assessment scale. We performed qualitative synthesis by counting the frequencies of changing directions and conducted meta-analyses using the random effects model and the fixed-effects model to calculate the mean difference and 95% confidence interval. (3) Results: A total of 3798 records were identified and 13 studies with 495 participants were included. In the 13 studies, 132 kinds of small molecule differential metabolites were extracted, 58 increased, 57 decreased and 17 had direction conflicts. Among them, 37 metabolites appeared more than twice. The results of meta-analyses among four studies showed that three metabolites increased, and eight metabolites decreased compared to healthy controls (HC). (4) Conclusions: The main differential metabolites between OA and healthy subjects were amino acids (AAs) and their derivatives, including tryptophan, lysine, leucine, proline, phenylalanine, glutamine, dimethylglycine, citrulline, asparagine, acetylcarnitine and creatinine (muscle metabolic products), which could be potential biomarkers for predicting OA.

Adrenal steroid metabolites and bone status in patients with adrenal incidentalomas and hypercortisolism. EBioMedicine 2023; 95:104733. [PMID: 37543511 PMCID: PMC10505782 DOI: 10.1016/j.ebiom.2023.104733] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/21/2023] [Revised: 07/13/2023] [Accepted: 07/13/2023] [Indexed: 08/07/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Autonomous cortisol secretion (ACS), resulting from cortisol-producing adenomas (CPA), causes endogenous steroid-induced osteoporosis (SIOP). However, the risk of endogenous SIOP cannot be explained by cortisol excess alone, and how other steroid metabolites affect bone status is unclear. METHODS ACS was diagnosed as serum cortisol ≥1.8 μg/dL after the 1-mg dexamethasone suppression test (DST-cortisol). Using liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry, 21 plasma steroid metabolites were measured in 73 patients with ACS and 85 patients with non-functioning adrenal tumors (NFAT). Expression of steroidogenic enzymes and relevant steroid metabolites were analyzed in some of CPA tissues. FINDINGS Discriminant and principal component analyses distinguished steroid profiles between the ACS and NFAT groups in premenopausal women. Premenopausal women with ACS exhibited higher levels of a mineralocorticoid metabolite, 11-deoxycorticosterone (11-DOC), and lower levels of androgen metabolites, dehydroepiandrosterone-sulfate, and androsterone-glucuronide. In premenopausal women with ACS, DST-cortisol negatively correlated with trabecular bone score (TBS). Additionally, 11-DOC negatively correlated with lumbar spine-bone mineral density, whereas androsterone-glucuronide positively correlated with TBS. The CPA tissues showed increased 11-DOC levels with increased expression of CYP21A2, essential for 11-DOC synthesis. Adrenal non-tumor tissues were atrophied with reduced expression of CYB5A, required for androgen synthesis. INTERPRETATION This study demonstrates that unbalanced production of adrenal steroid metabolites, derived from both adrenal tumor and non-tumor tissues, contributes to the pathogenesis of endogenous SIOP in premenopausal women with ACS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most prevalent musculoskeletal diseases and is the leading cause of pain and disability in the aged population. However, the underlying biological mechanism has not been fully understood. This study aims to reveal the causal effect of circulation metabolites on OA susceptibility. METHODS A two-sample Mendelian Randomization (MR) analysis was performed to estimate the causality of GDMs on OA. A genome-wide association study (GWAS) of 486 metabolites was used as the exposure, whereas 8 different OA phenotypes, including any-site OA (All OA), knee and/or hip OA (knee/hip OA), knee OA, hip OA, spine OA, finger and/or thumb OA (hand OA), finger OA, thumb OA, were set the outcomes. Inverse-variance weighted (IVW) was used for calculating causal estimates. Methods including weight mode, weight median, MR-egger, and MR-PRESSO were used for the sensitive analysis. Furthermore, metabolic pathway analysis was performed via the web-based Metaconflict 4.0. All statistical analyses were performed in R software. RESULTS In this MR analysis, a total of 235 causative associations between metabolites and different OA phenotypes were observed. After false discovery rate (FDR) correction and sensitive analysis, 9 robust causative associations between 7 metabolites (e.g., arginine, kynurenine, and isovalerylcarnitine) and 5 OA phenotypes were finally identified. Additionally, eleven significant metabolic pathways in 4 OA phenotypes were identified by metabolic pathway analysis. CONCLUSION The finding of our study suggested that identified metabolites and metabolic pathways can be considered useful circulating metabolic biomarkers for OA screening and prevention in clinical practice, and can also serve as candidate molecules for future mechanism exploration and drug target selection.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Global aging has made osteoporosis an increasingly serious public health problem. Osteoporotic fractures seriously affect the quality of life of patients and increase disability and mortality rates. Early diagnosis is important for timely intervention. The continuous development of individual- and multi-omics methods is helpful for the exploration and discovery of biomarkers for the diagnosis of osteoporosis. AREAS COVERED In this review, we first introduce the epidemiological status of osteoporosis and then describe the pathogenesis of osteoporosis. Furthermore, the latest progress in individual- and multi-omics technologies for exploring biomarkers for osteoporosis diagnosis is summarized. Moreover, we clarify the advantages and disadvantages of the application of osteoporosis biomarkers obtained using the omics method. Finally, we put forward valuable views on the future research direction of diagnostic biomarkers of osteoporosis. EXPERT OPINION Omics methods undoubtedly provide greatly contribute to the exploration of diagnostic biomarkers of osteoporosis; however, in the future, the clinical validity and clinical utility of the obtained potential biomarkers should be thoroughly examined. In addition, the improvement and optimization of the detection methods for different types of biomarkers and standardization of the detection process guarantee the reliability and accuracy of the detection results.

Abstract
To investigate the effects of claw lesion types and bone mineral density on lameness in boars, the data of claw lesion score, gait score, and bone mineral density, measured by a Miniomin ultrasound bone densitometer, were collected from a total of 739 Duroc boars. Firstly, we discovered that the prevalence of claw lesions was as high as 95.26% in boars. The percentage of lameness of boars with SWE was higher than those with other claw lesions. Meanwhile, the results showed that the probability of lameness was higher in boars with lower bone mineral density (p < 0.05). Logistic regression models, including variables of boar age, body weight, serum mineral level, and housing type, were used to identify the influencing factors of bone mineral density in this study. The results found that bone mineral density increases with age before reaching a maximum value at 43 months of age, and begins to decrease after 43 months of age. Elevated serum Ca levels were significantly associated with an increase in bone mineral density (p < 0.05). Aside from the above findings, we also made an interesting discovery that boars in the individual pen model significantly increased bone mineral density compared to those in the individual stall model. In conclusion, claw lesions and bone mineral density were significantly associated with lameness. Age, serum Ca, and housing type are the potential influencing factors for bone mineral density in boars.

Abstract
PURPOSE Osteoarthritis (OA) is a joint disease that is clinically diagnosed using components of history, physical exam, and characteristic radiographic findings, such as joint space narrowing. Currently, there are no laboratory findings that are specific to a diagnosis of OA. The purpose of this systematic review is to evaluate the state of current studies of metabolomic biomarkers that can aid in the diagnosis and treatment of OA. METHODS Articles were gathered from PubMed and Web of Science using the search terms "osteoarthritis" and "biomarkers" and "metabolomics". Last search of databases took place December 3rd, 2022. Duplicates were manually screened, along with any other results that were not original journal articles. Only original reports involving populations with diagnosed primary or secondary OA (human participants) or surgically induced OA (animal participants) and a healthy control group for comparison were considered for inclusion. Metabolites and metabolic pathways reported in included articles were then manually extracted and evaluated for importance based on reported a priori p-values and/or area under the receiver-operator curve (AUC). RESULTS Of the 161 results that were returned in the database searches, 43 unique articles met the inclusion criteria. Articles were categorized based on body fluid analyzed: 6 studies on urine samples, 13 studies on plasma samples, 11 studies on synovial fluid (SF) samples, 11 studies on serum samples, 1 study on both synovial fluid and serum, and 1 study that involved both plasma and synovial fluid. To synthesize results, individual metabolites, as well as metabolic pathways that involve frequently reported metabolites, are presented for each study. Indications as to whether metabolite levels were increased or decreased are also included if this data was included in the original articles. CONCLUSIONS These studies clearly show that there are a wide range of metabolic pathways perturbed in OA. For this period, there was no consensus on a single metabolite, or panel of metabolites, that would be clinically useful in early diagnosis of OA or distinguishing OA from a healthy control. However, many common metabolic pathways were identified in the studies, including TCA cycle, fatty acid metabolism, amino acid metabolism (notably BCAA metabolism and tryptophan metabolism via kynurenine pathway), nucleotide metabolism, urea cycle, cartilage matrix components, and phospholipid metabolism. Future research is needed to define effective clinical biomarkers of osteoarthritis from metabolomic and other data.

Abstract
Osteoporosis (OP) is a systemic disease characterized by bone metabolism imbalance and bone microstructure destruction, which causes serious social and economic burden. At present, the diagnosis and treatment of OP mainly rely on imaging combined with drugs. However, the existing pathogenic mechanisms, diagnosis and treatment strategies for OP are not clear and effective enough, and the disease progression that cannot reflect OP further restricts its effective treatment. The application of metabolomics has facilitated the study of OP, further exploring the mechanism and behavior of bone cells, prevention, and treatment of the disease from various metabolic perspectives, finally realizing the possibility of a holistic approach. In this review, we focus on the application of metabolomics in OP research, especially the newer systematic application of metabolomics and treatment with herbal medicine and their extracts. In addition, the prospects of clinical transformation in related fields are also discussed. The aim of this study is to highlight the use of metabolomics in OP research, especially in exploring the pathogenesis of OP and the therapeutic mechanisms of natural herbal medicine, for the benefit of interdisciplinary researchers including clinicians, biologists, and materials engineers.
