A metabolomic study on early detection of steroid-induced avascular necrosis of the femoral head.

ABSTRACT: The early and accurate diagnosis of steroid-induced avascular necrosis of the femoral head (SANFH) is appealing considering its irreversible progression and serious consequence for the patients. The purpose of this study was to investigate the metabolic change of SANFH for its early detection. Two stages were designed in this study, namely discovery and verification. Except the biochemical index anomaly and the accidental death, 30 adult healthy adult Japanese white rabbits were used for screening out the potential metabolites in discovery experiment and 13 rabbits were used in verification experiment. The femoral heads were assessed with magnetic resonance imaging and transmission electron microscopy. The metabolomic profiling of serum samples were analysis by UHPLC-MS/MS. Metabolomic cluster analysis enable us to differentiate the rabbits without and with injection of the glucocorticoid in 1 week even when there is no obvious abnormal symptom in behaviors or imaging diagnosis. The majority of differential metabolites were identified as phospholipids which were observed significant change after injection of glucocorticoid in 1, 2, 3 weeks. And the results obtained in verification experiment of 6 weeks showed that these differential metabolites exhibited consistent trends in late progression with that in early-stage. At the end of 6 weeks the damage of SANFH could be verified by pathological imaging. Therefore the finding of serum metabolite profile links to the progression of SANFH and provides the potential of early detection of SANFH.

Project description:The steriod-induced necrosis of femoral head(SINFH) is a serious clinical problem and the underlying mechanism of this disease remains unknown. As its etiology and pathogenesis are not clear, there hasn’t been an effective treatment yet. In-depth studies on its pathogenesis will provide important information for the prevention and treatment of this devastated disease. Animal model researches are helpful to a better understanding of its etiology and pathogenesis, to early diagnosis and treatments and provide the basis for clinical treatment It has been proved that the occurrence of SINFH is related to gene itself and its polymorphism. These studies, in which only one or a few genes were investigated, could not provide a comprehensive understanding to the pathogenesis of SINFH. We used microarrays to compare the gene expression profile of SINFH rats with that of normal rats and identified gene expression changes between SINFH rats and normal rats. Adult healthy male Wistar rats(body weight 200±10g) were randomly divided into control and experimental groups. All the rats were given injection of E. coli endotoxin at a dose of 20μg/kg body weight into abdominal cavity for two times with a 24 hour interval. 24 hours after the second administration of E. coli endotoxin, methylprednisolone 40mg/kg was administered into the left gluteus muscle of experimental group rats for three times with a 24 hour interval. Rats were then killed 6 weeks after steroid administration. In experiment, immediately after death the left femoral heads were isolated. Femoral heads were used for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. We sought to obtain the gene expression profile of SINFH rats and that of normal rats in order to identified gene expression changes between SINFH rats and normal rats by comparing the gene expression profile of SINFH rats with that of normal rats. To that end, we have established the gene expression profiles of normal and SINFH disease of rat femoral head and found out differentially expressed genes.
