Project description:The RANKL/RANK/OPG pathway plays an important role in regulating bone remodeling and bone turnover. However, the association of the genes variants with the risk of ONFH has rarely been reported. Here, we analyzed the correlation of the 10 SNPs polymorphisms of RANKL, RANK, OPG, TRAF6, and NFATC1 genes with the risk and development of ONFH in 200 ONFH patients and 177 health controls of Chinese population with using Mass ARRAY® platform. The results showed that the recessive model of NFATC1rs9518 was significantly associated with increased ONFH risk (OR:8.223, P=0.048); the proportion of stage Ⅳ patients in the rs9518TC genotype carriers was statistically higher than that of stage Ⅲ patients (P=0.03); in the T-C haplotype carriers of Naftac1, the proportion of bilateral hips lesions was also significantly enhanced than that of unilateral hip lesions(P=0.05). In addition, the proportion of idiopathic ONFH in the TT genotype carriers of OPGrs2073617 was significantly higher than that of steroid or alcohol-induced ONFH, respectively, while in the TC genotype carriers of the SNP, the proportion of idiopathic ONFH remarkably decreased compared with that of Alcohol-induced ONFH, P=0.021. Our results were first found that NFATC1rs9518 closely associated with the risk and the development of ONFH, while OPGrs2073617 statistically correlated with the etiological classification of ONFH.

Project description:PurposeDiabetic foot is a complication of long-lasting diabetes mellitus affecting up to 15% of patients, both in type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Osteoprotegerin is involved in osteogenesis and calcification. The aim of the study was to assess the role of selected osteoprotegerin gene variants in diabetes patients with diabetic foot.MethodsThe study involved 300 patients with diabetes and diabetic foot and 968 healthy controls. The study group was formed by 243 patients with diabetic foot of neuropathic origin, 102 with diabetic foot of neuroischemic origin and 77 with Charcot neuroarthropathy.ResultsCompared to controls, rs1872426 and rs1485286 showed correlation with diabetic foot in diabetes subjects. Significant associations between rs2073618, rs1872426, rs7464496 and rs1485286 in men were reported. The aforementioned correlations were also present in type 2 diabetes patient subgroup. Variant rs1485286 was associated to diabetic foot of neuropathic origin. Sex-specificity for females was present for rs6993813 in patients with diabetic foot of neuropathic origin and type 1 diabetes. Variants rs1872426, rs2073617 and rs1485286 were correlated with CN. We found that age, body weight, body mass index, waist circumference, hip circumference and waist-hip ratio were among the basic risk factors of diabetic foot.ConclusionsThe following variants TNFRSF11B (rs2073618, rs2073617, rs1872426, rs1032128, rs7464496, rs11573829 and rs1485286), COLEC10 (rs6993813, rs3134069) and TNFSF11 (rs9533156) present differences in allele frequencies in diabetic foot patients and show correlation with gender, diabetes type and diabetic foot etiology.

Project description:Bones as an alive organ consist of about 70% mineral and 30% organic component. About 200 million people are suffering from osteopenia and osteoporosis around the world. There are multiple ways of protecting bone from endogenous and exogenous risk factors. Planned physical activity is another useful way for protecting bone health. It has been investigated that arranged exercise would effectively regulate bone metabolism. Until now, a number of systems have discovered how exercise could help bone health. Previous studies reported different mechanisms of the effect of exercise on bone health by modulation of bone remodeling. However, the regulation of RANKL/RANK/OPG pathway in exercise and physical performance as one of the most important remodeling systems is not considered comprehensive in previous evidence. Therefore, the aim of this review is to clarify exercise influence on bone modeling and remodeling, with a concentration on its role in regulating RANKL/RANK/OPG pathway.

Project description:Alcohol-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is an important pathogenesis of nontraumatic ONFH. However, the mechanisms of the pathogenesis are still unknown. Osteoprotegerin (OPG) and receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B ligand (RANKL) have been implicated in multiple functions including blocking osteoclast maturation, controlling vascular calcifications, and promoting tumor growth and metastasis. The purpose of this article was to explore the association between OPG and RANKL gene variants and alcohol-induced ONFH. Six hundred seventy male subjects (335 patients and 335 normal individuals) were enrolled in our study. We selected 24 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) to evaluate the association between genetic susceptibility variants and alcohol-induced ONFH using the chi-square test and gene model analysis. Overall, the OPG SNPs (rs1032128 and rs11573828) were associated with the strongest increased risk of alcohol-induced ONFH in the recessive model (rs1032128: odds ratio [OR] 1.49, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.00-2.22, P?=?0.04 for G/A; rs11573828: OR 3.32, 95% CI 1.07-10.30, P?=?0.03 for T/C). The RANKL SNP rs2200287 was also an increased risk factor (OR 3.65, 95% CI 1.53-8.47, P?=?0.003 for T/C) in the recessive model. The rs11573856, rs3134056, and rs1564861 SNPs were considered protective factors for alcohol-induced ONFH. We concluded that OPG and RANKL polymorphisms were associated with the occurrence of alcohol-induced ONFH.

Project description:Age at menarche (AAM) and age at natural menopause (AANM) have been shown intimately associated with woman's health later in life. Previous studies have indicated that AAM and AANM are highly heritable. RANKL/RANK/OPG signaling pathway is essential for mammary gland development, which is also found associated with post-menopausal and hormone-related diseases. The aim of this study was to evaluate associations between the polymorphisms in the TNFSF11, TNFRSF11A and TNFRSF11B genes in the RANKL/RANK/OPG pathway with AAM and AANM in Chinese women.Post-menopausal Chinese women (n?=?845) aged from 42 to 89 years were recruited in the study. Information about AAM and AANM were obtained through questionnaires and the genomic DNA was isolated from peripheral blood from the participants. Total 21 tagging single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of TNFSF11, TNFRSF11A and TNFRSF11B were genotyped.Three SNPs of TNFRSF11A (rs4500848, rs6567270 and rs1805034) showed significant association with AAM (P?<?0.01, P?=?0.02 and P?=?0.01, respectively), and one SNP (rs9962159) was significantly associated with AANM (P?=?0.03). Haplotypes TC and AT (rs6567270-rs1805034) of TNFRSF11A were found to be significantly associated with AAM (P?=?0.01 and P?=?0.02, respectively), and haplotypes GC and AC (rs9962159-rs4603673) of TNFRSF11A showed significant association with AANM (P?=?0.03 and P?<?0.01, respectively). No significant association between TNFSF11 or TNFRSF11B gene with AAM or AANM was found.The present study suggests that TNFRSF11A but not TNFSF11 and TNFRSF11B genetic polymorphisms are associated with AAM and AANM in Chinese women. The findings provide evidence that genetic variations in RANKL/RANK/OPG pathway may be associated with the onset and cessation of the menstruation cycle.

Project description:Femoral neck compression strength index (fCSI), a novel phenotypic parameter that integrates bone density, bone size, and body size, has significant potential to improve hip fracture risk assessment. The genetic factors underlying variations in fCSI, however, remain largely unknown. Given the important roles of the receptor activator of the nuclear factor-kappaB ligand/receptor activator of the nuclear factor-kappaB/osteoprotegerin (RANKL/RANK/OPG) pathway in the regulation of bone remodeling, we tested the associations between RANKL/RANK/OPG polymorphisms and variations in fCSI as well as its components (femoral neck bone mineral density [fBMD], femoral neck width [FNW], and weight). This was accomplished with a sample comprising 1873 subjects from 405 Caucasian nuclear families. Of the 37 total SNPs studied in these three genes, 3 SNPs, namely, rs12585014, rs7988338, and rs2148073, of RANKL were significantly associated with fCSI (P = 0.0007, 0.0007, and 0.0005, respectively) after conservative Bonferroni correction. Moreover, the three SNPs were approximately in complete linkage disequilibrium. Haplotype-based association tests corroborated the single-SNP results since haplotype 1 of block 1 of the RANKL gene achieved an even more significant association with fCSI (P = 0.0003) than any of the individual SNPs. However, we did not detect any significant associations of these genes with fBMD, FNW, or weight. In summary, our findings suggest that the RANKL gene may play an important role in variation in fCSI, independent of fBMD and non-fBMD components.

Project description:BackgroundOsteoporosis is a chronic bone metabolism disorder affecting millions of the world population. The RANKL/RANK/OPG signaling pathway has been confirmed to be the main regulator of osteoporosis. It is of great interest to identify appropriate therapeutic agents that can regulate the RANKL/RANK/OPG pathway. Baicalin (BA) is a well-known traditional Chinese medicine formula against various inflammatory diseases with a proven role of the RANKL/RANK/OPG pathway regulation. However, the potential effect of BA on osteoporosis and the mechanisms underlying this remain unclear. In the present study, we aimed to evaluate the efficacy of BA in the prevention of dexamethasone (DEX)-induced osteoporosis in zebrafish.MethodsIn this study, growth and development changes of zebrafish and calcein staining were assessed with a micrograph. The expression levels of RANKL and OPG and transcription factors in response to DEX induction and BA administration were evaluated by Western blotting and qRT-PCR. In addition, the intermolecular interactions of BA and RANKL were investigated by molecular docking.ResultsResults show that BA enhances the growth and development of dexamethasone (DEX)-induced osteoporosis in zebrafish larvae. Calcein staining and calcium and phosphorus determination revealed that BA ameliorates mineralization of DEX-induced osteoporosis zebrafish larvae. BA also regulates the expression of RANKL and OPG and hampers the changes in gene expression related to bone formation and resorption under the induction of DEX in zebrafish. It can be inferred by molecular docking that BA may interact directly with the extracellular domain of RANKL.ConclusionThe findings, herein, reveal that BA ameliorates DEX-induced osteoporosis by regulation of the RANK/RANKL/OPG signaling pathway.

Project description:RANKL and RANK are expressed in different cell types and tissues throughout the body. They were originally described for their essential roles in bone remodeling and the immune system but have subsequently been shown to provide essential signals from regulating mammary gland homeostasis during pregnancy to modulating tumorigenesis. The success of RANKL/RANK research serves as a paragon for translational research from the laboratory to the bedside. The case in point has been the development of Denosumab, a RANKL-blocking monoclonal antibody which has already helped millions of patients suffering from post-menopausal osteoporosis and skeletal related events in cancer. Here we will provide an overview of the pathway from its origins to its clinical relevance in disease, with a special focus on emerging evidence demonstrating the therapeutic value of targeting the RANKL/RANK/OPG axis not only in breast cancer but also as an addition to the cancer immunotherapy arsenal.

Project description:AIM: Lactoferrin (LF), an 80-kDa iron-binding glycoprotein, is a pleiotropic factor found in colostrum, milk, saliva and epithelial cells of the exocrine glands. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of LF on the bones in ovariectomized (Ovx) rats and to identify the pathways that mediate the anabolic action of LF on the bones. METHODS: Female Sprague-Dawley rats (6-month-old) underwent ovariectomy, and were treated with different doses of LF (10, 100, 1000, and 2000 mg·kg(-1)·d(-1), po) or with 7β-estradiol (0.1 mg·kg(-1), im, each week) as the positive control. By the end of 6 month-treatments, the bone mass and microstructure in the rats were scanned by micro-computed tomography (micro-CT), and the bone metabolism was evaluated with specific markers, and the mRNA levels of osteoprotegerin (OPG) and the receptor-activator of nuclear factor κB ligand (RANKL) in femur were measured using qRT-PCR. RESULTS: LF treatment dose-dependently elevated the bone volume (BV/TV), trabecular thickness (TbTh) and trabecular number (TbN), and reduced the trabecular separation (TbSp) in Ovx rats. Furthermore, higher doses of LF (1000 and 2000 mg·kg(-1)·d(-1)) significantly increased the bone mineral density (BMD) compared with the untreated Ovx rats. The higher doses of LF also significantly increased the serum levels of OC and BALP, and decreased the serum levels of β-CTx and NTX. LF treatment significantly increased the OPG mRNA levels, and suppressed the RANKL mRNA levels, and the RANKL/OPG mRNA ratio in Ovx rats. CONCLUSION: Oral administration of LF preserves the bone mass and improves the bone microarchitecture. LF enhances bone formation, reduces bone resorption, and decreases bone mass loss, possibly through the regulation of OPG/RANKL/RANK pathway.

Project description:BackgroundOsteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is a complicated disease associated with trauma, hormone abuse and excessive alcohol consumption. Polymorphisms of long non-coding RNAs have been also linked with the development of ONFH. Our research aimed to explore the relationship between CARMEN (Cardiac Mesoderm Enhancer-Associated Non-Coding RNA) variants and ONFH risk.MethodsOur study used Agena MassARRAY Assay to genotype 6 selected single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 731 participants (308 alcohol-induced ONFH patients and 423 controls). We used odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) to calculate the effect of gene polymorphisms on the occurrence of alcohol-induced ONFH by logistic regression analysis and haplotype analysis.ResultsOur overall analysis illustrated that rs13177623 and rs12654195 had an association with a reduced risk of ONFH after adjustment for age and gender. We also found that rs13177623, rs12654195 and rs11168100 were associated with a decreased susceptibility to alcohol-induced ONFH in people ≤45 years. In addition, the necrotic sites stratification analysis showed that rs12654195 was only found to be related to alcohol-induced ONFH risk in the recessive model. In patients with different clinical stages, rs353300 was observed to be associated with a higher incidence of ONFH. Individuals with different genotypes of rs13177623, rs12654195 and rs11168100 had significantly different clinical parameters (cholinesterase, globulin, percentage of neutrophils and the absolute value of lymphocytes).ConclusionsOur data provided new light on the association between CARMEN polymorphisms and alcohol-induced ONFH risk in the Chinese Han population.
