Variants in RETN gene are associated with steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head risk among Han Chinese people.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Gene polymorphism has an important influence on RETN gene expression level, and the increased level of resistin encoded in RETN will lead to metabolic disorder, especially lipid metabolism. Moreover, steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head (steroid-induced ONFH) is closely related to lipid metabolism level, so this study is intended to explore the relationship of RETN polymorphisms with susceptibility to steroid-induced ONFH in the Chinese Han population. METHODS:In this case-control study, eight single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of RETN were genotyped by the Agena MassARRAY system in 199 steroid-induced ONFH patients and 200 healthy controls. The relationship between RETN polymorphisms and steroid-induced ONFH risk was assessed using genetic models and haplotype analyses. Odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were obtained by logistic regression adjusted for age. RESULTS:We found significant differences in the distribution of HDL-C, TG/HDL-C, and LDL-C/HDL-C between the patients and the control group (p

Project description:PurposeSteroid-induced necrosis of the femoral head (SONFH) is a refractory orthopedic hip disease occurring in young and middle-aged people, with glucocorticoids being the most common cause. Previous experimental studies have shown that cell pyroptosis may be involved in the pathological process of SONFH, but its pathogenesis in SONFH is still unclear. This study aims to screen and validate potential pyroptosis-related genes in SONFH diagnosis by bioinformatics analysis to further elucidate the mechanism of pyroptosis in SONFH.MethodsThere were 33 pyroptosis-related genes obtained from the prior reviews. The mRNA expression was downloaded from GSE123568 dataset in the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database, including 10 non-SONFH (following steroid administration) samples and 30 SONFH samples. The pyroptosis-related differentially expressed genes involved in SONFH were identified with "affy" and "limma" R package by intersecting the GSE123568 dataset with pyroptosis genes. In addition, Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analyses of the pyroptosis-related differentially expressed genes involved in SONFH were conducted by "clusterProfiler" R package and visualized by "GOplot" R package. Then, the correlations between the expression levels of the pyroptosis-related differentially expressed genes involved in SONFH were confirmed with "corrplot" R package. Moreover, the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was analysed by using GeneMANIA database. Next, The ROC curve of pyroptosis-related differentially expressed genes were analyzed by "pROC" R package.ResultsA total of 10 pyroptosis-related differentially expressed genes were identified between the peripheral blood samples of SONFH patients and non-SONFH patients based on the defined criteria, including 20 upregulated genes and 10 downregulated genes. The GO and KEGG pathway enrichment analyses revealed that these 10 pyroptosis-related differentially expressed genes involved in SONFH were particularly enriched in cysteine-type endopeptidase activity involved in apoptotic process, positive regulation of interleukin-1 beta secretion and NOD-like receptor signaling pathway. Correlation analysis revealed significant correlations among the 10 differentially expressed pyroptosis-related genes involved in SONFH. The PPI results demonstrated that the 10 pyroptosis-related differentially expressed genes interacted with each other. Compared to non-SONFH samples, these pyroptosis-related differentially expressed genes had good predictive diagnostic efficacy (AUC = 1.000, CI = 1.000-1.000) in the SONFH samples, and NLRP1 had the highest diagnostic value (AUC: 0.953) in the SONFH samples.ConclusionsThere were 10 potential pyroptosis-related differentially expressed genes involved in SONFH were identified via bioinformatics analysis, which might serve as potential diagnostic biomarkers because they regulated pyroptosis. These results expand the understanding of SONFH associated with pyroptosis and provide new insights to further explore the mechanism of action and diagnosis of pyroptosis associated in SONFH.
