Osteoporosis is an important public health problem because of the significant morbidity and mortality associated with its complications, particularly fractures. An important clinical risk factor in the pathogenesis of osteoporosis is the presence of genetic polymorphisms in susceptibility genes. However, few studies have investigated the relevance of these polymorphisms in premenopausal women. Recent studies have demonstrated interactions between bone and immune cells, and that cytokines produced by immune cells regulate bone turnover. In this study, we examined the associations between bone mineral density (BMD) and polymorphisms in genes encoding interleukin (IL)-6 (-634C>G; rs1800796), tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α (-308G>A; rs1800629), IL-17F (7488T>C; rs763780), transforming growth factor (TGF)-β (869T>C; rs1800470), osteoprotegerin (OPG; 163A>G; rs3102735) and methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR; 677C>T; rs1801133) in young and elderly Japanese women. Whole-body, lumbar spine (L(1) or L(2)-L(4)), and femoral neck BMD were measured in 100 young subjects (18-23 years), and 100 elderly subjects (60-83 years). Whole-body, lumbar spine, and femoral neck BMD were 1.13±0.06, 1.14±0.12, and 1.00±0.11 g/cm(2), respectively, in young subjects, and 0.92±0.09, 0.86±0.15, and 0.63±0.10 g/cm(2), respectively, in elderly subjects. The frequencies of the IL-6 CC, CG, and GG genotypes were 48%, 49%, and 3%, respectively. The frequencies of the IL17F TT, TC, and CC genotypes were 79%, 15%, and 6%, respectively, in young subjects. Polymorphisms of the IL-6 and IL17F genes were significantly associated with BMD. To our knowledge, this is the first report to examine these associations in a cohort of 200 Japanese women.  相似文献

Genetic determinants of bone mass.   总被引:14,自引:0,他引:14  
A genetic contribution to bone mass determination was first described in the early 70s. Elucidation of gene contribution to this has since been attempted through studies analyzing associations between bone mass acquisition and/or maintenance and polymorphic variations of several genes. The first to be described was the vitamin D receptor gene (VDR), initially claimed to contribute to almost 75% of the genetic variation in bone mineral density (BMD) in twin and general population studies. Not all of the studies published to date conclude that a clear relationship exists between polymorphic VDR alleles and BMD, and the molecular basis for the VDR gene polymorphisms influence on bone mineralization has not yet been clarified. Since then, other genes with a significant role in bone metabolism such as estradiol receptor, collagen type 1alpha1, TGF-beta1, interleukin-6, calcitonin receptor, alpha2-HS-glycoprotein, osteocalcin, calcium-sensing receptor, interleukin-1 receptor antagonist, beta3-adrenergic receptor, apolipoprotein E, PTH, IGF-I and glucocorticoid receptor have been analyzed. Some polymorphic variations in these genes have been associated in some works with significant differences in BMD, with even more significant contributions when associations of different gene polymorphisms were analyzed. Again, the molecular basis for the contribution of these alleles to bone mass determination has not yet been described. A different approach has been attempted by linkage analysis of loci involved in bone density in pedigrees with low BMD using BMD as a quantitative trait. Recent results do not confirm, in these families, any association with any of the previously reported genes, but rather with other as yet unidentified genes. The genetic contribution to mild variations in the general population, as a result of environmental and endogenous individual influences, probably differs completely from that providing a pathologic BMD.  相似文献

The monocyte chemotactic protein-3 (MCP3), on chromosome 17q11.2-q12, is a secreted chemokine, which attracts macrophages during inflammation and metastasis. In an effort to discover additional polymorphism(s) in genes whose variant(s) have been implicated in asthma, we scrutinized the genetic polymorphisms in MCP3 to evaluate it as a potential candidate gene for asthma host genetic study. By direct DNA sequencing in twenty-four individuals, we identified four sequence variants within the 3 kb full genome including 1,000bp promoter region of MCP3; one in promoter region (-420T>C), three in intron (+136C>G, +563C>T, +984G>A) respectively. The frequencies of those four SNPs were 0.020 (-420T>C), 0.038 (+136C>G), 0.080 (+563C>T), 0.035 (+984G>A), respectively, in Korean population (n = 598). Haplotypes, their frequencies and linkage disequilibrium coefficients (|D'|) between SNP pairs were estimated. The associations with the risk of asthma, skin-test reactivity and total serum IgE levels were analyzed. Using statistical analyses for association of MCP3 polymorphisms with asthma development and asthma-related phenotypes, no significant signals were detected. In conclusion, we identified four genetic polymorphisms in the important MCP3 gene, but no significant associations of MCP3 variants with asthma phenotypes were detected. MCP3 variation/haplotype information identified in this study will provide valuable information for future association studies of other allergic diseases.  相似文献

The association between the restriction length polymorphisms of the Vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene and the bone mineral density (BMD) or the rate of bone loss is still under debate. In a longitudinal study of untreated postmenopausal elderly women, we evaluated the relationship between the VDR gene polymorphisms (BsmI, TaqI, ApaI, and FokI) and the rate of bone loss over a 3-year period. We also examined the effect of adjustments for dietary and lifestyle factors on these associations. Before adjustments, the rate of femoral neck bone loss was - 3.76 +/- 1.58% in women with BB genotype and 0.45 +/- 0.65% in women with bb genotype, which was not significantly different. Upon adjustment for dietary and lifestyle factors, statistically significant (P = 0.03) bone loss was observed at femoral neck in women with BB genotype (- 3.66 +/- 2.44%) compared to that of bb genotype (2.39 +/- 1.32%). Similar results were observed with TaqI genotypes. The rates of bone loss at other skeletal sites were not different between VDR genotypes defined by BsmI and TaqI. VDR gene polymorphisms defined by ApaI and FokI were not related to the rate of bone loss.  相似文献

Significant advances have been made in the discovery of genes affecting bone mineral density (BMD); however, our understanding of its genetic basis remains incomplete. In the current study, genome-wide association (GWA) and co-expression network analysis were used in the recently described Hybrid Mouse Diversity Panel (HMDP) to identify and functionally characterize novel BMD genes. In the HMDP, a GWA of total body, spinal, and femoral BMD revealed four significant associations (-log10P>5.39) affecting at least one BMD trait on chromosomes (Chrs.) 7, 11, 12, and 17. The associations implicated a total of 163 genes with each association harboring between 14 and 112 genes. This list was reduced to 26 functional candidates by identifying those genes that were regulated by local eQTL in bone or harbored potentially functional non-synonymous (NS) SNPs. This analysis revealed that the most significant BMD SNP on Chr. 12 was a NS SNP in the additional sex combs like-2 (Asxl2) gene that was predicted to be functional. The involvement of Asxl2 in the regulation of bone mass was confirmed by the observation that Asxl2 knockout mice had reduced BMD. To begin to unravel the mechanism through which Asxl2 influenced BMD, a gene co-expression network was created using cortical bone gene expression microarray data from the HMDP strains. Asxl2 was identified as a member of a co-expression module enriched for genes involved in the differentiation of myeloid cells. In bone, osteoclasts are bone-resorbing cells of myeloid origin, suggesting that Asxl2 may play a role in osteoclast differentiation. In agreement, the knockdown of Asxl2 in bone marrow macrophages impaired their ability to form osteoclasts. This study identifies a new regulator of BMD and osteoclastogenesis and highlights the power of GWA and systems genetics in the mouse for dissecting complex genetic traits.  相似文献

Osteoporosis is a common disorder, with prolongation of the average life span it has become a major public health problem. On the formation of osteoporosis genetic factors and environmental influences could play a role then it is considered as multi-factorial. Because a variety of functions to affect susceptibility to the formation of osteoporosis VDR-F, VDR-B, COL1A1, ESR1X, ESR1P and CTR are thought to be candidate genes. In this study, the aim is to investigate the relationship between these genes polymorphism and bone mineral density (BMD) values of lumbar vertebra and femoral neck in 188 Turkish people. Lumbar spine and femoral neck BMD of the individuals included in the study were measured by the dual X-ray absorptiometry method. The genotyped polymorphisms by simultaneous amplification of five regions of the genome, containing six SNPs of interest and detecting the amplified product, using the kit MetaBone Clinical Arrays?. Statistical analyses indicated that; VDR-B gene polymorphisms major (P?=?0.013), VDR-F polymorphisms have minor (P?=?0.082) effect on femur BMD. None of the other genes has any significant effect on spinal BMD. Patient age, body mass index and diet has significant effect on femoral and spinal BMD. Osteoporosis is a multi-factorial disease and many genetic and non-genetic risk factors contribute to the development of osteoporosis. Early detection of a genetic predisposition to osteoporosis should allow delay and/or limit unfavorable changes in the bone tissue.  相似文献

Osteoporotic fracture is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Low bone mineral density (BMD) is a major predisposing factor to fracture and is known to be highly heritable. Site-, gender-, and age-specific genetic effects on BMD are thought to be significant, but have largely not been considered in the design of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of BMD to date. We report here a GWAS using a novel study design focusing on women of a specific age (postmenopausal women, age 55-85 years), with either extreme high or low hip BMD (age- and gender-adjusted BMD z-scores of +1.5 to +4.0, n = 1055, or -4.0 to -1.5, n = 900), with replication in cohorts of women drawn from the general population (n = 20,898). The study replicates 21 of 26 known BMD-associated genes. Additionally, we report suggestive association of a further six new genetic associations in or around the genes CLCN7, GALNT3, IBSP, LTBP3, RSPO3, and SOX4, with replication in two independent datasets. A novel mouse model with a loss-of-function mutation in GALNT3 is also reported, which has high bone mass, supporting the involvement of this gene in BMD determination. In addition to identifying further genes associated with BMD, this study confirms the efficiency of extreme-truncate selection designs for quantitative trait association studies.  相似文献

Weight-bearing exercise and markers of bone turnover in female athletes.   总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9  
Weight-bearing activity provides an osteogenic stimulus, while effects of swimming on bone are unclear. We evaluated bone mineral density (BMD) and markers of bone turnover in female athletes (n = 41, age 20.7 yr) comparing three impact groups, high impact (High, basketball and volleyball, n = 14), medium impact (Med, soccer and track, n = 13), and nonimpact (Non, swimming, n = 7), with sedentary age-matched controls (Con, n = 7). BMD was assessed by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry at the lumbar spine, femoral neck (FN), Ward's triangle, and trochanter (TR); bone resorption estimated from urinary cross-linked N-telopeptides (NTx); and bone formation determined from serum osteocalcin. Adjusted BMD (g/cm; covariates: body mass index, weight, and calcium and calorie intake) was greater at the FN and TR in the High group (1.27 +/- 0.03 and 1.05 +/- 0.03) than in the Non (1.05 +/- 0.04 and 0.86 +/- 0.04) and Con (1.03 +/- 0.05 and 0.85 +/- 0.05) groups and greater at the TR in the Med group (1.01 +/- 0.03) than in the Non (0.86 +/- 0.04) and Con (0.85 +/- 0.05) groups. Total body BMD was higher in the High group (4.9 +/- 0.12) than in the Med (4.5 +/- 0.12), Non (4.2 +/- 0.14), and Con (4.1 +/- 0.17) groups and greater in the Med group than in the Non and Con groups. Bone formation was lower in the Non group (19.8 +/- 2.6) than in the High (30.6 +/- 3.0) and Med (32.9 +/- 1.9, P < or = 0.05) groups. No differences in a marker of bone resorption (NTx) were noted. This indicates that women who participate in impact sports such as volleyball and basketball had higher BMDs and bone formation values than female swimmers.  相似文献

Objective

Both variations in the interleukin-10 (IL10) gene and environmental factors are thought to influence inflammation and gastric carcinogenesis. Therefore, we investigated the associations between IL10 polymorphisms, Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection, and smoking in noncardia gastric carcinogenesis in Koreans.

Methods

We genotyped three promoter polymorphisms (-1082A>G, -819T>C, and -592 A>C) of IL10 in a case-control study of 495 noncardia gastric cancer patients and 495 sex- and age-matched healthy controls. Multiple logistic regression models were used to detect the effects of IL10 polymorphisms, H. pylori infection, and smoking on the risk of gastric cancer, which was stratified by the histological type of gastric cancer.

Results

The IL10-819C and -592C alleles were found to have complete linkage disequilibrium, and all three IL10 polymorphisms were associated with an increased risk of intestinal-type noncardia gastric cancer. These associations were observed only in H. pylori-positive subjects and current smokers. A statistically significant interaction between the IL10-592 genotype and H. pylori infection on the risk of intestinal-type gastric cancer was observed (P for interaction  = 0.047). In addition, H. pylori-positive smokers who were carriers of either the IL10-1082G (OR [95% CI]  = 17.76 [6.17−51.06]) or the -592C (OR [95% CI]  = 8.37 [2.79−25.16]) allele had an increased risk of intestinal-type gastric cancer compared to H. pylori-negative nonsmokers homozygous for IL10-1082A and -592A, respectively. The interaction between the IL10-1082 polymorphism and the combined effects of H. pylori infection and smoking tended towards significance (P for interaction  = 0.080).

Conclusions

Inflammation-related genetic variants may interact with H. pylori infection and smoking to increase the risk of noncardia gastric cancer, particularly the intestinal-type. These findings may be helpful in identifying individuals at an increased risk for developing noncardia gastric cancer.  相似文献

This study investigates aromatase gene polymorphism, which might influence bone strength in terms of mineral density and quality. We explored the relationship between CYP19 polymorphisms and vertebral fractures in postmenopausal Japanese women. In addition, we compared estrogen and testosterone levels in Japanese postmenopausal women with and without fractures. Osteoporotic postmenopausal women showed higher incidences of vertebral fractures than osteopenic women or women with normal lumbar bone mineral density (L2-4 BMD). Estrogen concentrations in postmenopausal women were associated with BMD; however, no association was found between sex hormone levels and the presence of fractures. The C allele rs2470152 was significantly associated with increased risk of vertebral fractures (P = 0.04), whereas none of the CYP19 polymorphisms showed differences in sex steroid levels between subjects with and without fractures. Allelic variants of aromatase genes appear to interact to influence the risk of vertebral fractures in postmenopausal Japanese women.  相似文献

The relationship between vitamin D receptor (VDR) intragenic polymorphisms FokI, BsmI, ApaI and TaqI and bone mineral density (BMD) or biochemical markers of bone remodeling were investigated in 114 Czech postmenopausal women, on the average 62.5+/-8.9 years of age. Restriction fragment length polymorphisms in the VDR gene were assessed by PCR amplification and digestion with restriction enzymes FokI, BsmI, ApaI, and TaqI recognizing polymorphic sites in the VDR locus. Bone mineral density was measured at the lumbar spine and at the hip by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA, g/cm2). After adjusting for age and the body mass index (BMI), subjects with the ff genotype had 9.4% lower BMD at the hip than those with the Ff genotype (p=0.0459, Tukey's test). FF individuals had an intermediate BMD at the hip. A similar pattern of lower lumbar spine BMD was also found in ff individuals, but it did not reach statistical significance. There was no relationship between BsmI, ApaI and TaqI VDR polymorphisms and BMD at any skeletal site. Subjects with Aa (ApaI) genotypes had higher levels of propeptide of type I collagen (PICP) than homozygous AA (p=0.0459, Tukey's test). In FokI, BsmI and TaqI restriction sites the biochemical markers of bone remodeling did not differ by genotype. In addition, no significant difference was observed in VDR genotypic distribution between osteoporotic women and non-osteoporotic controls in the study group. To conclude, the FokI genotype of the vitamin D receptor gene is related to bone mass at the hip in Czech postmenopausal women, whereas the importance of remaining VDR genotypes was not evident.  相似文献

The effect of weight, classified by body mass index (BMI), on bone mass (BMC) of the whole body and on bone mineral density BMD of the hip joint was analysed in a sample of 120 Austrians of Vienna and surroundings. The 68 females and 52 males of this cross sectional study ranged in age between 60 and 92 years (x = 71.7 +/- 7.7). Age distribution was not significantly different between sexes. The WHO (1997) classification of body mass index (BMI) was used for weight classification, i.e. normal weight (BMI 18.5-24.99) and moderate overweight (BMI 25.0-29.99). Obese subjects (BMI 30+) were not included in this study. Bone mass of the whole body as well as bone density of the hip joint were determined by Dual-energy-X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) using a hologic 2000 scanner. As expected BMC and BMD values were significantly higher in males than in females. While in both females and males moderately overweight BMD of the hip was significantly higher than in those with normal BMI, statistically significant differences of BMC were restricted to females only. Such positive association between body weight and BMC and BMD is in agreement with previous studies on mature subjects, and menopausal and postmenopausal women in particular. In addition, this study demonstrates corresponding positive associations between moderate overweight and bone mass and -density in the elderly and old aged.  相似文献

The uncoupling protein (UCP) family has been suggested as a possible determinant affecting obesity risk given their function in the regulation of energy metabolism. In an effort to elucidate the effects of UCP family polymorphisms on obesity phenotypes, we genotyped 10 polymorphisms in UCP2 and UCP3 among overweight female subjects (n=458), and genetic effects on BMI and changes after a very low calorie diet (VLCD) were examined. Analyses of VLCD-induced changes among the subjects who had finished one month-weight control program (n=301) revealed that several polymorphisms in UCP2-3 gene cluster showed associations with changes of BMI and fat mass, however not of protein mass. One of the major haplotypes of UCP2-3 gene cluster, ht1 (GGCdelCGTACC), and UCP2-866G>A showed significant associations with VLCD-induced fat reduction (P=0.002 and 0.004; P(corr)=0.03 and 0.01, respectively), and these results suggested that UCP2-3 polymorphisms were important genetic factor for the VLCD-induced reduction of body fat mass.  相似文献

We investigated the risk of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) in relation to a number of single nucleotide polymorphisms in genes involved in the inflammatory response. A case-control study including 322 BCC cases and a similar number of controls was nested in a population-based prospective study of 57,053 individuals (aged 50-64 at inclusion) in Denmark. NSAID use was associated with a slightly decreased risk of BCC (IRR=0.85, 95% CI=0.66-1.10). We found that two polymorphisms in COX-2, COX-2 A-1195G and T8473C were associated with risk of BCC. Carriers of the variant allele of COX-2 A-1195G had lower risk of BCC than homozygous wild type carriers (IRR=0.54, 95% CI=0.47-0.89). Homozygous carriers of the variant allele of COX-2 T8473C were at 2.27-fold higher risk of BCC (95% CI=1.31-3.92) than homozygous wild type allele carriers. The polymorphisms IL6 G-174C, IL8 T-251A, PPARgamma2 Pro(12)Ala, IL1beta T-31C, and IL10 C-592A were not associated with risk of BCC. We found no statistically significant interaction between polymorphisms and NSAID use in relation to risk of BCC. While it cannot be ruled out that the present findings are due to chance, the results indicate that high COX-2 expression may increase risk of BCC while NSAID use may be protective.  相似文献
