Osteoporosis is a major public health problem, mainly quantified by low BMD. Eleven polymorphisms were investigated in this study; TNFalpha-857 (rs1799724), TGFbeta1-509 (rs1800469), osteocalcin (rs1800247), TNFalpha-308 (rs1800629), PTH BstB I (rs6254), PTH Dra II (rs6256), IL-1ra (VNTR), HSP70 hom (rs2227956), HSP 70-2 (rs1061581), CTR (rs1801197), and BMP-4 (rs17563). The relationship between the combined polymorphisms in different genomic regions and BMD variation was investigated. Among the female subjects, the proportion of subjects with low BMD in low BMI group (< or = 18.50) was significantly higher than that of the middle (18.51-22.99) and high (> or = 23.00) BMI groups (P < 0.05). In post-menopausal women, there was a significant association between low BMD and genotypes ranging from 2 to approximately 7 SNPs. For two combined SNPs, the portion of subjects with low BMD was significantly higher in those with CC-AA genotypes in rs1799724-rs1800629, compared to those with non-CC-AA genotypes in post-menopausal women and the combination of all women. Similarly, part of the combined SNPs with rs1799724-rs1800629-rs6254-rs6256-IL-1ra-rs2227956-rs1801197 was significantly associated with reduced BMD. After controlling for age and BMI, post-menopausal women with certain specific SNP combination had a 3.54- to 4.68-fold increased risk for low BMD, comparing to other SNP combinations. In conclusion, our data suggest that several gene polymorphisms may be cooperatively involved in the development of osteoporosis.  相似文献

Aromatase-dependent biosynthesis of estrogen plays an important role in maintenance of the male skeleton, and Cytochrome p450 aromatase is the key enzyme to catalyze the conversion of androgen precursors to estrogens. We investigated the association of polymorphisms in the CYP19A1 gene and bone mineral density in a Chinese cohort. 2392 extreme low femoral neck BMD cases or extreme high femoral neck BMD controls were selected from a population-based cohort and genotyped for eight SNPs in the CYP19A1 gene. Significant associations for rs17703883, rs12594287 and rs16964201 SNPs with BMD were found in men only. Men with TC/CC genotypes in the rs17703883 SNP had a 1.5 times higher risk of having extreme low femoral neck BMD (P = 0.003, empirical P value = 0.05), and decreased BMDs at total body (P = 0.004, empirical P value = 0.07) and total hip (P = 0.003, empirical P value = 0.05). Men carrying AA/AG genotypes in the rs12594287 SNP had a 30% reduced risk of having extreme low femoral neck BMD (P = 0.007, empirical P value = 0.12), and increased BMDs at total body (P = 0.0009, empirical P value = 0.018) and total hip (P = 0.001, empirical P value = 0.02). Men carrying TT/TC genotypes in the rs16964201 SNP had a 40% reduced risk of having extreme low femoral neck BMD (P = 0.005, empirical P value = 0.087), and increased BMDs at total body (P = 0.0001, empirical P value = 0.002) and total hip (P = 0.0006, empirical P value = 0.012). Haplotype analysis showed that the G-C-T-A-T haplotype was significantly related to higher BMD. Our finding suggests that genetic variations in the CYP19A1 gene are significantly associated with BMD at different skeletal sites in adult men, but not in women.  相似文献

Background

Bone mineral density (BMD) loss commonly occurs after hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). Hypothesizing that genetic variants may influence post-HCT BMD loss, we conducted a prospective study to examine the associations of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in bone metabolism pathways and acute BMD loss after HCT.

Methods and Findings

We genotyped 122 SNPs in 45 genes in bone metabolism pathways among 121 autologous and allogeneic HCT patients. BMD changes from pre-HCT to day +100 post-HCT were analyzed in relation to these SNPs in linear regression models. After controlling for clinical risk factors, we identified 16 SNPs associated with spinal or femoral BMD loss following HCT, three of which have been previously implicated in genome-wide association studies of bone phenotypes, including rs2075555 in COL1A1, rs9594738 in RANKL, and rs4870044 in ESR1. When multiple SNPs were considered simultaneously, they explained 5–35% of the variance in post-HCT BMD loss. There was a significant trend between the number of risk alleles and the magnitude of BMD loss, with patients carrying the most risk alleles having the greatest loss.

Conclusion

Our data provide the first evidence that common genetic variants play an important role in BMD loss among HCT patients similar to age-related BMD loss in the general population. This infers that the mechanism for post-HCT bone loss is a normal aging process that is accelerated during HCT. A limitation of our study comes from its small patient population; hence future larger studies are warranted to validate our findings.  相似文献

The aim of the current investigation was to investigate any potential effect of fasting plasma adiponectin concentration on bone tissue, and to find possible relationships of fasting plasma adiponectin level with different body composition, insulin sensitivity and physical performance parameters in a group of healthy perimenopausal women. Twenty-one premenopausal and 17 early postmenopausal women participated in this study. The women were matched for body mass index (BMI) and level of mean daily energy expenditure. Women had similar adiponectin (8.4 +/- 3.9 vs. 9.9 +/- 5.4 microg/ml) and leptin values (12.0 +/- 7.7 vs. 14.0 +/- 8.2 ng/ml) before and after menopause. Significant relationships were observed between plasma adiponectin and bone mineral content, total bone mineral density (BMD) and lumbar spine BMD values (r > - 0.36; p < 0.05). Furthermore, adiponectin had a significant negative association with total BMD (beta = - 1.228; p = 0.004) and lumbar spine BMD (beta = - 0.312; p = 0.005) independent of the influence that other measured body compositional, hormonal or physical performance factors may exert on BMD. Adiponectin was also significantly related to waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) (beta = - 2.300; p = 0.002) and fasting insulin resistance index (FIRI) (beta = - 0.006; p = 0.007) in separate regression models. No relationship was observed between leptin and measured bone, physical performance and insulin resistance values. Leptin significantly correlated to BMI (beta = 0.018; p = 0.034), lean body mass (beta = 0.025; p = 0.024) and fat mass (beta = 0.019; p = 0.001) in separate regression models. In conclusion, the results of present study show that circulating adiponectin appears to exert an independent effect on BMD in perimenopausal women and may represent a link between adipose tissue and bone mineral density.  相似文献

BackgroundType 2 diabetes results from interplay between genetic and acquired factors. Glycans on proteins reflect genetic, metabolic and environmental factors. However, associations of IgG glycans with type 2 diabetes have not been described. We compared IgG N-glycan patterns in type 2 diabetes with healthy subjects.MethodsIn the DiaGene study, a population-based case-control study, (1886 cases and 854 controls) 58 IgG glycan traits were analyzed. Findings were replicated in the population-based CROATIA-Korcula-CROATIA-Vis-ORCADES studies (162 cases and 3162 controls), and meta-analyzed. AUCs of ROC-curves were calculated using 10-fold cross-validation for clinical characteristics, IgG glycans and their combination.ResultsAfter correction for extensive clinical covariates, 5 IgG glycans and 13 derived traits significantly associated with type 2 diabetes in meta-analysis (after Bonferroni correction). Adding IgG glycans to age and sex increased the AUC from 0.542 to 0.734. Adding them to the extensive model did not substantially improve the AUC. The AUC for IgG glycans alone was 0.729.ConclusionsSeveral IgG glycans and traits firmly associate with type 2 diabetes, reflecting a pro-inflammatory and biologically-aged state. IgG glycans showed limited improvement of AUCs. However, IgG glycans showed good prediction alone, indicating they may capture information of combined covariates. The associations found may yield insights in type 2 diabetes pathophysiology.General significanceThis work shows that IgG glycomic changes have biomarker potential and may yield important insights into pathophysiology of complex public health diseases, illustrated here for the first time in type 2 diabetes.  相似文献

Otosclerosis is a common form of hearing loss characterized by abnormal bone remodeling in the otic capsule. It is considered a complex disease caused by both genetic and environmental factors. In a previous study, we identified a region on chr7q22.1 located in the RELN gene that is associated with otosclerosis in Belgian–Dutch and French populations. Evidence for allelic heterogeneity was found in this chromosomal region in the form of two independent signals. To confirm this finding, we have completed a replication study that includes four additional populations from Europe (1,141 total samples). Several SNPs in this region replicated in these populations separately. While the power to detect significant association in each population is small, when all four populations are combined, six of seven SNPs replicate and show an effect in the same direction as in the previous populations. We also confirmed the presence of allelic heterogeneity in this region. These data further implicate RELN in the pathogenesis of otosclerosis. Functional research is warranted to determine the pathways through which RELN acts in the pathogenesis of otosclerosis.  相似文献

Multiple factors may contribute to the pathogenesis of postmenopausal osteoporosis including environmental, life-style and genetic factors. Common variants in ESR2 gene encoding for ER-beta, highly expressed in bone tissue, have recently been proposed as candidates for affecting bone phenotype at the population level, particularly in postmenopausal women. In this study, we examined the genetic background at ESR2 AluI (rs4986938, 1730G>A) locus in 89 osteopenic, postmenopausal women (age range 49-56 years) together with BMD at lumbar spine and femoral neck sites as well as variations in plasma levels of bone metabolism and turnover markers. Genotyping for ESR2 G1730A polymorphism showed that the frequency of A mutated allele accounted for 0.4 in our cohort of postmenopausal women; moreover, the GA1730 heterozygous individuals were the most represented (50.6%) compared with GG (37.8%) and AA homozygous ones (14.6%). A regression analysis showed that lumbar spine BMD values were significantly associated with both ESR2 AA1730 genotype (p=0.044) and time since the onset of menopause (p=0.031), while no significant association was detected between biochemical markers and genetic background. Interestingly, 85% of patients with AA1730 genotype presented the smallest lumbar spine BMD values. These findings first indicate a worsening effect of ESR2 AluI polymorphism on lumbar spine BMD reduction in postmenopause, suggesting that the detection of this ESR2 variant should be recommended in postmenopausal women, particularly in populations with a high prevalence of ESR2 AA1730 homozygous genotype.  相似文献

In order to assess the contribution of polymorphisms in the RANKL (TNFSF11), RANK (TNFRSF11A) and OPG (TNFRSF11B) genes to variations in bone mineral density (BMD), a population-based cohort with 1,120 extreme low hip BMD cases or extreme high hip BMD controls was genotyped on five SNPs. We further explored the associations between these genetic variations and forearm BMDs by genotyping 266 offspring and 309 available parents from 160 nuclear families. A family-based association test was used. Significantly positive associations were found for A163G polymorphisms in the promoter regions of the OPG gene, a missense substitution in exon 7 (Ala192Val) of the RANK gene and rs9594782 SNP in the 5′ UTR of the RANKL gene with BMD in men only. Men with TC/CC genotypes of the rs9594782 SNP had a 2.1 times higher risk of extremely low hip BMD (P=0.004), and lower whole body BMD (P<0.001). Subjects with the TC genotype of the Ala192Val polymorphism had a 40% reduced risk of having extremely low hip BMD (P<0.01), and higher whole body BMD (P<0.01). Subjects with the GG genotype of the A163G polymorphism had a 70% reduced risk of having extremely low hip BMD (P<0.05), and higher whole body BMD (P<0.01). Significant gene–gene interactions were also observed among the OPG, RANK and RANKL genes. Our findings suggest that genetic variation in genes involved in the RANKL/RANK/OPG bone remodeling pathway are strongly associated with BMD at different skeletal sites in adult men, but not in women.

Six polymorphic microsatellite markers developed for the European wild rabbit ( Oryctolagus cuniculus ) were amplified with 20 other species of lagomorphs, representing both commercially important species and species important from a conservation perspective. Successful amplification of a number of these loci has provided an important set of new molecular markers for this mammalian order.  相似文献

Objective:

Both depression and use of antidepressants have been negatively associated with bone mineral density (BMD) but mainly in studies among postmenopausal women. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate these relationships in men.

Methods:

Between 2006 and 2011, 928 men (aged 24-98 years) from the Geelong Osteoporosis Study completed a comprehensive questionnaire, clinical measurements and had BMD assessments at the forearm, spine, total hip and total body. Major depressive disorder (MDD) was identified using a structured clinical interview (SCID-I/NP). The cross-sectional associations between BMD and both MDD and antidepressant use were analyzed using multivariable linear regression.

Results:

Of the study population, 84 (9.1%) men had a single MDD episode, 50 (5.4%) had recurrent episodes and 65 (7.0%) were using antidepressants at the time of assessment. Following adjustments, recurrent MDD was associated with lower BMD at the forearm and total body (-6.5%, P=0.033 and -2.5%, P=0.033, respectively compared to men with no history of MDD), while single MDD episodes were associated with higher BMD at the total hip (+3.4%, P=0.030). Antidepressant use was associated with lower BMD only in lower-weight men (<75-110 kg depending on bone site).

Conclusions:

Both depression and use of antidepressants should be taken into account as possible risk factors for osteoporosis in men.  相似文献

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) plays an important role in bone health. We investigated the factors which influence circulating VEGF and their association with bone mineral density (BMD). Two hundred and fifty two post-menopausal women aged 64.5 [9.2] years were studied. BMD was determined at the lumbar spine (LS), femoral neck (FN) and total hip (TH). Serum oestradiol and VEGF were measured. Subjects were genotyped for two polymorphic variants in the 5′ untranslated region of the VEGF gene; G(634)C and C(936)T. Positive correlations were seen between circulating VEGF and BMI (r = 0.2, p < 0.02) and oestradiol (r = 0.25, p < 0.001). Following multi-linear regression analysis, serum VEGF was associated with the G(634) polymorphism (p = 0.08) and dietary calcium intake (p = 0.02). The association with calcium intake may be mediated by PTH as suggested by the in vitro studies. Following correction for confounders, there was no association between circulating VEGF and BMD at any site. Both VEGF polymorphisms were significant predictors of LS BMD G(634)C: p = 0.017 and C(936)T: p = 0.05. Circulating VEGF may be influenced by genetic, environmental and endocrine factors. Polymorphic variants in the VEGF gene are associated with spine BMD. Further larger studies are needed.  相似文献

Purpose

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified 6q25, which incorporates the oestrogen receptor α gene (ESR1), as a quantitative trait locus for areal bone mineral density (BMDa) of the hip and lumbar spine. The aim of this study was to determine the influence of this locus on other bone health outcomes; calcaneal ultrasound (QUS) parameters, radial peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) parameters and markers of bone turnover in a population sample of European men.

Methods

Eight single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in the 6q25 locus were genotyped in men aged 40–79 years from 7 European countries, participating in the European Male Ageing Study (EMAS). The associations between SNPs and measured bone parameters were tested under an additive genetic model adjusting for centre using linear regression.

Results

2468 men, mean (SD) aged 59.9 (11.1) years had QUS measurements performed and bone turnover marker levels measured. A subset of 628 men had DXA and pQCT measurements. Multiple independent SNPs showed significant associations with BMD using all three measurement techniques. Most notably, rs1999805 was associated with a 0.10 SD (95%CI 0.05, 0.16; p = 0.0001) lower estimated BMD at the calcaneus, a 0.14 SD (95%CI 0.05, 0.24; p = 0.004) lower total hip BMDa, a 0.12 SD (95%CI 0.02, 0.23; p = 0.026) lower lumbar spine BMDa and a 0.18 SD (95%CI 0.06, 0.29; p = 0.003) lower trabecular BMD at the distal radius for each copy of the minor allele. There was no association with serum levels of bone turnover markers and a single SNP which was associated with cortical density was also associated with cortical BMC and thickness.

Conclusions

Our data replicate previous associations found between SNPs in the 6q25 locus and BMDa at the hip and extend these data to include associations with calcaneal ultrasound parameters and radial volumetric BMD.  相似文献

To determine the efficacy of the estrogen replacement therapy (ERT) on the bone mineral density (BMD) measured with quantitative computed tomography (QCT) in postmenopausal osteoporosis 16 women aged 46-72 were examined. They were divided into two groups: 8 women treated with conjugated estrogens (Group I) and 8 who did not received ERT (Group II). In all 16 patients the serum hormonal concentrations (LH, FSH and estradiol) were measured with radioimmunological methods. The bone densitometry was performed in all of them using the single-energy computed tomography (QCT) with the computer Picker 1200. Bone mineral density was measured in three lumbar vertebra (L1-L3) and expressed in milligrams K2HPO4 per ml. The bone mineral density (BMD) was statistically significantly higher in the estrogen treated group (Group I) in every vertebra compared with that of controls (Group II). The serum FSH concentration was statistically significantly lower in the ERT group (Group I) and a statistically significant correlation between FSH level and average BMD (Lmean) was present. In conclusion: 1. the ERT is very efficacious in preventing bone loss in postmenopausal women; 2. measurement of BMD in lumbar vertebra L1 or L3 may be a sufficiently reliable and accurate, cost-effective and time-saving method of screening for osteoporosis; 3. the serum FSH determination seems to be useful in monitoring of the estrogen therapy for postmenopausal osteoporosis.  相似文献

Cardiovascular diseases are accompanied by active oxygen species and organic free radical generation. The aim of this study was to examine the possibility of using oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) as a new diagnostic biomarker. Epidemiological study in populations of Estonia (782 subjects) and Russia (1433 subjects) was carried out in 2007-2009. The screening procedure included standard epidemiological methods. Oxidative stress was assessed by measuring the level of oxLDL using immunoassay method. Positive correlation between the levels of oxLDL and LDL cholesterol was indicated in blood of patients from estonian (r = 0.61; P < 0.05) and russian (r = 0.56; P < 0.05) populations. In russian population oxLDL/HDL cholesterol ratio was higher in the groups with highest risk of atherosclerosis development or manifest coronary artery disease (CAD). Cholesterol-rich low density lipoproteins are also more oxidized. Estimation of oxLDL/HDL ratio may be used as an independent biochemical marker for atherosclerosis.  相似文献

Projectional bone mineral density measurement so far used extensively in radiogrammetry and single and dual source absorptiometry is confronted with a serious limitation for the accurate evaluation of true density artifactually providing higher values along with the increase of body size and bone depth on account of the omission of one dimension. Computed tomography is capable of measuring true volumetric density and also accomplishes a separate measurement of trabecular and cortical bone especially on application to the distal and mid-radius with abundant cortical bone in peripheral computed tomography (pQCT). New lines of information may be obtained by such separate trabecular and cortical bone measurement in decreases of bone density due to various causes, estrogen withdrawal, corticosteroid, diabetes mellitus, renal failure, etc. Dynamic analysis of the result of pQCT may also make it possible to assess bone strength and resistance to fracture.  相似文献

A new method for estimating in vivo bone mineral density (BMD) and characterizing the shape of cancellous bone has been proposed using the results of ultrasonic inspection for the diagnosis of osteoporosis. The method is based on two-dimensional bone area fraction S (percent bone area between bone and bone marrow) calculated from the difference in the speed of ultrasonic wave propagation through cancellous bone. It was shown that the two-dimensional area fraction of a heel bone gives a good relationship to the BMD by DXA (dual energy x-ray absorptiometry) testing of human heel bone (calcaneus) and spine (vertebrae lumbar), as expressed by the relation, BMD (g/cm2) = 0.0167S for heel bone (r = 0.83), and BMD (g/cm2) = 0.0254S + 0.123 for the spine (r = 0.77). Shape characterization is based on the image simulation procedure employing eight random variables from a computer and the statistical results of fractal analysis for numerous cancellous bone patterns. We also demonstrate the validity of the shape characterization using autopsy specimens as a diagnostic tool for osteoporosis.  相似文献

We have previously shown that subclinical hypervitaminosis A in rats causes fragile bones. To begin to investigate possible mechanisms for Vitamin A action we extended our previous study. Forty-five mature female Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into three groups, each with 15 animals. They were fed a standard diet containing 12IU Vitamin A per g pellet (control, C), or a standard diet supplemented with 120 IU ("10xC") or 600 IU ("50xC") Vitamin A/g pellet for 12 weeks. At the end of the study, serum retinyl esters were elevated 4- and 20-fold. Although neither average food intake nor final body weights were significantly different between groups, a dose-dependent reduction in serum levels of Vitamin D and E, but not Vitamin K, was found. In the 50xC-group the length of the humerus was the same as in controls, but the diameter was reduced (-4.1%, p<0.05). Peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) at the diaphysis showed that bone mineral density (BMD) was unchanged and that periosteal circumference had decreased significantly (-3.7%, p<0.05). Ash weight of the humerus was not affected, but since bone volume decreased, volumetric BMD, as measured by the bone ash method, even increased (+2.5%, p<0.05). In conclusion, interference with other fat-soluble Vitamins is a possible indirect mechanism of Vitamin A action. Moreover, BMD measurements do not reveal early adverse skeletal changes induced by moderate excesses of Vitamin A in rats. Since the WHO criterium for osteoporosis is based on BMD, further studies are warranted to examine whether this is also true in humans.  相似文献

BACKGROUND: Chromosome 11q has not only been found to contain mutations responsible for the several Mendelian disorders of the skeleton, but it has also been linked to bone mineral density (BMD) variation in several genome-wide linkage studies. Furthermore, quantitative trait loci (QTL) affecting BMD in inbred mice and baboons have been mapped to a region syntenic to human chromosome 11q. The aim of the present study is to determine whether there is a QTL for BMD variation on chromosome 11q in the Chinese population. METHODS: Nineteen microsatellite markers were genotyped for a 75 cM region on 11q13-25 in 306 Chinese families with 1,459 subjects. BMD (g/cm(2)) was measured by DXA. Linkage analyses were performed using the variance component linkage analysis method implemented in Merlin software. RESULTS: For women, a maximum LOD score of 1.62 was achieved at 90.8 cM on 11q21 near the marker D11S4175 for femoral neck BMD; LOD scores greater than 1.0 were observed on 11q13 for trochanter BMD. For men, a maximum LOD score of 1.57 was achieved at 135.8 cM on 11q24 near the marker D11S4126 for total hip BMD. CONCLUSION: We have not only replicated the previous linkage finding on chromosome 11q but also identified two sex-specific QTL that contribute to BMD variation in Chinese women and men.  相似文献
