OPG and RANKL polymorphisms are associated with alcohol-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head in the north area of China population in men

Abstract: 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 variant… Show more

“…The OPG/RANKL/RANK signaling pathway is a very important mechanism that regulates bone metabolism 17 . OPG is a soluble RANKL decoy receptor that binds to three RANKL subtypes and blocks RANKL and RANK binding 18 . Gori et al 19 found that developmental regulation of OPG and RANKL production contributes to the coordinated sequence of osteoclast and osteoblast differentiation during the bone remodeling cycle.…”

“…According to statistics in China, 30.7% of ONFH cases are caused by alcohol [11]. Thereinto, genetic polymorphisms of some genes played critical roles in the occurrence of alcohol-induced ONFH [12][13][14][15][16][17], such as MMP20, RETN, ApoB, ApoA1, NOS3.…”

“…[17,18] On this context, the definition or classification criteria varies widely across previous studies on AA-ONFH. Among 18 English-written studies published from 2015 to 2017 with a sample size of 200 or more, 6 studies used 400 mL/week as the cut-off level of alcohol exposure, [19][20][21][22][23][24] 2 studies did 900 mL/week, [25,26] and one study did 40 g/day for men or 20 g/day for women to defined AA-ONFH. [3] Even a worse problem is that 50% (9/18) did not describe their definition for AA-ONFH.…”
