Background: Steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head is a relatively serious condition which seriously reduces patient quality of life. However, the pathogenesis of steroid-induced ONFH is still unclear. In recent years, more scholars have found that the pathogenesis of steroid-induced ONFH is related to susceptibility factors such as / system. The main purpose of this study is to investigate the correlation between and gene polymorphisms and steroid-induced ONFH in Chinese Han population.
Methods: Six SNPs in and two SNPs in were genotyped using Agena MassARRAY RS1000 system from 286 patients of steroid-induced ONFH and in 309 healthy controls. The association between and polymorphisms and steroid-induced ONFH risk were estimated by the Chi-squared test, genetic model analysis, haplotype analysis, and stratification analysis. The relative risk was estimated by odd ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs).
Result: We found that the minor TG allele of rs470154 in was associated with an increased risk of steroid-induced ONFH (OR = 1.45, 95% CI, 1.03 - 2.05, = 0.032). In the genetic model analysis, we found that rs2241146 in gene and rs470154 in gene showed a statistically significant association with increased risk of steroid-induced ONFH. The six SNPs (rs470154, rs243866, rs243864, rs865094, rs11646643, and rs2241146) showed a statistically significant association with different clinical phenotypes.
Conclusion: Our results verify that genetic polymorphisms of and contribute to steroid-induced ONFH susceptibility in the population of Chinese Han population, and our study provides new insights into the role that and plays in the mechanism of ONFH.

Background: Glucocorticoids (GCs) are critical regulatory molecules in the body, commonly utilized in clinical practice for their potent anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties. However, prolonged, high-dose GC therapy is frequently associated with femoral head necrosis, a condition known as glucocorticoid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head (GC-ONFH). Emerging evidence suggests that enhanced autophagy may mitigate apoptosis, thereby protecting osteoblasts from GC-induced damage and delaying the progression of ONFH.

Background: Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is a refractory orthopedic disease with a high disability rate. Long-term administration of steroids is the most common pathogenic factor for non-traumatic ONFH. Early diagnosis of steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head (SONFH) is difficult and mainly depends on imaging.

Methylprednisolone (MPS) use is linked to increased cases of osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) have shown potential for treating MPS-induced ONFH, but their effectiveness is limited by high apoptosis rates post-transplantation. We developed a pre-treatment strategy for BMSCs to improve their viability.

Article Synopsis
- Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is a severe hip disease linked to oxidative stress from high-dose glucocorticoid use, and protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) is suggested to play a crucial role in regulating oxidative stress in osteoclasts.
- The study identified 70 potential gene targets for intervention in steroid-induced ONFH, emphasizing PDI's importance through bioinformatics, network analysis, and in vitro experiments with dexamethasone (DEX), which stimulate osteoclast formation.
- Molecular docking experiments assessed various PDI inhibitors, revealing significant binding energies and interaction mechanisms, suggesting that PDI plays a positive regulatory role in osteoclastogenesis stimulated by dexamethasone

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on how steroid-induced femoral head osteonecrosis (ONFH) is linked to an imbalance in bone homeostasis, particularly through the effects of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs).
- Inhibiting monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL) has shown promise in improving ONFH by reducing oxidative stress and promoting the differentiation of BMSCs towards bone-forming cells instead of fat cells.
- The research identifies the cannabinoid receptor 2 (CB2) as the key receptor involved in this process and highlights that MAGL inhibition helps maintain bone balance by suppressing bone resorption and influencing pathways related to BMSC differentiation.
