The present study investigated the effect of puerarin on promoting the osteogenesis in steroid-induced necrosis of the femoral head (SONFH). New Zealand rabbits were administrated with horse serum and methylprednisolone (MPS) for establishing SONFH in vivo model, which was then treated with puerarin treatment. Histo-morphological changes in the femoral head were examined by hematoxylin-eosin staining. Osteoblasts were isolated from healthy rabbits and treated by individual or combined administration of dexamethasone and puerarin. Osteoblast viability was measured by CCK-8 assay. Mineralized nodule formation was evaluated by alizarin red assay. Expressions of RUNX family transcription factor 2 (RUNX2), Type-I collagen α 1 (COL1A1), ALP and miR-34a in the femoral head were determined by qRT-PCR and Western blot. Puerarin attenuated the effect of SONFH on promoting histopathological abnormalities and counteracted SONFH inhibition on the expressions of ALP, RUNX2, COL1A1 and miR-34a in the rabbits. Rabbit osteoblasts were successfully isolated, as they showed red mineralized nodules. Dexamethasone exposure decreased osteoblast viability, which was increased by puerarin treatment. Furthermore, puerarin treatment attenuated dexamethasone-induced inhibition on the viability, osteoblastic differentiation, and the expressions of ALP, RUNX2, COL1A1 and miR-34a in the osteoblasts. Puerarin facilitated osteogenesis of steroid-induced necrosis of rabbit femoral head and osteogenesis of steroid-induced osteocytes via miR-34a upregulation.

The decrease in zinc-finger E-box-binding homeobox-1 could accelerate steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head by repressing type-H vessel formation via Wnt/β-catenin pathway.

Background: Zinc-finger E-box-binding homeobox-1 (ZEB1) is predominantly found in type-H vessels. However, the roles of ZEB1 and type-H vessels in steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head (SONFH) are unclear.
Methods: Human femoral heads were collected to detect the expression of ZEB1 and the levels of type-H vessels.

Overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) results in oxidative stress, a critical factor in the pathogenesis of steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head (SONFH). Excess ROS not only hinders the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) but also impairs mitochondrial structure and function, resulting in irreversible cellular damage. Herein, a biomimetic multifunctional scaffold comprising Zn-modified metal-organic framework 818 (Zn-MOF-818) loaded with deferoxamine (DFO), gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) hydrogel, and demineralized bone matrix (DBM) is shown to scavenge excess ROS, promote angiogenesis, and regulate immunity.

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.

Article Synopsis
- The research investigates the role of histone deacetylase 10 (HDAC10) in the adipogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) and its implications for steroid-induced avascular necrosis of the femoral head (SANFH).
- Dexamethasone treatment was found to worsen the differentiation balance of BMSCs, with HDAC10 showing significantly reduced expression in adipogenic differentiation models.
- The study suggests that decreased HDAC10 levels lead to increased PPARγ expression, contributing to the progression of SANFH, and highlights potential therapeutic avenues for the condition.

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
