Background: Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is a disease with a high disability rate, and genetic factors are closely related to its pathogenesis. This study aimed to investigate the possible correlation between ESR1 and APOE gene polymorphisms and the risk of ONFH.
Methods: In this case-control study, the potential association between three genetic variants (rs2982573 C < T, rs10872678 C < T, and rs9322332 A < C) of the ESR1 gene and two genetic variants (rs7259620 A < G and rs769446 C < T) of the APOE gene with the risk of ONFH was investigated. Correlations between gene polymorphisms and ONFH risk were assessed using logistic regression analysis, with calculation of odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs).
Results: The overall analysis demonstrated that rs9322332 in the ESR1 gene exhibited a correlation with a decreased risk of ONFH under the homozygous (AA vs.CC: OR = 0.69, 95% CI [0.53-0.90], p = 0.006), dominant (CA + AA vs. CC: OR = 0.70, 95% CI [0.54-0.90], p = 0.006), and additive (OR = 0.79, 95% CI [0.66-0.95], p = 0.013) models. The stratification analysis revealed that rs9322332 was linked to a lower risk of ONFH in subgroups characterized by individuals aged over 51 years and non-smokers. Nevertheless, there were no notable correlations found between ESR1 rs2982573 and rs10872678, as well as APOE rs7259620 and rs769446, with the risk of ONFH.
Conclusion: ESR1-rs9322332 is closely linked to a decreased risk of ONFH, thereby enhancing our understanding of the relationship between gene polymorphisms and ONFH.

Ovarian-derived estrogen can signal non-canonically at membrane-associated receptors in the brain to rapidly regulate neuronal function. Early alcohol drinking confers greater risk for alcohol use disorder in women than men, and binge alcohol drinking is correlated with high estrogen levels, but a causal role for estrogen in driving alcohol drinking has not been established. We found that female mice displayed greater binge alcohol drinking and reduced avoidance when estrogen was high during the estrous cycle than when it was low.

Standard treatments in hormone receptor-positive (HR+)/HER2-metastatic breast cancer (mBC) typically involve endocrine therapy (ET) combined with CDK4/6 inhibitors, yet resistance to ET remains a persistent challenge in advanced cases. A deeper knowledge of the use of liquid biopsy is crucial for the implementation of precision medicine in mBC with real-time treatment guidance. Our study assesses the prognostic value of and mutations in DNA derived from extracellular vesicles (EV-DNA) in longitudinal plasma from 59 HR+/HER2-mBC patients previously exposed to aromatase inhibitors, with a comparative analysis against circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA).

Long-term exposure to NP and OP, as common synthetic endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) in surface water environments in China, is closely associated with the development of chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, their potential targets and toxicological mechanisms for inducing CKD remain unknown. This study utilizes network toxicology and molecular docking techniques to explore the potential toxic targets and molecular mechanisms of CKD induction by NP and OP.

The etiopathogenesis of endometriosis, a chronic debilitating disease affecting nearly 10% of women, has evaded elucidation until the recent epigenetic discoveries. Although still deemed multifactorial, endometriosis is likely predisposed in women with genetic and epigenetic alterations, which are activated by environmental factors. There are many epigenetic changes that have recently been associated with endometriosis: DNA methylation and phosphorylation, modifications to histones and non-coding RNA, and chromatin remodeling and organization.
