Article Abstract
Postmenopausal osteoporosis (OP) is a prevalent skeletal disease with not fully understood molecular mechanisms. This study aims to investigate the role of circular RNA (circRNA) in postmenopausal OP and to elucidate the potential mechanisms of the circRNA-miRNA-mRNA regulatory network. We obtained circRNA and miRNA expression profiles from postmenopausal OP patients from the Gene Expression Omnibus database. By identifying differentially expressed circRNAs and miRNAs, we constructed a circRNA-miRNA-mRNA network and identified key genes associated with OP. Further, through a range of experimental approaches, including dual-luciferase reporter assays, RNA pull-down experiments, and qRT-PCR, we examined the roles of circ_0134120, miR-590-5p, and STAT3 in the progression of OP. Our findings reveal that the interaction between circ_0134120 and miR-590-5p in regulating STAT3 gene expression is a key mechanism in OP, suggesting the circRNA-miRNA-mRNA network is a potential therapeutic target for this condition.

Fracture Prevention with Infrequent Zoledronate in Women 50 to 60 Years of Age.
N Engl J Med
January 2025
From the Department of Medicine, University of Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand (M.J.B., Z.N., A.M., C.G., V.P., B.M., A.G., I.R.R., G.G., A.H.); the Department of Psychology, Stanford University, Stanford, CA (C.G.); and the Department of Radiology, Starship Hospital, Auckland, New Zealand (S.B.).
Background: Zoledronate prevents fractures in older women when administered every 12 to 18 months, but its effects on bone density and bone turnover persist beyond 5 years. Whether infrequent zoledronate administration would prevent vertebral fractures in early postmenopausal women is unknown.
Methods: We conducted a 10-year, prospective, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial involving early postmenopausal women (50 to 60 years of age) with bone mineral density T scores lower than 0 and higher than -2.
Effect of romosozumab on bone mineral density and trabecular bone score in premenopausal women with low bone mass.

Department of Internal Medicine, Severance Hospital, Endocrine Research Institute, Yonsei University College of Medicine, 50-1 Yonsei-Ro, Seodaemun-gu, Seoul, 03722, Republic of Korea.
Unlabelled: We investigated the efficacy of romosozumab in premenopausal women with low bone mass. Romosozumab substantially increased bone mineral density and trabecular bone score in these women, aligning with its proven therapeutic benefits for postmenopausal osteoporosis.
Purpose: Romosozumab, an anti-sclerostin antibody, is a promising anabolic agent that increases bone formation and decreases bone resorption.
An audit on the assessment and management of osteoporosis in a Parkinson's and related diseases clinic in Australia.

Macquarie Medical School, Parkinson's Disease Research Clinic, Macquarie University, Sydney, NSW, 2109, Australia.
Background: Patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) and atypical parkinsonian syndromes are at increased risk of falls and should be actively screened and treated for osteoporosis. In 2024, the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP) revised their practice guidelines for diagnosing and managing osteoporosis in postmenopausal women and men aged over 50 years.
Objective: We conducted the first Australian study to audit these guidelines in patients with PD and atypical parkinsonian syndromes.
Eldecalcitol Add-On to Risedronate Reduces Bone Loss from Aromatase Inhibitors in Postmenopausal Breast Cancer Patients.
J Clin Endocrinol Metab

Department of Metabolism, Endocrinology, and Molecular Medicine, Osaka Metropolitan University Graduate School of Medicine, Osaka, Japan.
Context: Aromatase inhibitors (AIs) cause bone loss and increase fracture risk in women with hormone receptor-positive early-stage breast cancer (HR+EBC). Bone antiresorptive agents are recommended for patients at risk of fragility fractures. Eldecalcitol, combined with bisphosphonate, increases bone mineral density (BMD) in primary osteoporosis.

Hypothesis: This study sought to assess the level, the diagnostic potential, and the effect of circulating miR-4534 in osteoporotic fractures.
Methods: GSE74209 and GSE93883 were analyzed using GEO2R online tool for differentially expressed microRNAs in osteoporotic fractures.
