Osteoporosis (OP), a metabolic disorder predominantly impacting postmenopausal women, has seen considerable progress in diagnosis and treatment over the past few decades. However, the intricate interplay between genetic factors and endocrine disruptors (EDCs) in the pathogenesis of OP remains inadequately elucidated. The objective of this research is to examine the environmental pollutants and their regulatory mechanisms that could potentially influence the pathogenesis of OP, in order to establish a theoretical foundation for the targeted prevention and medical management of individuals with OP.

Article Synopsis
  • Postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP) is a widespread bone disease with unclear molecular causes; this study sought to discover genetic diagnostic markers for it.
  • The researchers combined three GEO datasets to find differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and used machine learning algorithms to identify candidate biomarkers, ultimately selecting ACACB and WWP1 for further analysis.
  • These markers were validated through clinical samples and were linked to processes like amino acid synthesis and immune cell interactions, offering potential targets for future immunotherapy for PMOP.

Background: With the extensive development of intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) research, IDD has been found to be a complex disease associated with immune-related gene (IRGs) changes. Nonetheless, the roles of IRGs in IDD are unclear.

Methods: In our study, 11 IRGs were chosen using differential analysis between nondisc degeneration and degenerative patients from the GEO database.

Inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), accompanied with protumor and antitumor activity, has been studied in multiple cancers. However, the role of iNOS expression in osteosarcoma (OS) is far from being fully understood. In present work, iNOS levels were detected in OS tissues and cell lines.

The mechanism of action of synovitis, as the vital pathological process of rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis, remains to be elucidated. The effects and the mechanism of icariin (ICA), which is a promising therapeutic agent in synovitis, was investigated in the present study. In addition, ferroptosis, a vital cell process involved in several diseases, was also studied in synovitis for the first time.
