Gene expression profiling of peripheral blood in patients with steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head.
Personalized Medicine 2024 March 20
Aim: Steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head (SONFH) is a severe complication following glucocorticoid therapy. This study aimed to identify the differential mRNA expression and investigate the molecular mechanisms of SONFH. Materials & methods: RNA sequencing was performed in eight SONFH patients, five non-SONFH patients and five healthy individuals. Results: A total of 1555, 3997 and 5276 differentially expressed mRNAs existed between the following combinations: SONFH versus non-SONFH, SONFH versus healthy subjects and non-SONFH versus healthy subjects. Increased ISM1 expression might contribute to a high risk of SONFH through antiangiogenesis. Decreased FOLR3 expression might affect the metabolism of homocysteine, leading to avascular necrosis of the femoral head. KCNJ2 , which plays a pivotal role in regulating bone development, was also deregulated. Conclusion: ISM1 , FOLR3 and KCNJ2 might be related to the occurrence of SONFH.
