Osteoclastic activity was associated with the development of steroid-induced osteonecrosis of femoral head

AbstractThis study is focussed on evaluating and comparing two mediators of osteoclast, osteoprotegerin (OPG) and nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL), in plasma and tissue levels in patients with steroid-induced osteonecrosis of femoral head (SIONFH). Subjects were included in this cross-sectional case...

description AbstractThis study is focussed on evaluating and comparing two mediators of osteoclast, osteoprotegerin (OPG) and nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL), in plasma and tissue levels in patients with steroid-induced osteonecrosis of femoral head (SIONFH). Subjects were included in this cross-sectional case-control study in 2016. Bone histomorphology, immunohistochemistry, Western blotting, OPG and RANKL plasma levels, post-hoc statistical power and receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curves were evaluated. Eighty-six patients diagnosed with SIONFH and 51 healthy subjects were included. OPG expression levels in bone samples increased with ARCO stage, and RANKL expression levels decreased with ARCO stages. Plasma OPG and RANKL levels were significantly higher in the SIONFH group compared with the healthy control group. The plasma OPG level and ratio of OPG and RANKL were positively associated with ARCO stages and significantly higher in stages III and IV. Plasma RANKL levels were negatively associated with ARCO stage and were significantly higher in ARCO stages II and III. Plasma OPG and RANKL may represent potential biomarkers during SIONFH at different stages. Higher plasma OPG levels indicated late-stage SIONFH, and higher plasma RANKL levels indicated early stage. Our findings may provide a clue for the development of diagnostic tools and therapies for SIONFH.
