核因子-κB受体活化因子配体(receptor activator of Nuclear factor-kappa B Ligand,RANKL)、核因子-κB受体活化因子(receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B,RANK)、骨保护素(osteoprotegerin,OPG)作为肿瘤坏死因子家族的成员...核因子-κB受体活化因子配体(receptor activator of Nuclear factor-kappa B Ligand,RANKL)、核因子-κB受体活化因子(receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B,RANK)、骨保护素(osteoprotegerin,OPG)作为肿瘤坏死因子家族的成员,通过RANKL/RANK/OPG信号通路调节破骨细胞发生及成熟,调控骨代谢,其表达水平直接影响骨质代谢与重塑,现被广泛研究。RANKL/RANK/OPG通路在口腔颌面部形成及改建过程中发挥了关键作用,直接或间接反映出口腔骨破坏类疾病的发生与发展状态。该通路的失衡往往伴随RANKL的增加和(或)OPG的减少,RANKL/OPG的比值影响破骨细胞的成熟及功能,但部分疾病中相关因子的表达水平存在争议,且尚无能应用于临床疾病诊疗的阈值。本文就RANKL/RANK/OPG信号通路调节机制及其在牙周炎、种植、牙齿发育、正畸、颌面部骨缺损修复与再生等口腔相关领域的研究现状进行综述,以进一步探讨口腔中骨代谢及骨破坏类疾病的调节机制,并评价相关因子作为生物标志物的诊断和预后潜力,以期指导临床诊疗及探寻可能的免疫调节靶点。展开更多

Methods: 1) A total of 200 subjects were selected from Shihezi area, all of which were postmenopausal women. According to Bone mineral density (BMD), the subjects were divided into normal control group (group A) and simple abnormal bone mass group (group B), and according to different glucose tolerance levels, they were divided into: simple T2DM (group C) and T2DM with abnormal bone mass (group D). 2) Measurement of bone, sugar, lipid, Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), BMD (L1-4), and BMD (neck of femur), respectively. 3) The polymorphism of OPG gene locus was detected by Mass ARRAY mass spectrometer. 4) Analysis of variance was used for measurement data among multiple groups;the influencing factors of BMD were analyzed by multiple linear regression. Results: 1) Compared with group A, fasting blood glucose (FPG) and HbAlc levels in groups C and D were increased. BMD (L1-4) and BMD (neck of femur) levels in groups D and B were decreased (P < 0.05). 2) In group D, Ca of rs2073618 mutant (GG/GC) was higher than that of wild type (CC), and Ca of rs3102735 mutant (CC/TC) was lower than that of wild type (TT). In group C, BMD (1-4) of rs2073618 mutant (GG/GC type) was higher than that of wild type (CC type), P < 0.05. 3) Multiple linear regression analysis: the increase of body mass index (BMI) and triglyceride (TG) is the protective factor for the increase of L1-4 (BMD), and the increase of menopause years is the risk factor. Elevated high density lipopro-tein (HDL-C) is a protective factor for increased bone density of femoral neck, and the increase of menopause years is a risk factor. Conclusion: rs2073618 and rs3102735 polymorphisms of OPG gene are not associated with menopausal T2DM women with OP, but the mutations of these two sites are associated with OP in postmenopausal T2DM women in Shihezi.展开更多
