Abstract Background: Although the precise etiology of osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) has yet to be fully elucidated, it is known that nuclear receptor subfamily3, group C, member 1 (NR3C1), 5, 10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) and insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 3 (IGFBP3) are related to the pathophysiology of steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head (SONFH). The expression of NR3C1, MTHFR and IGFBP3 are regulated by epigenetics and genetic profiles. Objective: The primary objective of this study was to investigated the association between NR3C1, MTHFR and IGFBP3 gene polymorphisms and DNA methylation status and SONFH.Methods: This case-control study included 79 patients with SONFH and 114 patients who took steroids but did not develop SONFH. We evaluated 5 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) out of 3 genes in Chinese Han population. These SNPs were genotyped by improved multiplex ligation detection reaction (iMLDR). Methyltarget was used to test the methylation level of positive sites, the interaction between SNPs and DNA methylation level was analyzed using eQTLD technique.Results: We identified rs3110697 in the IGFBP3 gene that was potentially associated with a reduced risk of SONFH in the genotype (P=0.008; odds ratio [OR]: 0.741; 95% confidence intervals [CI]: 0.456–1.205) and in the recessive model (P=0.003; OR: NA; 95% CI: NA–NA). Furthermore, CpG sites with significant differences in methylation levels were screened as follows: IGFBP3_2-143, MTHFR_1-36, MTHFR_1-77, MTHFR_1-139, MTHFR_2-42, NR3C1_2-163, NR3C1_4-47, and the differences were statistically significant compared with the control group (p<0.05). A total of 10 pairs of linear regression tests of SNP and methylation sites were statistically significant (p<0.05).Conclusions: SONFH is a polygenic disorder in which a wide range of interactions between SNPs and DNA methylation levels may dominate the course of the disease.

Abstract Background Genetic polymorphisms play a crucial role in the development of osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). This study mainly explored the association of IL-6 variants and ONFH susceptibility among the Chinese Han population. Methods Two variants (rs2069837, and rs13306435) in the IL-6 gene were identified and genotyped from 566 patients with ONFH and 566 healthy controls. The associations between IL-6 polymorphisms and ONFH susceptibility were assessed using odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (95% CI) via logistic regression. The potential function of these two variants was predicted by the HaploReg online database. Results The results of the overall analysis revealed that IL-6 rs2069837 was correlated with decreased risk of ONFH among the Chinese Han population (p < 0.05). In stratified analysis, rs2069837 also reduced the susceptibility to ONFH in older people (> 51 years), males, nonsmokers, and nondrinkers (p < 0.05). However, no associations between rs13306435 and ONFH susceptibility were observed (p > 0.05). Conclusions To sum up, we suggested that rs2069837 G>A polymorphism in the IL-6 gene was significantly associated with a decreased risk of ONFH among the Chinese Hans. These findings underscored the crucial role of IL-6 rs2069837 in the occurrence of ONFH.

Abstract Background: This research aimed to study the associations between XPD (G751A, rs13181), hOGG1 (C326G, rs1052133) and XRCC4 (G1394T, rs6869366) gene polymorphisms and the risk of colorectal cancer (CRC) in a Chinese Han population. Method: A total of 225 Chinese Han patients with CRC were selected as the study group, and 200 healthy subjects were recruited as the control group. The polymorphisms of XPD G751A, hOGG1 C326G and XRCC4 G1394T loci were detected by the RFLP-PCR technique in the peripheral blood of all subjects. Results: Compared with individuals carrying the XPD751 GG allele, the A allele carriers (GA/AA) had a significantly increased risk of CRC (adjusted OR = 2.109, 95%CI = 1.352–3.287, P=0.003). Similarly, the G allele (CG/GG) of hOGG1 C326G locus conferred increased susceptibility to CRC (adjusted OR = 2.654, 95%CI = 1.915–3.685, P<0.001). In addition, the T allele carriers (GT/TT) of the XRCC4 G1394T locus have an increased risk of developing CRC (adjusted OR = 4.512, 95%CI = 2.785–7.402, P<0.001). The risk of CRC was significantly increased in individuals with both the XPD locus A allele and the hOGG1 locus G allele (adjusted OR = 1.543, 95%CI = 1.302–2.542, P=0.002). Furthermore, individuals with both the hOGG1 locus G allele and the XRCC4 locus T allele were predisposed to CRC development (adjusted OR = 3.854, 95%CI = 1.924–7.123, P<0.001). The risks of CRC in XPD gene A allele carriers (GA/AA) (adjusted OR = 1.570, 95%CI = 1.201–1.976, P=0.001), hOGG1 gene G allele carriers (CG/GG) (adjusted OR = 3.031, 95%CI = 2.184–4.225, P<0.001) and XRCC4 gene T allele carriers (GT/TT) (adjusted OR = 2.793, 95%CI = 2.235–3.222, P<0.001) were significantly higher in patients who smoked ≥16 packs/year. Conclusion: Our results suggest that XPD G751A, hOGG1 C326G and XRCC4 G1394T gene polymorphisms might play an important role in colorectal carcinogenesis and increase the risk of developing CRC in the Chinese Han population. The interaction between smoking and these gene polymorphisms would increase the risk of CRC.
