The association between postmenopausal osteoporosis and APC gene polymorphism was analyzed based on quantitative CT measurement of lumbar vertebral bone density / 中华内分泌外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the relation of two SNPs of adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene E1317Q (RS1801166, G > C) and D1822V (RS45952, A > T) polymorphism with osteoporosis and bone metabolism in postmenopausal women.Methods:A total of 374 postmenopausal women who underwent routine physical examination in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine from Mar. 2019 to Mar. 2021 were selected as subjects, and divided into normal bone mass group (103 cases) , osteoparrosia group (114 cases) and osteoporosis group (157 cases) . Bone mineral density was measured by a 128-slice spiral CT machine manufactured by Siemens. Clinical and bone metabolic indicators were recorded. Two SNPs were genotyped by capillary electrophoresis and fragment analysis (SNaPshot) . The relative expression level of APC gene mRNA was measured in quantitative real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction system.Results:There were significant differences in genotype and allele frequency distribution of APC rs1801166 and RS45952 among the three groups (all P<0.05) . For rs1801166 site, paircomparison results showed that the genotype distribution of the osteoporosis group was significantly different from that of the normal bone mass group and the decreased bone mass group ( P<0.05) . Allele frequency was significantly different between the two groups ( P<0.05) . For rs45952 site, pairwise comparison showed that the genotype distribution and allele frequency were significantly different between the osteoporosis group and the normal bone mass group ( P<0.05) . There were statistically significant differences in serum calcium, serum phosphorus, alkaline phosphatase, 25-hydroxyvitamin and bone mineral density between wild type and mutant type at rs1801166 (all P<0.05) . There were statistically significant differences in serum calcium, alkaline phosphatase, 25-hydroxyvitamin and bone mineral density between wild type and mutant at RS45952 site (all P<0.05) . There was statistical significance in the mRNA relative expression of APC gene in the normal bone mass group, the bone mass reduction group and the osteoporosis group ( P<0.05) . The mRNA relative expression level of APC gene in wild type at rs1801166 and RS45952 sites was significantly higher than that in mutant type (all P<0.05) . Conclusion:APC gene polymorphism is significantly correlated with osteoporosis and bone metabolism in postmenopausal women, and may affect the expression level of APC gene.
